I first discovered my passion for him when I came upon his work on the cover of a book I was reading called “The Kiss”. It was so passionate..so bright & warm to look at it. His gold leaf period of art remains my favorite, although it is hard for me to choose just one painting that I love more. His art moves me and gives me inspiration on days I need beauty in it. He will always stand out in the art world & continue to be a love of mine.

“I have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women…There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night…Who ever wants to know something about me… ought to look carefully at my pictures.”- Gustav Kilmt
