| About the Artist: Craig Srebnik's life has revolved around the arts and culture: as a professional artist, art lecturer and teacher, ballet soloist, musician, and the study of literature, philosophy, history and languages. His award winning artwork has appeared in American Artist, American Art Review, Art Business News, The Art Guide, The Artist, Art World News, Art of the West, Carrie Leigh's Nude, International Artist and Southwest Art magazines. Srebnik's sinuous, romantic nudes and clothed figures have been described as a "painterly, Classical Naturalism"--combining the timeless beauty of Classical and Baroque Masters with the light, atmosphere and expressive brushwork of contemporary painters. His work is the continuous evolution of more eloquent visual solutions to the timeless questions of beauty, rhythm, harmony and balance; an orchestration of light, shape, color and brushstrokes. The Artist on His Art: "My art distills each personal, visual experience to its essence and expresses it in its most eloquent terms--elevating each subject into the realm of the poetic."
