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.

On a gray, rainy day in February, we buried my sister's husband. He fought a valiant battle with a terminal illness. Prior to his passing, he reconciled with God and with family members from whom he had been estranged for decades. He was buried under a beautiful, young sapling. A rainbow came out as the cemetery workers were lowering the casket into the ground. He is heaven now and no longer in pain.

By deconstructing the original flower I am able to recreate it out of crepe paper. Fine tuning the details and hand painting each of these makes it quite magical. I get to see how the flowers come to life. Stepping out of the box, I used the individual pieces I made and attached them to driftwood.

Years ago, while hiking in the Sierra, I came across an old abandoned church - literally in the middle of nowhere. It seemed odd, out of place. I even knocked on it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Ever since I've had a fascination for old abandoned places and the stories they could tell. As I work on a painting like this one, Mountain Top Splendor, I usually can't help developing a story about it. The home was once occupied by a veteran of the great war, who sough peace and serenity with his

Permission by photographer, Suzanne Hallerman. The minute I saw this photo, I fell in love with it. The colors the landscape, the small town... just charming. This is the description I put on my website: "This mixed media colorful painting has a texture made of tissue paper in the hills surrounding it, acrylic, oil, and ink, and to make it more unusual? a sheet of an old hymnal page ?My Faith Looks Up to Thee". This tight little village is set in a place where friendship and fishing are
