Chris Murfitt

Artist’s Statement

 

I look intently at my surroundings and find inspiration in the beauty of clouds in the vast Alberta sky and in the natural landscapes of fields, grasses and water.  The texture and shapes of trees are fascinating to me.  I strive to capture the rich diversity of colour and texture in my work.  I treasure comments on my work that refer to the intensity of detail and how my work draws the viewer into the scene I have depicted.  I paint my landscapes in the style of photorealism and am constantly researching ways to hone my art to more closely resemble the images I create in my mind.  I am convinced that human beings have an inborn need to create, in the broadest sense of the word, and I feel very fortunate that I am blessed with the talent to demonstrate my creativity through my painting.
