Anthony Soskich was born in Austria, but has lived most of his life in the
Chicago-land area. He graduated from North Park College with a major in
Fine Arts.
His medium is oils and he has been painting with them for more than 50
years. He has been trained to paint with glazes, which capture the light
needed to enhance each work of art. Glazing has been a lost art in the 20th
century, but is starting to make a strong comeback.
During the past 50 years Anthony's methods and subject matter have evolved
dramatically. In the 60s, he started off as an abstract artist and later he
found a need to work in the German/Expressionist School. As he grew older,
he found that impressionism/realism was best suited for him and that is
reflected in his current body of work.
Anthony works both as a plain-air and studio artist and his work runs from
large florals to seascapes, wildlife, and landscapes. Lately he has been
working on older European villages and more contemporary subjects such as
tango dancers and jazz scenes.
His paintings have been collected throughout the United States and Europe. |
