THE STORY:
The original TURTLE WITH AN ELEPHANT was a small drawing I made back in 2003. I finally turned it into a painting in 2012 at my studio in Tribeca, NYC. The paintings sold in 2013. I am really excited to finally be able to offer this as a hand painted work on paper.

HISTORY:
I have been painting full-time for 15 years and for a long time people used to ask me for prints of my original works on canvas. I wanted to offer multiple, smaller images of these works but not necessarily as a print, mainly because I felt that an image reproduced using machine technology would perhaps lack the individual and personal character found within the original.. But then I met James Rosenquist who opened my eyes to Arches Paper and I thought, ‘Why not hand paint each one?’ I love doing the work and everyone deserves an original painting.
Most of the works on paper are directly based on an already sold Jason Oliva work on canvas. As a means of remaining true to the original, I not only hand paint each work on paper but I also use the same paints as those used in the original work on canvas, in order to capture the same vibrancy in color. Each work on paper is therefore as close to the original as possible and because each work is hand painted, not one work is the same. With this in mind, owning a limited edition work on paper is very similar in spirit to owning an original work on canvas.
