About Theo
I am a self-taught artist using oil paints as my preferred medium. During many years of experimenting with oils, I can now teach what I have learned. In my early 20s, I spent many hours in the University of Auckland library, where I discovered translated copies of old books on the techniques of the early painters. Although I was not a student, I had access to the art library. The artists who inspired me the most were Vermeer, Caravaggio, Ingres, Jacques-Louis David, Bouguereau, Leighton, Draper, Poynter, Dali, and Annigoni, to name a few. Art books that have significantly impacted me include Artist's Techniques in Golden Age Spain: Six Treatises in Translation, 50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship by Dali. Stylistically, my most significant influence is Salvador Dali - not because of his surrealism but because of, within his best paintings, the radiant clarity his style projects. My oil paintings and giclée prints are now owned and enjoyed by private art collectors internationally.
