Julia Cake - Julia Cake: Sculptress Born: 1973 in Monaco Currently Living in England Introduction Julia's passion for sculpting began when she was 16 after an accident cut short a holiday from another of her true passions, skiing. She enrolled in the famous Beaux Art academy in France to more fully express what was already an over whelming artistic flair. She decided to move into the three-dimensional world of sculpting. This dynamic gave Julia the release she needed to allow her artistic ideas to flow. These ideas when suppressed in earlier years were sometimes misunderstood by those around her, who would comment that Julia's introspective behavior perhap's required a quite different therapy. Her first ever piece "Trois Elephants" was judged 2nd place at an international exhibition in Cannes. She was just 17 years old. From clay she moved into marble, which soon became the stone for which Julia's passion raged. Born in Monaco and growing up in the French Riviera, Julia was able to drive into Italy to hand pick the most beautiful pieces of naturally formed marble to work with. This is what developed her most sought after talent; the ability to take a stone and transform ...
Avril Ward - Artist's statement. Creating has become an intricately woven part of my life. I must express nature, as it is my window to God. I must delight in the human body, a marvel that never ceases to amaze. I must express love and joy-this keeps them tangible in my life. I must trust my instincts and skills allowing them to lead me in the right direction. Most importantly: if my art can move a person to pause, think, smile, ponder, cry, laugh, be encouraged or give them hope, then I have served my purpose in life."

Ved Prakash Bhardwaj - Is it true that an abstract painting has no reference to any figurative reality? I don't think like that. I believe that there is nothing abstract in a painting because every abstraction is based on figures. Abstract forms, which was generally adopted by artists comes from nature and nature has several fixed forms, which used in abstract paintings. In my works, I used parts of human body as a symbol of land or nature. I am not a narrator, so I try to paint in a different way, because I am re-creator, original creator is god or nature, whatever you say. I believe that god or nature is greatest creator and as a human being, we can only try to re-create whatever we see in our life. As an abstract painter, I try to simplify or reduced the real forms. In that process I get some unaccepted result, and I think that was not my creation, that was god's creation. ved prakash bhardwaj...
Jean-Luc Lacroix - Jean-Luc Lacroix offers to older tools, utensils or other items the chance of a life more beautiful, a contemplative retreat. His talent in the art of recovery and his imagination in the creative reconstruction are without limits. A chair or a console in the sculptured design gives the tray of a pedal assembly the elegance of lace, a fifth wheel as a small pedestal table makes it a beautiful set to pulleys and cranks... But the effect of his work would be incomplete if it did not emphasize the humor that runs through each part: a phantasmagoric bestiary or realistic vain brightenes his work, as well as suggestive names like aEURoeHangover seweraEUR, aEURoeUrlubaEUR or aEURoeBrutusaEUR.

Christo Kasabov - My approach can be described as a New, Conceptual Expressionism. I am using a vast alchemy of materials composed and distributed across the surface in defiance of the very notion of moderation, rationality and order. In my paintings you can see layers of sculptural acrylic structure in which I engrave signs and symbols, numbers and words, inspired from the heritage of the ancient civilizations. My inspiration also comes from the language and the movement of the perfection and beauty of the human body. I use collages from wood, metal pieces or household objects to accomplish and enrich the abstract composition until I achieve the special environment in which everything takes on an artistic language and a philosophical reincarnation, like a trip beyond the horizon towards the exceptional feeling of the material and nonmaterial. The sign in the abstract is both concept and dynamic expression of my spiritual and inner life. It is the leap beyond the realm of what we can see into the realm of the imagination rooted in the human soul. Through the use of evocative color intense dimensional abstractions and architectural symbols, my art reflects the often difficult personal exploration and discovery of my inner spirit. ...
Amy Wetterlin - I strive to exalt the human spirit through capturing composition, structures (organic and non)and repeating patterns. The patterns and forms create an abstract while maintaining balance and movement of life force. Life either moves or is stagnant...it's up to you. Thanks for looking! Cheers Amy...
