Sensibility is an acute, heart-felt perception of the vast variety of color nuances, composition and aesthetics. Art is the revelation of an exquisite sensibility. The artist objectifies his sensibility, his inborn distinction. The significance of art is not to be seen in the universality of its immediate results. Art is a religion; its aim is the elevation of thought. Sensibility characterizes the individual; at the height of perfection, it distinguishes the artist. A high degree of sensibility is the best possible disposition for any beautiful conception of art. Style comes from precise sensation and full realization. Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience. Style proceeds from the artist's own particular way of feeling and expressing himself. One judges the excellence of a mind by the originality with which it develops its ideas. An intellect with a powerful ability to organize represents the most precious collaboration which a sensibility can have in its efforts to realize a work of art. It is all summed up in this: to possess sensations, to read nature, and to develop an acute perception of the vast nuances of color.

It is a captivating vision-a seamless bridge between the raw, ancient energy of megalithic sites and the vibrant depth of modern abstraction. The way the works are described as a "spiritual journey through expressive form and color" perfectly captures that sense of coalescence between history and contemporary technique.
For those looking to experience this fusion of Giclée Paintings by Curtis, here are a few ways to delve deeper into the artistry:
Each visual element (shape, line) should have its own character but work with others. Counterpoint rules in visual composition, borrowing from music, focus on balancing independent elements (organic forms-geometric shapes) with overall harmony, emphasizing contrary motion (opposite movement-direction), avoiding parallelism (especially perfect organic-geometric shapes and forms), managing consonance-dissonance (stable-tense intervals-shapes), ensuring each line's melodic independence, and building from foundational bass elements or dark colors upward to lighter, more intense colors for richness. Think of it as creating layered, conversational visual parts that fit together without overpowering each other, using techniques like oblique motion (one static, one moving) for variety.
