A wonderfully talented art buddy of mine, Tony Perez passed away yesterday due to a heart attack. His multi-layered art portraits were amazingly detailed and colorful works never failed to inspire. Tony’s passing was sudden and while his art will live on, his encouraging and sweet demeanor will be missed.

Here is a quote from his Flickr bio: “Everyone’s art is a reflection on their own personal experiences in life, the small things in life that seem to stand out as we make the journey. The way we view our surroundings and the times we live in. With such a mish mush of culture and commercialism it is easy to look to the past but always keeping an eye and your feet planted in the present.”

Art Inscription

“Art is born of human ingenuity and imagination. The beauty of art is a universally appreciated value which transcends humanity, religion, language and cultural boundaries. Art may not be easy to understand, but as we view and ponder its expression, it energizes and inspires us, magnifying our vision and enriching our lives.” (Found inscription at the Asian Art Museum building, SF)
