Portrait of the Soul, The Presence of Memory Print

When GW Deibler settles on a project to work on, his focus is as unwavering as his imagination is unlimited, depicting his subjects warmly and vividly like the accomplished visual storyteller that he is with his medium of choice being fine oil. This is what defines him as a person and an artist even as he explores a variety of topics and specializes in southwestern landscapes, portraits of people from all walks of life, and paintings that feature his own unique style that is dynamic yet distinctive. His works are captivating with an expressive realism that is informative. GW Deibler fell in love with oil painting in 1963 at the age of 8. His mother was an artist and exposed him to the world of art by teaching him various painting and drawing techniques, which is how 6 years later, he went on to have his first one-man art show in New York and started selling his work. And he has never looked back since. His artistry is a fulfilment of a lifetime spent studying and learning every technique available to a painter with a proficiency in adapting to the choice of theme at the moment. By dwelling in the present, he is able to create high quality works of art. GW Deibler has an eye for detail and a bold use of color that tends to capture the natural world in all its glory even as his feelings of the subject are clearly evident in each brush stroke. It is his deep love and respect for G-d, nature, and all humanity which drives him to depict true beauty as found in the imperfections rather than the perfections - devoid of filters - as this is where genuine appreciation resides. And as his paintings such as The World Heals and Mourns: Portrait of the Soul “Y” among others portray, there is so much that needs to be communicated, and GW Deibler is up to the task as a vessel and symbol of hope, inspiration, and raising awareness through his creations.
