Growing up, the artist's father played a significant role in shaping their artistic abilities. With a self-taught background, he instilled a strong understanding of composition and perspective in his children. The artist and their brother engaged in friendly competition when it came to painting, using the reverse sides of script paper brought home by their father to hone their skills. While the brother pursued a successful career in graphic art, the artist followed a different path as an engineer, but never lost their passion for sketching, drawing, and oil painting on the side.
After some time away, the artist rediscovered their love for oil painting and dove back in with enthusiasm. The challenge of capturing various subjects, from landscapes to figures, has brought a new level of excitement and learning to each piece. Embracing a loose approach in brushwork, the artist focuses on shapes and colors rather than intricate details, allowing for a more expressive and dynamic style. In contrast, pencil sketching provides a different outlet for precision and a change of pace, adding versatility to their artistic repertoire.
Overall, the artist finds joy and fulfillment in the process of creating, whether through oils or pencil. Each piece is a learning experience, offering deeper insights into the artistic journey. As they continue to explore and grow as an artist, they hope that viewers can share in the pleasure of their work. For those looking to enhance their home or office decor with unique and expressive prints, the artist's creations are a wonderful choice to consider.
