"To Go Beyond" by Richard Franklin

This is a large (39x42), framed fine art print by artist Richard Franklin.  This elegant artwork has been enhanced with metallic ink.

Artist Richard Franklin was born in 1961 in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Richard Franklin lived and studied in Europe, the Middle East, and throughout the United States. Having graduated from International University High School in Watford, England, Franklin attended Brigham Young University and the Colorado Institute of Art. He learned the art of oil painting studying with master artists in Saudi Arabia. Richard Franklin's beautiful treatment of the human figure draws from the religious, mythological and secular visions of the past. To his compositions he added visuals elements of a more modern style. The result is his unique aesthetic, and perhaps the hope that the ideal of beauty sought by the Old Masters still exists in today's world.
