ADI-News.com released an article, Signed, Contemporary Art Works by Famed Boston Artist Veny are Being Presented at Online Gallery, about me, my work and my online gallery. The article says some very flattering things about my work and even quoted me from the website. I may be too modest, but being referred to as a famous artist is both a little embarrassing, but also very nice at the same time. Three of my favorite works were displayed in the article so that is nice to have my work get more viewers.
Veny’s work can match the best works of abstract artists as well as completely realistic depictions of life. Her talent and training has made her one of the most sought after contemporary artists in Boston and the world. Veny is even taking commissioned painting requests and has decided to limit herself to only a few of these requests. This limitation has created more value for the prize of a commissioned work by Veny and the online gallery has received several requests for the honor. ADI-News.com.
Even this very blog was mentioned in the article. It’s very nice to be recognized in such a way and to have my artwork seen by a broader audience. I really like that my friends and family were mentioned in the article. They mean so much to me and it’s good to have them recognized because they are really my biggest inspiration in my creative process. One thing in the article that was intriguing was how many artists paint some of their greatest works out of dark times.
As with the great artists, much of their talent and beautiful artwork came from a much darker time or place. It is as if art is fueled by tragedy and loneliness and can creating something of beauty is an escape for the artist. Veny’s works are much the same and her story as an artist began in a similar manner…ADI-News.com.
I think that this is a true statement. There are a lot of beautiful paintings that have come from sadness or tragedy just so that the artists can escape to a happier place, a place where their thoughts are so focused on creation and not the sadness or tragedy itself. That is why I think that art is very therapeutic for many and if more conflicts in the world could be resolved by creation rather than destruction, it would be a more beautiful world.
I really like that the Boston art community was mentioned. Boston is such a great city and I like that I am able to bring it some recognition in a positive way. Boston has done so much for me and I like giving back. Well, I thought I would mention the news article and maybe see what some of you thought about it. I like that the article can be shared on Facebook and Twitter. If you liked the article feel free to share it with your friends!
