Artists Describing Their Art:
Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my art and acts as a vital element in my etchings. The images I employ originate from my own photographs, as well as from the images I find from my research into the digital archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, and museums. Upon locating a documented scene I wish to etch, my first step involves the execution of two to five original drawings of the photograph. My collaboration between photography and printmaking allows me the independence to integrate my personal interpretations into the scene. Moreover, I create bridges between the physical and metaphysical visual realities in the same way that a camera intersects with human creativity . . . the nexus between the mechanical and the cerebral art tools. Art unveils everything that we mask behind our belief systems conversely, I strive in my creations to clarify those phenomena we overlook as a result of our egocentric assumptions. Ironically enough, I blame this failure to notice things, a process I label, the phenomenology of connectedness, on todayaEURtms very infatuation with and addiction to the new communicational technologies of social media. My artworks therefore become like windows through which to examine the mysteries of aEURoeeveryday consciousnessaEUR. In fact, my use of ...

Paul Dettwiler - Influenced by various human movements in space and buildings in urban contexts and by application of ancient glazing technique in painting, my paintings have formed a niche of its own.

Diana Corcan - Poetry and the poetry of objects. As in the poetry I write, the tendency to express myself artistically implies a dual nature. An inner primitive kind -- who yearns for the simplicity of former emotions, and a nature containing a perverted, sophisticated side, in which the influence on the aesthetic is done through an emotion compromised by the mundane. The desire of permanent return to our unperverted state, to a zero point, expressed in my poetry, manifests also in the textile objects I make, through the option for natural materials. The run between light and darkness, between color and non-color comes from the desire of an equilibrium point. It comes from the attempt to support my own feelings on a skateboard, activated in permanence by the power of feelings in motion. The acrobacy of emotion is what draws the object, builds it, animates it and settles its destination. ...
