April's Promise


Emotional Connect of Abstract Art

I conceive my abstract ideas through intuition which enables me to perceive and interpret relations between various elements of my emotions. My abstract art is more emotionally evocative than other art forms. Those with a high emotional IQ will understand abstract art in a way that others cannot. While abstract art can be intellectualized to a degree, at its core it is the emotional connect to the art piece and the artist that is most important.

Art As An Investment


Umbrellas On The Beach

When you own a painting by artist James Cordasco, you'll enjoy a masterpiece that exhibits creativity far beyond the average painting, and in addition, it is a solid investment that is bound to increase in value for generations. This is due to the fact that unlike most average painters, Cordasco‘s paintings are different, they seem to be about more than ephemeral things. Very structured, very creative, it shows his architectural bent. Even though a painting by Cordasco was purchased as an investment, many times it takes on special significance for you and your family, you might not want to part with it, even if it has soared in value. That's why most collectors insist they don't buy art as an investment, because art is about beauty, and they just enjoy owning it.

Architectural Le Modulor
