Artists Describing Their Art:
Alina Savko - I am a local artist based in Sowerby Bridge, working in acrylics with passion for painting. I take my inspiration from wide range of sources. From walks in a local countryside to dramatic forces of nature. I enjoy using vibrant colours and light in a range of contexts and forms as well as a range of scale from small portraits to wall murals. I like to challenge myself by addressing a variety of subjects from landscapes to portraits and figures to animals in the wild. ...
Glen Viljoen - "Art is the bias essence that prescribes emotional pleasure and displeasure toward all things. In the eye of the beginner there are many stimulants to direct the imagination, to condemn or revere. The tainted eye, mercilessly selective.

Art is all about experience and for me as an artist, it is also about personal growth, the journey. ...
Olesya Novik - I use unique Technology of creation Pictures - Sculptures by successive imposition of Layers acrylic colors and transparent Resin. Layer after a Layer a Picture grows while we will not get three-dimensional Image. An Image does not seem three-dimensional, it is three-dimensional and even has a Shadow. It is possible to see an Object in all Foreshortening like on a hologram. The Creating of one Painting usually takes 1 - 1,5 months. First Time in the World You can see Portrait in original Size made like this! The creation of Pharaoh Face took 3.5 months. The picture has around 90 - 95 Layers. The Process takes so much time, because after the layer colors and then a layer of transparent resin is necessary to wait 1-2 days until the resin hardens. Photo of Paintings done on three Sides, allowing You to see the Difference in Image when the Angle of View changes. ...
