D-Xirable Art! Bryce Cameron Liston Paintings!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

Another painter that I love is Bryce Cameron Liston. I love how beautiful and realistic his paintings are. He does an amazing job with the female figure and form! He also does an amazing job with abstract expressionism. I don't know the titles of these paintings, however, they are beyond beautiful and amazing!

The Artist - Bryce Cameron Liston

“Being an artist and painting the human figure is what compels me.
It wakes me up at night, it's what I love and I drive myself to do it very well.
Art is my life-long obsession, pleasure and torment".

“I wanted to learn about the craft of art. I wanted to learn to actually produce art, not just discuss it.” ~Bryce Cameron Liston

"But Bryce will be the first to tell you he is a self taught artist."

“It was a subject that excited me- I always had energy and interest for it.” It was here that Liston found his love of the human form. “I don't quite know why I was drawn to the human form; I suspect the seed was planted while studying the art of the great American Illustrators like N.C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle.” ~Bryce Cameron Liston

"The artist has within himself the power to convey the idea of what it means to be human. Great art connects us and bonds us; it’s about this experience of being human. To me to focus on the human form is the highest form of art. The human body contains within it the spirit of life itself".

D-Xirable Art! Omar Ortiz Paintings!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

I would like to continue my posts about some of my favorite painters and artists. Another one of my favorite painters/artists is Omar Ortiz. I love how realistic his paintings look! They look so real! Also, they are really beautiful and gorgeous! I love how he paints the female body and form! Such amazing art!

"Since I started painting I have always tried to represent things as real as I can. Sometimes I succeed and some others I don´t but it´s a fact that it is very difficult for me to do otherwise.

I enjoy the challenge of reproducing skin tones and it´s nuances under natural light, particularly in bright conditions. I like simplicity in my pieces since I believe that excesses make us more poor rather than rich."

~Omar Ortiz

Omar Ortiz's work is characterized as minimalistic - hyperrealism where the human body is predominate with texture-filled backgrounds and a magical use of fabric. He is an accomplished hyperrealistic painter and commands fine control over light and skin tone in all of his paintings which he generally paints on large canvases. The main element of his paintings is human figure, mostly nude women. Nudity and hyper-realism makes his art alluring and sensual. Another feature is his minimalist style: a white setting, human figure and a magical set of fabrics characterize his work – It’s difficult to discern if the image is a photograph or a painting. Omar Ortiz currently works with oil painting because he considers it the noblest technique. His paintings act like intimate pieces, trapped in themselves, outside of space and context.
