the Artist - Scott E. Strong
Statement
For my inspired pieces, the Art I create helps me to express the emotions I feel when being drawn to a beautiful landscape, a particular expression on a unique face, or even an interesting curve or form. I try to capture my initial reactions and recreate those feelings into the subject matter I’m exploring, as well as incorporating form, color and composition.
Regarding my commissioned pieces, my main concern & focus is to channel each client’s ultimate vision by exploring their ideas, thoughts and emotions, all the while adding my own sense of style and artistic creativity for a unique piece of art. I work in Oil and Acrylic, my styles range from traditional to expressionism, and more.
