I spent many summers helping my father * there at the shop and watching him build Harley motorcycles from the * ground up and then painted the gas tanks ( and anything else he could * find on the motorcycle) with fantasy images that were inspired by such * artist as Franzetta and Boris Valleo. I then became fascinated with the * beautiful, powerful and sexy women that these artist created. * * * * Over the years I researched techniques of the “Old Masters” * such as Leonardo DA Vinci, Rubens, Raphael, and Rembrandt.  I fell in * love with the technique of glazing transparent oil color over a neutral * colored under painting. With strong influences from fantasy artist, * surreal artist, and the “Old Masters”, I create disturbingly beautiful * oil paintings that interpret to the viewer my deep emotions that are * conceived from my views of current social, political, and religious * dynamics. My ideas come to me in an organic fashion. Starting with a * seed of a simple idea and growing into many complex symbols and images. * My main goal is to capture my audience and bring them to my emotional * state in the hopes that my test for an echo will be a success. * *Information from the artist's website: http://leslieditto.com/?page_id=6 * *
