ORIGINAL   ART  -   IMPRESSIONIST   AND   SURREAL   OIL   PAINTINGS   BY  NICK  SARAZAN
 
NEW  ADDITIONS  TO  OIL  PAINTING  GALLERY
In this gallery, I have collected the works from my most recent exhibition "Streetlife". These paintings will be shown seperately here for a short period of time.
 
PLEIN  AIR  CITYSCAPE  OIL  PAINTING  GALLERY

A collection of colorful and full of light impressionist style oil paintings with a hint of photorealistic qualities.  Featuring European street life with cafes, bistros and restaurants from France, Spain  and other countries. Italian motifs are also included through canals, gondolas and venetian facades.

   
MULTIPERSPECTIVE CITYSCAPES  OIL  PAINTING  GALLERY

A gallery of my trademark multiperspective cityscapes. Vibrant colours and the surrealist style collaborate to create a busy yet intimate atmosphere on the canvas. Cities in Morocco, France, Italy and the Greek islands are depicted here.  

   
OLD  COLLECTION  SURREAL  OIL  PAINTING  GALLERY
A gallery showing the works I produced at the start of my artistic career. During these years social issues were my main artistic inspiration. The main themes are social stratification and religion. The surrealist style in these works allows me to play with the motif and creates an almost satirical quality.
 
 

My paintings represent a wide range of motifs; I paint what I see and what I enjoy – breathtaking landscapes and busy cityscapes. The frothy waves of the tide on a cold Scandinavian coast, the sunlight burning the massive mountains of Provence or the unexpected beauty of a roadside bush are all pictures that have etched themselves in my mind and thus earned their place in my gallery.

I paint traditional watercolours and enjoy bringing a landscape to life in the transparent and suggestive world of this technique. When oil is my medium, I allow myself to stretch the limits of the technique and experiment; by using multiple perspectives in one painting I can increase the experience, and by using unorthodox material blends, I can increase the expression.

My development as an artist has been as long and diverse as my life. My travels, chance meetings with strangers, loves and losses have made my senses increasingly acute. I enjoy experiencing life, and I enjoy trying to capture life. I hope you will enjoy my work.

Nick   Sarazan.
