For over a century now artists looked inward for inspiration due to the emotional pain they experienced looking outward at a world defined by the hell of permanent wars and other imperial aspirations of the ruling elites. Each art movement speaking to a smaller audience. I look towards an outward view that speaks to as wide an audience as possible and seek an art form that expresses the beauty of the human spirit and of all creation.
Where do you find inspiration?True inspiration comes from the creative process itself, usually way into the painting process. It’s not something that comes superficially before starting to make a work of art. To start a painting takes discipline; to finish one takes inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?Cost for studio space in NYC area is around $10,000 annually. Covering cost for paint, painting tools and canvas, crating and shipping can be in the $5m to $10m range annually. What’s left over would go to consulting fees for marketing my art online through the internet.
