Artists Describing Their Art:
Michael Auger - I dream in vivid color and an assortment of animals with diverse and animated personalities are continuously filling up the inside of my head. I paint them into existence using unapologetically bold color and a thick, chunky acrylic that begs to be touched. My art obviously appeals to kids but it also appeals to adults who want to express their offbeat side. The characters I create have wild eyes and a slightly-off quality to them. I believe that the true test of art is if it succeeds in evoking emotion from the viewer. My paintings usually make people smile and sometimes even laugh. ThataEURtms a wonderful vindication which motivates me to create more. I also enjoy experimenting with alternative techniques. Many of my paintings reveal additional colors and effects when viewed in ultraviolet light. I am inspired by the supernatural and unusual that hide behind the veil of reality and believe that the world is better off with a bit more silliness and magic. ...

He once traveled around the world as a technical photojournalist, nowadays he has been enjoying the beautiful, untouched nature in South Africa for almost 18 years now. Herman finds inspiration in the same nature. The perfect photo in the early morning is just the beginning of his creative journey I like to explore the possibilities and limits of digital art, I just let it flow to see where it can go, sometimes the end result appears quickly, sometimes the creative process takes months and other times the creation dies in its own beauty.
