About Me

My photo
Jacob Brest
Born in Sacramento in 1986 and raised in California throughout his life. After years of painting portraits and landscapes in the strict confines of realism, Brest abandoned that style all-together in an attempt to communicate his world in a more organic way- he wanted freedom. "Im tired of manipulating paints, looking at a picture and always knowing what Im going to paint," he said "I wanted to make something raw, bold- I paint from my mind now, and I really dont always know what I'll paint next, because Im painting as I feel it, not something that's already there. It's a beautiful thing how your mind makes you unique- and that's what this is, its the chance of every drip, the anger in my brushstrokes, its me." His work is just that- a testament to the immediate inter-workings of this artist's mind.
