From Artist Riki Nelson:
" I am the quintessential perfectionist when it comes to my own work. I gain new insight into the painting process with each piece I create, becoming ever more enamored of creating increasingly more sophisticated and expressive paintings, and of becoming a master visual artist."

"If life is art, then art is indeed my life..."

"Every painting I create is unique, even in studying the same subject or view, no two pieces are exactly alike, and all of my compositions are my own original creations."

"Each painting is painstakingly created to be a true work of art, the original impetus for each piece coming from a place of pure inspiration and creativity. A piece may take days, weeks, or even months to complete, but the finished creation is intended to have a life and a unique spirit all it's own...."

"When not painting, I visit galleries, and museums, and pour endlessly over my own personal library of art books, learning and appreciating the works of both modern and classical master oil painters."

"I truly love visual art, in all it's form, and am a collector of contemporary and turn of the century art."

"There are so many painters I am influenced by and admire, I cannot give a single favorite, but the short list would be - Odd Nerdstrom, Lucien Freud, Richard Diebenkorn, Edgar Payne, Winslow Homer, Wayne Thiebaud, and others."

"My favorite poets, are T.S. Elliot, and W.B. Yeats".

The Riki-Arts online art gallery showcases a cross-section of available oil paintings.
