Artist Statement

GRETA CORENS: ARTIST and ART TEACHER
How do my backgrounds in Architectural Interior Design and Fashion Design blend to form an Artist and an Art Teacher? By learning from the Masters to paint in all mediums, expanding the range with classes in Anatomy, and by continuous life drawing sessions, my range as an artist was constantly enriched with artistic quality influences, while my career in fashion design induced a practical sense of style, elegance, value, and quality. These factors translate into intuitive color expression, the finesse of composition in art, seeking to portray conceptually enthralling or realistic subject matter, while enhancing and defining the artist and art teacher always more. Most importantly: this education has created the desire to enrich other artists with these experiences and depth to strengthen their expressive ability.
