What if I was to tell you I could paint a picture with words displaying an ode with colors dreamt from the far recesses of the mind, colors so vivid they become sounds and rhythms. Simple yet so complex that the lines between these three worlds become but a blur, made solid through the love of the arts, this work is a mere pittance of what Poeartry is, was and will be.
Its rays paint people and life above and below. It is the confirmation of love through actions, patience and the adherence of the tough. It is the example of the divine three as that displays daily through the many facets of Poeartry.
The intention is to inspire the seed of Poeartry in you.
Artist Information:
I am a self taught artist painting and sketching people, pets, murals and landscapes in a variety of different genres.
Life circumstances have afforded me the experiences of many things, such as the many different cultures and landscapes of assorted countries.It has given me time to reflect and hone my skills and abilities but most of all the time to express myself.
Artists that have influenced me are Pino, John Sargent, Pablo Picasso, Crosby, Rembrandt and Basquiat. Though I do not liken my work to the above mentioned, their work to me is of great importance to how I perceive color vs. content. Fauvism and limited brush strokes accompanied by bold contrast to convey the image as well as social commentary is a staple in my art.
There is an indescribable pleasure in knowing where you’ve been and where with time and growth, you’re going. My fondest hope is that you experience some if not all of my vision in my paintings.
