Read More Featured Artist | Eva LewarneIn my work, I strive to create imagery that invites the viewer to have their own subjective experience and interpretation. Though much of my work is figurative, I am uninterested in slavish representation. Instead, I use my art as an expressive outlet where I seek to convey a sense of feeling, atmosphere, transitory memory, and the existential experience of the individual.

His style was dubbed “New Perceptionism” by the American National Gallery of Art lecturer Arthur DeCosta. This “new perception” is a style in which Roman illusionistic realism meets modern illusionism, and is camera corrected as opposed to camera conditioned.

CELEBRATE LIFE, LOVE, LAUGHTER AND JOY

,,I have drawn with pencil for longer than I can remember. I love painting. I work with passion and love. It is like a second nature to me. My painting is a kind of therapy for me. It lets me say things that i cannot express any other way and at the same time allows me to populate the space around me with artefacts of myself.
As an Artist I have always wanted to express the beauty of our African heritage. My paintings are an extension of the classic form of figurative painting using people of color.
Most of my paintings make statements on culture and the human condition. My challenges in creativity continue to evolve, the reason for this is evident in the many events in the times we live in and through.

Read More Toni-Lee SangastianoAs a person and an artist, I am all over the place. My art would agree with that statement, if you could ask it. While this used to be an insecurity of mine, art has helped me transform my way of thinking as well as helped me realize that sometimes being all over the place isn’t always a bad thing. While my subject matters fluctuate, the one constant in all of my work is my process. My pieces are crafted with Oil on Canvas and I am obsessed with building many transparent layers. While my style is most obviously recognized as realism from a far, I believe the only way my art can be fully appreciated is by getting up close and personal with each piece, noticing all of the painted textures and minute details.
