The Art that Interests Me.

San Lorenzo River, Santa Cruz, California

Manuel Macarrulla

Oil on canvas, 1992

I'm interested in figures (human and animal), as well as landscapes, with or without figures, and still lifes. All media, subjects, scopes, and time periods interest me. I find much instruction in museums, as I do in nature. I have no prejudice against decorative arts or abstraction.  

Through my work I seek to express a broad spirituality. I like my figures to look as though they could move and think. I try to convey the massiveness of nature. Accuracy in drawing is a helpful tool, but that only takes you so far; I'll take "imaginative" over "accurate."
