War and Peace

 
 

Gary Hostallero

 
 
Gary Hostallero's mastery of his media is simply unmatched. Combining pen and ink, watercolors, acrylics, and air brushing using fine particles of gold mica, Gary has created an innovative compositional style that truly stands alone in today's art world.  Spectacular colors and breathtaking detail are among the hallmarks of Hostallero's painting. So exacting and intricate are his techniques that each image requires more than 800 hours to complete.
   Multi media printing techniques are combined to create state of the art mixed media graphics unlike any others in the world today: Lithography, sculptural embossing, debossing, mezzotint and metal foil stamping combine to recreate the drama of his spectacular original paintings.
   Using his own blend of mica particles which produce a breathtaking iridescent quality and allow the artist to create subtle changes in mood and color, he creates stunning works of art that both look and feel like the original.
Musashi traveled throughout Japan for many years seeking enlightenment via his dedication to Bushido, the way of the warrior.  Through his many exploits, countless number of challenges and duels, Musashi developed his own unique style of fighting utilizing both the long and short swords simultaniously.  He became the most legendary Samurai of all time!

Otsu, Musashi's sweetheart dedicated herself vowing not to cut her hair and to wait for her true love's return.  After waiting patiently for many years she decided to set out on a quest of her own.  Accompanied only by the harmonious melody of her flute, she sets out on an adventurous journey to find her beloved.  Otsu's path finally leads her to a joyful reunion between the two lovers.

Miyamoto Musashi and his beloved Otsu-Chan
