Caffe Torino is proud to present: Handiwork of Color and Light by local artist Dimitriy Gritsenko. Dimitriy uses a variety of materials for his paintings, but prefers to work with oil, egg tempera and charcoal. In his own words:
I’ve always been inspired by art and in return I try to illustrate subjects people can relate to. By adding hints and metaphors, I avoid painting simply “pretty pictures”. I always start with abstract use of color, line and form before refining and creating likeness to my subject; just as in building a pyramid you start with a large rough platform before gradually building a body and finally the peak (details). My work is realistic but not “photographic” because almost anyone can copy, yet originality requires deeper understanding, confidence, and individuality. I believe every person should express their beliefs and message clearly to the greater audience: I try doing so by painting realistic subjects humans interact with on a daily basis- our like, mammals, and the surrounding atmosphere.
