In Focus

“The play of light, shadow, and color transforms these objects, revealing nuances that often go unnoticed. I invest time in observing how light interacts with surfaces, altering perceptions and creating moods. This exploration drives my creative process, as I seek to convey not only the physical representation of the object but also the emotional depth it elicits.” – Scott Yelonek

In Focus captures the charm of bygone objects and nostalgia for past adventures through the lens of the vintage camera. Yelonek’s photo-realistic style allows him to capture the fine details and intricate textures of everyday objects. In celebrating their beauty and nuance he creates an emotional connection with the viewer. “My favorite part is watching once forgotten and discarded objects come to life on the canvas, revealing their hidden character. I enjoy imagining the countless moments these cameras have captured over their lifetimes and the untold stories they hold.”, says Yelonek.

A guiding source of inspiration for Yelonek when creating new work is witnessing the joy that his art can bring others. “Hearing their stories and personal interpretations fuels my passion and reinforces the purpose behind my art, reminding me of the powerful bond between artist, object, and viewer. Each interaction deepens my understanding of the emotions my art can stir, encouraging me to explore even further in my creative journey.”, the artist shares.

Scott Yelonek is a versatile artist with a dual career in both graphic design and painting. After earning his degree and training under a diverse range of artists, he developed a distinctive approach that bridges the world of commercial design and fine art. His work spans multiple mediums, with a focus on oil painting and watercolor, often infused with inspiration from the character and detail of his subjects. Yelonek’s work is exhibited nationally and has garnered numerous awards. His art appeared on the cover of the March 2025 issue of American Art Collector Magazine. His work continues to evolve, with each piece reflecting his ongoing journey as an artist.
