Welcome to the bad ass side of art. It's not about what's popular or trendy. It's not about what critics claim is beautiful. It's not about following traditional principles and practices for painting. Van Slyke Art is all about turning the conventional art world upside down. Art for art's sake. I don't paint for critics or the masses but for myself. I create because I feel—it's as simple as that. I share because it connects with my audience. Everyone is going through something. So, each painting resonates in its own way. Painting expresses what words can't say. Pain, joy, and everything in between flow through the hues that transform my canvases. When you match that with natural light or innovative lighting fixtures, you bring your home or office to life with both color and emotion. Art is a moment, a fleeting feeling. It's like capturing lightning in a bottle. The moment the inspiration is gone, you can't force it back or express it artistically. I create each painting in less than an hour. Anything more alters the intention and inspiration behind it. For nearly 15 years, painting has given me strength through my highs and lows. To everyone who has been a part of my creative journey, "Thank You!" And to those new to it, "Welcome to Van Slyke Art & Lighting Concepts!"
