Lionel Lofton

Lofton states "art is a part of living - a universal language.
It is life itself - both visual and emotional.
The power to create and express myself gives me great pride, strength and joy.
My cultural background serves as an inspiration of my work.
I aspire to reach greater heights in my works as I take my works of realism to another level".

"Lionel Lofton is best known for his colorful abstract paintings though he also frequently works in printmaking and mixed media, combining acrylics, watercolor and color pencil. His imagery often refers to concepts of inner strength, beauty, and spirituality. He was greatly influenced by John Biggers under whom he studied early in his development as an artist". (Amalia K. Amaki, 2004)
