One of America's premier contemporary figurative fine artists Eric Armusik creates original oil paintings that are museum quality 21st Century realism masterpieces in the manner of the painter Caravaggio and his followers. Eric’s classical paintings fill the gaps between 17th Century Italian Baroque artists and his own original thematic interpretations of religion, mythology, history and his own life as a representational fine artist, portrait painter, a husband and a father. Each original oil painting draws from his experiences and art historical background in telling the stories for each original oil painting. The parallels between reality and what subjects he paints showcases the accessibility and honest appeal of his paintings to novice and seasoned gallery art collectors alike.
