Pawan Sharma - Personification of thought impregnated into the womb of Human Psychology. The subject which I have selected is mainly based on human behavior or one can say Rasas of Life, their generation and projection. The generation in human through cultural, personal and environmental influences, which I want to project in my painting and Drawings by incorporating living and non living materialistic objects to depict virtual beauty. My few works are done on the same subject and I wanted to proceed in this path further. The process required communication with different people of different areas, their social and cultural presentation, relation with surrounding, behaviour communication Body Language. By modifying their gestural language feelings into more immaculate thoughts by giving them visual effect through my colour, canvas and brushes. It is an interesting method to present something which is intangible transformed into tangible form. Now which is perceptive in form, converted into commonly seen things in surroundings and further more interesting is to relate two different things on some idea. My work need continue development form beginning till end. It has own modified routes, meander, curves and bends, can be found in course of journey. Thank you. Pawan Kumar Sharma ...

Mary Zeman - in 1997, I began to paint after I had brain surgery to remove a benign brain tumor from the right side of my brain. I was recovering from surgery, and out of the blue, I called my mom and asked her to take me to buy some paint and brushes. This was the first time I ever painted in my life. While I was growing up, I was never exposed to art and just didnt know anything about it, though I had always wanted to learn more. I began painting on wood, paper, newspaper, anything I could find, then I started to paint on canvas. When I went back to my job in television, people looked at my art on the walls of my cubicle, and some people encouraged me to go further with it. I would work all day, then come home and paint at night, and looked forward to the time I would be painting. In October of 2000, I decided to leave my job and make a go of being a full-time artist. Everyday, I learn something new about art, and I love making art. The biggest compliment I can get is when adults look at ...
Randy Sprout - I grew up in a small town in Northern Iowa, played football, coached the swimming team, and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in printmaking studying under Mauricio Lasansky. I then went into the Army and ended up pulling 13 months in Korea on the DMZ. Coming out of Korea I entered UCLA and earned a MA and MFA in printmaking while studying under Jan Stussy and Stanton Mac-Donald Wright. The next year after the funds dried up on my Fulbright Award to Portugal, because of the Angola War, I was lucky to get hired by USC where I taught printmaking as a junior faculty member. I also replaced professors at UCLA when they went on sabaticals, and taught one year at Pierce College. In 1977 I tried Real Estate, you know just for the summer, but by fall I had purchased Century 21 Hollywood Inc. and had a new vocation going. Now 31 years into real estate, I'm coming full circle and starting to paint little quick studies 9X12. I'm using just 1/2 inch brushes and 5 colors. I intentionally limit my time to 2 hours after which I stop and throw ...
Malcolm Tuffnell - Malcolm Tuffnell Is a tremendous talent in contemporary figurative painting.His works exist between a realistic drawn representation of the female figure and an abstract use of impasto and color. He has been exploring the possibilities of oil paint and pastel for over 30 years, with particular attention paid to how color layers interact with eachother; specifically how thin overglazes of a strong color, for example phthalo blue or rose red, can change the character of the paint or pastel underneath them in unexpected ways, producing many new colors while neutralizing others into grays. He has chosen the female form as the subject of his paintings for its beauty,sensuality and historical precedent. He uses the fluidity of oil to express the sensuality of nude skin. Many of his works derive inspiration from the frequent opera and ballet performances he attends, such as Madame Butterfly and The Nutcracker ballet. However, he does not intend to illustrate a story explicitly but instead to suggest a more vague emotional narrative. Education/Accomplishments From 1977-1979 Mr. Tuffnell attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and studied with noted teacher Gary Brown; when there he traveled to Europe, where he was inspired to ...

My desire is to convey more than just a physical likeness but to capture the true essence of unique individuals spirit...Annette Broy ...
Paul Ygartua - THERE IS AN ENERGY, A HIGH WHEN CREATING When you are influenced by everything around you, whether it isaEUR" the people in the world, their culture or nature itselfaEUR"it is emotional and personal. It is these emotions that one tries to aEUR"expressaEUR"an inside view of your thoughts, your feelings and your aEUR"ideas.aEUR" The next painting will be the best. It has been an ongoing struggle for perfection aEUR" being able to break through mental and physical barriers, pushing the envelope to realizing and developing that vision until ultimately a style is born. Then taking that style and working it until it cannot be developed further and only then moving on to adapt this to new ideas, taking you on a journey of versatility and determination to the next painting. I am always looking to improve on each work so as to fine tune my coordination between body, mind and spirit with emphasis on reaching the point whereby my hands almost are moving without consciously guiding them. Speed is an integral part of the process as it forces one to not dwell on exactitude rather it forces a continuous flow of inspiration and passion. My concept of painting is the ...
Robert Pelles - As an award-winning practitioner of Hungarian commercial graphic art (a career he forsake after 20 years of owning his own successful design firm in order to commit himself solely to painting), Pelles understands and delights in using the idiom of abstract forms. His paintings tell stories about people. Even his houses-- memory scraps on Robert's' never-land landscapes -- come to vividly throbbing life in the absence of figurative forms. The conceptual quality of Pelles' art, his superior drawing skills, concordant use of color and structural harmony have made him one of the most sought-after Central European artists today. ...
