Micheal Zarowsky (www.zarowsky.net) Canadian painter, working in watercolour, acrylic and pastels. Member CSPWC Combined Hons.Degree in Philosophy and Psychology, York University, Toronto, 76 Fervent Adlibber.
Micheal Zarowsky seems to have a line of vision that is altogether novel and intriguing. He sees some fragment of a far larger landscape and he takes this element, turns it a little, plays with the colours, and creates a painting that is highly appealing blend of Impressionism and realism. The effect is startling because it is extraordinarily evocative of an Ontario landscape. We have seen all this intricate microcosm a thousand times, but it may never have occurred to us how much it is an essential part of the more familiar whole. This artist has an uncanny ability to isolate the essence of a landscape, and then illuminate the small part of the whole, which becomes the very symbol of that which it represents. That, of course, is what abstraction is all about; but the genius of Micheal Zarowsky is that he presents the effect of abstraction while he is actually painting in a realistic way some isolated element that signifies, with utmost economy, the wider scene." Ian Andrew Malcolm.

  • Hi Michael, I found, by accident that you can play two YouTube videos at once. I love Peo Kindgren's Guitar videos. And I had one playing and then went to your video and started that one. I turned the volume off on your video and enjoyed both his music and your wonderful watercolors!

  • I love your watercolors! I so enjoy watching the video's but I am not as fond of the music. I usually turn that off so that I can concentrate on the beauty of your art.

  • Beautiful .... absolutely beautiful !!!!

    Especially expressing water is amazing !!!
