Artists Describing Their Art:
Kloska Ovidiu - I cannot imagine how one can possibly see behind this work how much time and effort it took for me to develop this unique space that defines me now. I have discovered angels when I almost got drowned three times the same summer and I pray every time at dawn for God to exist. I have discovered real art in Iasi galleries an in the art albums from the second-hand book seller on Lapusneanu street. I have started then sleeping on pillows smelling like linen, with canvas on the walls and under the bed. I have never eaten paints, though in the first grades I drunk the water for the aquarelle. And here I am, young, continuously wandering and dedicated, sending invitations to an imaginary park for preserving the soul. Most of the plastic themes used, the symbols and shapes included in my work, are taken out from a reality spoiled by time, and then they are reshaped in a special way in my opinion. The most important theme is the wall. Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique way, by projecting a sway of mind, a mind performance with neurological circuits. This is my aEURoe...
Stefano Mazzolini - Stefano Mazzolini was born in Parma in 1968. At the age of nine he was nominated for the aEURoeDrawing and CityaEUR prize organized by the municipality of Parma. In 1989 he graduated Master of Art in pictorial decoration at the Paolo Toschi Institute in Parma. For several years he devoted himself to the restoration and conservation of wall paintings. In 1990 he first lived in London and then moved for a short time to New York. His graphic style manifests it in a gestural and immediate way, the dynamic stroke creates drops of acrylic on paper. Well managed pilot stains without following drawings and projects, thus replacing the brush with ampoules and a spatula. Intriguing portraits are formed, fairy-tale environments and mythological animals, elves that float, fantastic figures animate a controlled chaos. Precise features to delimit the contours of human shapes, hints that act in space expressing action rich in spontaneity. While on the canvas with oil he expresses his vision of the hidden, beyond the appearance of being, silhouettes of androgynous subjects, very precise to represent objects, people and intrinsic things and formed by a well-complex structure like everything that lives and shapes. By cutting the canvas ...
Marton Zavorszky - 'Here I stand. I can do no other.' I strongly believe art is not about being professional or non-professional. Art is about passion, about fire in our heart. Art is power of the creation of new worlds. I don't create because I am an artist. I need to create, and this makes me an artist. I don't want to understand other artists, I don't want to understand art. I do art to understand myself. I do art to understand life....
Angu Walters - Angu Walters interest in painting started when he was a boy experimenting with ink from different pen colors, mixed and applied them on torn cardboards, which were sometimes hung on the walls of his motheraEURtms sitting room. His mother invited Spee, a very famous artist to show him what the child was doing with the materials he could find in his milieu, thereafter the artist took him to his workshop, under his guidance so to better improve on his skills. Since then, he has had a professional revolution with much inspiration drawn from his fine arts mentor. Angu Walters dwells mostly on abstract and surreal paintings which focus mostly on the painful side of life like poverty and disease. He also paints music which he claims reflects the happy side of life. His works express surrealism because he believes that his dreams are inspirational to his life and works. He titles his favorite painting aEURoeThe Happy FamilyaEUR because to him, the family is the foundation on which a successful professional and matrimonial life is built....

Rasheed Amodu - RASHEED AMODU Artist Statement I started as a professional artist in 1985, before adding a Fine Arts degree, specializing in Painting, in 1991. One of my major aims is to wed creativity and artistic rendering in my artwork leading to diverse range of themes in my oeuvre. My graphic art background in Realism and my degree aided abstractions as well as impressionistic and expressionistic tendencies are often reflected in my artwork, which include my drawings, paintings, mixed media, and assemblages. I draw with pencil, charcoal, penink, and gouache on paper or embossed cards. My oil or acrylic paintings are usually on canvas. I do mixed media on paper, embossed card, and canvas. My assemblages are works produced with commonplace objects or personal items arranged and fixed on hardboard before being painted with oil or acrylic for aesthetic finesse. Some of the objects employed in my assemblages are beads, fabrics, combs, watches, straps, chains, cards, belts, spoons, forks, pens, ropes, lighters, shaving sticks, plugs, and bottle covers. The sources of the images I used in my works are from my society, literature on African art and foreign cultures as well as personal synthesis. I employed my artwork to visually document the ...
Evangelos Tzavaras - For me is the same to paint a vase or a nude. What i want is the aesthetic result of my art to be the display of my soul at that moment. I do not expect from something to have soul, but to give my own....
Simon Brown - My major passion is sculpting abstract designs of human form, emotion and interaction. I love focusing on producing balanced lines, proportion and flow that undulate across the canvas. Mixing media adds life and emphasis to every story. Thus I always experiment with varying techniques and mediums to enhance the impact of my work. I enjoy working within color scales especially the grey scale, producing relaxing, calm pieces. In contrast I want some designs to be vibrant, contrasting and aEURoein your faceaEUR. Being heavily involved within street art over the last ten years has heavily influenced my overall style of work, and approach towards art as a whole. In addition my love for abstract work has led me to strive to produce a hybrid style of art in-between both realms. SBE....
Rajni Ayapilla - I have always been interested in Artworks since childhood. However finding a platform for artists was always difficult. With a little knowledge I managed to open my webstore. I have started here with a beautiful Indian Painting of Radha Krishna and I hope I can submit more in future. ...
Shoshannah Brombacher - Art makes the world within the artist visible. Classical music, poetry, Jewish and Chassidic stories, traveling, the love for people and memories of eras gone but not forgotten, cities where I lived and worked, like Amsterdam, Berlin, Jerusalem, New York, or visitedm, lie Prague and Sicily, are the main ingredients of my art. My art is like the water of the canals of my native Amsterdam, Rembrandts city, the deeper you look into it, the more you see. A reflection of a reflection of a reflection...look, what you see is not what you see. My art contains texts and letters, lets writing come alive, and reflects my deep connection with the Dutch 17th century Masters, German expressionism, Russian art and medieval miniatures. My art is also a tribute to music and the world of the great Chassidic masters of Eastern Europe. The Kotzker Rebbe listened to a Chassidic storyteller in the street and stated He told what he wanted and I heard what I needed. That is Art. ...
