"Welcome to my art studio. It is a life long vocation to think, design and produce art in the many mediums that exist. My mission is to produce excellent art that continues our heritage and culture - art that makes us wonder - art that is the intellectual spirits of our lives. With a continuous life long study, experience and practice, I continue to visualize, design and produce art that captures the emotions and the story in vivid colors using many techniques passed down from the old master.
Many of the ancient techniques are not practiced today and are lost in our modern times.
Since 1973,I take the best practices of these techniques (ancient and modern) and use them today to create archival quality art that endures. I practice and pass down these methods as I educate the next generation of artists thru my art student sessions. I study the science of art, in design, optics and technical execution. The many mediums of art, using the dry materials such as charcoal, graphite, wax pigment pencil, metal point and oil pastel, chalk and ink to the wet mediums of aquias pigments with water color, aggazo (tempera), egg tempera, the modern acrylic (1959) to the supreme art medium of oil painting. The study of the substrates and the chemistry of the mediums and how they interact to produce wonderful artworks. My art is thought provoked by life's experiences and our collective heritage. My art is driven by the passion to add culture (intellectual achievement) to our lives. My art is calculated with many skilled techniques in vivid colors (as the ancients tell us - treat every color as a precious gem).
That is the Grand Tradition that makes our modern times so crucial to bridge the past to the present - to continue the human element of skill, education, vision and execution - alive! There is no greater passion for us mere mortals to dream, than to achieve those visions in great art." Mariano Klimowicz , humbly termed by my dear friends as a modern master.
