James Chadima

JChadima is a Paris based, multidisciplinary artist who continues to exhibit internationally.

He is recognized by the prestigious international auction house "AKOUN" with a certified quotation for the sale of his work, resale and auction evaluations.

Refining his skills and highly creativity beginning in his youth; JChadima has been exhibiting and selling his work from a very young age.

Born in the United States, JChadima was educated and hold several degrees from the University of Colorado. His unique style and creative vision was nurtured and constructed on a solid foundation with some of the most influential early to mid-century American artists and their former students. Artists like Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe, Arthur Dove and others were directly involved and influential in contributing to JChadima’s artistic foundation.

Employing his expertise in photography JChadima developed the ability to discern and draw inspiration from the world around him. Either it be directly from nature or still life, urban, environmental or current historic influences; the bases of his paintings come directly from the impressions he derives from his photography. An abstraction process occurs seeing beyond the images and analysing line, form, shapes, colours, and textures. Utilizing these aspects, a highly stylized, graphic, colourful pallet study is produced, and the pieces of work come to life.
