B. 1946 - The impressionistic oil, watercolor, and acrylic paintings of E. Peter Darvas combine a wonderful versatility with brilliant expressiveness and flawless technical quality. Utilizing bold, spontaneous strokes with a mastery of color, light and texture, his canvases are alive with reality and expression yet never feel belabored or meticulous. “Patrons are particularly drawn to my heavy oil textures which reach out and off the canvas toward the viewer,” explained the artist.
