Welcome to Art by Johnny G

Johnny G's adventure in painting began in the summer of 2000. While working for an artist, Johnny was encouraged to pick up a paintbrush. "Just try it because I think that you'll be good at it," said the artist. Not having painted since he was in early elementary school, Johnny laughed to himself and felt there was nothing to lose.

Years later, painting has developed into a deep passion and an important avenue of expression for him. When Johnny paints, he never sets out to create a particular type of painting. His paintings mimic that of how he lives - going with the flow, feeling the guidance, and enjoying the process. Johnny's use of intense colors symbolizes the fiery, abstract vision with which he views life and its twists of ironic beauty. Johnny was quoted as saying, "I paint what I can't photograph and I photograph what I can't paint."

The inspirations behind his paintings come from a place beyond him. As Johnny paints, energies of unconditional Love and Light, Compassion and Healing flow through him into his works. The paintings' messages are left for one to interpret with their own hearts and souls.

The latter part of 2007 has brought a new addition to his artwork as well - the integration of the color frequencies from Auracle’s Colour Therapy Bottles. These Mystical Bottles assist Johnny in revisting a journey of magick and colour that has long been lost within himself.

As for photography, Johnny G has been working with the camera since 1998. Although he never attended a photography school, Johnny's education continues to be his observation of life and the way he internalize its' lessons. Johnny G feels as if he's spent his whole life living outside of an observation tank looking in, while try to ingest these viewpoints and use them in manners in which no one else has. The more Johnny G paints and photographs, the more Johnny realizes that destiny has been sweetly served to him to share with all.

Johnny G was born into a Catholic, Mexican, traditional family and was raised in the heart of the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, California. His early years coincided with the revolutionary free love era that was shared amongst the hippies and free (and often high) spirits flocking to the Haight. He attended a Catholic elementary school for eight years just a few doors up from where the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin lived. He doesn't remember a lot of his life in San Francisco but he turned out to be an average, normal person who goes to Catholic Church on Sundays and runs up and down the aisles nude while humming Pink Floyd tunes. A new definition for normal? Well, he is an artist...
