Jeff Quiros Artist

In browsing through some past work, I ran across this one from nearly three years ago. It jumped out at me and made me smile. Interestingly, I had named it “Harken” and it reached to me and got me to listen. I hope it says something to you too.

Back to the minimalist style I am so enamored with. This captures both beauty and personality so simply and makes a powerful statement.

My comment on the folly of war and the more general delusion of security in walling oneself off from the rest of humanity for self preservation. From a photograph of a WWII German soldier wearing protective gear.

A stark statement on the ongoing struggle between the spirit and the physical universe. We find our ways and that is life!

A minimalist line drawing of a woman in the mist. Muted tones emphasize the sense of mystification, yet there is a light shining from the eyes.

A celebratory splash of life in the surrounding darkness. We create the light, the joy, the life. It is an exhilarating realization.

Simple lines and forms conveying an attitude prevalent in my youth. I used to have a similar work in black and white hanging on my bedroom door in the 70’s. I stuck a fake mustache under the nose and it greeted me every time I entered the room.

Pure forms and lines in this classic Quiros style piece … one that would make a good foundation for a rock art poster. What do you think?

Current mood … constant striving, reaching for the stars … never give up on my hopes and dreams. It should be easier, but then I guess it wouldn’t be a game.

Another recent favorite … a man sneaking off somewhere, avoiding the conflict. The red lines pull the composition together and neither the foreground or the background would survive as well on its own.
