 the focus, is a fresh original dialogue on the Canadian landscape, where the emphasis is on the process of discovery: that is, the creative interpretation of some aspect of the world – being coupled with a second process; namely, that of inventiveness – the personal expression of what is discovered.   

Painting is a spiritual process connecting me to the world. 

Canadian painter working in acrylic, watercolour & pastels; one of the few artists who has developed a truly distinctive way of seeing & conveying the world's beauty. Zarowsky’s work pushes towards abstraction and it exudes a textural quality; His landscapes capture the dazzle of light as no other painter can. Many of his watercolours are on paper but others are painted with watercolour on gessoed birch panels, 

Painting is a spiritual process connecting me to the world.                                            

  I paint light, atmosphere, the transparency of water. The joy is none of these  can be painted directly. One can only paint the effects of light by way of the different values / intensities where there is no light appearing as shadows. I explore water through the very reflections that outline its movement. The reflected sky above reaching down, the bottom sand, rocks and grasses all reaching up towards the surface, the changing colours of the forest edges trying to define, shape and contain it. I end up painting everything but the very thing I seek to paint.
