Frida Kahlo |  |
 |
 |
It's Frida's earnest desire to share her pain and her struggle that have inspired me to make courageous paintings of my deepest feelings.

Vincent Van Gogh | 
|
 |
From VanGogh's paintings, I got the courage to play with line and texture in my work.

Henri Matisse |  |
 |
I learned that it's okay to loosen up,
not worry about the
perfection of realism, and boost the color and pattern.

Paul Gaughin |  |
Gaughin's work inspires me to have rich compositions, with many
details,
and with an emphasis on the human form.
I believe he is a master in the area of figure painting.
And the lovely part with him, is that the human form can be
beautiful larger,
without the emaciated look of modern culture.

Claude Monet |  |
From Monet's paintings, I am inspired to have a complex
composition,
let the brush or line detail show, and layer the color to give a
delicate, polished image.
