William Stanisich Watercolors and other works presented by epoca Artist Statement: Why A Signature Style? by William Stanisich.

[..] Two distinct series of Milos paintings are included in this website. I have been to Greece six times, never trying to recover antiquity but always seeking clarity and radiance. [..] I love to paint the Night. The first two series of watercolors in this website play with ambiguous spaces and veiled or insolent color, all at Night, which is itself ecstatic and sinister.
