Oil Painting on canvas. 30" x 40" "In the Garden"
What is art?....art is such a large part of our everyday lives, we hardly even stop to think about it. Look at the desk or table where you are, right this minute. Someone designed that. It is art. Your shoes are art. Your coffee cup is art. All functional design, well done, is art. "Art is something that is (hopefully) aesthetically pleasing to our eyes."
What is an Artist?
what it means to be one. Obviously it's a person that creates art, so why do we have to still get into debates over whether a person is an artist or not? Why do some people still believe that only the chosen few should have the title of "artist" stamped to their forehead?
The confusion naturally leads to the word "art" which is probably where all the mix-up starts. If a person has his/her own definition of art narrowed down to include pretty paintings and realistic sculpture, they may not classify a lot of artists as "artists".
"Painting only can "describe" everything which can be seen and suggest every emotion which can be felt! Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man's only lasting monument!"

Más allá de toda especulación o tendencia en las artes visuales, la pintura artística, se diferencia de cualquier otro tipo de pintura, en que su práctica no corresponde necesariamente a una demanda, sino a la búsqueda personal de un mensaje visual, que trascienda al material usado en sí, emergiendo detrás de las formas y los colores y sus tonalidades, un contenido que invite al espectador a explorar un camino que se recorre a través de las manos del mismo pintor. Siempre basándose en las técnicas elementales de la pintura como lo es la composición, el equilibrio, ritmo, forma, color y valor.
La pintura es la expresión de ideas, pensamientos y sentimientos en el papel, madera, paredes etc. Para esto el pintor necesita una habilidad para pintar y además una situación en que se base, es decir, un conflicto, problema, o situación en la que este se encuentre.
"El pintor persigue la línea y el color, pero su fin es la Poesía" --Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
