Vigorous color and bold, edgy lines generate intensity in the contemporary paintings of international artist Steven Krueger. Born in New Jersey, he has traveled and lived worldwide, first while serving in the U.S. Navy and currently in the Foreign Service. Global travel and constant change influence his painting more than his culture of origin. His painting style developed the most in the colorful, vibrant culture of Guatemala, with its constant backdrop of fear and violence. Spontaneity characterizes Krueger’s process as well as his paintings. He rarely plans the outcome of a piece, but uses paint and other materials with reckless abandon, and surrenders to emotion. With roots in cubism and abstract expressionism, his restless paintings convey spectrums of feeling. Says Krueger: “My creations are made with emotion, so if people react then I am content”.

Presently living and working in India his paintings hang in private collections throughout the world from Europe, Asia, and Africa to Latin America and the United States
