Artists Describing Their Art:

Prabha Shah - There's a central theme underlining my work: India, or more specifically Rajasthan, in colours. Cities, streets, people, desert depictions fading rapidly, everything I love and miss. Emotional tension finds an outlet in the process of creation. People and historical events live inside me as shapes and colours. Colour is central to my painting. Life is the epitome of the universe. Through painting I try to stay close to those things I like but can't own. Things which often hurt us but we insist on desiring and loving in a unique way. The mysterious repetition of nothingness that torments us all. --Prabha Shah...

Linda Paul - Artists Statement" When asked 'What is your favorite painting', I always say, 'the next one I am going to paint!" Style: I don't paint in any one style, I let inspiration speak to me and I go with the flow. My work runs the gamut from chunky realism to abstract and impressionist painting. I use many different mediums to create my artworks. One of my favorites is egg tempera which I make by crushing stones and minerals and adding egg yolk. Blues come from crushed lapis lazuli, greens from malachite and natural green earth found around Verona Italy. I even use minerals found during hikes in the Rocky Mountains. I am captivated not only by the purity and naturalness of this medium, but by the science of it. Each pigment has its own set of properties and capabilities that must be explored. How better to express visions of the earth than with earth itself. This medium is luminous and lasts for centuries. also make my own acrylic paint in the same manner. By adding pure pigment to a acrylic polymer. I can add thing like crushed mica and pearlescents to make the painting come alive. Lately I have also ...

Yeoun Lee - We're all affected by what we see around us, by our experience and also by our moods. My great source of inspiration comes from nature and colors. Through the observation of it, the memory of it, and my imagination of it, nature inspires me. When I look around at the moods and seasons of nature, I feel similarities to the changes in the journey of my life. Our life contains energetic, happy, joyful but also sad, hopeless and fearful moments. When the weather and seasons change, they are like the swing of my feelings, emotions and moods. I express all these changes with different colors which inspire me. I don't paint what I see. I paint what I feel. It's not ordinary landscape. It's imaginary landscape. Each scene calls forth a technique that uniquely fits it. Nature is showing me my life. As I recreate it, I am renewed. I imagine the scene and pick the color I feel like using and start painting. While I paint, I forget unnecessary thoughts and worries and thereby I heal myself. The colors and techniques which make up my own new world depend on my mood and feeling at ...

Paul Cairns - Most of the time my work is rooted in an exploration of structure, by nature and the landscapes of Northern Ireland where I grew up or Essex where I now live. Structurally the handling of the materials is very physical with the stretchers frequently becoming more sculptural or sculptures becoming painterly. Painting can sometimes be seen as passively hanging on the wall out of the way so to counter this viewpoint many of my works inhabit the space much more, from heavy relief to working fully in the round. Nature and landscape is never far away from my thoughts and being part of nature is what has enabled us to develop a sense of culture, so when I paint what may at first look like a conventional portrait, you will soon see that the sitter is a part of the landscape; they have had a hand in forming each other. ...

Mary Mansey - The Mediterranean Sea--with its streams of color, its light, its reflections--has fascinated me since I was a child. Water continues to be the main source of inspiration. Water is constantly changing and I seek to capture its many forms, before they disappear, in my photography. While nature is the starting point, abstraction is the goal. I capture the natural world only to enhance it through careful manipulation with digital imaging software. My multi-layered images begin with a single photo, which is transformed and sometimes combined with other photographs. The goal is to achieve the expressiveness of painting through the artistic treatment of the images. Even though I never use human figures, my photographs are ultimately more about people than about nature. The ripples and reflections represent ephemeral, passing moments that can be briefly perceived by the camera or human eye. ...

Sandra Costa Bras - After trying several painting and photography techniques, I chose watercolour as the main media of expression of feelings, sensations and thoughts. The paintings always start with small dots of water and colour and through the interaction of both the paintings are born. All the things lost and lock in my memory, feelings and thoughts, images, landscapes, places, people and situations, appear between, the fields of colour, the lines, the forms and become alive. I found, working with watercolours, my inner self. Watercolours were chosen as my main technique cause, with then and with small pieces of paper, I express myself totally. I no longer fell the pressure and the need, I felt before, of working on large canvas and I feel free to do whatever it comes to my mind. So the result of these last years of work is those paintings full of light, colour, life and movement. I found myself as a painter....

Don Dougan - My work comprises both abstracted and figurative imagery executed in a variety of mixed materials, with stone being the predominate medium. Other materials used (usually in conjunction with stone) include foundry cast metals, carved and joined wood, cast and fabricated plastics, cold-worked and kiln-formed glass, cast and carved hydraulic cements, cast/formed paper, welded/fabricated metals, gilding, and found/assembled objects. The more abstracted imagery is worked in pedestal pieces, large freestanding sculptures, and in wall-mounted relief sculptures. The figurative lip series is usually presented in wall-mounted reliefs, deep shadowbox framing, and occasionally as either a pedestal piece or a large freestanding work. The most recently begun series of work comprises pedestal-sized pieces using the imagery of the ship or the boat hull. Each series or each type of work allows me to express aspects of the human condition - the more abstracted works tend to reveal a more universal emotional/rational characterization of subject matter, the lip series tends to allow sensuality, humor, and more visceral expressions, while the ship series delves into personal/cultural memories and emotional journeys.

Mila Gvardiol - Landscapes of soul are landscapes painted in all available colors on the palette of human sense and pointlessness. In such poetics love and hate live together as an important form of contradiction in the human soul. They have so much juice of life, overflowing abundance, as well as a multitude of sandy wasteland, because what is left of everything, in the end, is only a pale trace, and from a lot of people and things there is nothing to remain. The one who knows the secret of life would never recommends giving up. He recommended existence, always a new departure to the adventure of meaning even though we know that the meaning itself does not exist, unless we find it. ...
