Summer Camp (2005) Painting by Don Maestro

''Don Maestro's works bring us to the edge of imagination, and when we reach this edge, we become seduced by a world full of emotions and sensations.''

''The transparence and hues of his subjects, the delicate blending nuances, the subtelty of the lines suggesting us to discover what is beyond the painting, all indispensable to the integrity of his art.''

''Born Claude Charles Houde, in Montréal (Québec, Canada) in 1958, he graduated from Collège André Grasset. Already, in 1975, he let go of previous influences and created his own personal style, using his medium of choice: acrylic.''

''Don Maestro uses a lot of spontaneity in his work which lets him release his inner self. He works his special technique into his artworks to give them texture, mixed with the vibrancy of colors to achieve the illusion: between dream and reality.''

''He's always searching for new inspiration. His love of nature will bring him renewed images which he compiles. He doesn't reproduce them, he displaces them in space and re-arranges the subject. He works with light and contrasts.''

''Don Maestro, known for his unique technique is also known to work with primary colors. He works them together to achieve the uniqueness of his works.''

''His works are appreciated and collected for both, the visual pleasure and the comforting of the soul.''
