Damon Shareski

Damon Shareski (HBA, B.Ed : visual arts specialist) was born in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, but upon graduating from university with a teaching degree moved to Hong Kong where he spent four years and a year and a half in Brunei. He is currently a visual arts educator and multi-discipline artist living once again in Barrie, Ontario. He works in all media including oil, acrylic, watercolour, gouache, ink, graphite, pastel, conte, charcoal, and ceramics. His artwork ranges from realism to abstract expressionism.

“For me, successful art is a fine balance between chaos and order, between subject matter and intention. Sometimes there is an indefinable tension in a work of art and it is this tension that creates something special. Quantum mechanics tells us that the reality of the material world is an illusion. There is really only energy and information and our perception of what we think we understand. Art is also an illusion, but the source or inspiration of creativity often comes from outside ourselves, from a place of profound and still beauty which is really just another word for god.”

The artwork ranges from realism to abstract expressionism. Commissions are available by appointment. Please email for availability and pricing of artworks.
