Artists Describing Their Art:
Kishore Shanker Chawla - Being an artist I confer to this essence because I believe art survives in every single moment of our lives. It flows like breeze, it flows like the water, it flows like a thought...uninterrupted. My art works are the reflection of my thoughts or I can say the visualization of my thoughts. I am fascinated with light and try to capture that bright, illuminated spot in my photographs. Where I found no light I adds it in through Photo-Graphics. My paintings, most of the times, have a reflection of social issues like Misuse of Ultra sound, Global Warming, Protect Wildlife and Human struggles for survival etc. These themes keep my humane inner self motivated & satisfied and I try to aware people about these social issues by awareness generation through my art works. Zodiac signs are another area of my keen interest in paintings....
Gwendolyn Thomas - "I believe euphoric creativeness from the heart is one of the most inspiring to behold! Un-restricted raw creativeness can be breathtaking within itself. To possess the ability to capture or contain what the world can and does offer each individual is a rarity and yet a blessing! The task of an artists' muse is to be used as a direct instrument of untarnished and non-conformed freedoms". Author, Gwendolyn A. Thomas "From the Heart of an Artist Quiet" ...
Sumana Biswas - Life began, like that of any mortal, with my birth. However, I started 'living' when I began to feel and register the various nuances associated with the two fundamental parts of human existence - joy and sorrow. This process was further augmented by the diverse associations with like-minded people which inevitably develop based on the most fundamental of human associations - the prime one being that of one's family. Concurrently, there developed those emotions which evolve from the complexities and tensions linked with alternating periods of happiness and grief, hope and despair. These emotions can not be properly expressed by means of language - spoken or written. It is the irrepressible urge to express these very 'untold words' which acted as a catalyst to focus all my attention to painting. I felt that it is through this medium that I could express these complex and sensual emotions. To me the very act of interacting with the canvas is a form of meditation. Further, with the hope to rid (or at least alert) society of its present state of disjoint - mostly due to the disharmony that has plagued us in recent times due mostly to atrocities in all walks of life - that ...
Ric Hall And Ron Schmitt - These pastel paintings are collaborative work by artists Ric Hall and Ron Schmitt. Ric and Ron work simultaneously, standing next to one another. They start each piece with no conscious plan as to what the final result will be. Rather, they rely on spontaneous collaboration in the moment to allow the images to develop. Working literally over and around each other, both artists develop all areas of the image. They work with little verbal discussion or debate, allowing their strokes to do the talking. At various points in the process they apply an anhydrous alcohol fixative to keep the pigment from shifting and ready it for the next layer of color. Ric and Ron have been painting using this method for over 25 years, even as their technique and perspectives have matured....
Timothy Oleary - As a photographer specializing in the digital format I seek to move from the more traditional nude to finding out the true beauty in the form by subtracting to the absolute essence of the image were the true beauty of the female form is for me. This work starts from the camera and the studio and evolves into a new form of art, niether computer art, or photography, but a marriage of both....
Michael Chomick - Being a figurative artist, my work over the past 20 years has encompassed a variety of mediums, i.e.: printmaking, mixed media sculptures, small upto mural-sized oil paintings, acrylic/bas-relief paintings, ink or graphite drawings, and constructions with various objects; all the while maintaining a strong focus on a singular theme - Exploration of the "Human Condition". The works dare to ask, in sometimes simple or complicated terms, the question of what this "Human Conditiion" is. And via the works already completed in various genres and media, the viewer is compelled to search within or externally for the answers of such queries. The genesis, or the root of the works, often stem from a point of inquiry that I wish to convey tangibly for the viewer so that they may, if driven to, pose a dialogue within themselves in the offshoot towards their own personal advancement. Being that life can gravitate in the direction of complicacy and varietal issues, so does the body of works that I have produced over the past 2 decades employing various mediums. The delving into the different media has not only kept it fresh for me as an artist, but also serves to point...

Dana Zivanovits - Dana Zivanovits was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio and received his art training from the Columbus College of Art and Design (1978 to 1982). After art school, he went abroad for a year and studied the art of the old masters in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Venice. Returning to his studio in Columbus to develop these influences into a new body of work, he then traveled to Mexico and studied the sculpture and painting of that country for an extended period. The unique and vivid colors of Palenque and Vera Cruz intensified his palette. After a period in Ohio, he then moved to Venice Beach, California where the brilliant light of the region reinforced his desire to capture effects of sunlight and atmosphere. Returning to Ohio in 1995, he has continued to paint themes deriving inspiration form sources such as world mythology, classic and B-grade cinema, literature and dreams. However his primary inspiration is direct observation from nature, versus an approach based in art theories or cultural critique. Dana has been widely represented by galleries and exhibition projects including Julie Rico and Mega Boom in Los Angeles, the Venice Art Detour, Around the Coyote Festival in Chicago ...
