About CMT'S COLLECTION

Getting To Know A Little About ChrisMoses Tolliver

             
CMT’S Collection is art from the soul of an adventurous young black artist. Growing up, I have seen and been through more things than one can even imagine, I guess that’s why all my art consist of life. I try to capture life in all my paintings, through animals, plants, but mainly people. Before I started painting in oils, I was a young artist who could draw anything. Now, I try to be that young oil painter that can paint anything because, to me art is an adventurous world with many master pieces around it.  

As a beginner in oil painting I found it very difficult to bring a picture together. I was not prepared for all the preparation that was involved in doing a painting, but I would not let that stop me. I purchased books on painting techniques and practiced hard, which in return developed my painting skills more and more. Every time I touched a canvas you could see the progress in my work if compared to previous paintings. Now, I try approaching the canvas with a different attitude controlling the canvas and not letting the canvas control me. This I learned was very important in oil painting. My specialty is portraits because I am continuously astonished by the portraitures of the 14^th and 15^th century. To me art has no boundaries and that is why there's always room for improvement.
 

I have come a long way with oils, but a wise man once told me that practice makes perfect. So I practice and practice, so that every time you see a painting by ChrisMoses Tolliver, it was better than the last. You will see that I strive for excellence in all of my artwork, from beginning to end. This is just the beginning of CMT'S COLLECTION so stay tuned and enjoy the ride.
