Diego Jacobson is an American artist of Argentine origin. ==Biography== At the age of eight, Diego Jacobson decided to give up drawing. He had dabbled in drawing and a little painting, and concluded he just wasn’t any good. Around this same time, the earliest signs of generalized dystonia began to creep into his body. By thirteen, he was in a wheelchair and a candidate for invasive brain surgery. Today, Diego Jacobson’s paintings have been shown on multiple continents and have impressed critics around the world. Jacobson was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in New York and Puerto Rico. The cryosurgery he went through at 13 drastically improved his symptoms. “I’m extremely lucky,” he says. “It took care of the dystonia about 90 percent.” He refuses to let the residual symptoms limit him, though some days are better than others. “I’m still affected, still have spasms and have a tremor. I can’t write, but I can type. Sometimes it hurts to paint. It could be a lot worse.” He didn’t begin painting until he was in his 30s. A decade later, he has amassed a collection of 1,100 works and 25 solo exhibits, Museography Of The Soul being number 26. Drawing largely from the style of abstract expressionism, Jacobson approaches each painting as an exploration. “I like to apply paint in what I can only describe as a random fashion,” he explains, “always keeping a sense of balance on the canvas, and mixing colors in a nice way. Mostly, I like to cooperate with the paint and see what appears.” After building a clothing manufacturing business, completing a Master's degree in Practical Spirituality at the Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy in California, and traveling the world, Jacobson discovered the artwork of former Beatle Paul McCartney. McCartney’s work moved him and inspired him to put paint to canvas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diego Jacobson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
