Still Life with EquinopsisRoberto Azank is a painter with a unique and unforgettable style. His renderings of common objects such as flowers, fruits and vessels, set against backgrounds of bold color planes, demonstrate superb draftsmanship and a great eye for detail. He  creates portraits of non-living objects that are seemingly transformed to another level of reality.

Now at mid-career, Roberto describes himself as a metaclassical artist whose interests lie in the abstract qualities of realism as opposed to the photographic copying of nature. With this extraordinary style, the artist has returned the long, historic tradition of realistic painting to its rightful place in contemporary art.

Represented by the Eleonore Austerer Gallery for many years, he is one of their most popular and successful artists. The gallery’s currently featured contemporary exhibit, Objects of Desire,  features works by Roberto Azank and sculptor Brian Russell.
