Maurice Sapiro

‘Painting, like life, is a journey.  And, as with any journey, it’s the people you meet along the way who leave the most lasting impressions. In my 60 year journey as a painter, I have been fortunate.  The dealers, patrons, and friends I have met have been the best.’

Maurice Sapiro paints landscapes, still lives, and dreamscapes. He captures the ethereal, spiritual, magical tones, light and mood of nature. Still life evoke a sense of both mystery and beauty in their hints at abstraction, and occasionally Sapiro takes on the human figure with an eye for the exotic and arresting character.  He has published articles and books on clay form modelling methods, built his own harpsichord, taught himself a high level of colour photography and did his own colour processing. 

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Saatchi Showdown: Painted Faces in December 2013.
