René Capone

Just me and my brush
I look at making art like telling stories. The greatest themes in life are explored through art. Love, hate, jealousy, fear, anger, passion. I believe an artist’s job is to tell these stories.

When one creates, the endless noise surrounding us gets worked through and for a time the world makes sense. After it is done, you have something that communicates.
