Biography: Cedric Colond

Cedric Colond Artist Statement

"A love of nature and inner spirituality has been an ongoing inspiration for my artwork. Each painting captures the essence of the subject, balancing exquisite detail and a focus on light. Based upon realism yet drawing upon a luminscent dream-like quality, it is a truly original interpretation of the natural world. The wildlife studies have explored expressive animal gestures in their natural habitats. I am hoping to raise awareness of the beauty and fragility of the earth and build support towards ensuring its survival for future generations"
