Artists Describing Their Art:

Greg Gierlowski - Light has always played important role in my creations. Light comming through translucent artwork interests me and fascinates me the most. Therefore I turned into glass and started to experiment with translucent creations. My admiration for Art Nouveau artists that had created a lot of beautiful everyday-use objects of art resulted in creation of applied arts' objects such as art-lamps. When one has backlight at ones disposal, there's whole new field of artistic expresion - not only on one front surface of glass panel but on two, or even four or more, when two or three layers of glass can be used as a kind of sandwich that builds deeper into artwork for 3D effects. That's what I'm working on now and what's seems to attract international viewers & art-critics more and more now-a-days, to the point of of achieving latest awards and honours ( mainly from Italy....

Tirzo Martha - The material doesn't need to be filled with words. It speaks for itself. It is our consciousness that has to translate it for us. My work is a loyal mirror of our societies, a reflection of a fragment from the thin line between fiction and reality. Tirzo Martha 2004...

Michael Leyton - In his MIT Press book, Symmetry, Causality, Mind (630pages) and his book in Springer-Verlag, A Generative Theory of Shape (550pages), Michael Leyton has elaborated an extensive theory of why art has such a powerful impact on the human mind. This results in an ability to intensify the content of artworks through an increased understanding of compositional organization, that Leyton has provided in his scientific work, which includes his mathematical foundations for geometry. For example, theorems of his, such as the Symmetry-Curvature Duality Theorem, which are now used in over 40 disciplines including many branches of medicine and engineering, also explain the human perceptual response to art-works. Not only has he demonstrated this in his lengthy published analyses of classical and modern artists, but he has also demonstrated that it is possible to surpass the intensity of these artists. This he has done by using the theory developed in his books in the creation of his own artworks - his paintings, his published architectural designs, and the published scores of his musical compositions. The portfolio at the present site is currently under construction. While this is in progress, the reader can gain an extensive introduction to Leyton's artistic ...

T. Wiklund - Over the last 30 years I have worked in painting, mixed media, video, collage, assemblage, installations and photography. I continue to work in several media over the same periods - In the recent past it has included digital photography, assemblage, and oil pastel drawings on paper. The digital work in photography is new to me but I have been a photographer for 40 years as well as a traditional collage artist.So I have combined two of my interest in some of the newer photos... My work shown here in assemblage is in general reflective of the times we live in with some references to the ritualism and mysticism of tribal cultures. While the drawings I see as more as'memories of some experience or thought' but like all memories they lie in the past and present.... ...

Amy Wetterlin - I strive to exalt the human spirit through capturing composition, structures (organic and non)and repeating patterns. The patterns and forms create an abstract while maintaining balance and movement of life force. Life either moves or is stagnant...it's up to you. Thanks for looking! Cheers Amy...

Sylvia Volpi - PHILOSOPHY: To be an artist is to be creative, autonomous, conscious, bold... It is to dare and allow yourself the delirium, reach the imaginary, the fantasy, the pleasure, the beauty ... To wish for the real and to wish for the impossible. It's to open wide, through your work, desires, fights and sorrows in a disclosure. The creative process is the product of the hand , the mind, the imagination and of the work, which is motivated by the search for a conquer: THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR OWN SELF. ...

Giorgos Nouvakis - My work till today is based on the effort to integrate contradictory elements into an independent organism, allowing to emerge at one and the same time, the individual balance between materials, textures and forms, at the limits between figuration and abstraction, painting and the third dimension, emptiness and plenitude. The result, although generally three-dimensional, leaves an intense pictorial sensation, with thematic references, that by turn are self-annulled, being integrated into the composition as purely plastic elements. The use of recycled materials, sometimes also personal objects, is owed to their condition as elements that possess a history of work, suffering and life, converted this way into high-valued emotional objects. The forms and plastic values arise from the destruction-reconstruction process that is let to be viewed clearly, contrasted with the posterior "clean" and decisive interventions. The material is let to narrate its story through volumes, empty spaces, textures and its own tonal and color gradations, con discreet interventions that respect this decision. Undoubtedly, the means, the motivation and the conclusions of this search, treat directly with the social sensibility and attitude of the times....
