Marilyn Monroe

The subject of movies, videos and paintings.

Watching a demonstration of how a painting is painted…that’s special.

Well…here it is. Marilyn Monroe

Spontaneous painting.

Here’s my tour through the Voka process and the points of interest.

At…00:16 The background painting. A free and exciting abstract background.

NOTE: The scale of this painting is smaller than most in the gallery.
The size looks to be about 60″. See gallery for larger paintings.

Voka is the founder of
Spontaneous Realism

If you look in a dictionary for the word spontaneous you will find definitions like…

• “rising from a momentary impulse without conscious reflection”
• “not apparently contrived or manipulated: natural”
• “often surprising for the surrounding environment”

Looking at Voka’s paintings from this vantage point, makes this newly created expression a more than meaningful description of his work. If one has the opportunity or chance to watch the painter while he is in the act of creating his work, and see — or better, experience — the immediacy, vigor and enthusiasm with which Voka creates his paintings, then this simple expression, spontaneous realism, conveys a defining emotion. And this is exactly the moment where his art begins. Voka’s inspirations are the everyday events of daily life, the seemingly hidden, though omnipresent.
