Tina York's Paintings
Tina York began her professional life at age six, concertizing in Eastern Europe as a violinist child prodigy. Not content with the inherent limitations the performing arts afford, she wanted more, and one day found herself fascinated with color, design and especially, fine arts painting. She became a full time student in an art apprenticeship similar to those of the time of Ghirlandaio (Michelangelo’s teacher) that lasted eight intensive years, during which she exhibited widely, won several prizes and sold phenomenally. But this, too, was not enough for her insatiable hunger to know more. She went to college, pre-med, completed the required four years of studies in just two and a half, graduated with honors and continued her formal education in medical school. After three years there and five additional years of private studies in astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy, she had at last attained the knowledge that would give her the opportunity to do the work she felt compelled to do. Since then she has written two books, painted 36 impressive commissions, exhibited in different countries, was published, won more prizes and completed HYPERLINK "series.htm"several intellectually demanding series of paintings.
Working in her own styles, which she calls macro realism and abstract symbolism, she leaves her imagination free rein. Employing such techniques as double canvas, multilevel construction, sculptured line, etc., her mostly three-dimensional, vibrant, dynamic and dramatic paintings deal with a variety of subject matter and can be found in many important collections throughout the world.
