ARTISTS
Eugene Kuperman
Eugene Kuperman is a published and an award winning artist. Eugene 2019s work is in many private collections including in a private collection of Robert Harris Rothchild who has many notable works in his collection by artists like: Rembrandt, Chagall, Dali, Ernst, Lichtenstein, and many more. Eugene Kuperman studied painting the landscape in the impressionistic style with the Russian painter, Alexander Antonyuk Senior since he was a child and up until his teens. An art catalog came out in 2012 featuring many of those artists as well as the work commissioned from Eugene. From 2010 to his passing in 2014, Eugene Kuperman studied with a renowned Russian artist Leonid Steele whose works are in many museums in the world, including pieces in the notable Tretyakov Gallery in Russia. One of Leonid 2019s former teachers was a student of a famous Russian landscape painter: Isaac Levitan and another teacher he had, was a student of the famous Russian artist: Ilya Repin. From the end of 2014 since Leonid 2019s passing, Eugene studied painting with an award winning artist Lance Richlin until 2016 whose technical lineage goes back to the French Academic Masters of the 19th century and one of the teachers that he studied under taught Norman Rockwell.

Eugene has been exhibiting since 2006. In 2008, Eugene traveled for a study abroad trip to Paris, France to study the old masters from life at the Louvre. He was very much inspired by the Rubens room there as well as the two Michelangelo sculptures; Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave. Another piece that left an impression on Eugene was Theodore Gerricault 2019s The Raft of the Medusa. In October 2017, Eugene Kuperman traveled to Italy to study the great Italian Renaissance and Baroque masters. He 2019s witnessed the greatest works by Michelangelo first hand, such as Statue of David, St.Peter 2019s Pieta, Sistine Chapel, Tomb of Pope Julius II, Doni Tondo, Pieta Palestrina, the unfinished Slave sculptures, Dome of St.Peter 2019s Basilica and more. Michelangelo serves as his greatest inspiration for his incredible sense of design and composition. In September 2019, Eugene went back to Italy for further individual studies. He experienced first hand the Medici Tombs designed by Michelangelo as well as many other invaluable Italian works of art which gave Eugene further understanding of art as well as inspiration. Since late 2014, early 2015, Eugene took a new direction in art. He took upon himself to create works of social commentary which to any extent educate, enlighten, and promote a positive change in society. Eugene Kuperman has been published in various art books, magazines, and newspapers.

I have a BA in Fine Art from UCSB and have studied oil painting, watercolor and drawing at Art Center College of Design as well as the Florence Art Studio for the past 10 years. When I'm not drawing or painting I love to go to the beach, play poker, go for long walks and read.

Tony Garzio is available for private bookings

Available during the week and some weekends for private tutoring or commissioned work like portraits or special imagery.

Title or Location: Vibrancy of lord Ganesha
Painting is very new to me, I only started a few months ago. It was a great way to spend time with my twin 8 year olds and the perfect way to keep them away from the Nintendo lolAs a beginner, I was inspired to paint Lord Ganesha because he is the deity we traditionally pray to at the start of something new. This painting marks the beginning of my own artistic journey, and choosing Ganesha felt natural ? he symbolises wisdom, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles.The vibrant colours a

My art journey with Grace has been an incredible experience. She was originally intended to be a quick study of a white horse done in soft pastel. Little did I know, my vision was failing. I had developed cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration which all seriously compromised my vision and my color perception. I found myself struggling with proportions and balance which ultimately caused me to go to the eye doctor. My treatments have been successful and despite the many prior errors I was
