The Artist

"My ultimate goal is to create art that evokes emotion and stirs the soul."
- Chris Artabasy
 

Artabasy's work is a mesmerizing exploration of movement, depth, and emotion through the medium of oil paint. His latest collection showcases a signature technique-layering beautifully thin veils of colorful oil paint to create a ribbon-like effect that suggests perpetual motion. The airbrushed backgrounds provide a soft, ethereal contrast, allowing the flowing forms to appear almost weightless, suspended in space.

 

Each painting captures a distinct spirit or mood, evoking a sense of energy, fluidity, and transformation. Deeply influenced by music and the surrounding environment, Artabasy's work channels atmospheric rhythms and natural elements into his compositions. The undulating forms echo the ebb and flow of sound waves, while the interplay of light and color reflects the shifting moods of nature. This fusion of auditory and visual inspiration results in paintings that feel both immersive and transcendent, inviting viewers to experience movement not just as a visual element, but as an emotional and sensory experience.

 
Graduating with a degree in Fine Art and Visual Communications from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, combined with over 20 years of experience in advertising, media, and design, Artabasy brings a wealth of creative expertise to his artistic practice. His artistic entrepreneurial ventures have undoubtedly influenced his approach to art, infusing his work with a sophisticated understanding of visual storytelling, composition, and design.
 
Artabasy continues to push artistic boundaries, transforming the canvas into a visual symphony of motion and emotion-an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the rhythm of color, form, and meaning.
