The Sacred Heart - by Edward Longo |
| |
| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
* SEE NOTE BELOW
My biggest inspiration came when I completed "Scent of An Orchid."
Ultimately, each painting becomes manifest, subconsciously, without ever having a particular theme, or specific image in mind. This is what master artist Longo has said about his unusual creative process: "In essence, each and every painting has been painstakingly processed, spiritually, as I am certain those talented artists who have passed must have experienced.
* NOTE: ALL PURCHASES ARE MADE THROUGH PAYPAY SECURE SERVER. ALL PAYMENTS ARE GUARANTEED SAFE. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Each time I began painting it was as if I had experienced what master artists of the past must have imagined during the process of creating their impressions. As I kept experimenting with different techniques it became evident to me that I had sometimes gotten in touch, spiritually, with some of these legendary artists. After allowing this process to flow, I realized I had found a way to have my images become more in keeping with the eloquent, spontaneous, brush strokes of these masters.
"Ultimately, each painting became manifest, subconsciously, without ever having a particular theme, or specific image in mind."
In essence, each and every painting has been painstakingly processed, spiritually, as I am certain those talented artists who have passed must have experienced. This mysterious connection actually felt as if it was being transmitted through my own hand - each piece becoming developed through a different attitude. At times, while in the creative zone, it was as if I had been stimulated by a bolt of immense, positive electricity.

| Your Personal Biography |
Edward Longo's paintings are combinations of spontaneous inspiration, emotional freedom and daring color explorations. Longo describes the creative process as "the art of transferring one's feelings from the palette onto the canvas." Early life on the East Coast brought Edward Longo in contact with the verdant countryside and oceans, inasmuch as brine rolling foam and lusty breezes became ingrained within the confines of a truly sensitive spirit. With bold colors and painterly brushstrokes, Longo's work possesses a passionate flair, even in his most serene compositions. His work displays the attention to intense colors and geometric shapes of Abstract Expressionism, while exuding the Romanticism and soft brushwork of Impressionism. Originally from Hartford, CT, Edward Longo studied architectural drafting and painting. Adding photography to his list of talents, throughout the past twenty years he has exhibited his work in prominent Manhattan galleries, hotels, and public spaces. He currently lives and works in New York City.
