| Beyond the Future Oil on Canvas 36” x 48” Eugene Djolos Soleyev |
Through his art, the artist allows the world to see, touch and feel who he is. A little frightening, isn’t it? We cannot be free to be who we are if we are not willing to risk being who we are in front of others.
It is so much easier to play it safe, to be part of the norm - to follow rather than lead. To think and do the traditional, go along with the establishment. Cater to the academia, please the juror. Entertain the audience. Be part of the ball game - the common condition called conforming. But the true artist must create.
Freedom of expression and imagination, sacred and uncompromising, is the mandate of the artist. Create in the realm of the greatest pleasure and adventure. The true artist is gifted and must risk showing his gifts of creation without explanation or apology. In the end, the art of being able to follow this need to create without fear and with a full desire for exploration is the art of the true artist.
Eugene Djolos Soleyev is one of the true artists I’ve been fortunate to know and work with. Eugene’s art brings truth to his vision and imagination without compromise.
Soleyev's art can be found in the Plesh Creative Group Design Library, and available for licensing.
