Joe Velazquez - 2010 Fall Arts Festival - Artist Of The Year |
|
Commenting on his goal as a painter and his philosophy of art, Velazquez says, "I am not happy simply replicating a photograph in paint, as we see is so common in the western art field today. I don’t believe this is art. The great old master painter, Harvey Dunn eloquently summed it up – ‘Paint a little less of the facts and a little more of the spirit’. I hope I have given my work the soul and spirit Mr. Dunn spoke of". Joe lives and works in Colorado.
