My name is John Cocoris and i do not enforce copyrights for my artwork so if any student artist that thinks any of my artwork is good enough to copy and wishes to copy them you are very welcome to do so.
I am a self taught artist and i started painting in oil paints in 1972 and after 40 years of painting in oil paints i am still learning how to paint.
Most of the oil painting scenes i paint are created from my imagination.
Depending how i feel i just think of a place and a atmosphere i feel like being in at that particular time and i start painting that scene.
I have exhibited in several Art Gallery’s in the past and i have had many offers to do commission work but i have always without hesitation gratefully refused all commissions.
I have never taken on a commission and i never will no mater how much money i am offered because i like to paint freely and paint what i feel and want to paint.
My biggest reward for all the years i have been painting is if any one of my paintings is still around and hanging on somebodies wall a few hundred years from now because they found it in a attic and did not end up in the local rubbish tip that would be great!!!. If not! No worries!! I just love painting no mater what the outcome is.
Thank you for taking the time to view my artwork.
Best Regards, John Cocoris
