Robert Venosa studied painting technique with Mati Klarwein in New York, and
Ernst Fuchs in Vienna, both of whom are proponents of the Misch Technique (also
known as the Master's Technique) discovered by the seventeenth-century Flemish
masters Hubert and Jan Van Eyck, which utilizes the system of painting in
tempera and oil glazes.
This technique is perfect for painting the crystalline worlds that Venosa
envisions: Light goes through the surface oil glazes, bounces off the white
tempera underpainting and comes back out hitting the eye with the illusion of
transparent depth.
As with most artists, Venosa took elements of what Fuchs and Klarwein taught
and added his own personal touch to arrive at a style - ever evolving - the
uniqueness of which is evident in the following catalog of his work.
