The Impressionistic Fine Art of Lowell Hayenga
~ABOUT THE ARTIST~
DeArtizt Hayenga (Lowell Hayenga) is an American fine artist located on the western slope near Grand Junction, Colorado. He's a modern impressionist who uses traditional oils and his works consist of colorful, moody landscapes, unique still life's and an occasional portrait. Primarily self-taught, his style, technique, and look are unmistakably his own and carry with it a visual signature rarely confused with other contemporary artists of the era.
Heavily influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists of the 19th century as a child, he not only marveled at the colors they used, but how they used them. Other influences were surrealists like Dali and Magritte, the tonalists and M.C Esher's drawings. The unique, personal style that emerged embodies a bold use of saturated color and carefully selected color schemes while utilizing light, shadow, texture and contrast to create powerful visions of intense beauty, mood and emotion. He's also a multi-disciplinary artist who's into music, screenwriting and filmmaking.

~ARTIST STATEMENT~
I'm a modern impressionist and tonalist who uses bold color, light, shadow and contrast to invite the viewer into my world. Traditional oil paints are my medium but I have been forced to use acrylics in the past which is evident in my gallery of work. Color, beauty and emotion are the only statements I strive to make in my work.
I call myself a "modern impressionist" but I really wouldn't know what one might use to describe my style. I've taken many courses, read many books/periodicals and studied many artists in my 60+ years and I've learned countless techniques and methods over that time. Rather than focusing on one in particular, I chose to take all the little bits and pieces of those countless methods and techniques and blend them together to create my own artistic process. Over the years, this practice shaped itself into a personal style that eventually became the recognizable visual signature of my work today.
