JOHN R. SALKO
Artist Statement
My art evolves from my creative desire to push the envelope of experimentation. I strongly believe the "growth of an artist" hinges on a questing vision, taking chances and pushing into un-charted waters. Whenever I paint, I feel an emotional and passionate connection to life, which instills a vibrancy in my work. In keeping my work fresh, I am free to express my emotions without being boxed into repetition, yet my work is identifiable by my style, designs, rich colors and finshed appearance of each one-of-a-kind piece. Using "color as the communicator", my medium is oil or acrylic paint sealed with a poly finish on wooden panels. I also enjoy creating interesting designs of black and white.
