Artists Describing Their Art:
Ron Berry - I draw because it is pure excitement to watch a figure come to life or to see a structure begin to come "off the paper." My intent is to produce a rendering that is realistic, detailed and accurate. I choose subjects because I have some emotional connection to them. I simply want the viewer to experience the impact of the figure, the structure, the scene. I leave it to the great artists to make us think about the human experience. I do have great admiration for the words attributed to Michelangelo " that he saw the angel in the marble and carved until he set the angel free." Would that we all could see that angel, as accurately as he. Whether I am a realist or a naturalist or a representational artist, the beauty for me, is that art that attempts to present the image as a realistic rendering of the object, figure or scene.As my artistic process continues to mature, the realism, detail and accuracy of the images should continue to develop as well. Meanwhile, the attempt to bring a realistic, detailed and accurate image to life is itself the magic. ...

Eli Gross - aEURoeAspire to happiness, to calm a tempestuous soul, towards serenity - thataEURtms the nature of my art. My longing for happiness is molded into the harmonious movement of children and also conveyed in a silent embrace or pastoral landscape. There is only one pretty child in the world, and every grandfather has it. That quote might be told from many different perspectives - how we see or feel about aEUR" even they are so far. So far ...

Victoria Velozo - Artist Statement I create contemporary semi-abstracts. My style is quite unique as it combines two artistic styles. I have blended contemporary abstract oil painting with traditional realism watercolour. I delight in combining these genres as I love the softness of the watercolour in contrast to the vibrancy of the oil paint. I also enjoy the contrast of the Realism and Abstract movements. In this body of work I hope to encourage a connection to the environment. In their non-disturbed state grassy plains are magnificent, and vibrant parts of biological tapestry. Once covering vast tracts of the continentaEURtms plains. The grassland are now among the most vulnerable and endangered habitats due to urbanization. I express the rugged beauty by focusing on the birds and animals that live in this environment. I include birds such as Sparrows, Eagles, Parrots Crows and Ravens to bring energy, create interest and narrative. I would describe my own personal style as continuously creating tension in the artwork. I achieve this through the combined use of premediated realism and abstract improvisation, where the realism is used as a measure of my ability and the abstract work displays my artistic expression. I also create tension ...
