Artists Describing Their Art:

Eli Gross - "Aspire to happiness, to calm a tempestuous soul, towards serenity "- that's the way Eli Gross articulates the nature of his art. In his youth he was a student of the famous artists Jacob (Yoyo) El Hanani and Gabi Ben Zano. Recently after half a century of a demanding carrier, Eli has finally realized his age old dream. He studies art at Avni institute and is an active artist, painter and sculptor. Eli's longing for happiness is molded into the harmonious movement of his dancer characters. The same ideas are also conveyed in a silent embrace or pastoral landscape. The underpinning notion is one of harmonies stasis and nirvana. A longing for absolute happiness and tranquility for a turbulent soul, for moments of serenity facilitated by silent embrace and harmonious movement of two unique souls and two intimate bodies in synchronized flow merging in body and soul. An interesting path leads Eli's work that starts as a drawing, then a burgeoning imagery, maturing into a painting and sometimes a multi-dimensional sculpture all born of a single idea. ...

Steve Meyerholz - I should have never became an artist. For years my attempts at writing graffiti were ridiculed my work laughed at and dismissed as garbage. I have been fascinated with art since I first saw graffiti. I never gave up and practiced daily until a style emerged. Graffiti has opened my mind to other art forms. I currently paint canvasses and murals and draw portraits with various media. I have also been a tattooist for 2 decades. I get my inspiration from the way Im feeling at that particular moment. I try to incorporate things I see or experience on a regular basis whenever possible while Im producing a piece of art. I will never stop creating and always try learning new techniques. I was determined to be an artist and it has led me here. Lets see what the future holds. I am always interested in collaborating with other artists to see what kind of creative chemistry can be discovered. ...
