In the artist’s words, “When I enter the studio I like to contemplate a place where the bonds between time and space disappear; where all realities exist simultaneously; where everything and anything is possible. The unknown beckons me to a place of magical discovery and Id like to take you all with me on the journey....”

Sultan’s canvases are seeded with delightful paradoxes that coexist harmoniously. He seamlessly depicts worlds where time speeds up and slows down, where the ancient and the future flirt. He uses colors and textures to create a playground where the possible and impossible collide, dance, merge and separate.
Sultan’s paintings serve as a bridge between the seen and the unseen exposing the gears that move our existence. Sultan’s work energetically peels back the layers of human perception. What remains to be seen is both inspirational and revealing.

“The most important thing for creativity to flourish is to be open to inspiration from unexpected sources not just painting. I’ve had the privilege to try my hand in various creative fields—decorative arts, furniture design, interior design, and fine arts. I am also very interested in archeology and philosophy. The key for me is to sift through this rich visual history and to initiate dialogue between these disparate sources.” - Albert Sultan
