About the Cover Artist

Vincent Buchinsky (1949-2020) graduated from Pratt University in 1976 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Montclair State College, in 1983, with a Master of Arts. He shared his love of art with high school and college students and retirees throughout his career as an art teacher. Vincent’s artwork has been displayed at galleries in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and Massachusetts and is permanently displayed at 4 radiology centers in Southern California.
Mr. Buchinsky died from complications of COVID-19 in 2020.

A life-long artist, Vincent, said, “I have been making art as far back as I can remember. It is a natural need that all children have, and for me, it continues till this day. It just feels natural… I am happiest and most fulfilled when in the process of making art.”

In his own words, Vincent’s creative inspiration came from “the turbulence of life ... love, joy, happiness, forgiveness, redemption, birth and death …things that we all share. . . recognizable objects are stripped from subject matter and only emotion remains as a record, a visual diary of sorts.”

Diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy in 1996, Vincent was a contributing artist to and dedicated supporter of the Hidden Truths Project’s: The Art of Epilepsy, since its inception in 2012. He noted that, “seizures cause me to experience changing perceptions and provide the ability to understand existential experiences differently. . . a comparative reference point that shows me there is more to what I am seeing. At times, I am aware of feeling a void due to seizure activity. This manifests itself in much of my work as a circular space or an overall emptiness.”
