The Beauty in Old Masters techniques

Artwork by Nellys Garcia

I was born in the tropic, where colors, lights and shadows plays around us inviting us to observe it, to enjoy it, where light increase the beauty of the multicultural human being skin colors and movement of nature… thus began my passion for color and the pleasure of imitating that beauty with draw and paint.

I am an artist in love with the beauty of the techniques used by the old masters, and by the fascination that it produces in me to enjoy them today even there are centuries in between, the audacity of including contemporary techniques in the background of an artwork with classical techniques as well as The Royal Ontario Museum in which modern architecture merges with its ancient architecture showing a fascinating contrast in which beauty captivates old and young, everyone. But I need to be clear in my description, the realism and the old master’s techniques should to be preserved for the new generations, remembering how the realism in old master’s techniques protect the natural beauty of the human being and the nature that surrounds him trought arts, it’s our history, it’s our heritage.

Art occupies the first place in my life, that’s why I lost in the time while I paint or draw in my art studio. Old Masters Academy has been a guide in my path as artist since I have been their student in Live Drawing Academy Course, now I would like to learn more painting techniques from the old masters, for that reason I would like to win and enjoy the Old Masters Academy Course Competition as an achievement.

I believe in the beauty of art, and I firmly believe in the fascination that art creates in the viewer, that’s why I believe in the viewing public that will know how to give me their vote for the drawing with which I participate in this contest. I will jump for joy if I win this contest, I will be very grateful to my friends, fans and the general public. Will be a great gift.
