I have had three masters, Nature, Velazquez, and Rembrandt. ♦ Francisco de Goya

Francisco de Goya, one of the most celebrated painters in art history, distinguished his path by absorbing lessons from three profound entities: Nature, Velazquez, and Rembrandt. Drawing inspiration from the world around him, Goya acknowledged Nature as an omnipotent tutor. With every stroke and hue, artists, like Goya, mirror the intricacies of the world around them, making Nature an irreplaceable mentor for all of us.

Goya's admiration for Velazquez and Rembrandt goes beyond mere appreciation; they defined the foundational elements of his artistry. Velazquez, with his unparalleled techniques and distinctive Spanish charm, and Rembrandt, with his mastery of chiaroscuro and introspection, influenced Goya's evolution. For artists, our predecessors not only set standards but also offer guidance. Their works act as timeless beacons, inspiring us to push boundaries and redefine norms in our own unique ways. In celebrating his masters, Goya beautifully encapsulates the essence of learning: to observe, assimilate, and innovate.

Thus, while every artist carves a unique trajectory in their art career, it's the influence of mentors, both tangible and intangible, that shapes our perceptions and techniques. By understanding and cherishing these influences, we become part of a continuum, weaving past teachings into future innovations, ensuring that art remains forever young and transformative.
