John Vazalinskas - Artist's Statement page 3

"Having always delighted in discerning those features of my environment which make it particularly attractive to me, I gravitated toward design. For as long as I can remember, I have been busy depicting my world as I see it, progressing from drawing as a young child to caricatures and cartooning during my school years, then to a hobby in figurative and abstract experimentation in acrylics while I worked and eventually to my second career in oil painting.

Painting alongside artist colleagues, I strive to continually refine my skills in observing and interpreting the varied subjects which I choose. While I feel more expressive painting natural landscapes, I enjoy capturing urban scenes with impact because this requires a range of perception that exceeds the traditional limits of composition, shape, light and color.”
