About James Richard Trujillo USN, (RET.) - Artist/Painter

​

Artist Bio:

James Richard Trujillo is an American, award winning, self-taught, emerging contemporary artist currently living and working in Pennsylvania. He was born November of 1981 in Philadelphia, PA to William and Catherine Trujillo. James greatly enjoys and exclusively uses the acrylic medium and is passionate about combining it with various sized papers and stretched canvases. The main subject or idea of James's work is based on or around a tree, given to him as a young child by his grandfather, which is included in each and every painting. However, the way he sees, paints and interprets them are unique, creative, original and unusual. He is a retired Navy veteran, proud father of two small boys, runner and active member of his community who somehow finds the time for his art. His vision for art, what art is, what art should be and how art is done are extremely important characteristics that factor into his work. He usually finds that between running, traveling and parenting there's a space for painting but he won't bother unless the passion, desire and motivation to create something special for the world exists and is extremely prevalent

Artist Stamement:

I believe that my motivation to paint and the subject I have chosen come from the depths of my mind along with the experiences I've had, the life I've lived (and the currently live) combined with the ability to intergrate and utilize the moods (good and bad) and emotions ive been in or felt as the main contributing factors for the art I create, will create and have created.

Thoughts: 

Besides my love for collecting, seeing and observing art in the real world, I love what i am currently doing and everything that goes along with it. I am the sole originator, creator and brains behind this never before seen work and currently I hold the copyrights for all the content. I feel truly blessed by what I have accomplished, the Artists i've met and the fan base i've collected. As I take time and reflect, I am humbled by everything that has gone right. Thank you, visitor for taking the time and showing an interest in me.
