The beautiful aura of atmospheric light found in great Baroque paintings pervades the modern work of Hofmann. His harmonious compositions of ballerinas, with superbly balanced colors and shapes, have been critically acclaimed as reminiscent of the Old Masters in execution as well as content.

He learned his technique, which combines his own methods of painting with those of the Old Masters, from the renowned artist and teacher Joseph Sheppard at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, he traveled to Paris to study the Louvre’s superb collection of French 19th-century paintings and 14th-century Flemish panels, and has refined his technique by borrowing from influences he likes, especially Art Nouveau, the Dutch Masters and Victoriana.

He has received many awards, including first prize at the Peale Museum in Baltimore for "Best Painting in the Traditional Manner." His works have been exhibited in group and one-man shows at prestigious galleries and museums, including the National Academy of Design, Delaware Art Museum, and Trump Tower, New York, and are part of the permanent collections of museums across the United States.
