Artists Describing Their Art:

Celina Mattar - I started painting when I was still a little girl. In high school I was a great student in English, math and drawing and my teacher was a Finnish nun. On Saturdays we painted still lifes, grapes, fruits and vegetables in general and when I was 12 years old, as I loved ballet, I painted two ballerinas that I still have today. At the age of 17 I wanted to go to Rio de Janeiro to study at some art school, but my father vetoed it and preferred to choose Emeric Mercier to be my teacher. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian painter naturalized in Brazil, today considered an icon in painting. Emeric Racz Marcier was a Romanian artist who studied at the Accademia di Belli Arti de Brera Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy, from 1935 to 1938. In 1939, he attended the sculpture course at the A%0cole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts National School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1940, because of the Second World War 1939-1945, he traveled to Lisbon, where he stayed for a short time and spent time with the painters Arpad Szenes 1897-1985 and Vieira da Silva 1908-1992. ...

William B Hogan - Statement My paintings are inventions form my imagination and start where my mind, eyes, conscious and unconscious meet. I start by sketching ideas that inspire my imagination and design them into a composition of my unusual visual reality. With pen and ink on 8x11 paper I sketch my ideas until I reach a satisfactory visual compositional solution. Transforming a blank canvas has always been a magic, challenging and exciting journey. My images in composition always seems to be in some state of magic and discovery. The magic begins by taking a visual idea and creating a composition that embraces my ideas on a blank surface and the creative discovery is building the painting with color one brush stroke after another until my idea meets my visual reality. The last brush stroke of my finished painting is the stimulus to begin the journey of another. Biography When I was in 6th grade I won a competition to do the cover for the Christmas pageant. The size was 5 12 x 8- 12, vertical. I drew the driver sitting in a sleigh wearing a cap with ear flaps, not ear muffs. It was snowing of course. I thought the flaps looked neat. ...

Over the years I have worked with various mediums, glass painting, silk screen, oils, pen and ink, gouache and watercolour, but my ultimate choice is my pen and ink work which I truly adore, I know I can put into the paintings a tremendous amount of detail that would be almost impossible using another medium.

Harry Weisburd - Harry Weisburd is an Internationally Represented Artist, including, USA, Expressions Gallery, Berkeley, California,

Harris Gulko - Rather than giving technical details concerning my paintings, I take the liberty to convey, in fewer than 150 words, the philosophy of life that influences all my paintings. My artwork cuts across artistic barriers, displaying many themes landscapes, seascapes, cloud formations, abstracts, childhood games, religious compositions and more. If there is one constant in my work, it is my inconsistency When I am at my easel I try to create on canvas what I am seeing. But often I go off on a tangent, and what ends up often bears little resemblance to what I was attempting to paint. My formula for success consists of ambition, drive, hard work, effort, energy, fear of failure, patience, perspiration and persistence. Life and love are made of time. Privileged those who find love in time. Wise those who express love, before life runs out of time....
