Lynne Meneses Fine Art
Artist Statement
Color is the fundamental essence of my paintings. I was inspired by the Blue Rider artists and Henri Matisse; their bright colors express awe of human life intersecting in the natural world. By incorporating vibrant colors alongside bold, simplified imagery, I aim to infuse my work with energy and movement, offering unique interpretations of the world around us.
Biography
I was born in Beijing and developed a passion for art at an early age. I learned essential drawing and oil painting skills at a private school during my teenage years. In 1983, I came to the United States. I attended the Art School of New York City College, where I studied Modern Art under the guidance of the established artist Professor Madeleine Gekiere (1919-2014). I graduated with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in 1986. My work has been shown in multiple Long Island New York galleries.
