My Artistic Influence: Heneri Matisse


My artistic expression is influenced by the work of Heneri Matisse. My grandma and my cousins Nicole and Stacy influenced by appreciation for art. I cannot remind when exactly, but I remember when I was young attending an art show celebrating the work of Mattise’s. I remember going by the Blue Nude 2 picture, and being instantly compelled by the image. I was so fascinated by his use of stencil art (something that he started in 1948 before his death in 1954. As a young child, I wanted to be an artist in the worst, but I could not draw or paint for the life of me. I was so disappointed that I had given up hope on being an artist until that day. Since then cut out art has become my form of artistic expression. My pictures of representing the Metis people are all done by cut out.

I would like to see some of those cut out pictures of yours. I'm glad that you found a medium and a style that suited you.
