James Arzente
Painter and Digital Artist,
Brookline, MA.

My job profile:
I have been painting full time for the last 9 years, and started working digitally about 2 years ago. My studio is in my home where I think and work. I am married and have a daughter who is always a source of inspiration.
 

My favorite color:
I really don't have one; each color has its individual personality and sound.

Venice and Anguilla - for the light, natural & inspired beauty and lifestyles.

My idea of spending free time:
Don't have much, spend it with my family.

Not a cartoon person.

My favorite artists and people who inspire me:
Delicroix, Cezanne, Matisse, Enzo Cucchi, of course Picasso and Rauschenberg.

My type of music:
Neil Young and whoever inspires me to work. I will listen to the same song for days on end to keep my head where it needs to be.

Some useful tips:
Work, take your inspiration where you can and think carefully of what you want to say.

My ambitions for the future:
Leave Boston and move to Italy and live happily ever after.

My message to the art community:
The world needs much work and art has a role in that work. Just keep working, learning and don't look back.
