It gathers the energy and inspiration of a 40 year art career. Created between 1975 and 2015, these Fine Art works represent an overall life experience, and you are invited to discover not only the paintings but the \"open book\" of this artist's life  I specialized in Oil Pastels, my favorite medium to express my inner feelings and emotions born from everyday life. I would try to capture the ambiance or mood of a particular moment or scenery, and transfer it onto the canvas or paper. However, I would also often first make spontaneous sketches in nature, courtesy of my other favorite media: Soft Pastels, Gouache, Watercolor and Graphite Sticks, the perfect tools for studies that would enable me to catch an instant in time. Through these artworks, in turn you are invited to discover the inner travels these paintings may inspire. My wish is that they are like keys that open the world of Imaginary Travels, and that they allow the viewers to embark and complete the artwork in their own way. The keys to freedom may just be there in these magical images, escape awaits: look, see, dream, create and become children again as in simpler times  Happy Imaginary Voyages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9781517543310\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49449843622182,"sku":"9781517543310","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/63e3b591-2cee-588a-8754-4cdea8c5cb8a.jpg?v=1724997614","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/once-upon-a-time-figurative-painting-1975-2015","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
