About me

Eric Armusik is a romantic figurative painter. His skills are appreciated by critics and patrons because of his ability to combine technical brilliance with elaborate drama and emotion in both his figures and their settings. Eric’s early experiences with art were staring at the ceilings during church at the local Roman Catholic cathedral each Sunday as a child. Seeking out formal training after school, Eric attended Pennsylvania State University, where he earned a B. F. A. in painting, and a minor in an art history focusing on Baroque art. He spent one semester studying painting and art history in Italy. The rare opportunity to view masterworks by Baroque painters Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi had a profound effect on the direction and quality of his work. Today Eric’s paintings have established him as one of today’s strongest purveyors of traditional figurative painting. In 2010 he won the Chairman’s Award for the Sixth International Art Renewal Center competition out of 1700 submissions from over 30 countries worldwide.

Eric Armusik is a skilled portrait and figure painter. His paintings have been displayed in galleries and museums in Philadelphia, New York, and Florence, Italy. His paintings are in the permanent collections of The Trenton City Museum, Lehigh Valley Hospital and numerous private collections. His work has also been prominently featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ARTFORUM, American Artist Magazine, American Art Collector, Victorian Homes Magazine, Old House Journal, and ArtMATTERS.

tks for doing it, is a sufering rocess? how long does it take? incredible works, i love each of them...

Posted by armusik on September 08, 2011

Thank you so much. Some of the older works have taken 1-2 months. The newer work, though larger and more involved, I paint much faster 3-4 weeks most times.
