Kevork Cholakian

Artist Statement:
" I have always been influenced by the Early Dutch Masters: the way they used color, light and shadow to create luminous still life paintings.  I choose to paint subject matter that is rich in color, texture and character of an imperfect nature. I use the juxtaposition of strong color against opposite or neutral tones to help focus full attention on each element in my work. Painting on smooth surfaces in transparent layers helps me to create subtle variations of color, luminosity and realism. Color is a central focus. Simplicity and clarity are my primary goals. "
