Duffy Sheridan, 1947 | Realistic Figurative painter

Duffy Sheridan, American painter🎨, has been painting since he was a child. His father, also an artist, encouraged him to learn to paint anything and everything. He has traveled the world and dedicated his artistic life to the discovery and expression of beauty as he sees it.
Although he and his family spent many years in relative seclusion in the far corners of the world, Sheridan's work has attracted the attention of collectors on five continents.
Since returning to the United States in 1991, his work has received international acclaim and he has been designated a Living Master by the Art Renewal Center.
His paintings can be found in prestigious institutions from a Cathedral in the South Pacific to the US Air Force Academy to corporate headquarters in Manhattan, as well as in the private residences of kings, judges, bishops, doctors and collectors all over the world.
For over 35 years the teachings of the Baha'i Faith have been the primary influence of Sheridan's life and work and have dominated his continual search for that balance of craftsmanship and artistic expression which has the ability to elevate, in some small way, the human condition.




Sheridan feels that he is in the process of learning to appreciate the richness of humankind and has come to believe that the purpose of his work should be
"to magnify the dignity and nobility of the human spirit and the singular beauty of all things.When people look at one of my paintings, I'd like them to see that humans, indeed, are noble beings".

Duffy Sheridan, pittore Americano🎨, dipinge da quando era bambino.
Il padre, anche lui artista, lo incoraggiò a imparare a dipingere di tutto e di più.
Sheridan ha viaggiato il mondo e dedicato la sua vita artistica alla scoperta ed espressione della bellezza come lui la vede e interpreta.
Anche se lui e la sua famiglia passarono molti anni in una solitudine relativa, relegati negli angoli più lontani del mondo, il lavoro di Sheridan ha attirato l'attenzione di collezionisti dei cinque continenti.
Di ritorno negli Stati Uniti nel 1991, il suo lavoro ha ottenuto riconoscimenti a livello internazionale ed è stato nominato Living Master dal Art Renewal Center.
I suoi dipinti si trovano in prestigiose istituzioni, da una cattedrale del Pacifico meridionale all'Accademia Aeronautica Statunitense presso la sede aziendale a Manhattan, nonché nelle residenze private di re, giudici, vescovi, medici e collezionisti di tutto il mondo.
Da oltre 35 anni gli insegnamenti della Fede Baha'i hanno influenzato molto le idee e il lavoro di Duffy Sheridan e hanno guidato la continua ricerca di questo equilibrio tra artigianato ed espressione artistica che ha la capacità di elevare in qualche modo la condizione dell'Uomo.
Sheridan sente di essere in grado di apprezzare la ricchezza dell'umanità e crede che lo scopo del suo lavoro sia quello di
"magnificare la dignità e la nobiltà dello spirito umano e la singolare bellezza di tutte le cose".
