Robert Codina was hanging his art work in the Art@Clarks’ gallery where I asked him “What do you consider a successful piece of art?” He ruminated a moment and came up with this: “It is successful if it speaks to the inner self of the viewer. Also, it must be visually appealing.” He indicated the photo of an old, derelict building and a massive tree.

“The title of this photo, ‘Fading Memories’ explains a lot about my work. I hope to touch people at a different level and trigger personal thoughts about their life.”

We walked over to another work which was a Texas landscape, looked at it, and he added “A successful artist is one who runs with his own vision and does not compromise his spirit.” Robert uses Photoshop a little but spends most of his creative time outdoors taking pictures of the world around us.
