Martin Figlinski (b. 1970) lives in Panama City, Florida
with his wife and two children.
He
was born and raised in Florida, where he finds much inspiration
in the surroundings he grew up with. He paints on location,
from life, as much as possible as he deems this necessary to capture
the overall feel of his subjects. “While painting on location,
I'm experiencing the scene in front of me. Beyond the actual subject,
the weather and atmosphere play a role in the mood of the finished
piece.”
Often,
these plein air pieces are used as reference for
works done later in the studio.
Figlinski’s
latest project is “Daily Painting,” where he produces one
small original oil each day and posts it on the blog
site www.martinfiglinski.blogspot.com
where it can be purchased, giving collectors a fun new
way to collect his work with a minimal investment.
Figlinski works exclusively in oil and is a member of the
Oil Painters of America (OPA) and a signature member of
Plein Air Florida.
