Artists Describing Their Art:

Louise Parenteau - ARTISTIC STATEMENT I studied fine arts at the University Of Quebec In Montreal (1986-1991). I was involved in various artistic activities in which I took a strong stand against injustice, poverty, and social exclusion. My work took shape using different methods of research and observation. I articulated my artistic approach inspired by existential human sufferings. I created portraits of individuals with unusual physical traits, expressions, deformities, attitudes... These characters inspired me to use colour in contrasts and splashes. My aim was to express the life animating the characters by an internal light. For my installations, I used a physical space to transpose socio-political situations and dramatic events. With the barest resources, my intention was to stimulate the interest of the viewer. My material supplies: Acrylic, rubbish, wood, metal, rust, polystyrene panels, personal objects, used clothing, etc. In 1995, I realized that I had reached limits with my artistic approach. I decided to have a period of questioning with the aim of going further in my research in terms of intention and expression. This process enabled me to explore, to experiment with different materials and to reposition myself using sculpture as my main form of expression. Ever...

Daniel Wend - In my work, I've drawn from nature in visceral ways to explore my connection to the natural world. Art is yet another way of discovering new vistas and learning new things about places familiar. Much of my current work is done in oil pastel, which I prefer for thier brilliance and versatility (I use them on a wide variety of surfaces). Oil pastels also allow me to weave back and forth between the disciplines of painting and illustrating. I use up to 10 different types of oil pastel in some of my paintings, because of the variations in softness, opacity or color selection that allows me to build, transform and evolve a work....

Olivia Alexander - The Natural world has always captured my imagination. The rich, red sand of outback Australia, the azure blues of the ocean near where I live, patterns on a tree trunk left behind by peeling bark or the colours of a sunrise playing across the rock faces on the mountains. These are what inspire me to paint. My style? Expressionistic with a touch of the Abstract! I don't paint photo realism but rather an expression of what I see and feel about the subject. I strive to produce creative, expressive and original artworks. I love texture, pattern and colour and the materials I choose reflect this. I use many types of mixed media techniques, some of them specialized and very unique. Layers are built up until I have resolved the image I have in my mind. My hope is to communicate a Place, a Time or Memory that sparks a connection between my art and the viewer. ...

Vasco Kirov - For me painting is a way to convey to others what my inner reality looks like. I guess, that is what most artists are trying to do. This is why my paintings are mostly abstract. I access this inner reality with my eyes closed in quiet and relaxed state or in lucid dreams, which I am blessed to have from time to time. In this personal reality light and colour form structures with astonishing size and grandeur generating emotions and strong desire to share the experience. Sharing however is not easy. It is like to listen to the most amazing music and then try to talk about it. I am not sure that I will ever be able to express these experiences in full, but every painting brings me a bit closer....

Then it were CDA air defense (antiaircraft-rocket armies of antiaircraft defense of the USSR). Everything that remains to me in the inheritance from that life, it is a habit to look in the sky. Especially at night when Sirius the bright blinking reminds that I am still live. The present. Thoughts about Eternal. Question statement - to live or not to live, certainly, tends - to LIVE. But secret of death, to be exact a question on life after death, to be exact, that is behind a side, eternally didn't give rest to people at all times. Including, can in a greater degree, than it is accepted, this question didn't give rest and me in the beginning and continues to force to toss and turn, to this day. Therefore I as though and not the artist, and am faster the drawing researcher of an essence of life. Naturally, the overall objective to reveal this secret. It generates me here already soon as twenty years. The future. To come nearer, look for new ways, to stir Real, to find out unprecedented, to slightly open a veil and to look through an eternity...
