Artists Describing Their Art:

Claudia Beldent - "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with quality" Born in Paris, France, Claudia Beldent grew up in a highly artistic and business oriented environment surrounded by painters, award-winning designers, as well as three generations of French Chefs. She emigrated to Montreal, Canada in the 60's, had an education focused on Language and Arts, studied in Business Administration leading her to join the family furniture manufacture and interior design company. Relocated in Miami and energized by its "shining tropical colors", Claudia took two years of extensive courses in ceramic technique before embarking on an artistic career in the mid 90's. Influenced by French masters such as Picasso, Matisse and Leger, she began to paint on "clay canvases". Her ceramics, vibrant in colors, animated in themes and intricate in details, are the result of the challenge of mastering ceramic painting with the complex skill of firing ceramics. The shape of a vase, the depth of a fired paint, the feeling and shine of a glaze are the reasons that moved the artist towards the ceramic world to channel her love for Art. Her expertise and constant drive for new venture...

Marie Weaver - In part because of my academic background I work in various mediums, but I focus primarily on ceramics. Im drawn to the physicality of natural materials and the process-oriented nature of clay. I respond to the creative and observational challenge of drawing in space as well as on the surfaces, the intellectual engagement of meeting technical and conceptual challenges that are as engaging as a puzzle, and the hazard of chance introduced both by the materials, the firing process, and ongoing inspiration. Vulnerability, protection, and strength are central concepts in my figurative work. Although a particular current event or passing interest may capture my attention and result in a piece, I have an ongoing concern with threats to our planet. ...

Elisaveta Sivas - I am an artist working with different medium like clay, oil on canvas, ink pen on paper. I am also interested in fashion and theatre costume. My art is concentrated on women world and feelings. It is very emotional and delicate, but at the same time it is much spontaneous. Through shapes and lines I explore inner self, our world, Universe connections and interactions. My animals are kind and magic. My horses are carrying pomegranates on their back. They want to bring positive energies to our world. My wish is to add magic, to bring positive mood, to search for sophisticated lines and shapes, to enlighten our life with good vibrations. I love nature and animals, I am concerned about our planet. I am trying to lead more natural life, to grow my own food, to recycle and to care about the world. My best award is when my buyer is happy with my art. When I make people happy, I am happy myself....

Tony Briffa - As a Maltese artist living and working in Denmark, I feel my feet immersed in two very different cultures., the central Mediterranean and the Scandinavian. Considering this, my work does have a particularly unique twist. Over the years, I have sought inspiration from various sources, both natural and man-made which lead me to develop my own idiom in expressing myself in clay. My latest work mainly attempts to transform retrospective images of form and space from my past experience into 3D sculptures.A At times, small decisions regarding the final shape, colour and texture of my work seem so hard to take. In these moments, I struggle to strike a balance between conscious and unconscious impulses to make the right decision. Describing technically my work, I would say it is mostly hand build, some fired ware with applied photographic and silkscreen decals, on-glazes besides other glazing methods. ...
