John Smolko

John has been a realist in one form or another since college.
His fascination with the visual world has never been abated
and he found himself overwhelmed with the variety of form and beauty ever present in the environment.
Early in his career he took the organic point of view for realism and drew objects entirely from his surroundings
and always of a personal nature.
Later he experimented with symbolism and started to explore the wonders of color through colored pencils.
