Artists Describing Their Art:

Guy Octaaf Moreaux - A painter is a collector, he makes his own collection Un peintre es un collectioneur, il fait sa propre collection Un pintor es un coleccionista, hace su propria coleccion Pablo Picasso. Having lived in North and South America and in northern and southern Europe, I picked up bits of cultures all over. During my stay in California I first came into contact with asian art and philosophy which would leave a lasting mark on me. The influence from Asia was reinforced in Argentina where I took classes of japanese painting with Cristina Ishikawa. Except for these classes and some drawing classes I am an autodidact. The most gratifying moments in painting are those when all of a sudden you get a kick out of an accident, something not planned which fits the painting just perfectly. The intuition is at work and surprises the rational mind. Sometimes the painting overtakes your will and dictates colors, forms or nuances which were never thought of. Living in Kenya now for a number of years, I want to paint all these new impressions I am facing....

Jacob Kohn - Water Play Over the years, I have continued to explore and portray the beauty and sensuality of the natural world. I have returned time and again to the realism of nature as a subject because it provides me with a visual language that best expresses the abstract energy and emotional color that I find essential in my art. My primary visual interests are water and the phenomenal forms that reside upon and within the watery plane. I love the tension created by objects such as leaves and lily pads as they hug the surface. I am fascinated by complicated levels of space created by trees, reeds, and other plants reflected in the water from above, combined with vines, leaves, and fish as they loom just below the surface. There is a painterly quality to these constantly shifting forms that allows me to mix and blend an endless variety of invented colors that create rich and satisfying contrasts of pattern and hue. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I wish to communicate my love of place and season to my viewer. I sense that I am depicting subjects that are very familiar to my audience, calling them to witness the sublime effects...

Walther Von Krenner - Before I studied in Asia, Picasso and Gauguin had a great influence on my thinking. Later I admired the ideas and importance of Pollocks action painting. At this point in my journey Liu Kuo Sung, Chang Dai Chien, Fu Baoshi and Zao Wuki artists mostly unknown to the average Westener have had a great influence on my work. I am attempting to synthesize the style and spirit of their work into a new style with the same power, energy and feeling without copying their work or trying to repeat something that has been done already. There are lots of people who paint, very few with skill and imagination. The craft of art seems to be mostly lost, drawing, composition and beauty are rare in art those days. Artistic skill and creativity have been replaced with scandal and outrageous exhibits of garbage. One only needs to look at what some galleries and auction houses sell as art. ...

Lauren Litwa - Each Painting starts with a Picture in my Mind, Daydream or Just Grows as I Draw onto the Paper, Canvas or Panel. I Stay Open to the Process and Let it Flow.

Vladimir Volosov - I was born in 1937 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). My way to art was a lengthy one. Before becoming an artist, I studied for thirty years at the forefront of modern physics as a PhD scientist and professor, author more than 150 scientific articles in contemporary laser physics. Thirty years of strenuous scientific work on the front edge of modern physics gives me a deep feeling for the anxiety and unprotectedness of the world's beauty. The formula, "beauty saves the world" fits my own attitude. My creed is also embodied in the statement: "to have time to realize everything given to you by Nature." At the threshold of my fifties, I decided to live one more life, a new, alluring life of the free artist. I walked away from my established scientific career and completely devoted myself to painting. In 1991 I founded and headed the association "Light, Color and Art" to connect with scientists engaged in the arts. The main directions of my paintings are lyrical realism and abstract compositions. My paintings are about light, color, atmosphere and space. For me, the most important elements are light and color and their juxtaposition/nexus/meeting of...
