Ethan Deuel, who sold his first painting at the age 9 to a Scottsdale collector, has found himself immersed in the production of new and unique art ever since.

"We have invented nothing," Pablo Picasso exclaimed after emerging from the famous Paleolithic cave of Lascaux in France. So what is the importance of Contemporary Art?

Ethan Deuel's answer can be found in the incredible array of forms that his works have taken. From large format wall hangings to sculpture and creatively sublime hand painted fountains. The religious, dramatic and artistic interpretations of human existence are still the basis for the creation of Ethan Deuel's art.

Ethan Deuel was first exposed to the painted caves of Baja, California in 1985 when Ethan Deuel joined his father on a trip to gather information for a book. Ethan Deuel's exposure to this spellbinding imagery was the catalyst that launched Ethan Deuel's career. Meticulously detailed sketches, as well as photographs, were composed on the numerous trips that Ethan Deuel made to the caves.

The absorption of this extra-ordinary imagery gave Ethan Deuel the ability to create his first series of primitive cave paintings, which were based on his interpretations of the aesthetics, symbolism, and spirituality of the Baja culture. Ethan Deuel feels that Picasso's quote, "We have invented nothing", continues to echo throughout the art world.

"As we enter the new millennium, I hope his paradoxical statement continues to ring true, validating the art of this period", comments Ethan Deuel.
