"The process of making a strong piece of art is an inspiration. I love making art. The fun is in the doing." -Brian Davis

Before he begins his artistic journey on canvas, Brian combs the fields and gardens of California for a flower or scene that catches his eye. He carries a camera everywhere so he can shoot a subject at any moment. Brian believes that the depth in his art is derived from paying attention to the subtle shifts in value - relative dark and light. He is often asked if there is a light source behind his paintings. "The light is the real subject of my work. The flower is the state, the light is the dancer." Brian works daily in his studio surrounded by books, music, and historical videos. "My art, like all art, is at its core a form of communication that is not easily translated into words - good art transcends words." It is his hope that viewers look at his works and respond, for then they are hearing his voice, understanding his concept of what is worth creating. His paintings are a fascinating group of images that allow the viewer to feel and recognize the nature of light - the essence of a Brian Davis painting.
