D Rogale - Fine Artist
Member Since: 11/18/2010
Since I started painting two years ago, I have been hearing people say that it takes every artist a little time to ‘find their voice’. While that made sense to me, I still didn’t know what they were really talking about. However, I now can confidently say that I have found my voice within my art, and now that I have, so many other occurrences on this journey make sense to me now, where they did not before.
My art and the techniques that produce it were created in a vacuum. By that I mean very little, if any, outside influences sculpted them or me. I did read a couple of books, but attended no classes or workshops. I simply stocked up on materials and started painting…A LOT. Because of that, my style with pastel paints is very unique and different, and that’s OK with me. I’m sure that style is still evolving, as I hope it will until I am no longer painting. I value experiencing this journey of discovery I am on as much or more than my eventual goal; being recognized as a master in my craft one day. While that day may yet be a ways off, I still have something to say through my work as I grow, and hope to add value to the lives of those who see it.
That leads me to my voice. I have finally come to understand the voice that whispers inspiration for each piece of my work; sometimes in a series, and sometimes as an individual piece of art. Regardless, most pieces carry a specific message and are destined for a person facing a specific situation in life. While I wouldn’t want to discourage you from buying a piece of my work just because you like the way it looks, I would much rather have you find one that carries a message that resonates with you at this particular point of your journey. If you can’t find it in my collection, then I will make one for you personally.
To me, art is like a beautiful woman that holds a doctorate; so much more than just a pretty face(sup mama). It’s something that adorns your inner sanctum; your home. It’s something you walk by 20-30 times per day, if not more, and while you may think you don’t notice it hanging there all of the time, your sub-conscious mind misses nothing. Now, if the message attached to the piece of art affirms you, encourages you, and reminds you of your greatness and destiny, or a very important value or goal, that piece of art now becomes priceless and an irreplaceable advocate for your continued happiness and personal growth; all while silently and beautifully hanging on your wall.
That is what Art 4 Life is all about, and I can proudly state that is what D. Rogale was born to do. Please enjoy looking at the work presented here. A lot of time, effort, and creativity went into the creation of each and every piece. However, do not forget to read the description, where you will learn about the message that came with the inspiration for the image, and whether or not it speaks to you. If you have any questions or special requests, please e-mail me and I will respond promptly with whatever help I can offer. Thanks for taking the time to visit today, and I hope to hear from you soon! D~
