Artist ArtistStatement Statement As a painter and digital designer, my artistic work has an important place in today’s art world by merging both traditional and digital artwork in one cohesive style. My work is inspired by Alan Fletcher, Herbert Bayer, Max Miedinger, Irina Furman, Paul Cezanne, and Wayne Thiebaud. The two media styles I chose to work in are oil painting and digital artist. I like to paint realistic still life paintings such as “Fruits,” “Creamer & Bottles,” “Cakes,” and “Wine Glass & Flowers”. Each painting canvas that I make measures between 16″ x 20″ to 20″ x 20″. I use oil paints along with digital designs to create my artwork. While working in digital media, I use my DSLR Canon camera to take various photographs. My favorite photo images are animals, landscapes including trees, mountains, and even images of Las Vegas including my “A Pathway of Lights” photograph. I upload my images to the computer and use the special programs of Adobe Photoshop to touch up the photos. Next, I transfer them to Adobe InDesign to use them for bookmarks, postcards, and posters such as “NaviGuide”. For my posters, I use Adobe Photoshop brushes, and typography to create them like my “Expose Exhibition” and “Wishes”

Artist ArtistReview Review avid Fleshman is a multi-disciplinary artist who creates colorful abstract and figurative works employing painting and digital design. His works are inspired by master artists like Paul Cezanne and Wayne Thiebaud and graphic designer Alan Fletcher. Fleshman successfully merges traditional and technical practices to develop a unique, cohesive style. He prefers the use of oils on canvas and digital photography for his twodimensional works and aluminum casting and mixed media for his sculptures. His paintings explore the notion of connection and his relationship with his surroundings. Animals, landscapes, cityscapes, and inanimate objects take center stage in his lively canvases showcasing a realistic style like “Creamer & Bottles” and “Cakes.” When working on digital media, he uses a DSLR Canon camera to capture his images and then manipulates the photographs until obtaining the desired result to produce mesmerizing digital imagery. His digital paintings showcase an abstract style that explores the notion of energy and light, like in “A Pathway of Lights.” His prolific talent also excels with his creative sculptures, where he focuses on showcasing animals like in “Owl Sitting on Metal Box” and “Alligator on Wooden Base.” Committed to giving his best, David Fleshman skillfully translates complex emotions into vibrant, dynamic, visual language. As his own emotions get entrenched in his creative process, his style develops and continues offering new views of the world we see. Viviana Puello Editor-n-Chief-ArtTour International Magazine
