Artists Describing Their Art:

Mario Ortiz Martinez - The main distinction of an artist is, or should be, insanity or, at least, the tendency to think and do absurd, showy, original and little comprehensible things for the common man. In particular, what attracts me the most is sharing my work, to the point of asking for very low prices. simple peanuts sometimes or flatly give it to those who appreciate it. Try me. This site requires a price standard. Very understandable and logical. But I would never refuse a reasonable offer. Just thinking about continuing, about having a penny to buy more colors and keep producing. Even when my works consist of a simple paper and in a small format, I always want to show my commitment to people, in order to brighten up a small corner of the house and invite reflection on the beautiful, the harmonious, the good vibes of the world. Some of these works have served as a study for large-format painting, but I have to honestly say that the study always looks better than the enlarged copy. In art, the first impulse, the first pictorial phrase, the first flash of inspiration, the first painted word that comes from the heart, is the ...

Randy Sprout - I grew up in a small town in Northern Iowa, played football, coached the swimming team, and graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in printmaking studying under Mauricio Lasansky. I then went into the Army and ended up pulling 13 months in Korea on the DMZ. Coming out of Korea I entered UCLA and earned a MA and MFA in printmaking while studying under Jan Stussy and Stanton Mac-Donald Wright. The next year after the funds dried up on my Fulbright Award to Portugal, because of the Angola War, I was lucky to get hired by USC where I taught printmaking as a junior faculty member. I also replaced professors at UCLA when they went on sabaticals, and taught one year at Pierce College. In 1977 I tried Real Estate, you know just for the summer, but by fall I had purchased Century 21 Hollywood Inc. and had a new vocation going. Now 31 years into real estate, I'm coming full circle and starting to paint little quick studies 9X12. I'm using just 1/2 inch brushes and 5 colors. I intentionally limit my time to 2 hours after which I stop and throw ...

Eugen Varzic - Very early, as a small boy, I have defined myself as an artist. Of the wounds I have the design, the walls, benches, paper. 1999. degree in painting. Painting as breathing. To be the same, and in a permanent change. So I entered the world of painting. This idea leads me all the time, and I have to admit that sometimes it is not easy. I think that the work of painter most loneliest job. My wish is to stay on my way, and honestly continue to create art every day.To learn and see more. At least once by the end of life re-discover the child in myself. Inspiration is music. Sometimes in the silence I could not take the brush in hand ... Inspiration is the written word. Inspiration in history, religion, practically in everything. A main inspiration and the center of my art is man. Inspiration is the history of art. All. All. With the same passion I feel the bulls in Altamira and sculptures of Damien Hirst . I like to paint, I love to create some new worlds. Sometimes I think over my artwork. These are my painted logs that show me when I was happy, ...

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 ...

Paul Wesson - I specialise in creating high quality durable steel sculpture for the outdoor environment.What is in my head when I make the work is deeply personal. What matters to me is that the work engages the imagination and connects with a deep-rooted, instinctive appreciation of simple forms. My challenge always, is to fulfill the remit of not only creating a subject as a piece of sculpture that will make you stop, stand and stare, but also challenge....

Kay Liebenberg - Art is not merely a process of creation, it is a way to express yourself within society. Art has many forms as well as many interpretations, but they all have one thing in common...each artwork has its own voice and reason for it being created. I am an artist who specialises in creating Mixed Media artworks that have a unique interpretation as well as a 3-dimensional factor that allows it to be interactive. Each artwork that I have created has a different medium that I used for texture as well as for the interactive factor, which is 3-dimensional. I have a passion for art and I would like to share it with the world. ...
