Alexandre Nodopaka - 1. To portray ideas in a fresh style, but most important I was Born for Art, I Live for Art and will die for Art. 2. Abstraction in art is the greatest spiritual meditation & an ideal cerebral masturbation. 3. Photography killed representational art some 150 years ago. The computer killed abstract art. Today, thousands abstracts can be created in a day, they may be worth a thousand words but not a penny! 1. Pour peindre des idees dans un style frais, mais plus important je suis ne pour l'Art, je vis pour l'art et mourrai pour l'art. 2. L'abstraction dans l'art est la plus grande meditation spirituelle & une masturbation cerebrale ideale. 3. La photographie a tue l'art figuratif il y a quelques 150 annees et l'ordinateur a tue l'art abstrait. Aujourd'hui, des milliers d'art abstrait peuvent etre crees dans un jour... ils peuvent valoir mille mots mais pas un centime! 1. Para retratar las ideas en un estilo fresco, pero mas importantes de que era nacido para Art, vivo para Art y morire por Art. 2. El caracter abstracto en el ...
Dragutin Barac - "The eyes are reflection of the soul" So and my art speaks about me. Sensitive and refined sense of observation created me as the artist with both, painting and photography skill.I started paint in watercolour technique. After I visited London and Amsterdam, where I spent three years, I slightly changed my view of life; started with another approach of art - PHOTOGRAPHY. Spending most of the time in different places, mainly by nature, I become fascinated with Mediterranean mysticism what is everywhere visible. I am a member of CROATIAN FREELANCE ARTISTS ASSOCIATION and CROATIAN FINE-ART ARTISTS ASSOCIATION. I have been working as freelance for a twenty years....
Evie Tirado - My journey as an artist began with my first crayon. I have always been in love with color. Over the years I've developed a passion for lines, forms, space, and the spaces between . Be it paint, inks, dyes, or watercolors, each media excites me. I experiment in diverse styles, allowing the subject, materials, and concepts, to influence the final outcome. My work is often a fusion of opposites -- chance and deliberation; remnants of the past link to the present; fluid pools of color, allowed to drip and layer and develop alongside the thick, structural impasto effects. For me, art is a necessity; a surrendering, a discovery, and a celebration. It transforms thoughts and ideals into dimensional realities beyond the flat surface. The interior process of abstraction suspends me from isolation, and connects me with my most authentic self,as well as the rest of humanity. ...

Sonja Tellison - More than simple faerie tales, myths can teach, heal, act as morality guides, or beacons of inspiration along a sometimes murky spiritual path. The myths of a culture are its soul. They are whats left behind when the political border lines have changed and the people themselves are gone. Myth helps us to understand our own nature as well as that of the world around us. Joseph Campbell, noted scholar and one of the foremost authorities on mythology states, Myth must be kept alive. The people who can do this are artists . . . . The function of the artist is the mythologization of the environment and the world. At a time when we, as a society, rely more on science and technology for answers to our various quandries, than a collective, traditional knowledge, refocusing on mythologization is more important then ever. Are you anxious Here, take a new pill Are kids more violent Must be the video games The adage Theres nothing new under the sun. is itself certainly not a new concept. If we delve deep enough, the answers are already existent, like diamonds in the dark. When we forget the stories of our ancestors, we forget our own past and...
David Sananman - My artwork, across different mediums, is about exploring the dimension not visible to our eyes. I am trying to bring forth into physical reality images and animation that comes from within my mind. Through the different mediums of painting, printmaking, and animation I get to discover the strengths of those particualar artmaking techniques and apply it to my abstract work. Much of my work is simply applying what I have learned of art's essences such as color, composition, technique, and theory. I derive a great sense of fun and mystery that I hope others will also form their own impressions from looking at my work....
