Sobre el Artista

Karl Bronk’s early fascination with fine art began as a young man living in France and New York City, where the Louvre, the MET and other museums and art galleries throughout Paris and Manhattan offered a unique opportunity to study original classical paintings created by the greatest artists. The magic of their talents to replicate the visual world with dabs of oil paint inspired him to recognize that his own passion for making art made him a member of a unique clan. After receiving his education as an art major from Salem State University and Montserrat College of Art, he launched his career as an illustrator and art director for Boston advertising agencies, working on clients such as Marriott Corporation, Burger King, Bausch & Lomb, and many others. Continuing to develop as a fine arts painter, Karl’s oil paintings have been represented by several art galleries and welcomed into many awards competitions and art associations. After leaving the commercial art and advertising field, Karl now devotes his full energies in his studio to the continued refinement of a style and content that uniquely expresses his visual interpretation of the physical world. Currently, represented by the J. Todd Gallery in Wellesley, Massachusetts, he is also a member of the North Shore Arts Association and Rockport Art Association on historic Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
