Artists Describing Their Art:
Alexander Sadoyan - My paintings are inspired from the human life in conjunction with landscape of nature's abstract color-forms.With association of color and shapes,I strive to communicate my feelings and convey inner-personal emotions.Memories,experiences are the essence of my esthetical awareness which find visual language of there own inseparable from the future and exists into absolution....
Christo Kasabov - My approach can be described as a New, Conceptual Expressionism. I am using a vast alchemy of materials composed and distributed across the surface in defiance of the very notion of moderation, rationality and order. In my paintings you can see layers of sculptural acrylic structure in which I engrave signs and symbols, numbers and words, inspired from the heritage of the ancient civilizations. My inspiration also comes from the language and the movement of the perfection and beauty of the human body. I use collages from wood, metal pieces or household objects to accomplish and enrich the abstract composition until I achieve the special environment in which everything takes on an artistic language and a philosophical reincarnation, like a trip beyond the horizon towards the exceptional feeling of the material and nonmaterial. The sign in the abstract is both concept and dynamic expression of my spiritual and inner life. It is the leap beyond the realm of what we can see into the realm of the imagination rooted in the human soul. Through the use of evocative color intense dimensional abstractions and architectural symbols, my art reflects the often difficult personal exploration and discovery of my inner spirit. ...
Selin Melek Aktan - God created world from fire and water.Then looked at the earth,he thought it was looking very empty and made human. TO HAVE A MORE FUN He put the colours on his palette and painted world with them. HE GAVE US THIS EARTH AS A PRESENT Human liked his present and they started to dance GOD LOOKED AT HIS ART He enjoyed what he did. I am a very independent person and probably my paintings are too. I don't paint because of the trend, or mode, I paint because something or somebody fascinates me. It could be nature, a face, a story, an event, colors (especially, I adore strong colors ), a song, an object, my feelings, my thoughts, my dreams: never ending possibilities of improbability. I definitely love beauty. I am trying to express my personal sense of beauty and truth in my paintings.So every painting is different. There is not only one style in which I like to work .I traveled to the four corners of the earth, and each place I visited added to my desire for unique artistic expression.Wherever I went, I found new influences directing my brush strokes or guiding my hands ...
David Fedeli - "I believe that as an artist, it is not my purpose to dictate what the viewer sees on the canvas, but rather to pose a question that causes them to seek an answer within themselves. Each individual brings their own life experiences into the decision, and for each of them the meaning is truly unique. My passion lies in reaching that inner self, and drawing it into, and out of, my art. My goal is to create a moment that touches their soul."...
Will Kellermann - Willemine Kellermann, who autographs her paintings with Will Kellermann or WK for short, has been active as a professional artist for more than 30 years. Her work differentiates itself from others due to its adventure-like style and technique; she commands the subject and uses her materials as she sees fit. Most well-known are her'silkcolors', which are flowing paintings on silk giving an extra dimension in the way the light falls on them. In her oils, watercolours and pastels, she also demonstrates her strength in use of colour, never hard or cool, but rather vivid and full of warmth. Connoisseurs and critics often make comparisons with the great impressionists of the past, particularly her landscapes in oil or her intensive pastels of models. Will Kellermann senses forms and colours as a pleasure in life and knows how to convey this in her paintings. A painting made by Will Kellemann uplifts your mood and is gratifying for your soul. This is why such a painting will never bore you; it provides access to a romantic adventure that takes the viewer to a world of one's most beautiful dreams. Kellermann paitings hang everywhere from New York (Los Angeles) to ...
Bukhina Maya - "The beauty of surrounding world has always inspired to creativity. I see and feel not only greatness of nature, but something that overflow me, causing the strongest and sincerest feelings that force me to create, to paint. My paintings are a mirror of my soul. They reflect need to transfer to canvas my thoughts, fantasies, mood and attitude to everything that surround me. I try as much as possible to transfer into paintings these artistic impulses and enthusiastic status, not to miss these moments, as next time something will change and something new will appear". ...
Diamantis Stagidis - I have not studied in any school of art, because the painting is passion and this is not taught. I do not consider myself self -taught but self educated. I assume that Caravaggio and Rembrand are my teachers. I have studied forestry in the university. The station of my work is my painting " did Rembrand knows Altamira ?" at 2002. Looking at this painting, someone could see the " "night patrol" of rembrand painted on a rock surface of a cave, someone else could see an abstract painting with many colors here and there that luckily resulted in that classic piece of art (as, according to the theory of chaos, a chimpanzee pressing randomly the keyboard of a typewriter has the possibility to write Shakespeare ) some other could see a detrited cave painting of Altamira, which when rembrand faced it with its mat colors, he painted his classical work. I was puzzled for months why the "night patrol" was so perfect piece of artwork? It was not, of course, because Rembrand painted nicely 20 - 30 people. But because of the perfect lines, colors, excellent light, everything on it was wisely painted in a perfect way with the right quantities in the space. ...
Ajit Deswandikar - To begin with, as an artist I always has an inclination towards anything new that was going on around me, which gave me an inspiration to use a different concepts for my paintings.

These paintings are new series which represent a throughout motion and a pictorial representation of exploring individualities. The moment captured on canvas is magnificent journey of simplicity and mesmerizing experience of life. There is however a strong undercurrent of emotion, sensuality ant passion emphasizing on modern globalization in digital age that give immense pleasure. There is simple pleasure of life that depicts bold statements like a new era woman or an innocent smile like a girl on a swing .. At a glance you will perceive a transformation of forms, a glamorous word, and a winning desire .a desire to strive for the magnificent journey in incomparable moving world I have tried to showcase all trends of a traditional as well as modern advancing technology in a sensual manner ...
Derek Dey - Many times I am asked where ideas come from. There's never been any difficulty with that, because they arose one by one in almost linear fashion. The full idea for a painting would emerge in my mind as a complete mental picture somewhere towards the end of the painting I was working on before. From this, I would jot down a clear thumbnail image and pretty much work from that alone. Looking back on it, it seems to me the subconscious was prompting this process in an effort to build wholeness out of chaos within me. Almost like the process of art itself. I am in Europe painting writing and working up some 3D stuff. Caio! ...
