Cecil Bernard is an Abstract Artist and contemporary expressionist and have no problem creating traditional art and all others. Cecil is one of the most passionate and exciting abstract artist in the contemporary art world. His work is contained in some of the most prestigious art collections around the globe while his reputation as the “Artist to the Stars” (Dallas Morning News, September 1990) grows daily.
Bernard was born in Austin, Texas, and started drawing at the age of six. He moved to Dallas when he was ten years old, living there until adulthood. He started selling art while in high school and later while attending Southwestern Adventist University in Keene, Texas.
Bernard’s acrylic abstracts, pastel paintings and ink sketches exhibit great power. “Passion, color, texture, spontaneity, and balance are the core of my acrylic abstract paintings and contemporary jazz and music pieces,” says Bernard. “Inspired by the struggle, humor and spirituality in the balance of life, I paint – usually without a brush.” Bernard’s unique method of painting – often using his hands, cardboard or rags – has become one of his trademarks. “I pour the paint, I throw it, I drop it and I spray it,” he says. “Colors have value in every painting, and color itself is spiritual, if arranged in a manner that speaks to the soul and stirs the passion of the beholder. Every painting tells a story. No matter how simple, no matter how complex.”
