Artists Describing Their Art:
Bodo Gsedl - In my works - portraits of individuals, surroundings and music - my goal is to catch what can not be seen at a glance. What is behind the image of a person? How can I make music visible? My art has to be explored. There is always something behind the first impression. ...
Dora Martinez - The fusion between imagination and technology summarizes the message in my work. Nature, city life and fashion are the sources of inspiration, The goal is to turn the simple details into new visual dimensions of light and color and to discover the infinite possibilities within an image. Through the years I accumulated a vast collection of photographs taken during my trips to Asia, Europe, North America and Central America. In 2002 the discovery process was initiated. Using the computer as the medium, I began experimenting with Adobe Photoshop, taking images to the extreme through digital manipulation. As for the present, I continue to find life and nature's uncontainable movement to be the creative platform in all my work. ...
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. ...

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." ...
Paul Pablo Sultana - **STOP PRESS** www.pablosultana.co.uk July 2007 - Just exhibited works from his latest series "221 years in the Making" as part of the UK`s International Festival of the Image (Rhubarb Festival) 2006 June 2007 - Produced his first public exhibition at the Custard Factory Gallery in Birmingham under the Mentorship of the Great Max Kandhola and Rhonda Wilson MBE. ********************************************************************* Born in Birmingham in 1963 to Anglo-Maltese parents - A diverse and multi-disciplined freelance artist Working predominately in Digital Photography, but successfully marries this with more traditional paint techniques and sculpture. The diversity of Pablo`s upbringing and career background to date is reflected in his Artwork; " .One Minute I was in the middle of the Gulf being taught how to kill people, a couple of months later I was visiting prisons helping rehabilitate Young Offenders". Not surprisingly then is the variety and seeming contradictions in both the media and subject matter of Pablos` work Pablo has never been either accepted or rejected--And he would have it no other way. Flirtations with Poetry, Prose, Sculpture, Photography, Digital Media, Oils, Acrilics, Water Colours and Pastels are regularly experienced, sometimes in charming combination. "..His eyes, hands and brain, in searching...
Michael Leyton - In his MIT Press book, Symmetry, Causality, Mind (630pages) and his book in Springer-Verlag, A Generative Theory of Shape (550pages), Michael Leyton has elaborated an extensive theory of why art has such a powerful impact on the human mind. This results in an ability to intensify the content of artworks through an increased understanding of compositional organization, that Leyton has provided in his scientific work, which includes his mathematical foundations for geometry. For example, theorems of his, such as the Symmetry-Curvature Duality Theorem, which are now used in over 40 disciplines including many branches of medicine and engineering, also explain the human perceptual response to art-works. Not only has he demonstrated this in his lengthy published analyses of classical and modern artists, but he has also demonstrated that it is possible to surpass the intensity of these artists. This he has done by using the theory developed in his books in the creation of his own artworks - his paintings, his published architectural designs, and the published scores of his musical compositions. The portfolio at the present site is currently under construction. While this is in progress, the reader can gain an extensive introduction to Leyton's artistic ...
