PENNSYLVANIA---Epic-sized paintings that portray moments of human experience appear as dramatic scenes in the style of 17th century master Caravaggio. For nearly two decades, Berks County artist Eric Armusik has been perfecting this technique, which translates into an emotional dialogue that "transcends culture, religion and time, itself." Armusik, 38, is an internationally-recognized artist who works from his Hamburg studio. His work reflects a mixture of traditional subjects – religious, mythical and historical. Armusik refers to himself as "a romantic artist" who fuses life experiences with art history. [link]
