Rafael Sander
Artist Statement




I am an oil painter impressionist and plain air painter. Plain air painting is my passion and express my appreciation and beauty of the natural world and its scenery. I capture the winter morning or the light of the evening sunset with my interpretation of nature. My passion for color varieties is the endless source of inspiration and condition of nature at the time of the day and the season. When I begin my work I mainly focus on the composition and the general proportion of the scenery and the way in which I can translate it to canvas. Much of my happiness as an artist is the ability to express my vision and emotions with others who love art. My favorite medium is oil and the main influence in my art came from French impressionism, postimpressionism and expressionism. My favorite artists are Cloude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Alfred Sisley, Maurice de Vlaminck, Vincent Van Gohg, Paul Gauguin.
