Artists Describing Their Art:
John Haworth - John Haworth's limited edition digital fine art prints, done on both paper and canvas, have proved extremely popular with both corporate and private clients. John has an extensive amount of work including landscape, figurative and abstract. Printmaking has long been his chosen medium because of the potential it offers for the exciting exploration of delicate surface properties. The digital print medium he finds particularly attractive as a conduit for the idea of the vibrant transience of reality. In part, 'the medium is the message'. Many of his prints have been made as part of his practice- led research into creativity in digital fine art, funded by grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Board in the UK. His prints incorporate a new photo-ethnographic project on 'The Way We are Now'. Some of his work can be seen in the gallery and on the site at www.creativity-embodiedmind.com ...
Alla Alevtina Volkova - Throughout my whole life I always found myself drawing or painting when i have free time. I was always especially attracted to oil paintings, because they seemed to be alive. Painting has always been my hobby and I feel like it captures me best. I always try my absolute best to convey the beauty and subtlety of our world, nature and life, to capture the most amazing moments in life on a canvas...
Yeshaya Dank - My watercolor art explores everything that is beautiful in this world...People, places, emotions, experiences, and opportunities. - Yeshaya Dank. I want beauty to be accessible to everyone, and for there to be the understanding that beauty exists everywhere, all the time, you just need to search for it and you will be dearly rewarded I paint the uncharted territory, the places and things that Ive never seen painted like this before or from this angle. I try to put many hidden gems into one painting, just waiting for you to discover. Showing how everything has beauty, its just waiting to be discovered. Same with my artworks with time you will discover new and beautiful details on each painting, which were previously hidden in plain sight...
Sergey Belikov - All my pictures are autobiographical ones. To express myself, my own attitude to the world aEUR" just from these positions I touch with a nature, is it representation of the human person, work with landscape or still life. Each of them stores in itself its own world, world unique, mysterious and mute. Therefore the art for me is not entertainment and hack, but instrument for expression of the feelings, reflections by language of painting, by deep plastic of colour. And the nature is perceived not as the purpose for study of an environment and subjects aEUR" but it serves as cause for my thought, and then born means and language for expression of its essence. And as the final result - each concrete thing represented on a canvas, turns into any image. Only such approach to work with picture, I think, can influence with the extra emotional force on the spectator. To this it would be desirable to add, that most vicious and terrible for the artist is an indifference and rest, that means selfcomplacency in work. It results the artist to drab and formless, both work and author himself. During work with a picture itaEURtms important for me the conditions of ...
Anyck Alvarez Kerloch - I was born in France and at an early age moved to Canada where I spent my formative years. I now live in Spain. I work on several pieces at a time. When I get stuck on one, when I see there is something not working properly or something is lacking but I just canA't figure out what it is, I let it rest for a while a few days, a few weeks or perhaps months and move on to another. When I do come back to any of those recessed paintings I might be lucky and find a way out to make them work and other times they just have to be discarded. I donA't throw them away because I find that many can be used as a base or background for a new painting. The old is then integrated in the new work. I consider myself mainly a figurative painter but I do feel the need to wander to the abstract and I usually use the drawing technique for that. The process is what I like best , especially at the beginning when there is nothing to lose or at the very end when the work is ...

Ellen Spijkstra - I am not interested in telling a story. I will not try to give a complete overview. I hope to make people more aware of the beautiful images around them; the interesting shapes of the weathered (coral) stones on the beach, how the reflection of a ship colors the water, a detail of a monument, or the pattern of a leaf. I am fascinated by material. The process of erosion and damage. The contrast between skins. I make use of this in rhythmic compositions or forms. In my photographs you can see I am a ceramist at heart. ...
