Athanase Pell studied classical painting in the
European tradition, earning a Master’s Degree
from the Nicolai Pavlovich Academy of Fine Art
in 1987. He began his artistic career focusing his
interest on, and developing his skills by, studying
Mediterranean landscapes. In 1990, Pell moved
to Canada, where he was newly inspired by
the landscapes of North America. The artist has
shown his work in New York City, Chicago,
Atlanta, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamburg,
Amsterdam, Kobe and Paris. Pell has received
numerous commissions, and he now lives and
works in Toronto, Canada.
A. Pell has always loved traditional painting,
and particularly to express the infinitely various
moods of nature. It is vital to him that his
paintings capture not only the physical
landscapes, but its atmospheric qualities as well.
The artist prefers subjects in which light and color
create the mood. His landscapes are delicate
and poetic, enveloping the fine balance of
their subjects.
