Paper Art

Artists Describing Their Art:

Toni Hudson - Communication through art and my essence of beauty. Capturing the shape and color is my plan every time I create a piece of art. Spontaneously maneuvering my painting tools; paper towels, over-size brushes, paint markers, and many other materials. The forms and color that miraculously come through are simply on the spot- with no planning. I want to give the viewer an experiment of exhilarating adventure, an exciting form to take in their mind to enjoy. To me is a great drama in creating a world everyday with inexhaustible energy and I paint again. The massive dark wave of depression, anxiety and confusion, that the daily stresses of life bring, suddenly stop. Painting and creating is no doubt deeply healing and rewarding.

For me, the process of creating vital art is mainly a search and contact with the mystical or it could be the real experience of the mystical world. It is the way of discovering true beauty. The creative process itselfe brings me a sense of fulfillment and that is what I find to be so exciting and enjoyable. An artist should always strive for perfection because the perfection is the atribute of beauty that is the path he has chosen. Nothing should stop him until he can taste the nectar of perfect masterpiece. Then, he can fall in love not only with his art, but also the unseen world from where the real art manifest itself.
