About the Item
Artist Comments
A neo-expressionist interpretation of the Three Magi, or Three Kings, that came to see the newborn Jesus. Artist Damian Gomes worked in a rough painterly style, mostly applying paint with his hands and palette knives. "The figures are posed for the viewer, like a photograph," explains Damian. "The raw canvas background pushes the figures towards the viewer."
About the Artist
Artist Damian Gomes paints expressionist portraits that meld his subjects' outward appearance with their inner state of mind. His rough, heavily worked canvases feature characters from old photos, dreams, books and television, rendered in a loose balance of poignance and humor. Although mostly self taught, Damian took several semesters of life drawing in college and credits his teacher - "a lovely woman named Josie" - for helping him establish the foundations of his art. Damian lives in Jerome, Arizona, a former ghost town in the mountains now known for its vibrant arts community. He paints in a converted studio space in the old high school with sweeping views and lots of natural light. When he's not painting, Damian enjoys traveling to the beach, the woods and the desert. "I just love to see things I've never seen before," he says, "but really the art keeps me busy even when I'm not making it."

Artist Comments
Artist Sharon Sieben paints an expressive portrait of a long-haired woman. The subject shuts her eyes, appearing in a meditative state. Rich shades of deep purple and indigo make up a dreamy atmosphere. The background consists of multiple layered colors mixed with cold wax.About the Artist
Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar...Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Expressionist More Art
