Beata Sasik | The secret gardens

Beata Sasik is an oil painter in New Orleans.

- "I like to think about myself as an expressionist even though my style of work probably best fall into the category of Contemporary Impressionism.

Well, whatever it may be you can definitely call me a Colorist.

When I paint I am taken by the transcendental vibrant color and the contrast of light and dark that are the reflection of emotion and energy of the creative process".

Charlie Chaplin | Live! / Vivi !

Ho perdonato errori quasi imperdonabili,

ho provato a sostituire persone insostituibili

e dimenticato persone indimenticabili.

Ho agito per impulso,

sono stato deluso dalle persone

che non pensavo lo potessero fare,

ma anch’io ho deluso.
