Artists Describing Their Art:
Jonathan O'Hora - I am a professional visual artist based in Nottingham where I have been living since 2016. My work primarily focuses on nature, the environment and the human condition. Visually my work is conscious of fine art printmaking using often abandoned techniques as a way of asking the viewer to look closer. Recently, I have found using multiple exposures as a way of enhancing the single image, creating movement and encouraging the viewer to look in different ways. Having gained a Masters degree from St Martins College in 2003 I worked for Kodak until they went bankrupt in 2013. Since then I have travelled the world before starting my career as an artist in 2017....
Peter C.

For the last 10 years, while I 'paint' my architectural images, I shut down my analytical mind and allow my emotion and instinct to direct my 'computer mouse' brush. I paint not in a conventional way. I oddly feel guilty for having so much fun in my new art career. I have been influenced by working with 'fine ...
Vyara Tichkova - I get inspiration from everything around me. Its can be a song, an emotion, a book, a song, a story from my friend, its unpredictable what can touch my soul... Im amazed how much abstraction have in the nature in the simple thinks and in elementary pictures of everyday life. My passion is to traveling around the world, every new journey gives me a fresh opportunity to develop and change my vision and ideas. I see new cultures, learn curious stories and stand in front of amazing natural views, I meet the achievements of man in everyone aspect. That take my breath and poses new challenges to me as an artist. I would not want to explain my artworks because I believe that the works of art are the connection between the artist and the viewer. This is another level of communication, another kind of language that does not need words ......
