"There's really no philosophy about my work other than to capture a moment in time; the intimacy of light and the manner in which it strikes and gives life to inanimate surfaces. The serenity of light whether it is a quiet morning light or the solitude of an afternoon has always interested me. Having been influenced by the exhaustive detail of Japanese illustrators. Other influences in my art include works of Maxwell Parish an artist and amazing sculptor Richard MacDonald, whom I've had the privilege of working with for a brief time when I was in college. Both grounded me in the way I think about art. My background as an illustrator, creative director and designer has been fulfilling but not as much as the connection that a pencil, chalk or a brush does when it touches a surface."A graduate of The Atlanta College of Art, Tom Gonzalez was born in Havana, Cuba and moved with his family at the age of 10 to Atlanta where he still lives. Tom turned his attention to still life themes with drawings and paintings for his own enjoyment about four years ago while working as a commercial illustrator for local and national clients.
ARCHIVAL PRINTS
The inks and fine art papers used to create your archival prints have the ability to retain current color fastness for about 75-100 years under normal lighting situations, according to the supplier.As with any work of art including original paintings and most media, harsh light, heat and dampness always affect the longevity of any substrate. In order to maximize the life of your print, there are certain actions that should be taken. If possible, avoid placing artwork in rooms that contain substantial fluorescent lighting or against direct sunlight. Both of these sources of light are major contributors of ultraviolet rays.Avoid hanging your print over a heat source such as a floor register or radiator. Do not allow your print to come in contact with glass since this could cause condensation and affect the life of the print. Acid-free matting is always recommended.
Each archival print will be sent with a hand signed, artist's verification. Artist retains all copyrights of the images unless reproduction rights have been purchased for a agreed-upon use or specific use.Artist retains all copyrights of all images.
