A. AGUS (1992)

Artist/Painter lives and works in Italy.

Ardic Agus is a professional fine art painter who paints directly from life, using the methods of traditional 19th-century ateliers. He focuses on still life painting, en plein air, and portraiture.

Agus first studied art in Florence, Italy, under the guidance of Michael John Angel, who himself was a student of the great Italian painter Pietro Annigoni. Agus continued his classical training under the guidance of Jordi Diaz Alama at the Barcelona Academy of Art. The biggest inspiration for Agus is his love of life and experiencing it fully.
