Paz Winshtein

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I believe that art is a way of bringing new
ideas into the world. Whether it is art that
expresses a mood or tells a story,it is a form of
Communication. Since the human figure is the
main tool we use to communicate with the world,
it is the main focus of my art. My paintings are about
contact with the outside world and the difference
between self and environment I do not conform to one
particular school of painting and my influences include
everything from Egon Schiele to Carravagio and Durer.
I combine expressive new styles with a respect and
understanding of classical forms.
