ABOUT THE ARTIST
MOSES PROVENCIO IS A ARIZONA NATIVE, BORN IN "OLD MORENCI" ARIZONA. A GRADUATE OF MESA HIGH SCHOOL, MOSES CONTINUED HIS ART STUDIES AT MESA COMMUNITY COLLEGE UNDER THE EXCELLENT GUIDANCE OF BILL VOSS, AND NED TUHEY. HE CONTINUED HIS STUDIES AT NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY.
MR. PROVENCIO SAYS HE GETS HIS INSPIRATION FROM JUST LOOKING AT PEOPLE'S CONTINENCE RADIATING FROM THEIR FACIAL FEATURES AND EXPRESSION. BY LOOKING AT A PERSONS FACE, HE CAN TELL IF THAT IS AN "OIL PAINTING FACE", A "WATERCOLOR FACE", A "PASTEL PAINTING FACE", ETC.
MOSES CONTINUES HIS STUDIES ON A CONTINOUS LIFE'S JOURNEY BASIS. "YOU CONTINUE TO PAINT AND LEARN UNTIL THE ARTHRITIS, AND ALZHEIMER'S SETS IN". HE SAYS LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING AND THAT IS CALLED "QUALITY OF LIFE".
BORN IN ARIZONA, NATUALLY ENABLED MOSES TO ADHERE TO THE HISTORY AND LOVE OF THE "OLD WEST". COWBOYS AND INDIANS IS WHAT HELPED MAKE ARIZONA YESTERDAY WHAT IT IS TODAY. MOSES SAYS HE FEELS HONORED TO BE A MULTI GENERATION DECENDANT OF THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY CULTURES AND ETHNIC BACK GROUND ARE REPRESENTED IN THE CREATION OF THE ROMANTIC TIME LINE OF OUR HISTORY'S PAST. MOSES ENJOYS PAINTING WHAT WAS AND WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. ONE MUST REMEMBER HISTORY HAS RECORDED CERTAIN EVENTS THAT EMERGED ONCE THE DUST CLEARED AND THE GUNSMOKE BLEW AWAY. ANY OTHER EVENTS WERE HERESAY, FABRICATED LIES OR EXAGERATED TRUTH. THE REST WERE TO THE IMAGINATION, AND THAT IS WHERE THE ARTIST TAKES OVER TO BRING TO YOU, THE VIEWER, AND EXPLOSIVE RE-ENACTMENT OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MOSES STRONGEST ARTISTIC CONVICTIONS LIE IN HIS DRAWING AND COMPOSITION STUDIES. ARIZONA IS RICH IN PANORAMIC LANDSCAPES AND MULTI CULTURE! TRULY A PAINTERS PARADISE. THIS WINTER MOSES WILL BE PAINTING IN THE "PLEIN AIRE". (OUTDOOR ON LOCATION PAINTING) STYLE.
LIFE IS A JOURNEY ENJOY THE TRIP
