Artists Describing Their Art:
Cris Orfescu - NANOART I create Art from Science using Technology. My art is a reflection of the technological movement. I consider NanoArt to be a more appealing and effective way to communicate with the general public and to inform people about the new technologies of the 21st Century raising the public awareness of Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives. Nanotechnology deals with the synthesis, manipulation and characterization of matter at the sub-100 nanometers level. Nanotechnology is still an emerging area although commercial products are already on the market. I bring the small world in front of my audience by visualizing with a scanning electron microscope the nanolandscapes and the nanosculptures I create by physical and chemical processes. I paint and manipulate digitally the monochromatic electron images and print them on canvas or fine art paper with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time (giclee prints). This way, the scientific images become artworks and could be showcased for a large audience to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable. ...
Bukhina Maya - "The beauty of surrounding world has always inspired to creativity. I see and feel not only greatness of nature, but something that overflow me, causing the strongest and sincerest feelings that force me to create, to paint. My paintings are a mirror of my soul. They reflect need to transfer to canvas my thoughts, fantasies, mood and attitude to everything that surround me. I try as much as possible to transfer into paintings these artistic impulses and enthusiastic status, not to miss these moments, as next time something will change and something new will appear". ...
Jolie Bonnette - A statement... well.... I don't do this for you or anyone. I do this for me. I create because, if I don't, I will shrivel up and die. This is what I live and breathe for. Do I care if you like what I make? No. I don't. If you like it, that's fine. If you don't, that's equally fine. People do buy these strange things I make. That makes me happy, but it's not the core reason for doing it. I'm not looking to be famous. I'm too much of a loner geek for that. I just want to make art and put it out there where people who like it can buy it. ...
Minh Hang - Through life struggle I was able to understand the profound meaning of my surrounding. Each experienced take me to a different level of awareness and a vision with wiser perspective. Art was a mean for me to coped with all the hardship and struggle in my life, each time i pickup a paint brush i went in to a trend that take me deep down to the cord of my spirituality until i feel my hand was guided by a super being, at this stage i found my sense of security. The process of creating is like a journey to discover a new self and a new world. I like to provoked the deep sense of my emotion where i can create mood that give me the excitement and energy in the process. to me, I found that black and white visually give me a pure sense of reality and raw emotion like a documentary told the story the way it is. with just a simple medium such as black charcoal, ink and acrylic to convey an idea on to a canvas through light and shadow, form and composition to form a visually excitement finish piece of art work. ...
Inge Van Der Meulen - Somehow mankind needs the expression of art; art may provide hope to the ones who need it, it can embrace and support the heart of the ones that don't feel understood any other way, art can bring us passed the limit of words... Kunst kan een gevangen ziel bevrijden, het kan de limiet van woorden overschrijden... Your comments, statements etc. will always be interesting te me, and I hope that my expessions at least will bring you the joy of watching......
Dan Cope - I have painted all my life and never took lessons.It just comes out and onto the canvas.Initially,I paint for my own satisfaction.People see what I made and like it,sometimes buy it,so I want to do more and let others enjoy it.To me,a good painting is something pleasing to the eye and can be viewed indefinitely,always looking fresh and new.i love the way colors and shapes work together to produce an exciting image.It doesn't matter what the image is about.What matters is the good feeling it gives the viewer when it is looked at.Use your imagination to explore and interpret as you choose.That is the beauty of abstract art,you can experience it as you wish.I like to write haikus for each piece and put them in the description box....
Kathi Day - I'm currently a stay at home artist, with a lot of medical bills. Two cats currently own my husband and I, although one technically belongs to my sister. Their names are Chowski and Callie. They eat a lot of cruchies. Buy pictures!!...
Jack Hill - All of my sculptural work is bronze, cast in the "lost wax" technique. Besides sculpting the original work, I am hands on with all the phases of the casting process, including the molds, waxes, metal, and application of the patinas. My foundry experience allows me to ensure the quality and integrity of each idea, from inspiration to final presentation. The ideas are born from observation of the human existence, in all its splendor and absurdity. The addition of my own whimsy and uncommon approach brings about an expression of life in the permanence of bronze. People are only one part of the whole planet and my anthropomorphic works are an exploration of the blending of man into various parts of the environment. With attention to anatomic detail and a tongue-in-cheek twist I wish to stimulate the imagination and, maybe, tickle the funny bone. Questions? Call me at 305/240-3238 A new line of work has been added that I call "Body Armor". The human form is treated as if skin was an armor that could be put on or removed as needed. If it had been lost long ago and recently rediscovered, what would it look like. ...
Leif Mårdh - To paint has always been a challenge to me. My uncle was a painter and my father was a sculptor, carving in wood. I learned a lot from them. Although I was very indeterminate as a young how to express my- self on canvas and develop my painting, how to chose style and media. I was a great admirer of the expressionists as well as of surrealists like Salvador Dali. Still very unsure of where is my homeyard in the enormous cityblocks of art I let the brush be conducted by in- fluence of my emotions. Sometimes resulting in creatures with yelling faces in a mess of colours, sometimes in themes in abstemious reticence. ...
Ivan Kosta - My mission? To give some resemblance of our lives, to touch our fears,concerns, evoke dreams and give hope in time of dispair... ...
David Rocky Aguirre - ************** To me, Art seems to be a universal language. It can be used to portray something beautiful and uplifting, or to portray a tragedy to motivate and move people to act. To motivate them to help in some way as in Picasso's "Guernica 1937". I have a wide range in creative interests, from most forms of painting- oil to watercolor and on to print forms, sculpture, photography, film and computer animation. Contact me for any creative projects you may have....
