Al Slavin

I am a Texas artist from San Antonio. I graduated from Clark High School and went to Texas A&M University where I earned a BS in landscape architecture. I am a predominantly self-taught painter, working primarily in oils. My intent is to communicate emotions, feelings, and wonderments to the people who view my paintings. Design, composition, texture, color and mostly light help convey things. Most of my paintings are pulled from my imagination and I’d like to make them look real. Painting to me is like magic, mystifying and fun and it’s wonderful when my work connects with people. Nature moves me; trees, skies, clouds, colors but especially the light! The light is what inspires me.
