Adolfo Medved

Artist Statement

Visiting art galleries and museum exhibitions has always been one of my favorite recreational activities.

When I retired after too many years in accounting, I had time to explore my own views of graphic art.

Photography has always been one of my passions, and now I found ways to use it as an expression tool. My prior use of computers enabled me to work with digital files and edit the images that I capture to produce pictures that will bring color and joy to the room where they are placed.

My work “Wednesday Morning” was part of the de Young Open 2023 exhibit, which added enthusiasm to my career as an artist.

I prepared a collection of works to participate in the 2025 Marin Open Studios. My garage in Terra Linda will be remodel as an art gallery to house my art works.

In most cases my pieces are digitally edited photographs, printed on canvas and finished with acrylic paint and mediums.

One of my goals is to make my art accessible. There is a choice of canvas sizes and depths to fit the needs of the buyer. On request, I can use metallic or acrylic prints.

Biography

I was born on a sunny April afternoon in Buenos Aires in 1949.

After I graduated with a degree in accounting from the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1975, I moved to New York City Where I worked in export sales and international banking.

In 1984, after our daughter Natasha was born, we moved to the Bay Area.

I created a company that manufactured women’s cosmetic handbags that I designed and had manufactured in México while also working as a tax accountant.

I passed the CPA test and also received a Master in Science in Taxation from the Golden Gate University and worked in public accounting, specializing in the taxation of vineyards and wineries. In 2014 I retired from the CPA lifestyle.

My time is now divided between my art work, my garden and cooking good meals for my family and friends.

Hopefully we will meet during Marin Open Studios
