Artists Describing Their Art:
Karin Kuhlmann - An outstanding feature of my abstract digital art works is the translucent, intensive color design with finely graded color harmonies and the painterly quality of the images achieved through comprehensive aritistic reworking with Photoshop. This makes each and every digital artwork to a one of a kind creation. The high quality of my digital files allows large fine art prints up to 75 inch....
Elio Pastore - Elio Stefano PASTORE was born in Turin (Italy), where he lives and works. He has got a degree in Law, and works in the communication field for a big public company acquiring a twenty-year experience in that sector. He started using PC in 1998 for creative necessities relating to his job, discovering little by little its fascinating power and making it a trustful and indispensable tool. Fond of photography, travels and mountains, he has often put together these interests, getting numerous awards in photography contests and publishing his picture stories on different magazines. His artistic life - started in 1992 - has found in the digital art his ideal medium of expression; infact the digital art allows him to draw inspiration from the objectivity but to filter it through his personal life, so transforming it in an ideal and essential reality, spread through an emotionally intimate atmosphere. From this synergy between a personal sensibility and a technical mastery, were born pictorial imagines devoid of modern references and contaminations, creating a world with no time suspended between magic realism and poetry. Starting from the year 2000, from the original production, he has led in a parallel way, a personal research on forms ...
John Hampshire - These works are a part of an ongoing body of work I started in 1995. It consists of drawings, which are labyrinths, and paintings derived from images as well as from life. The beginnings of these drawing processes do not deal directly with the image, but the breakup of the picture plane. I establish a series of gesture lines in pen; tentative glimpses translated with definite marks. This is the structure for subsequent marks. I do not allow myself (for the most part) to cross any lines or marks. In turn, initial lines act as "containers" for later lines. The result of this activity is a maze-like structure that also implies an image. I build up greater densities of marks to achieve darker values. The image I work from provides a guide to direct this activity. As the process continues the applied marks become smaller and smaller and the information brought into the drawing becomes more refined. This is a self refining process that I am continuing to push further and further with each piece. This is actually a process that started for me in high school; doodling in notebooks. Only now I have applied this mindless activity to ...
Sipo Liimatainen - Finnish master of surrealism and abstract art. As a person Sipo is full of strong contrasts - a man with powerfully subtle sensors. His works are overwhelmed by free strength and tempting depth, and he combines different kinds of theories, trends and techniques with no doubt. Sipo owns a mind with endless will to search and find; this curiousity can be easily sensed in everything he does. If Sipo were an object he would definitely be a surprising prism - a master of light and shadows. In Sipo`s work and person roots of light rest on lap of darkness, and dark can naturally carry bright. Sipo`s universum of colours is simply extremely bewildering. ...
