Joseph zbukvic biography

I have visited museums in the past and decided to stop — hence my style is totally self induced and original for that reason. If you could host a dinner party and invite all of your heroes alive or passed , who would you invite? Maybe Leonardo da Vinci? He truly was amazing and original. I wake up thinking painting and go to sleep doing the same..

True beginnings are in our dreams… The physical painting process is simply a result of that dream. Do you listen to music as you paint? If so, what songs make up your playlist? Yes always — very eclectic. From Elvis to Pavarotti, from gypsy ballads to Hank Williams etc. Folk, classic, jazz, soul, country… you name it. I always find this a strange question as art is omnipresent.

However, I own a classic sports car, Triumph TR3 see below. I sometimes take it for endless drives through our wonderful countryside. A huge thank you to Joseph Zbukvic for sending us some images and taking the time to answer our questions!
