Luminous Antonio

I approach my art the same way I approach my life. I keep an open mind, put one foot in front of the other, and allow the process to unfold. The blank canvas offers unlimited possibilities and potential which I mine to the fullest. I have always loved the many levels/layers of experience in life and in painting and exposing as much of that as I can.
