Artists Describing Their Art:

Denise Dalzell - Painting. Illustration. Expressionism. Pop Art. Modern. Realism and, occasionally, a bit of Abstraction. My current work centers on my consideration of how we respond to each other, the stories that develop between us and around us, and how our collective stories reflect on and influence us individually. How our stories bounce off each other and combine to create new stories. My paintings are illustrations of the scenes that I encounter during my travels abroad and in daily life so, some scenes are more sweeping than others. How do we, as people of differing backgrounds, cultures, and experiences interact with each other Are we different people in a crowd than when alone How do we fit in or stand out where we find ourselves at any given moment, in any given story Stories are everywhere, and thereAC/a,!a,,C/s no predicting what theyAC/a,!a,,C/ll reveal. Body language, movement, color, contrast combine to illustrate my scenes of interaction between people and within environments. The excitement of being a part of something as unifying as a protest, the sense of adventure that comes from starting out with no particular destination, intimate moments with those we love and those we discover in the big events...

C. A. Hoffman - For me, my artwork is very personal. It reflects a lot about how I am feeling at any given time and place. I feel that art has to be on this personal level to completely capture how the artist is feeling daily, or trying to convey a certain thought or emotion at that particular moment. We all, at one time or another try to express our thoughts or ideas, whether it is to others or just to ourselves, by words, actions, ideas or pictures. If we are sucessful in this attempt, I think it shows through in our everyday work or art. I believe that one is either born to create art naturally or by learning. For me, I feel that I was born with this wonderful gift, and I try to improve upon it every day. In my photos and art, I hope to show how everyday objects and nature can capture our imaginations and feelings. Sometimes I work with an image to improve it, inhance it, or just to fuel the imagination. I truly hope this shows in all of my art. ...

Paulo Medina - Para miA, el arte, ha sido como una pequeA+-a barca en donde he cruzado muchas veces el mar. Una barca fragil y pequeA+-a, sin embargo, capaz de cruzar hacia grandes horizontes. La barca ha sido un instrumento util, pero nada mas... For me, art has been like a small boat in which Ive crossed the sea many times. A fragile and small boat, yet capable of sailing towards vast horizons. The boat has been a useful tool, but nothing more...La pintura es poesia silenciosa MaimonidesArtistic experience, as a spectator, and then, more directly, as an artist, has meant for me the possibility of transcending and reaching certain spaces that are intangible, but lived daily. As a creator, to be in front of a blank canvas or a digital image to be manipulated, is to be faced with a challenge that of translating to the language of forms, textures and colors something that has not yet been conceptualized, but that exists somewhere and that I desire to capture, expressing it through those materials and tools at my disposal. It thereby becomes a kind of game, in which time disappears and one enters into communion with the aesthetic experience ...

Terry Mollo - ARTISTS STATEMENT Stone is my most important medium. The attributes of stone motivate me to seek and appreciate the beauty that has evolved with time and natures forces. Whether marble, travertine, alabaster, agate, onyx, each piece has its own story to tell. Its hues, striations, translucence, brilliance- and faults- have history and mystery to unlock. While carving I listen to the stone and carve only enough to find, and unleash, its organic lines and its AC/a,!A"voice.AC/a,!A Im inspired by the point at which natures organic form meets the inorganic. I concentrate on the force and tension created between the two, and search for the line that is formed by their union. In my sculpture, organic and inorganic form often conjure human emotion, human condition. Natures sea forms, shells and waves, suggest human form, depth, fluidity, texture, tone. Botanicals are sensuous with leaves and flowers that appear muscled and fleshy. Stems of flowers, such as orchids or lilies, stand tall, appear happy or courageous and proud, while other stems are viney or gnarled and appear desperate or defeated. All are similar to the ways in which the anatomy and musculature of the human body reflect its deepest feelings and emotion. Terry ...

Celina Mattar - I started painting when I was still a little girl. In high school I was a great student in English, math and drawing and my teacher was a Finnish nun. On Saturdays we painted still lifes, grapes, fruits and vegetables in general and when I was 12 years old, as I loved ballet, I painted two ballerinas that I still have today. At the age of 17 I wanted to go to Rio de Janeiro to study at some art school, but my father vetoed it and preferred to choose Emeric Mercier to be my teacher. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian painter naturalized in Brazil, today considered an icon in painting. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian artist who studied at the Accademia di Belli Arti de Brera Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy, from 1935 to 1938. In 1939, he attended the sculpture course at the A%0cole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts National School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1940, because of the Second World War 1939-1945, he traveled to Lisbon, where he stayed for a short time and spent time with the painters Arpad Szenes 1897-1985 and Vieira da Silva 1908-1992. ...

Vladimir Volosov - I was born in 1937 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). My way to art was a lengthy one. Before becoming an artist, I studied for thirty years at the forefront of modern physics as a PhD scientist and professor, author more than 150 scientific articles in contemporary laser physics. Thirty years of strenuous scientific work on the front edge of modern physics gives me a deep feeling for the anxiety and unprotectedness of the world's beauty. The formula, "beauty saves the world" fits my own attitude. My creed is also embodied in the statement: "to have time to realize everything given to you by Nature." At the threshold of my fifties, I decided to live one more life, a new, alluring life of the free artist. I walked away from my established scientific career and completely devoted myself to painting. In 1991 I founded and headed the association "Light, Color and Art" to connect with scientists engaged in the arts. The main directions of my paintings are lyrical realism and abstract compositions. My paintings are about light, color, atmosphere and space. For me, the most important elements are light and color and their juxtaposition/nexus/meeting of...

Geo Kat - Always the QUESTION.What is ART. Maybe THERAPY. Maybe DREAMING. Maybe...casting the PAST. Or better... the FUTURE. Or just to be... PRESENT. I dont know exactly. But I knowat least, which is my inspiration, all the old mastering, the great NATURE. Humanity. Personas very different in space and time, like Praxiteles or Botticelli or Candinsky. .......... Of course we, humans, we are nature, part of nature, part of natures mystery...... May be my well effort as an artist is to explore this MYSTERIOUS and fantastic world, and create an art that is not exist yet, as an INVENTION...............or you can say exists, but is not expressed into EXISTENCE yet. And this art exists as a living person FULL of dreams of colours of happiness, GOOD will and HEALING matter. ___I suppose also that my inspiration is whatever still lives UNDERNEATH this ancient old city, Athens...... What ARE YOU thinking ...
