Artists Describing Their Art:

Peter Alan - p e t e r a l a n p a i n t i n g s peteralanart.com Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and sculpture all come together into one application. For Alan's style, it's tricky to box-in defining what is a painting -- or a drawing. On paper, a plywood panel, or on something other than, his wide-range of content goes through a vigorous and rigorous process; for his process develops unique textured surfaces of engaging composed imagery. Layering ink-jet printed images with oil and plaster, these works have a wondrous sensibility. Subsequently Alan's work exemplifies unconventionality and experimentation from beguiling non-replicable affects. In Alan's more recent "space" series, he appropriates images of his personal and virtual female acquaintances. These images launch inspiration for him to move his processes throughout additive and reductive techniques of exploration and invention. From multi-layering content along with sanding, scraping and wiping, many of the images do not survive for legibility. For him, it's ok; for it's a set up for the surfaces' development. One of several underlying metaphors: media facts and information often get filtered, favoritism, covered and/or lost. With the ...

Larsen Lena - At the vanity, chasing the dream that is often just a mirage, tired with stress and permanent search, at the stream of rushing days and years we sometimes stand motionless for a while seeing something beautiful: open flower, spring dusk, the picture that suddenly attracted our attention. It is possible that such abstractions and revelations are the main meaning of art. After all, the artist's brush can really fix the time, place, and mood, and capture for a moment our mind, tossing between past and future, and thus awake our feelings and thoughts......

Monica Malbeck - I was born and raised in Romania, attending art school there. I graduated in 1974 from a highly successful art pilot program at age 18. Where I was offered exposure to all facets of art from visual communications to industrial design. This was followed by a successful career in fashion design with clients throughout Europe, U.S., and Japan. In 1990 I moved to the United States, and in 1996 I was introduced to digital media falling in love instantly with its versatility. I have been exploring digital design since then, trying to mix digital color and the illusions of texture and shape to capture fleeting, momentary thoughts and my feelings. My style varies depending on the subject being captured, as I always try to let the subject dictate the style rather than try to impose a repetitive style format. I have retired to Hawaii very early from a career as a fashion consultant, and decided to focus on art. My very first submission of my artwork to an international competition in Italy, was chosen among the finalists. I am a self-taught digital artist, and I like to explore a broad range of subjects. In my gallery you will...

Edward Tabachnik - Edward Tabachnik Through all my works you will find that my attitude toward color and light combines tradition of impressionism with various surrealistic situations. Working on illustrations for Kafka's novels, I was looking for a symbolic image of a mystical town. I found it in Gaudi's "Sagrada Familia". Almost on each of my paintings you can see my "signature"- flying phantasmagoria tower, which has become for me a living entity, procreating itself, connecting The Past with The Future. Fascinated with the theory of Black Holes and the origin of The World is also reflected in many paintings in the form of "Singularity", through which Time passes, connecting The Past with The Future. I was always attracted to mystery of Kabbalah, and to other Jewish teachings. Many of my works are related to these themes. After seeing the destroyed Synagogue in Berlin, I've "recreated" it in my painting, and also dedicated a number of my works to Jewish History. In my works I try to blend my fantasy with sometimes well known, sometimes created architectural details. My schooling was both - in architecture and painting. My love for architecture can be seen through many of my works. There is ...

Erin Emily Robinson - Art is such a beautiful thing, it allows us to express ourselves and to enjoy life. It is such a great gift to see the world through an artistic perspective. I just express the beauty I see in everyday life. There is such amazing art I see everyday, so different but all of it so touching and inspiring. I just hope to discover more about myself through though my paintings. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my paintings, feel free to drop me a line with any comments or questions. Thanks!...

Laura Schoonover - I am an artist because I have always been driven to work with my hands - driven to create objects of art, utility, culinary delight or botanical beauty. I am happiest when I am creating and embellishing life. My artwork is an exploration of themes in history, symbolism, music, dance, spirituality, feminism and self. Each piece becomes a fusion of what I feel, think, read and experience transformed into the tangible. ...

Bodo Gsedl - In my works - portraits of individuals, surroundings and music - my goal is to catch what can not be seen at a glance. What is behind the image of a person? How can I make music visible? My art has to be explored. There is always something behind the first impression. ...

Grace Liberator - Grace Liberator was born and raised in New England. After traveling and working in Europe she settled back on the East Coast. She continually develops her style and technique switching between the more direct to the abstract, at times studying at the Art Students League. She often uses personal photography to help capture the essence of the natural world. She also uses the emotional experience to capture the inner human spirit in her portraiture through both traditional and surreal imaging. All artworks

Grace Liberator - Yoli Salmona - I paint to capture an experience, a feeling, and strive to share it through colour, form, and light. AERIAL LANDSCAPES It's a different beauty from the air, more poignant and more objective in its apparent immobility. Whether formal or natural, the landscapes seen from the air become become more abstract. I can playfully re-order and move around details and elements of reality- mostly trees and shadows- like tesserae in a mosaic. PORTRAITS To portray is for me to express an unequivocal presence, a feeling for an actual person. Sometimes, there can be an ambivalence, an invitation to a question, particularly fascinating when painting young people. For me, a successful portrait has an element of timelessness, while revealing something about the subject's present circumstance. BACKGROUND Born in France, I was a child who was drawing all the time. But for various reasons, I was unable to attend Art school growing up, and became a clothes/costume designer for ten years before studying (section Communication Visuelle) at the Paris Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. My aim then was to reach a wide audience trough Print, and Paris Art Publisher Flammarion gave me the first of a...

Mary Ann Archibald - Some of my first memories of image making began when my sister handed me one of those little 110-film cameras. I can still recall the scent of those blue cube flashes that popped and rotated, like soldiers, ready for the next shot. Like many artists, I am primarily self-taught, although I took a couple of community courses and signed up for classes at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. These courses helped begin to unravel some of the mystery behind the various qualities and character of paint, along with the language of art. Over the past decade or so, I have worked as a journalist, writer, photographer and editor for local and national media as well as in corporate communications. Telling a story in images is a natural outflow of this work. I am proud to say that over the past few years, my original artwork in portraiture has won awards. I have an arts degree from Acadia University and a journalism degree from University of Kings College. I was born and raised in Truro and now reside in Halifax, a life-long resident of Nova Scotia....

Dwayne Mitchell - Art or Portrait painting to me is to capture a moment in time, weather it happy or sad, it can hold a special feeling for ages, and bring to memory what was going through your mind at that exact time. it can make you cry or laugh... like watching a movie with no words...and that is what I want people to get out of my work....

Dario Raffaele Orioli - A painting, statue or other work of art speaks best for itself, without superfluous words, but to say a few words about my opinion about art. Art allows us to live, differently at different periods stages of life. Different already in character, temperament of each individual. Through art I seek man Of course, many painters run away from looking for a man because it is a painstaking job, so it is easier for them to end up in abstractions, concepts, etc. under the pretext that it is modern. Abstraction is a trip to the unknown, but after many years of such a trip to the unknown, one gets tired and realizes that he needs the peace and stability he can find in the knowledge of the world around him, which is right outside of him and if he knows how to look, he can think through it enjoy it here and now There is a saying that every living being is a snapshot of nature towards man, this can be applied to art ....Any abstraction is an artists shot at figuration.... Of course it can be the other way around, but what a world this would be if it were ...

Ellen Rosenberg - aEURoeWhen you approach something to photograph, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then donaEURtmt leave until you have captured its essence.aEUR Minor White Art is neither a profession nor a hobby. Art is a way of being. It is an expression of the human spirit and an integral part of all beings. My creative passion is expressed through the art of photography, allowing for a vocabulary of imagery that is my own. These photographs arise out of my own spirituality, a practice of mindfullness and being fully awake to the present moment. As my journey has taken me deeper into the study of Dharma I have recognized that the camera becomes an extension of my being. I bring the camera to my eyes and aEURoefeelaEUR the image that appears in front of me with a heightened awareness. An opening to the world precisely as it is, offering up all the richness and beauty that is present within this moment of time. I seek to create an intimacy with my photographs, allowing for the viewer to feel the art form, not as a two dimensional visual archive of a moment, but to...
