Nicholas Foschi

"I first stare at a blank canvas, envisioning the colors and design that I would like to create, and then manipulate the paint to fulfill my desire. "

Nicholas Foschi is intrigued by texture, color, and the juxtaposition of various shapes. His use of broad paint strokes creates a flow of energy on the canvas. His goal is to transport the viewer into a land of calm and intrigue. The artist accomplishes this by putting many thin layers of paint, glaze, and texture on canvas.

Foschi uses a combination of acrylic paint, charcoal, acrylic inks, pastels, paper, and other media to create a vision with depth.

Foschi was born in 1951 in Paterson, New Jersey. From an early age, he was inspired by color. After graduating from Montclair State University, he became a teacher and worked with elementary school children in the same grammar school that he had attended. In 1981, he moved to California to pursue his own art adventures. He has been participating in art shows and displaying his art in galleries ever since.
