Artists Describing Their Art:
Oksana Linde - I paint and draw since very young, and sometimes feel I am in a dream. When I close my eyes, many times I have extraordinary visions impossible to paint. I do not care about what is in fashion but what comes to my mind and try to reproduce it...I like to experiment with different techniques and mediums. Dream and reality merge frequently. I Need freedom in art. For relaxing, I love making collage, watercolor, digital images, also ink drawing. Collage is such a wonderful world! You can discover a hidden universe putting together different pieces of whatever you find. When I make mixed media large artworks, it is difficult to stop for me. Ideas after ideas keep filling my mind, and I have not enough possibilities to do all I would like. I was born in Venezuela, from Ukrainian origin. My mother, Halyna Krychevska-Linde, taught me some painting techniques. She was a many-sided artist and artisan. My grandfather, Vasyl H. Krychevsky was a very talented artist, scholar, graphic artist, designer, architect, Teather and Movie set designer, innovator. He died when I was four, but his influence on me has been intense.

Sometimes perhaps I say too much about my self but maybe it helps people understand what motivates my work. For your information I've lived in 8 different countries and have been around the world 5 times. I speak a few different languages, some very well; others not so well. By the way I am not a workaholic as I don't consider what I do work. I enjoy life too much. I forgot to say I am also a weight lifter as lifting weights is my Zen. When I am troubled the concentration it takes to lift makes me calm. I guess my page will probably be a little different from what people expect. Sorry I have not been uploading new work as ...
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. I believe in freedom of expressions, through my creative ideas with experimenting on new styles. In my paintings I explore the images for its fragility and strength which depicts transformation of energy. 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 ...

Ved Prakash Bhardwaj - Is it true that an abstract painting has no reference to any figurative reality? I don't think like that. I believe that there is nothing abstract in a painting because every abstraction is based on figures. Abstract forms, which was generally adopted by artists comes from nature and nature has several fixed forms, which used in abstract paintings. In my works, I used parts of human body as a symbol of land or nature. I am not a narrator, so I try to paint in a different way, because I am re-creator, original creator is god or nature, whatever you say. I believe that god or nature is greatest creator and as a human being, we can only try to re-create whatever we see in our life. As an abstract painter, I try to simplify or reduced the real forms. In that process I get some unaccepted result, and I think that was not my creation, that was god's creation. ved prakash bhardwaj...
Cris Orfescu - NANOART I create Art from Science using Technology. My art is a reflection of the technological movement. I consider NanoArt to be a more appealing and effective way to communicate with the general public and to inform people about the new technologies of the 21st Century raising the public awareness of Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives. Nanotechnology deals with the synthesis, manipulation and characterization of matter at the sub-100 nanometers level. Nanotechnology is still an emerging area although commercial products are already on the market. I bring the small world in front of my audience by visualizing with a scanning electron microscope the nanolandscapes and the nanosculptures I create by physical and chemical processes. I paint and manipulate digitally the monochromatic electron images and print them on canvas or fine art paper with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time (giclee prints). This way, the scientific images become artworks and could be showcased for a large audience to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable. ...
Lyudmila Kogan - My art is my diary a pictorial journal for painting discrete moments in time arranged by medium in which they are expressed. The medium spectrum runs from intuitive abstract expressions, to more complex reflections on daily events. Most of my art works are dedicated to abstract expressions of reality based on my personal reflections on life, environment, emotional expressions, and peoples characters. I am not concerned with the superficial and the obvious I try to capture the essence of a person, a moment, a state of mind, or an emotion. In my drawings I am not trying to imitate realistic attributes I am trying to mirror ones character as well as to express my own thoughts and feelings on the subject. Everything depends on what and when something caught my attention, made me think, or affected me. ...

Corinne Medina-Saludo - Corinne Medina-Saludo: Creating a Figurative Kinestesic Art The basis of the art of this french contemporary painteri?1/2s research is the " body-mind", or better said, "body lenguage": the painter using her inside physical and emotionnal feelings, as a medium, and also, intention of her art. In her painting act, a mental representation of the body is, at least, coming into the canvas, as a plastic element of of "painted sintaxis" She is a member of Taylor's Fundation of Paris, since 2006, and represented by Drouot-Cotation since 2000. She recently exhibited some featured works, as "Resurrection" in the Miami Museum of the Americas", ( 2010 july, International ART Exhibition). ...
Carla Goldberg - Carla Goldberg-Artists Statement: Bodice Of The Goddess-The Secret Life Of The Hudson I have been working on this series of mixed media paintings since January of 2009. In "Bodice Of The Goddess- the Secret Life of the Hudson River", I give liberal license to the stories behind the histories, myths and legends of the Hudson River exploring the playful and vengeful sides of the River Goddesses of the Hudson. It is the interaction of Goddess affections and jealousies, in play with Earth, water and the human world that puts the viewer as witness to the wave action and radical weather phenomena unveiling before their eyes. The way I interpret it, River Goddess lore has us believe that it is Diva like temperamental female whims of self indulgence that create an emotional response that is reflected back into the river creating the constantly changing waves and sudden and glorious storms that brew over the Hudson. What we as humans perceive is not the true intentions of the Goddesses, for Goddesses do as they please and play with all the elements as mere toys. Even Kipsy, the Hudson River's own mythical version of the Loch Ness monster is a ...
