Eric Armusik

Eric Armusik, (b. 1973) paints classical figurative art reminiscent of the Old Masters. His paintings are a declaration to the dramatic power of representational art and a testimony to the tradition of epic storytelling. The origin of his inspiration does not lie in academia, but rather his childhood, surrounded by the vivid paintings he gazed upon in Gothic cathedrals as a child. Eric is never satisfied with just painting a well-rendered figure; he aspires to paint a profound moment, a glimpse into the tragic or sublime human experience that transcends culture, religion and time itself. If you're considering commissioning or purchasing an original piece of figurative art, you can seek out a myriad of academic painters that will satisfy your needs. If you desire a painting that transcends a mere figure and celebrates the beauty and depth of the human experience, you've come to the right website. Eric Armusik is passionate about painting complex, dramatic narratives that celebrate both the joy and sorrow of the human experience. His realist art resonates with the viewer on a visceral level by illuminating the universal struggles and triumphs of life's journey.
