Artists Describing Their Art:
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.

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.

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." ...
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. ...
