“The still lifes are quiet, meditative prayers made from simple compositions. The simple imagery pulls you into that spot, so that you want to be at that cup of coffee, at this moment.”

Raleigh-based artist Anthony Ulinsky paints intimate moments from observation and memory. “Window Sill With Coffee Cup, Newspaper and Envelope” is a staged scene from his residency studio window at The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, an artist community in Amherst, Virginia. In reference to his childhood growing up in Asia, Africa, Europe and the U.S., the
International Herald Tribune depicted is the English language newspaper his family read overseas, and the airmail letter is a
nod to their method of communication. His oil-on-canvas paintings weave personal history into simple compositions, drawing the viewer into a specific moment in time
An artist and studio furniture maker, Anthony Ulinski originally studied economics and math at Beloit College in Wisconsin before taking up woodworking in 1976 and, later, painting in 1993.
