Ashkar is best known for his classic painting, The Beauty of Color, and is currently working on The Beautiful Woman Series. His stated goal is to portray women in a positive way, showing their independence, beauty & intelligence. His models wear no make-up, seldom are adorned by jewels, but they are some of the most striking images of women by a modern artist. Ashkar Studios in Burbank, CA, was founded in 2000 where he continues to create these striking images of women and also works on scenery for television and the movie studios. |
