Abstract Figurative Art For Sale

Artists Describing Their Art:

Richard Solstjarna - Richard SolstjA$?rna born in Sweden, lives and works in Berlin. Abstract Painting dominates my artistic expression. In my paintings the Energy and Forces which are immanent in Nature are visualized. Forces at work in maximum self-sufficiency. Primary, undiluted, full of tension. Never at ease always in moment. A pulse in rhythm and rhyme. Emerging from a Void, an emptiness and silent space which is the source of its origin. The theme, the allegories and concepts form the basis of my creations and for the technique I will avail myself of. There are no rules. Any preconceived image are dissolved for that particular artwork to emerge. Installations are made when the theme and work calls for it. ...

Nicole Pereira - NICOLE PEREIRA Nicole Pereira is a young rising artist who started producing artwork at the young age of 4. Nicole noticed that she had a gift for art when her artwork was selected in her local public school and community art competitions. The local press also started raving about Nicoles work.

Roberta Masciarelli - My art is about spaces that I sense, places that I like to travel to in my imagination. These spaces stay hovering in my mind until they take shape, piece by piece. They have to become real. Sometimes it take days, and sometimes months -- it doesn't matter. What matters is my task to make them concrete and to be shared with the viewer - other eyes and minds which will bring different interpretations. After all, it is always in the eyes of the beholder. ...

Margaret Stone - Here we are, physically cemented to the earth by gravity. But - our imaginations stretch and soar, taking us beyond our planet and connecting us with far places in the universe. Being part of this, do we indeed live and bloom in a cosmic garden? Ah, perhaps so. I am exploring this connection in my new artwork....

Mark Nelson - Before arriving to Chicago Mark Nelson traveled extensively overseas with his family. Nelson's early childhood residencies involved adapting to new surroundings, diverse cultures, and becoming aware of his inherit role as an icon of U.S. occupation. As a North American colonist, the privilege to be a product of the United States carried with it the stigma of the conqueror. A symbol of empirical denial to equity, fair trade, fair politics, and monopoly of resources, Nelson was motivated to validate his life journey through an exploration of projects that have involved inequity in labor, racial profiling, cultural demonization, and economic domination. While his early artwork in Panama was forged in the politically and socially charged arena of a 1970 - 1980's Central America, it was Nelson's arrival to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he began to expand his media repertoire. Over the years, Mark Nelson established himself within the community of Chicago as a laboring artist and teacher. While his travels continue to bring me back to Panama for rejuvenation, Nelson is firmly grounded, toiling within his Studio and home located in Chicago's historic Pilsen neighborhood. ...

Ken Hillberry - In art and in life, dynamics of balance, integrity and tolerant interaction of all elements or participants ought to be see, experienced and maintained. At the same time, the challenge of affecting this balance is creatively encountering all changes and adapt accordingly. For some, the destination or pre-determined outcomes are sought more often than not. Then there are some who savor the journey, thus witnessing and enjoying developments along the way. I fall into the latter category. It's like watching the film develop in a darkroom. the image takes form a little at a time right before my eyes. The creative process, for me, is void of pressure and timeless. The ability and practice and discipline are central in my approach. My creative intent is to engage a viewer in thought and emotion, as well as, with their eyes. Using imagination, retrospect or model, my range of composition can be conceptual, perhaps impressionistic or abstract in application, but always developed to evoke an awareness and appreciation for the relative conditions in life experience and art form as I incisively or playfully interpret my experiences along the way. ...
