- "I do tend to be a melancholy type of personality, so there is a little bit of mystery to my paintings.
Yet, I want to convey a happy feeling-joy and hope.
There is a lot of negativity in the world and, as an artist; I believe we have a duty to bring hope into people’s lives".
Steven Quartly è un rinomato pittore impressionista contemporaneo che dipinge ad olio utilizzando la tecnica della spatola.
Una semplice tela bianca si trasforma in una splendida scena urbana europea, un paesaggio marino mediterraneo o un caldo paesaggio californiano.
Noto per la sua prolificità, completando fino a 120 dipinti all'anno, lavora fino alle 17:00, quando si unisce alla famiglia per cena, tornando spesso a dipingere fino a notte fonda.
Mentre lavora, ascolta musica, forse i classici, Bach o Schubert sono i suoi preferiti, o le canzoni romantiche di Andrea Bocelli.
- "Tendo ad avere una personalità malinconica, quindi c'è un po' di mistero nei miei dipinti.
Eppure, voglio trasmettere una sensazione di felicità, gioia e speranza.
C'è molta negatività nel mondo e, come artista, credo che abbiamo il dovere di portare speranza nella vita delle persone".
