"Creating art evokes passion and a drive for excellence. I strive to make thought provoking work that offers a unique visual experience. This occurs when refined craftsmanship presents and elevates commonplace subject matter, transforming it into a new perspective. When I approach the creative process, I explore different avenues and techniques to enable both my calculating and intuitive faculties. This discovery process keeps me engaged with the work. Surprises unfold, and with them, new truths."
-- Allan Rodewald
Allan Rodewald pursues abstract art to push past the limits of the real world through his self expression and exploration. As a youth, Allan studied in rural southeast Michigan where he began private art lessons at the age of seven. "Even at a young age I could appreciate art and my parents nurtured my talent." Allan earned his BFA in drawing and painting at Siena Heights University and has studied art in Florence, Rome and Venice Italy.
