Surrealism Art For Sale

Artists Describing Their Art:

Sharon Ebert - I paint because I love it! Born and raised in Chicago I now live in Fiji, in the heart of the South Pacific which has given me a kind of peace and tranquility that I discovered living on the ocean, along with elevating my sense of humor. I paint what I see and feel, always experimenting with new impressions that I put on canvas. I like to call my work "Gentle Surreal Escapes". I hope my paintings are enjoyed as much as I enjoy creating them....

Werner Hornung - In my work, accident is the nucleus of visual propagation with multidirectional trajectories. Like an unpredictable game where each random move generates a new relational order and a new sub context on the whole. The game only ends when you don't surprise anymore playing it. JD Jarvis wrote in his latest book "Going Digital" about my work: "His images utilize nearly all the manipulation, painting, and digital techniques available. The synthesis of tools, process and styles shows the way to an expressive and versatile new way to make art." ...

Yulia Korneva - When after the midnight the lights and shadows are mixed up in sleepless eyes it is time for me to create the instant pictures of the world between the dream, nightmare and reality. My name is Yulia A. Korneva and everything I create is my way to express what I saw and feel. Even the portraits for me are a way to see something more then a photo made with pencil or oil colours. I find very interesting the posthumous or revival portraits when sometimes I have to assemble the expression, colours and background from different photographs. I was born to Moscow (URSS) in 1981, my grandfather was a painter. I started drawing to surprise my classmates and soon I could not imagine my life without creating something. My first work was the illustration for book of poems "August" (Indipendent publisher; Moscow; Russia) written by Nadezda Korneva in 2000. My first personal exhibition took place in 2004 in Turin, Italy. Now I artist, mother and I also make another job for living, but I hope to have one day more time to dedicate to creation....

Satu Laurel - Sublime and the search of beauty are the main starting points of my paintings. Traditional techniques serve that idea. There is also a hint of mystical, unanswered questions and secrets. Paintings are driven from psychology and unaware, hidden thoughts. Christian themes like Creation and human-God relationship interests me. Contradictions and paradoxes are fascinating. Ugly can be seen as beautiful and old gives a birth to a young. Letting go from the usual gives freedom to see more than the present moment....

Lynette Vought - I heard a writer say once that how we experience life is an illusion and that the purpose of art is to uncover reality. Indeed, reality seems quite like a set of unturned cards, and I'm not sure we can define it until after our hand has been played. The best solution I have found is to fray the edges of the illusion a bit by bending the laws that everyone knows. In my work people can fly, plants and people merge, women wear snorkels while making love. For me, these images hint at reality, opening a back door to the underlying truth of what I see and experience. By rendering things in a magical light, the illusion starts to give way to the real in the same way that madness sometimes serves to define sanity. Formally, my work is much more practical. I make paintings, drawings and intaglio prints based on my drawings. The prints are a mixture of old and new processes; instead of etching the plates in acid, my prints are made with photosensitive plates. I enjoy the control this process gives me over the final image. Thank you for visiting my site! --Lynette Vought ...

Gabriela Cristu - Artist name: GABRIELA CRISTU. " The Theme of the Human Being, full of contradictions, passions and sensuality, with his struggles and his anguishes but with sublime creative powers as well has preoccupied me in my whole artistic activity.

Hisham Zreiq - My art is a private perspective on life, private pains and disappointments, society, Death and a philosophical look at life. Death is the source for creation and the motor of life. Crucifixion a symbol for pain, pain caused by social, political and religious systems. I think that art is another way to communicate, to express my ideas , for me art should have a message of a sort. This is the way I saw art when I was a little boy trying to express his Ideas with simple drawings, and this is the way I see art when working on my digital art or writing poetry today. Some times I ask myself, if we can reach people through "reason"! but I think its better to get to people's hearts through emotions, through ART, and from there we might get to their reason. Or maybe use extremes in art - and that is what I usually try - in order to make people think and ponder after their emotions become tens. Then their analyses might bring with it reasoning. ...

Debra Lennox - My latest work explores the vibrant use of pure colors & composition to express an intangible, surreal quality of a place. Light, color and form combine to push the figurative subject into the realm of dreams, capturing a moment in between the frenzied pace of modern life, when time slows and we become open to other, magical and spiritual influences on our lives. I am a painter in many mediums * watercolor, acrylic, & oils, and collage. I live in Comptche, California, and travel often for inspiration. I use my architectural degree as a designer and draftsman on the Mendocino Coast. I am a member at the Artists' Co-op of Mendocino, where I sell original works, laser prints and art cards. My work can be viewed at dblennox.com or artgallerymendocino.com...

Elio Pastore - Elio Stefano PASTORE was born in Turin (Italy), where he lives and works. He has got a degree in Law, and works in the communication field for a big public company acquiring a twenty-year experience in that sector. He started using PC in 1998 for creative necessities relating to his job, discovering little by little its fascinating power and making it a trustful and indispensable tool. Fond of photography, travels and mountains, he has often put together these interests, getting numerous awards in photography contests and publishing his picture stories on different magazines. His artistic life - started in 1992 - has found in the digital art his ideal medium of expression; infact the digital art allows him to draw inspiration from the objectivity but to filter it through his personal life, so transforming it in an ideal and essential reality, spread through an emotionally intimate atmosphere. From this synergy between a personal sensibility and a technical mastery, were born pictorial imagines devoid of modern references and contaminations, creating a world with no time suspended between magic realism and poetry. Starting from the year 2000, from the original production, he has led in a parallel way, a personal research on forms ...

Jake Baddeley - All is proportion I am sitting, a cup of tea, some good music, a brush in hand and i am gone. There is nothing better: I forget where I am, who I am, and all sense of time. As Picasso once said: "I leave my body outside the studio." Or something like that... I am working on a picture of a lady on a mechanical horse. Why? What is the significance of that? I have no idea. If it "works" pictorially, then do it. Paint first, ask questions later. Too many questions and the muse runs screaming. She is very shy. You have too pretend that she is not there when she comes, but you know she is there because you have no idea what time it is, and you have forgotten your self again. It occurs to me as I proceed, that the lines stop being objects and start to become something else. Pure proportion. Just a harmony of lengths, sizes, and shapes; a prototype Mondrian. Harmony, music, interval, number; all these things are related. It is the link between art, music, and science. A good painting vibrates, because of the resonance of its parts. Vibrates visually, and psychologically...
