Artists Describing Their Art:

Billie Jean - Billie Jean (born in the 80's) is an italian artist and architect. His artistic field is deeply linked to pop culture, which inspired his pseudonym (quoting a famous song of 1983 by Michael Jackson). It's also related to Pop culture the frequent use of symbols and themes already entered in collective imagination. His works deal with various issues, which are inspired by political and social events, but also from the description of very personal moods. His work tries to be a personal synthesis between pop art and street art, since several works are expressly designed to be painted on urban walls. The main characteristic of the works of Billie Jean is the clean and bare style, usually just in black and white. Often lacking in details, his artworks reflect tragedies and discomforts of society through the simple sketch of the eyes. The expressive drama of his works is sometimes underlined by using absurd and twisted perspectives that drag the viewer into an "impossible" and sometimes "dreamlike" world. To get his stroke so essential, he uses the computer drawing, main technical characteristic of his paintings. His artistic influences lie in 80s Pop Art (J.M. Basquiat, Keith Haring) and ...

Tony Rodriguez Juan Antonio Rodriguez Olivares - My paintings are inspired by the ancient philosophies of the world, poems, nature and modern society. By combining ancient motifs and modern universal elements, I integrate the past with the present through unique symbolic creations that represent the peace and harmony of a utopian world. I use elements such as towers, buildings, machines and other objects citing freedom, uniting history and human experience. I am often confronted and challenged by positive and negative elements, their resolutions finally manifesting themselves in the interplay of novel harmonious expressions. In the process of this exploration, I have discovered that persistence and dedication are the basic elements of art....

Danko Merin - Danko Merin, an artist that originates from a determined type of new figuration, from the echos of expressionist realism, expresses in his paintings stratified, complex structures of his individual experience, far from the mere description or explanation. In front of his work, an observer penetrates and directly explores the impersonal and sterilized purity of the artistic syntax. It is stimulating, it can refresh and humanize. Movements in these pictures represent the transmission of vibrating energy. They are like the waves of light in the center of a man they meet at the subtle point where mans physical shape and nature meet. It is a force from which man sometimes gently moves away, but soon after, desperately wishing to come back, dives into it again. If you asked an artist which themes and motifs are found in their works, their most common answer would be a self-portrait. Through the scenes of landscapes, flowers, and historic scenes, painting is just another way of keeping a diary. A personal diary where yesterday is a reflection of todays memory and todays dream becomes a nuance for tomorrow. Thus, art becomes a way of remembering past experiences and events and shares them as personal ...

Ekaterina Nikidis - I always emphasise the decorative side of my artworks. But as is often the case in life, behind the luxury cover there is something that one had particularly carefully wanted to hide. The beauty captured in my artworks has never existed aEUR" it is just a game of consciousness transferred to the material. It is an illusion created with a longing for the past or the never-past. The figures are connected by thin threads of mutual stories. I suggest to the viewer discover them. In my artworks, I explore the phenomenon of human identification including self-identification through the objects of the material world created or used by them. The study of the person - artefacts link led me to the series that depicts the surrounding objects as independent players involved in the story. So, my practice is a journey between eternity and a moment, light and shadow, history and the present day, matter and illusion. Its an endless exploration of different spaces, the essence of things, and the depth of human minds....
