Custom framed in a black metal frame, with double layer black matting. It is in excellent condition. Please note that the marks on the pictures are not a part of the item, they are the reflection of the light when the photos were taken. About the artist: Born in November of 1949, the first of ten children, he grew up in a large Catholic family in St. Joseph, Missouri. By necessity he learned hard work at an early age and left home at 18 to pursue his own destiny. He worked several jobs throughout the Midwest and Colorado. In Iowa, he met and married his first wife, Sandra Jo Hadley, and soon fathered a family of four: First, Lisa, followed by Lori, Sara, and Rudy. He settled in Denver where he furthered his education studying art. With the help of his art instructor Mel Carter, he found that his natural sensitivity could combine with his other talents to enhance the world of others through his art. As his skill increased to meet his talent, Fermin sought a venue for his creations. He was initially attracted to New Mexico as a place known to have rich market for art, but soon found himself captivated by much more. The shadows and light seemed to cut sharper here more than in any of his previous homes. He moved to New Mexico in 1985. He would work from photographs, using images he shot. From the images he would create a master drawing, from this master, he would draft plans for a finished piece that would include up to 40 different stencils for each shade and hue. Some of his later works required days of agonizing planning to create color strategies for images only in his mind. The finished works were astounding. By the time of his passing, he left an absolutely masterful legacy with his work selling to collectors worldwide.
