Artists Describing Their Art:
Nicole M. Mathieu - Difficult to talk about art as one should, first of all, feel it. What is more fantastic that listening to a piece of music, reading a novel or seeing an artwork which will transport you deeply inside. For me, Art is not a duplication of what one sees, it should transcend it. My portraits were done in this sense trying to transpose the invisible part of the model. In my recent oil paintings, I try to give sounds with colors which reflects life itself and will remind you of things that seem familiar. Last December 2011, I moved to a beautiful art studio in Paris (near Place d'Italie) and you are welcome to visit my atelier while on vacation. Please call me before at 00 33 (0)663528344 ...
Rosa D Alessio - Drawing and painting, alongside horses - riding or even just being with them, is what I enjoy doing the most! I have always drawn for as long as I can remember... Since I was old enough to hold a pencil, about three or four, I couldn't help myself... I just had to draw... with a pen, a pensile a crayon whatever and on whatever came to hand including, to my parents horror, important "documents" that soon became decorated with my doodling... as long as there was some space I would fill it...! After school I studied dress design, and worked in the trade for some years but, although I still do some designing, I realized (better late than never) that dress design wasn't my true vocation and took up drawing and painting again. Painting is definitely a soothing task, it relaxing and it is very is satisfying to create and see the lines and the colours that emerge from the hand as if by magic. The moment of painting can be excellent therapy, maybe because.... like when being with horses... you don't (with horses for safety reasons you can't) think of anything else, but concentrate on the ...
Durlabh Singh - Sice R.Mutt's urinal, visual art in the western world has suffered a shock & a decline.It has become mere conceptual & has gone back to literary traditions of making statements.Abstraction has become a puritan's attitude of non-depiction of human body in a dignified form.My art is a sort of revolt against this kind of pseudo-intellectualism. My art takes account of both biological & metaphysical aspect of human body.It is a breakthrough to new levels of reality creating significant forms necessary for development of human spirit. I welcome any suggestions or comments regarding my work. If anyone is interested in buying please contact me.Main aim of my art has never been financial gains. I have exhibited all over the world including India, Kenya, Helsinki, Paris, London & New york etc.My work is in private & public collections incliding Ministry Of DefenceLondon & Horniman Museum London....
Israel Tsvaygenbaum - I believe that art is as necessary as the air we breathe; it is what makes us human. As an artist, my role is to help people fulfill this need. My medium is oil on canvas. I like the roughness, the vibrancy of oil. Through oil, I can best express myself. I love the process of painting. When I'm painting, I don't think about the finished product or the viewer; I just focus on being true to the process. Before I ever touch the canvas, or begin to sketch, I let the images swirl around in my mind. Then, I begin a series of sketches to translate my thoughts into more concrete images. As the images take shape on the canvas, they begin to change. Sometimes, I myself am surprised at the outcome. What kind of painting do I do? I don't like labels; I prefer to be free to interpret my ideas as they come to me. Some of the themes that have figured in my paintings are my personal past, Jewish history, Biblical themes and nature. A number of my paintings are set in Derbent, a city in the south of Russia where I spent ...
Elena Zhogina - I am a self taught artist in love with what I do. I love research into form, color, texture, styles and fantasies. I am a self-made artist. In contrast to classical school of painting I use intuition and feelings to express myself. For me the world of painting allows to find my own way of self-expression and reveal my true personality. Some paintings start from one idea but with time discover to me new things. They bring harmony and happiness into my life. I am focused on drawing/painting portraits/people and various types/styles of motion. There are several symbolism works in my portofolio describing certain period of my life and my reflections thereon. Its a pleasure to share it with you ...
Sylvain Chamberlain - The Provocative Image Painting has the power to transform. The subject of my work is memory. The content of my work is the transformative provocations of manipulating that memory. Language provides an illusion of communication. Investigation into motifs that challenge, shout or recede and are all but mute are my constant attempt at communication, but forever uncertain and ever surprised, this language, this mission, this struggle, remains... "My art and my Buddhist practice are the reason my heart continues to beat. If either my artworks or my life can spark life's interminable fire in others, in any small way, I am deeply grateful and inspired." ...
Mark Baranowski - I've been blessed with the talent for drawing, thus I do so with the utmost attention to every detail I see in the original images I work from--I wouldn't expect anyone to show an interest in my work, otherwise. People fascinate me, especially their facial features and expressions, as do urban landscapes and architecture. These subjects make up the majority of my portfolio. Though I've been drawing for nearly as long as I could write my name, I've yet to achieve my goal of gaining worldwide recognition for my works, not to mention making a comfortable living in doing so. Perhaps via absolutearts...?...
