Artists Describing Their Art:

Daniela Bombelli - I always showed great interest in figurative art and music. In the creation process of my artworks, I use a great variety of gesture. So I often use the music to write poems, the sound of words to paint, a motion of the body to write a sonata and any pictorial technique to take and realize photographic images. A work of art is a creation of a new reality. A point of view. Our own. Ugliness is can be outrageously beautiful. Beauty is often emptiness. On the formalaesthetic level, I am always searching for the most efficient language. It can be old, new or both together. I am a supple artist. I think the artist is someone that is aware to openly take on himself the responsibility of his inner vision, his personal version of the world around. Directly, authentically, freely. Art is to be. If, as I believe, there is no difference between life and art, they both have inside all that is functional to accomplish everything. Life and art are unpredictable, surprising, terrifying, magical and always weird. To create life, and of course art, everything is useful without limitations. Ask yourself what you really want to create in ...

Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my visual art and also serves as a key element in the creation of my etchings. The images I employ originate from my own photographs, as well as those my research into the digital archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, museums, and foundations. Upon locating a photographed scene that I wish to translate into etching, I first make several drawings based on that scene. Moreover, using photography allows me to balance documented visuals with my personal interpretations within everyday scenes. I strive to create a convergence between the metaphysical and physical aspects of perceived reality. My etchings attempt to unveil what we mask behind personal assumptions. In other words my scenes unveil what we overlook in the ordinary world. Ironically enough, I blame this failure to notice reality . . . or what I call the phenomena of connectedness . . . on todayaEURtms infatuation with and addiction to the new communicational technologies. My artworks are windows through which people examine the mysteries of human consciousness. In fact, my use of multiple etching plates to create one etched design helps reinforce the illusion of seeing a scene through a window. Each individual area in my multiple-plate etchings becomes a windowpane separated by ...

Temo Svirely - Painting is not conceptual art. When someone looks at one of my paintings and asks me What did you want to say I find myself in a difficult position. That is, I've already said what I wanted to say through the medium of painting. With the help of color, rhythm and so on and to demand that I translate the language of art into the language of words is impossible, to say the least. I am an artist, not a writer , my materials are oil-paints, ink, pencils and so on, and not words. What else can I say Ideas and concepts are far from being the primary concerns of the artist. Enthusiasm for ideas not to be confused with artistic plans or intentions distracts the artist from the wealth of interrelation with the material, which itself dictates to him the right course and rewards with time and patience. Of course it is worth pondering on how to make a work more expressive, but a real artistic moment occurs when a pause arises in between thoughts. I will take the liberty of reminding you that art, a picture, can be understood by a man and influence him deeply, effortlessly ...

Pat Rose - My art studies began in high school, focusing on design, and continued after graduation on a University level at UC. Courses for a Ph.D. in Art History, painting and drawing and experiments in other media led me to an ultimate concentration in studio painting. After establishing an art studio where I worked as a painter, I continued my studies at Northwestern University; I completed my studies in art and theater arts at Roosevelt University. My work in oil paint on canvas represents more than one interest. It has evolved from abstract forms to figure art, landscape and natural forms. My love of Far Eastern art and culture, and its influence is often present in my work, combining sharp lines and soft edges. Generally, I am concerned with landscape, still life and figure studies, where human figures in various settings often exist independently of their backgrounds. Some works are clearly involved with theater and dance, catching the movements of figures, how they interact, and at the same time maintain their separate spaces --- an interest developed at a very young age, having grown up among theater artists. My work is both liberating and demanding. Influences include Degas, portrayals of theater by...

Agnieszka Parys Kozak - ,,I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe It was always difficult for me to write about art. I found usual questions truly challenging. Why art? they ask. Well, it was always inside of me, pulsing and just waiting to emerge, gain a physical form. When it finally does, it is flowing freely and spontaneously, like an unstoppable brisk stream. To be honest, talking about my main medium- clay, makes me the most comfortable. It is profoundly close to me. Thanks to its softness, when i hold it in my hands i interact with it and it interacts with me, it can be subdued to my vision. I see subtle feminine nature in it and at the same time it is rigid and raw. I can never fully tame her, because after shaping it, fire takes control over her. The results are always unpredictable. Clay also gives me the freedom to express myself deeper, because I can merge sculpture with painting and drawing. Working with colors, shapes and patterns keeps me interested all the time. However, there are some limitations, which...

Edward Tabachnik - Edward Tabachnik Through all my works you will find that my attitude toward color and light combines tradition of impressionism with various surrealistic situations. Working on illustrations for Kafka's novels, I was looking for a symbolic image of a mystical town. I found it in Gaudi's "Sagrada Familia". Almost on each of my paintings you can see my "signature"- flying phantasmagoria tower, which has become for me a living entity, procreating itself, connecting The Past with The Future. Fascinated with the theory of Black Holes and the origin of The World is also reflected in many paintings in the form of "Singularity", through which Time passes, connecting The Past with The Future. I was always attracted to mystery of Kabbalah, and to other Jewish teachings. Many of my works are related to these themes. After seeing the destroyed Synagogue in Berlin, I've "recreated" it in my painting, and also dedicated a number of my works to Jewish History. In my works I try to blend my fantasy with sometimes well known, sometimes created architectural details. My schooling was both - in architecture and painting. My love for architecture can be seen through many of my works. There is ...
