| Education and biography | |
| Artist’s Biography Ayes was born in New York City. He began drawing when he was three years of age. He began painting within the medium of oils when he was 14. At the tender age of 14 Ayes won an honorable mention at the New York International Art Show’s, Da Vinci Art Competition. Soon his teachers would encourage him to attend the High School of Visual Arts. There he learned the basics of art and design relative to advertising art, but his heart was always in fine arts. He then went to the School of Visual Arts to formally study painting. There he discovered that they couldn’t teach him because of his color perception deficiency. Ayes first oil paintings were executed using monochromatic techniques, using one Color to depict subjects within a full range of values from the color’s lightest to its darkest tones. Many years were spent in perfecting and analyzing his medium and how he could push it to its limits. He studied optics and the effects of reflected and refracted light. Then he began adding more colors to his palette orchestrating a multitude of variations of monochromatic colors upon his canvases. 2.
