Arizona Based Artist

Johan Sorvala is an Arizona based artist, that has taken a few ribbons in different competitions around the state. Johan has never worked so hard and been so mesmerized in anything in his life as he does a painter. He wandered around most of his life piddling with this and that. Suddenly he had something to put all his energy, time and resources into. Although his work has not fully matured, discovering his voice is enjoyable for him. The panoply of visions that all want to come out is in his work shows from one piece to the next. He realizes as his body of work expands there will be more consistency as he learns his craft. All he needs to concentrate on, is a defined space with a clear boundary from the rest of the world. All the noise beyond that disappears when he can focus all his energy on a single painting. There is still plenty there that is unknown, which insists his desire, to keep poking at something. Everything now is about creating.
