COLLECTOR'S FOCUS

FIGURATIVE ART

ship with and find them to be interesting

to paint. I choose to paint everyday people

that have a deep complexity to who they

are. I like to use lines, shapes [and] light to

breathe life into everyone I paint.”

Mykul Lee says, “With my work, I would

like to bridge a balance between classical

posture and contemporary composition.

My advice to collectors is to invest in what

you love, and please continue to support

representational art.”

Sculptor Natalie Levin explains, “My

desire is to serve the sacred in life, and to

infuse each sculpture with an aliveness that

touches the heart of the viewer and brings

them closer to the divine essence of life.”

On a recent visit to France, Pamela

B. Padgett visited a farm that produces

Calvados apple brandy. “These smart

Australian shepherds in France are such fun

to watch. They herd the sheep who trim the

grass beneath the apple trees so harvesting

is simple and no pesticides are used,” she

says. “The dogs work so hard and are so

eager to get it right. [It] reminded me of

my approach to painting—practice, practice,

practice! And the Calvados is delicious!”

Natalya Burgos creates in her home studio

surrounded by countryside fields, trees

and nearby the unending seaside horizon

of Texas’ Corpus Christi. Adapting from

themes of nature, fairy tales and ancient

myths, Burgos’ paintings display deeply

personal portrayals of our raw, primal

nature, moving us to confront the inner

shackles that bind us to one another.

“When you choose a contemporary artwork be true

to yourself and follow your heart. If you will treat it like

you are obtaining a new friend and pick something you

really like, then years later you wouldn’t regret the choice

you’ve made.” — Natalya Burgos, artist
