Sanders Art Studio.com (http://www.sandersartstudio.com/servlet/the-Pre-dsh-Order-Art--dsh--Rodel-Gonzalez/Categoriescategory_name=Pre-Order+Art+-+Rodel+Gonzalez) in Ogden, Utah is excited to kick off 2009 with new Disney Fine Art by Rodel Gonzales.
Rodel Gonzalez is an artist of inspirational talents with a keen eye for seeing the beauty in the commonplace and grace in the ordinary. His story starts with an initiation into the art
business through the tutelage of his father, Rick Gonzalez and grandfather, Felix Gonzalez, at the age of 9. Growing up my father would always tells me to not be intimidated by the paint
and be 100 % sure about my intentions on my first stroke at the canvas says Rodel. His explorations of color, form, and composition ignited a lifelong passion for the arts in its many
forms.
He studied at the University of Santo Tomas, with a major in painting and went on to earn a degree in Interior Design from the Philippines School of Interior Design. This early training
required perseverance in acquiring the skills and discipline that would prove to serve him well in future endeavors on his path to artistic freedom.
His artistry became evident in the field of music and at 20 he founded Side A in the Philippines. The band is still active today and is currently the longest-lived band in Manila. Rodel
was the lead singer and the band'ss most prolific songwriter. His success in the music industry fulfilled a part of him, but exposed a desire for a more meaningful and deeper connection
with his audience.
In 1994, Rodel embarked on a new journey. His talents were manifested as a minister in the service of others. Although busy with his official duties, he maintained his connection with art
by doing commissioned portraits, murals, and sketches for friends and acquaintances.
In 2002, Rodel began in earnest his dreams of pursuing a fine art career. With inspiration and influence from his brother, Rudolf Gonzalez, and support from his cousin Roy Gonzalez
Tabora, he has a newfound energy and dedication for his artwork.
When asked about his latest works for the Disney Fine Art portfolio, Rodel has said, Having the opportunity to create Disney paintings is such a treat because Disney was definitely part
of my childhood. I remember watching my first Disney films Bambi and Snow White and ever since I'sve been mesmerized by the succeeding Disney movies I'sve seen. I believe a painting is a
mirror of the painter'ss understanding of an insight he has. The Disney paintings each involved such a strong concept that every brushstroke was a joyful anticipation of the finished
product. The energy was very strong therefore my intentions were sure and refined. I would say that there was a lot of grace present on every painting.
