Alfredo Navarro Montllor

Upon gazing into Alfredo Navarro's pieces one can see the dual nature that is the sea, its awe inspiring mystery and its tranquil beauty. As the course of the day unfolds his pieces retain their own luminescence as if they go by their own time. Having been an artist since he was a child, Navarro chose Seascapes as his dominant theme after being commissioned to do a mural while serving in the Spanish Military.

Blue and Calm

Alfredo Navarro was born on the eastern coast of Spain in the city of Alcoy (Alicante) in 1965. Initially inspired by his father, Navarro attended the art school of Escuela Municipal de Bellas Artes at a young age. He continued his education in Valencia where he received a degree in economics at the Valencia Univeristy as well as an art degree from Circulo de Bellas Artes.

He then returned to Alcoy to paint and apprentice under the painter/teacher Selles. Also a painter, Navarro’s father taught his son the techniques of oil painting. Navarro’s younger brother accepted their father’s art training, too. At age 19, Navarro began painting professionally and in 1986 received first place in an art exhibition sponsored by the Government Delegate of Galicia in Galicia, Spain.

Navarro considers his technique somewhere between Realism and Hyperrealism. His studies provided an admiration for the artists Velazquez, Picasso and Greco. Navarro respects Velazquez for the artist’s ability to capture the soul of a person in a portrait and the colors and atmosphere used to create the paintings. Picasso and Greco are admired for their bold creativity and expressive colors. Such creativity, expressive colors and atmosphere can be found in Navarro’s striking sunsets, sweeping seas and foaming waves. Inspired by the vastness of both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Navarro paints seascapes of undulation as well as seascapes of tranquility. With great artistic emotion and power, he captures waves crashing against rock formations. He paints translucent waves gently rolling into shore as the evening’s sunset pierces through the water. His calm seas mesmerize viewers with the ocean’s expanse, or the feeling of a warm sun dancing on the water, or an endless horizon.

Thomas Easley

Self taught, Thomas Easley is one of the most prolific artists of our time. Having lived in numerous places throughout the world, he seized each opportunity to explore a new form of artistic expression that has led him to become accomplished in a myriad of styles and forms of subject matter that range from minuatures to realism and from nudes to abstract expressionism; he is modern renaissance man. Below is more about the artist  from our website, www.hansongalleryfineart.com. 

Tall in the Morning Light

Thomas Easley was born in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains where he spent his youth enjoying the deep woods and grand vistas in and around the Lake Tahoe basin.

Easley did not go to art school. He is a self-taught artist whose successful career spanning 30 years and three continents has taken him from the snow capped Sierras of his childhood to the verdant hills of England, the canals of Venice and the banks of the holy Ganges in India.

Each location has provided Easley with insight for his inquisitive mind and inspirationfor his blend of painting styles and techniques: In England he painted illuminations, miniatures and portraits, in Italy he painted nudes, architectural landscapes and floral still life, India’s mysticism made him delve into dimensional realism, surrealism and allegorical works.
Since Easley’s return to the United States, he has focused on wine still life paintings that are reminiscent of the warmly lit rich style of European masters and energetic roosters filled with attitude and elegance. He also paints textured cityscapes, landscapes and sensual nudes in his Extreme Impressionism style.

Easley lives in the Hudson Valley with his wife and two sons.
