Artists Describing Their Art:

Nahid Navab - My goal in the creative process of drawing, painting and print-making,is to visualize my feelings, my thoughts and my dreams. I like to produce joy and freedom and bring a moment of comfort to my environment. I work with different medias including watercolor, acrylic and pastels. Recently I work with hand pulled prints like etching and silkscreen. I feel this is a road never ends. In every step I learn new concepts and feel new joy. Peace for all...

Obert Fittje - In addition to the mythology of our culture, we all have certain experiences, expressions and images that have deep personal significance and meaning. These form the foundation of our personal mythology. Some of us have richer and more elaborate personal mythologies than others. Recently I came to the realization that I was mainly painting the images of my own personal mythology. I am self taught as a painter and after painting for eleven years, I consider that to my advantage as the icons of my mythology are rarely something out there in the material world. My paintings lie somewhere between the presence and the absence of an identifiable image. It would have been a waste of time for me to have spent years learning the techniques to make my paintings look realistic because the subjects of my mythology are mostly imaginary. I do not go outside to nature to find the subjects of my paintings, but rather I paint inside using my imagination and the images of my personal mythology. As a retired professional psychologist, I have been trained in the use of projective tests such as the Rorschach Inkblots where the observer is presented with purposely-vague images. The ...

Obert Fittje - Pegasus Gallery - The Gallery Pegasus The Gallery Pegasus was opened in 1989 by Vera Ennis and Pat Ramsay. This was the brainchild of a former General Manager of the Pegasus Hotel, who approached Pat Ramsay, who was then the Curator of the Mutual Life Gallery.

At all times we showcase the highest standard of Jamaican paintings and sculptures.

It is located in the lower lobby of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel which is one of the most popular Hotels in New Kingston.

Vasily Zolottsev - There is only one law in art which carries objective character and comes from the very nature, conditional character and illusiveness of art! It is an indispensable condition of creation of an artistic image! It is necessary to judge an artwork by intensity and importance of the image and force of its emotional influence! Style, manner and technique don't have any importance and they are equivalent! The good picture of a primitive artist can be much more valuable in the art sense than a 'competent' picture of a realist and on the contrary! If there is an image, there is a work of art, if there isn't, it's no use crying for the moon! And it is not important which art means it has been reached by! Everyone to his 'own' taste! ...

Paul Orzech - Paul Orzech Sculpture Studio Artist Statement: The heart of my artwork is expressed by the words "Classical form with a modern edge." As an artist, I feel the need to incorporate the classic concepts of the human figure from the Ancient Greek and Italian Renaissance periods, with the more message-oriented elements of today's art. My belief in the beauty and power of the raw human form is exquisitely celebrated in the classical forms of sculpture. The modern themes I treat in my art include feminism; contemporary ideas of spirituality and love; and the all consuming presence time plays in our fast-paced American lives. I feel there is a quiet strength in the combination of established classics and contemporary expression that demonstrates a smooth continuity of social history. ...

Will Kellermann - Willemine Kellermann, who autographs her paintings with Will Kellermann or WK for short, has been active as a professional artist for more than 30 years. Her work differentiates itself from others due to its adventure-like style and technique; she commands the subject and uses her materials as she sees fit. Most well-known are her'silkcolors', which are flowing paintings on silk giving an extra dimension in the way the light falls on them. In her oils, watercolours and pastels, she also demonstrates her strength in use of colour, never hard or cool, but rather vivid and full of warmth. Connoisseurs and critics often make comparisons with the great impressionists of the past, particularly her landscapes in oil or her intensive pastels of models. Will Kellermann senses forms and colours as a pleasure in life and knows how to convey this in her paintings. A painting made by Will Kellemann uplifts your mood and is gratifying for your soul. This is why such a painting will never bore you; it provides access to a romantic adventure that takes the viewer to a world of one's most beautiful dreams. Kellermann paitings hang everywhere from New York (Los Angeles) to ...

Tzipi Biran - I try to express the feminine experience as a complete individual that is constantly engaged in fulfilling her independence and femininity. Parallel to this, I emphasize the potential of a harmonious and holistic connection within a nourishing, supporting and creative relationship between a couple, a promoting and protective partnership within a spiritual and physical connection. The figures in my works are like the dance of life in which the steps of one are adjacent, connecting, opposing, and supporting to that of others, creating a changing and constant movement. ...
