Bryan Kemila - Artist Statement Bryan Kemila ------------------------------ PENDING ------------- BIOGRAPHY Bio - Bryan Kemila - Watercolour painter - Acrylic painter - Oil painter - Sculpting - Critical observer of current events. - Nothing on the planet is quite as compelling as the woman. I was born in Dinsmore, Saskatchewan, Ive learned a number of skills. The list includes small engine repair, electrical wiring, construction, furniture building, commercial painting, sign painting, commercial graphics, logo design, bookkeeping and small business practices. As it turns out, the brush control and lettering skills improved. After 2 years of consistent practice, I realized my efforts surpassed the samples in the books. Gratitude must be given to the instruction on layout and design in The Mike Stevens Journal. I launched my own sign business, which I consider a successful enterprise. In my early years, sign painting involved simply a small tin of poster paint and a grey-squirrel tail brush. Back in the day, grocery stores used hand-painted, large paper banners to advertise their weekly specials. So I was good to go into business with minimal overhead When I retired just this past year, the sign business had since evolved devolved to computer software, vinyl-cutter equipment and stick-on letters. Layout and design still remain ...
Varvara Vitkovska - I live in Riga Latvia, a friendly city that is open to everything new. After graduating from the St. Petersburg higher art school, I chose the pastel technique because I wanted to constantly improve my drawing skills. Then I started to paint with acrylics. After many years, I decided to return to the study of academic drawing and the canons of antique sculpture, mythology and the history of Ancient Greece. I am driven by attempts to comprehend the laws of beauty, perfection and harmony, although I know that this process is endless... Im obsessed with body proportions and when Im wrong with proportions, it makes me desperate and unhappy. My works are in private collections in Latvia, Russia and Italy....
Sergey Lesnikov - Old things fascinate - wood, metal, stones, cobweb of craquelure on old varnish .. the way time worked on them. Perhaps as proof that Time is material, and has value in itself. Once, looking at the massive hundred-year-old board from the old house, I imagined all those works on the wood panels, from icons to painting, which we never saw, that left, disappeared, lost in time. How could they look like Then I came to idea to make such a thing, looking like a found artifact, with fragments of old painting on ancient piece of wood. So I have created it, and continue working now.. Additional technical education helps to find new and new technological solutions, and now every work is physically unique, because of the uniqueness of the key element - old wood, and because of the peculiarities of the process. Nowadays, when so many people are interested in medieval style, fantasy and pseudo-historical stories- from The Lord of the Rings to the Game of Thrones, such kind of works are interesting, arenaEURtmt they Such as they could be, if they existed in reality and reached our days.. Im always in search- of new approaches, new materials, sometimes ...
Steve Meyerholz - I should have never became an artist. For years my attempts at writing graffiti were ridiculed my work laughed at and dismissed as garbage. I have been fascinated with art since I first saw graffiti. I never gave up and practiced daily until a style emerged. Graffiti has opened my mind to other art forms. I currently paint canvasses and murals and draw portraits with various media. I have also been a tattooist for 2 decades. I get my inspiration from the way Im feeling at that particular moment. I try to incorporate things I see or experience on a regular basis whenever possible while Im producing a piece of art. I will never stop creating and always try learning new techniques. I was determined to be an artist and it has led me here. Lets see what the future holds. I am always interested in collaborating with other artists to see what kind of creative chemistry can be discovered. ...

Igor Navrotskyi - I consider my work as a tool. With which a person can discover himself. Expand the boundaries and frameworks of the usual perception of the world. Get in touch with inner reality. See its depth and versatility. What can be the impetus for a new one. Through trust in life and a willingness to meet unexpected aspects of the World. Painting for me is the unity of opposites and the search for a balance between them. Logical and emotional, sadness and joy, shadow and light, strength and fragility. I believe that art has the ability to awaken thoughts and emotions, the ability to transform and transform life in an instant.Various techniques and experiments, constant improvement of their expressive capabilities, like filtering and gaining their mature pictorial handwriting. Form, color, texture, light - a harmonious and verified combination of these components and attention to detail. This is my approach to conveying meaning and state. I use color and light.

In my work, my creative part collides with the rational one and this produces unexpected solutions ...
