About Virginia Praschnik

"When stories are told without words, we can hear with our eyes." This statement aims to explain my creative expression. Through my work I tell a story, not just a place or a person, but the emotion that it brings. My work is mostly representational, using oil painting in an impasto technique with palette knife. This process allows me to experiment with textures and mixtures of the purest colors. With a passion and education in the arts, (started art school at age 5). I have made a successful career in design for which I have won 23 national and international awards. My everyday work as a designer some how made my artwork evolve, stepping away from the "school", embracing natural, raw expression and boldness, which can be defined as outside art.
