Edward Kariti Inspiration for Other Artist
Edward Kariti has taught the world a legacy of visual happiness. His unique role in the development of art through the medium of oil has involved quite a bit over the years. Thorough intertwining the Eastern and Western artistic sensibilities he has inspired his peers on both coasts to look through new eyes.
His colorful, even whimsical, paintings carry elements of realism, cubism, abstract, surrealism, and impressionism into joyous displays of imagination, all based on plain air paintings and sketches made on location all around the world.
Being able to draw, or paint does not make one an artist. Every work of art comes from a place filled with love and passion, and is an expression of the sum total of the artist’s personality. Although technical skills are definitely required, for Edward Kariti they are nothing but a tool to communicate one’s message.
Attitude is what makes one artist different from another. For an example, when Edward is sketching or painting outside his workshop, a sensation arises as if he is watching a movie or dreaming. Although he is fully involved with the scene, somewhere deep inside, he is different. At that moment the beauty of the world becomes enhanced and that is a very pleasing sensation. For him that it is one of the best gifts of being an artist.
His work can be found in private collections worldwide, but it can also be viewed and purchased online. He has also published a textbook for oils and acrylics instruction which is used all throughout the Unites States. Edward’s oil instruction articles have appeared in several publications worldwide, including some of the most prestige art magazines internationally.
Art is the core of an artist’s live. Artists wake up to fall asleep thinking about art. A true artist needs to manage himself, his creative energy and resources, balance the time to produce art and to market it. Success does not happen overnight, it requires hard work. In order to become an artist you must understand that things don't always work out the way you expect them, and accepting that can save you a lot of time and nerves.
