Shown at left is a 12x16 oi painting now available, entitled Eve At Le Petit Zinc by American artist Mizerek. At eright is Cafe Bonaparte. Known for his colorful, luminous seascapes and expressive brushwork, Mizerek paints on site, deriving inspiration from coastal locations as well as harbors throughout the world. A central theme throughout Mizerek’s work is his use of light. In Mizerek’s words, “Light alters the color of all objects and touches those nearby. It sets a mood and evokes emotion, which I strive to portray in my work. I often explore various methods to interpret the way I view nature. I prefer marine subjects because I enjoy the way water reflects the floating objects, as well as the sky and time of day. It mirrors shapes and intensifies light. I paint outdoors to capture the light first hand and bring out all its color and luminosity.” In 2016, one of Mizerek’s paintings was purchased by the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. In 2007, 2011, and 2016, Mizerek was chosen as Artist in Residence at the Museum Yvonne Jean-Haffen in Dinan, France, and three paintings were made part of their permanent museum collection. Selected to paint at the Forbes Colorado Ranch, he exhibited and was made part of the permanent collection at the Forbes Museum in New York.
