Max Hayslette
Max Hayslette's love of travel is second only to his love of art, and his works have been influenced in various ways by the far corners of the world he has visited.
"Every image begins in my head," says Max Hayslette. "The combination of a long dance between memory and imagination. Memory colored by imagination is the root from which my images grow. As is my practice in all of my paintings, I choose a subject - sometimes more than one - study it or them well, and then mentally disassemble the parts, mixing and reassembling them into a new image with a new spirit, which is my own."
Max Hayslette considers himself a romantic artist, one who seeks to give his works a warm and gentle spiritual quality. For him, the essence and spirituality of his subject are more important than detail, and he finds that he can grasp this spiritual essence more completely when his subject is illumined by the dawn twilight, halfway between light and dark. The viewer of Max Hayslette's work will witness a symphony of color and light, and their soul will be naturally and effortlessly won over by a quiet triumph of beauty.
