Eduardo Diaz - Statement My name is Eduardo DIaz and Iim a Mexican artist residing in the Bay Area since 2001. In my work I express different elements of Mexican culture, while emphasizing its Native American heritage. I incorporate native themes and images, both extant and prehispanic, into my works and combine them with personal feelings, experiences or fears. Although cultural elements are the essence of my art, through them I also like to express political and social opinions. As a Mexican, I feel in touch with the problems at the Mexican-American border, as well as with the issues facing Mexican immigrants. I also like to express the tension between the indigenous and the industrialized worlds, and to analyze the different elements that make up Mexican identity, especially when confronted with life in a different country. My favorite medium is oil painting. I use vivid and deep colors, with which I reflect the light of the Mexican sun. Some of my compositions are figurative, and oscillate between realistic scenes and more elaborated images, with affinity to surrealism. My most recent productions are less figurative and combine the same vivid colors into expressive abstract constructions. Biography My name is Eduardo D...

Stella Rich - My work celebrates and commemorates Lost Moments. We all loose moments constantly throughout our lives especially in the lives of our children with them growing and changing so rapidly. My work memorialises the fragments of our lives that are lost forever. Much of my work is of a traditional nature in that it is realistic to a certain extent. However I express the idea of the picture being a memory by cropping the image to allow the viewer to catch a'glimpse' of the scene being portrayed. Another way that I suggest the idea of the scene portrayed being a memory is to blur and distort the image by dragging a brush through wet paint, using solvents to change the appearance of the paint and experimenting with various different materials and techniques...
James Allman - I use photography, both film and digital, including scanned art, computer software, paint and ink in various combinations or each individually. I like to give a measure of uniqueness to my work by using color, composition and subject matter. ...
Karen Parker - In terms of style I am a Classical Realist. I generally paint with oil, and especially like to use it for portraiture. With some paintings I begin with an imprimatura, for others I use a solid acrylic underpainting, later overpainting with transparent glazes and translucent scumbling and there are times that I paint alla prima. Using these methods, I paint landscapes, still lifes and portraits; painting my subjects from life, as it allows an intimacy that a photograph or a sketch cannot provide. Painting portraits provides me with the opportunity to create a work of art that encompasses beauty and timelessness. I paint with the idea that one day these portraits may become heirlooms, cherished by future generations. ...
Lisa Reinke - Recognize yourself, someone, everyone and no one in my faces - celebrate color in the shape of a nose, the curve of the ears, the mask of the eyes, and the lines of the lips and hair. Most of all remember the humanity in humanity. The human face inspires me. As humans, we respond to its image beyond all others. For all its familiarity, we rarely pause to consider the face as a visual form, something more than the recognition of a friend or an interaction with a stranger. I paint the face in ways to cause the viewer to reconsider its splendor and renew faith in all things human. Colors and sunlight playing across faces remind me of our connection to the universe and symbolize eternal and fleeting moments simultaneously. I love how we recognize and explore human faces for clues to identity and personality. I am happy to be creating my work and hope that my art inspires you to look around and see the world as a vibrant and exciting place where the most amazing patterns are on display all the time. Lisa Reinke ...
Sue Jacobsen - My "artist's eye" seeks both the extraordinary and the ordinarily-overlooked moments in nature, and presents them in a way that allows the viewer to see what I've seen--and loved enough to want to share it. My regional landscapes, painted in oil, capture the rural flavor of the Wood River Valley in Idaho where I've lived and worked for over 30 years. Previously, California coastal areas were my genre. My love of the ocean and its awesome infinity is equaled in the grandeur and peace of the nearby mountains --again, infinite subjects for my paintings. Just as my professional training in graphic design at Art Center School in Los Angeles served me well when I turned my creative skills to easel painting, this then enabled me to move with ease and enthusiasm when sculpture'found me', and I learned to see with new eyes--in 3 dimensions now! My sculptures are figurative, of people or animals, and I seem to have special ability to capture the likeness and personality of my subjects. While I consider myself to be primarily self-taught, I continue to seek out other professional painters and sculptors whose work I admire, with...
Daniel Janssens - "It is the woman's beauty and mystery that have made me paint and sculpt in the first place." The artist, who previously painted only one human figure per painting, has recently begun to represent several figures, and these figures are no longer exclusively women. In sculpture also, the single human figures of the beginning are gradually replaced by intertwined figures, that go by two, by couple, or even by trio or quartet. "Previously, it was the individual that questioned me. Now, increasingly, I paint and sculpt attitudes and relationships." Painting and sculpture are based on different relationships: that between the sculptor-painter and his painting or sculpture, that between colors and shapes, that between the spectator and the work of art, and finally, the possible relationship between the different spectators. "However, I have not become a narrative artist, even if the spectator can invent stories about the human figures they see depicted." - But why only one subject? - Because the more one concentrates on one - and only one - subject, the deeper one can go, and the more style and technique can speak freely. If one always seeks to change subjects, it becomes difficult to specialize in it." It is the...
Durga Kainthola - popular contemporary and historical imagery, blended with fantasy, proffer a path of extensive perennial inspiration of my creative work. By juxtaposing diverse pictorial elements from global sources, newly forged and deeper dimensions of aesthetic and cultural perception are revealed. Here, canvas and paper are not mere surfaces. They are stages upon which theatre takes place; each a stage where drama is visually enacted, is painted. Myraid images, in essence, are metaphorically transformed characters. Whether conscious or sub-concious, the worldly experience becomes an integral part of the actual metamorphosis, rendering a new meaning and depth. Durga Kainthola, 2003...
