A borderline case, caso entre lo normal y lo subnormal. borderline (termino psicoanalitico): caso clinico de personalidad que oscila entre varias patologias, sin tendencia a alguna en particular. "El caracter de la imagen se determina por la relacion establecida entre el adorante y el adorado" Shukrasharia. La frontera entre una cosa y otra siempre ha sido creada, por lo tanto es siempre suceptible a la destruccion. Lo hermoso puede ser grotesco de un momento a otro. La vida tiene como companera mas cercana a la muerte. Nada es forma o pura, incluso lo que supone serlo. Entre los trazos basicos de las lineas se esconde una verdad. La imagen misma de las lineas del trabajo de luis RE Borderniline -horizontales pasivas o activas verticales- nos sugiere ya la idea misma de limite. ?limite de que? Borderline, actual peldano pictorico del aritsta, sugiere marcar y desvanecer limites, y confronta tres pares de ideas, fundamentales para su poetica pictorica: 1. La imagen vs. ...

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 ...
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 ...
James Simpson - Howdy! Sandpainting is an Ancient Art known across the Globe. My introduction to the Art was through contact with the Dine` of the Southwest United States. I met Joe Ben Jr. in Northern New Mexico in 1984 and was Honored to assist him in searching for pigments to complete a group of Sandpaintings for the Indian Fair in Santa Fe. Along the way, i picked up the essentials of Sandpainting and found my niche in this very traditional Art.

Dana Zivanovits - Dana Zivanovits was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio and received his art training from the Columbus College of Art and Design (1978 to 1982). After art school, he went abroad for a year and studied the art of the old masters in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Venice. Returning to his studio in Columbus to develop these influences into a new body of work, he then traveled to Mexico and studied the sculpture and painting of that country for an extended period. The unique and vivid colors of Palenque and Vera Cruz intensified his palette. After a period in Ohio, he then moved to Venice Beach, California where the brilliant light of the region reinforced his desire to capture effects of sunlight and atmosphere. Returning to Ohio in 1995, he has continued to paint themes deriving inspiration form sources such as world mythology, classic and B-grade cinema, literature and dreams. However his primary inspiration is direct observation from nature, versus an approach based in art theories or cultural critique. Dana has been widely represented by galleries and exhibition projects including Julie Rico and Mega Boom in Los Angeles, the Venice Art Detour, Around the Coyote Festival in Chicago ...
Stuart Ellis - The inspiration for my work is all around us, the light, mood and atmosphere of the landscape. Music is also another great inspirer, from Bach to Hendrix, all creating a mood that is expressed through my work. A reflection in water, a shaft of light, how I am feeling at a particular moment are translated through colour and movement onto the canvas. In some of my work there is a serene calm in others a threatening storm, these are drawn from what I have seen or emotions I have experienced, never knowing which direction the work will take until pencil connects with paper or brush hits the canvas. ...

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 ...
