Idea of Concentration

I don’t agree with the statement that quantity is better than quality but, there is a simple and prolific aspect to my art. I try to work with more the ideas that the piece causes than the technical skill. Hence a higher quantity. I do a lot of work in pencil but color is our friend. Anything I draw, I usually add an object that is painted or color penciled or glued. Usually this adds to the idea. Teacher tells me to look into some Persian artists. I did. They do some spiraling stuff on smaller planes. The guy Ostad Ali Asghar Tajvidi does good work. But I base my art more on Edward Hopper and Henri Matisse.
