Bader Mahasneh is one of the more interesting artists I've ever met. After graduating from college with a degree in law, he decided to become a full-time visual artist. He knew then that just dabbling in the arts was a slippery slope that few can negotiate with any success. His major original influence, Francis Bacon, created work so much like the art that he wanted to produce that in the beginning he considered quitting. Bader is completely self-taught, and moves through mediums whenever he finds himself heading toward a definitive style. His newest approach is photography, though at first glance you might think it was a canvas. I bought one of his painting after I interviewed him and I can't stop looking at it.
