Artists Describing Their Art:

Aylar Mohammadi - I think the simplest kind of painting is not the most banal. But the question is whether this simple painting can be considered as a part of todays painting I never try to use any special skills in my work, but I use simplicity. In fact I often destroy the beauty of faces rather than enhancing the beauty. And this is the language of my objection to sentimentalism in art and social conditions. My paintings do not try to festoon, but they want to be seen with a reverse attempt....

Hans Andre - Rarely do I willingly speak of my paintings. What I see is not necessarily the same as you see. The paintings should only be seen in the viewers own eyes. However, in my last solo exhibition during the fall in Milan, organized by Camaver Kunsthaus, an Italian asked why the people in the paintings are always blind. The answer is simple, although people may see physically, it does not make them look mentally. Unfortunately, most people are blind. Visit : www.hansandre.com...

Martha Hayden - My painting is both realistic and abstract, it is on that elusive edge between there and not there. On first look everything is in place, then all dissolves. I want realism and abstraction to take turns. I want a painting sometimes very evocative of time and place, sometimes overwhelming in abstract, structural logic. I look for a surprise, a drama, a different way of seeing. I try not to see anything for itself alone, but as a part of the whole. In this context, my subjects take on meanings other than the accustomed ones. They are more than still life and landscape; they are comments on thinking and seeing. ...

Leni Smoragdova - About 6 years ago I began my art research about hidden faces inside modern society. I called this project Transaction. I look through different edges of the society social, politic and etc Art transaction Wiki, Financial transaction, an agreement, communication, or movement carried out between a buyer and a seller to exchange an asset for payment, The philosophy of art transaction arose as a reaction to the cult of the Golden calf of the generations of the 80s - 00aEURtms, thereby, in the opinion of transaction, put people in the condition of loss of spiritual realities and propaganda hidden faces. ...

Joshua Polk - Joshua Polk is a native of Atlanta, GA. He is an aspiring artist making a strong leap onto the art world. His early work revolved around portraits as he was intrigued with connecting with his fan base. His steady persistence and dedication led to an amazing evolution of his work. The artwork is a strong blend of figures and emotion. The strong emotions are captured in the most intense of movements, matched with the most dynamic of colors, creating wonderful stories. Other work explores the modern world, the struggle of politics and life. Not only does every art piece have a story but every piece also has a motive. Through the course of JoshuaaEURtms exploration the meaning has evolved; still every piece captures the inherent internal beauty of art but still presents a strong message to viewers....

Serghei Ghetiu - Hi everybody, I am Serghei Ghetiu. Like all of you, dear viewers, I am an art lover. I paint since my childhood, but since several years I started to devote to painting almost all of my time and now cannot stop. Art for me is embodiment of many notions, meditation, fulfillment of thoughts and ideas. I admire classical paintings, but also approve all directions in art. It will be pleasure for me if my works delight your eyes and mind....

Tyrone Webber - hi my name is tye I have been drawing for as long as I can remember for many years now with huge gaps in between. I recently started drawing again these last two years due to having to give up work and look after my wife wich has given me a little more time also to spend on my artwork I usually draw in graphite but secretely love to experiment with different ideas and would love to be able to paint as well as I draw but alas still under practice I try to make a statement in my mixed media works and at times have been told I do manage to stir emotions in my work which is what I do try and do I think theres nothing worse when once a work is completed then I take a look and it seems a little flat and meaningless with no soul and thats something wich I do try to avoid if I can I started mainly doing portraits but as we know the web is full of thousands of portrait artists all seem to be doing the same thing so I am trying things a lot differently one small ...

Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my hand-pulled etchings and also serves as a key element in my art. My imagery originates from my own photographs and those of other artists. I research my subjects in the archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, museums, and foundations. I attempt to balance visual gravity with the narrations within everyday scenes . . . I hope to create a convergence between the metaphysical and physical aspects of space, time, and reflection. My examination of the familiar strives to unveil the splendors of life that are masked by our assumptions My stories emerge from beneath the surfaces of that which we overlook as a result of our neglected perceptions . . . of that which is frequently visible but overlooked. Ironically enough, I blame this inability to see reality . . . or what I call, the phenomenology of connectedness . . . on todays infatuation with and addiction to the new technologies of communication. I see my artworks as windows through which people can see the undiscovered mysteries of human consciousness. In fact, my use of multiple etching plates to create one etched design helps to reinforce the illusion of looking at a scene through a window. Each individual area created in my multiple-plate etchings becomes a ...

Aisha Haider - Welcome to my gallery. I was born in Lancashire in England. I am a self taught artist and have been painting ever since I can remember. I paint in acrylics because of its versatility. Painting has always been a strong part of my life and it is who I am. Painting is an unquechable addiction that I get immense pleasure out of. I paint in an impressionistic style using a little bit of inspiration that comes from nature whilst adding my own elements too. My painting are mostly vibrant and modern. My favourite subjects are umbrellas, reflections and trees. I am very fortunate to have sold over 500 paintings in the Uk and 5 other countries. I hope you enjoy looking at my work and find something to your taste. aEURoeAs music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sightaEUR James McNeil Whistler...

Aisha Haider - David Larkins - I've always been intrigued by the luminosity and transparencies found in watercolor and acrylic mediums. I believe an artist must experience the painting - to absorb the surroundings, the atmosphere, to have a oneness with the subject matter before the first brush stroke is applied. My style is described as "Abstract Realism" and my strength is found in the composition. I'm drawn to diverse subject matter that challenges the viewer to see abstraction in the ordinary - to meld the "real" world with the "abstract". ...
