Laura Swytak at work...
Laura Swytak is a brave, talented young artist from USA who has the courage to paint / record life events as they happened. She paints everything from weddings to golf tournaments...
Once upon a time—before photographers and videographers—painters were hired to record events as they happened. That tradition is alive thanks to Laura Swytak (a 26-year-old MICA graduate) who uses Old World oil painting techniques to capture colorful nuances of life events on canvas..
She describes her style as a little bit Spanish (Diego Velázquez), a tad German (Adolf von Menzel) and a soupçon French (Edouard Manet). "I think there's something that you can get in a painting that you really can't get in a photograph or video," she says. "My paintings capture a duration of time. It's like a collage of all these different moments." (Baltimore magazine)
Bravo to Swytak!
