Artist Statement : My art weaves together elements of fantasy, reality, and the subconscious mind seeking to create a visual language that reflects richness and complexity. I enjoy using multiple mediums from painting to drawing to video to writing. I’m passionate about art as a powerful language for telling stories and communicating ideas and emotions.
I seek to explore questions and topics that interest me, from the meaning of dreams to how we (as humans) treat farm animals to the existence (or lack thereof) of free will. I am drawn to the interplay between illusion and reality, and how our perception of the world shapes our experience of it. My art is an exploration of the world of the unconscious, the emotional, the intellectual, and the whimsical.
Im interested in illustrations like the unsettling ones of Dave McKean and the fanciful ones of Ida Outhwaite. I love the materiality of paintings by expressionists like Chaïm Soutine and the dream-like quality of surrealists like Marc Chagall. In my art, I seek to create a sense of magic and mystery, using intuitive and spontaneous brush strokes, vivid colors, and eternal archetypes and symbolism to transport the viewer to a world that is both familiar and strange.
As a freelance visual storyteller, I have refined my artistic skills through a wide array of projects, with a primary focus on private commissions and personal creative ventures. Utilizing intricate illustrations and compelling narratives, I have crafted captivating visuals that resonate with audiences across diverse genres and platforms.
Collaborated closely with clients to grasp their ideas, translating them into captivating visual narratives that surpassed their expectations.
Cultivated a reputation for translating abstract concepts into vibrant and imaginative artworks, leading to an increasing number of client referrals.
Managed all phases of project lifecycles, spanning initial concept sketches and storyboarding through to final illustrations, employing a diverse range of traditional and digital techniques.
Successfully conceived, illustrated, and produced a short video titled 'The Angel Family.'

Crafted a captivating book cover illustration for "Witnessing a Century," a compilation of stories centered around family history.
Produced lifelike and evocative portrait commissions, capturing the essence of individuals in various stages of life. These portraits not only convey physical resemblance but also convey the subjects' personality and emotions.
Through my journey as a freelance artist, I've learned to harmonize artistic integrity with client expectations, resulting in a portfolio boasting a diverse array of creations. This experience has not only elevated my artistic prowess but also fostered connections with individuals from all walks of life, infusing novel perspectives into my creative process.To explore more examples of my work, I invite you to visit my website at rosasilberztein.com.
