Original artwork description:

This oil painting is a tribute to Aroma Cappuccino Cafe, a friendly and popular neighborhood hangout just east of Studio City in the San Fernando Valley, California. Aroma hosts parties, reunions, all varieties of get-togethers and meet-ups; plus individuals reading and computing. I’ve spend countless hours there—it’s one of my favorite coffeehouses.

Greater LA provides endless inspiration for my oil paintings. I constantly challenge myself to observe my surroundings with fresh eyes and in a new light: neighborhoods, business districts, rush hours, parks, people, skies, landscapes—everything that makes LA unique. My artistic language is expressed through intense color, deep contrast and broad brushstrokes. I paint in many layers, always trying to invent new colors. Through my paintings, I express wonder in the constantly changing world—rich in vibrant color, life and beauty.

The front image of the painting extends around the sides of the deep-edge, gallery-wrapped canvas. “Aroma Cappuccino Cafe” is ready to hang—no framing necessary.

All of my paintings are professionally packaged, fully insured to the value of the artwork, and sent via a tracked courier.
