Michael Tupek

Michael Tupek is a first-generation Croatian born in Chicago, Illinois in 1963. Although having artistic ability since his early youth, he began to neglect it during his teenage years to pursue other interests. After many years, he moved to New Hampshire and married his wife Gail, who encouraged him to take up art again. Eventually he felt he should endeavor to sell his paintings and has been selling successfully at several galleries located in Boston, MA, Newburyport, MA, and Peterborough, NH.

He is completely self-taught and strives for beauty both in old world realism and composition. He paints only from life, preferring still-life and floral settings, although he has accomplished two portrait commissions.

The principal masters who inspire him the most are the French artists Chardin and Fantin-Latour, and certain great Dutch artists such as Van Huysum and Verelst.
