Urig loves to paint in a highly textured, colorful, realistic and modern identifiable approach that he has self coined as "Sculpted Paint".
He loves to capture that moment in time when the dancing of light reflects its warm and cool colors. His sentiment and emotions can be felt in his painterly observations and the movement of his pallet knife on canvas. You will want to see these paintings in person for they have textural detail and glisten that are missed by any reproduction.
