WELCOME TO MY ART WEBSITE

I consider my paintings as a Collection, and have intended that they should be exhibited together, since I began painting 45 years ago. They were not painted to sell individually. The product of my work is the environment they create when exhibited as a whole. Therefore, I am planning a 45-Year Retrospective Show for next year, containing 155 Paintings and Drawings. The show is entitled, " Beauteous Contemplations - An Invitation to Journey". I hope you will be able to visit.

I INVITE YOU TO CONSIDER

MY PAINTING COLLECTION

MY NEW BOOK

"Beauteous Contemplations"

By Robert Bursik
Architect and Painter

I started my Painting Collection in 1976, and it currently has 155 Paintings and Drawings, in 8 specific Series.

My goal as an artist has been to learn, internalize, and become sensitive to the subjects and techniques in all aspects of painting.

Over the years that I have been painting, I have been interested in a number of genra, including Landscapes and Flowers, Classical Copies of Raphael, Titan, and others, Portraits and Life Studies, and my Opal Series, which are expressions of my Dreams and Meditations.

I have used a number of techniques, including oil, watercolor, pen & ink and charcoal.

In addition to the primary concept of Art, to inspire a sense of Beauty in the observer, my Collection also intends to explore the most profound activities of the Human Being : Beauty, Empathy, The Value and Capacity of the Human Mind, Perception, Physics, Fear and Anger, and other subtile facets of the Human Being. It is my hope that an observer of my Work will be lost to himself for a while, lost in Beauty, and Serenity, lost in the detail, lost in the subject, and in the moment.

Therefore, I believe that you will find the diversity, composition, and Concept of this Collection, to be interesting and unusual.

Included on my Art Website are photos of my 8 Painting Series, and "The Concept of the Collection".

Please view several Pages to ascertain the Scope of my Collection.

In my "Mural Landscape Series" is "The Cherry Blossom Festival",
a 10' x 7' highly detailed mural painting of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C.,
taking 6,000 hours to paint over a 12 year period, and containing over 3,000 detailed flowers.

There are 6 paintings in my Mural Landscape Series, from 5' to 10'.

It is my experience that when a Painting gets over 5', the viewer relates to it differently: it becomes more like an environment in which the viewer is immersed in the painting, part of the painting, rather that looking at it as a picture. However, as the size, and detail, of the painting increase, so too does the degree of difficulty go up geometrically, until eventually, even though the artist my have the vision and ability to paint the picture, the logisitcs make it nearly impossible.

Other Series include : "Cla...
