Graham Burquest

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to look at my work.

A few notes...

I like to use oil paint. It has a great physical quality, especially when used to paint skin. That is probably why i like painting the figure so much.

I like art that has an aesthetic quality and underlying good draughtsmanship. I keep trying.

Literature and music play a role in my work. I have a fascination with religions and myths, the characters and roles that they play.

I have been interested in art for many years and have worked in various artist studios. All of the work seen here has been produced since 2007
