Secrets of A Modern Painter: New Book From Artist Gabriel Boray

Discover how to develop your unique and authentic voice...

Secrets of Powerful Painting, Book 1 will unlock your artistic potential...

Are you struggling with bringing your ideas, composition, value, and color together? Asking yourself why your paintings are just not what you want them to be?

"Let paint be paint - the layers become real, the
objects become substance, and substance becomes
symbol."

You will find close-up high resolution images and specific insights into the creation of a variety of paintings, from concept to execution to guide you through the process of creating your most powerful paintings to date.

Not another step-by-step book, this is not about teaching you to paint like me, it's about sharing what I have learned so as to help you tap into your authentic artistic voice and express yourself more fully and clearly.

Learn to stay focused on the deeper and more sublime content of your work and avoid being stuck in only the basic surface and image components.

Some of the concepts touched upon include:

-Trapping light within color

- Expansion and exaggeration

- Emphasizing motion

"Think of your paintings as a series of events
unfolding on the canvas over time, rather than
a singular static image."
