Painting stolen from Dallas Elbow Room!

Between 12 August-- 12 November 2006 I had a few paintings hanged in Dallas Elbow Room. In November when I went to picked them up, to my surprise I found out that one of them is missing. None knew what happened, they said they didn't sell it and they had no idea about what might have happened to my artwork!

I was so frustrated!!! And I don't know what made me more upset the fact that my painting was missing or the people's ignorance over there?!

I decided to share this experience with you because, in case you are an artist or craftsman, be careful when hanging your works in a public space for days it is very possible to not find them anymore!

Announcing Irving Artists Home Studio Tours, Nov 4 & 5!

Want to see me at work?

Many of you asked me to post photos from my studio. So here they are, I just finished arranging my new studio and finally am able to work again. And because I know all of you are curios about seing how a painting is created, I will keep you posted with step by step photos.

Eugene Delacroix about painting

"the material process which we call painting, is no more than the pretext, the bridge between the mind of the artist and that of the beholder. Cold accuracy is not art. Skillful invention, when it is pleasing or expressive, is art itself. The so-called conscientiousness of the great majority of painters is nothing but perfection in the art of boring. If it were possible, these fellows would labor with equal care over the backs of their pictures.It might be interesting to write a treatise on all the falsities that can be added together to make a truth." (Eugene Delacroix, July 1850)

Top 11 reasons to buy original contemporary art!

Some folks may ask: "Why buy original art when you can buy a nice print?" I tried to gather several reasons for which buying original contemporary art is more valuable and satisfactory then purchasing ordinary prints.

TOP 11 REASONS TO BUY ORIGINAL ARTWORKS FROM CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS:

1. Because you will own something far way more beautiful then a print, plus absolutely unique! No one else in the world has it. It's one of a kind!
2. Because the original captures the soul of the artist, what the artist feels when is creating the piece can tangibly be felt in an original artwork.
3. Because it directly reflects your character and personality!
4. Because an original artwork is something that you can cherish and enjoy for a lifetime, and your children and grandchildren after you. It will enrich your life.
5. Because it is more than time for another Renaissance in the arts.
6. Because there is no better way to encourage a talented artist.
7. Because it is a shame that most of the best artists are ignored in their lifetime.
8. Because some of the best painters of all times may be alive today.
9. Because this could be an incredibly good investment.

10. Because this is the perfect present for someone who already has everything.
11. Because prints are definitely not the same!

Butterfly 2

Butterflies have become the symbol of open minded people... I don't know who started this wave but, lately every life coach, photographer or designer has a butterfly as a symbol on his business card, among works or as logo. Butterflies everywhere!
This is a custom work that I've done for someone who adores butterflies!
