Enaile D. Siffert - Most of my inspiration comes from nature, literature, movies, music, mythology and folklore. My artwork goes from stylized to realistic and from fantasy to classic themes.

Vagik Iskandaryan - Every artist dips his brush in his soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. " Henry Ward Beecher" An artist's painting becomes reare evidence of his inner unseen world. As time progresses that unseen world changes and so does his art. For me, the process of creating vital art is mainly a search and contact with the mystical or it could be the real experience of the mystical world. It is the way of discovering true beauty. The creative process itselfe brings me a sense of fulfillment and that is what I find to be so exciting and enjoyable. An artist should always strive for perfection because the perfection is the atribute of beauty that is the path he has chosen. Nothing should stop him until he can taste the nectar of perfect masterpiece. Then, he can fall in love not only with his art, but also the unseen world from where the real art manifest itself.

I called them the inner landscapes The second is pure abstract But the main source of my inspiration, knowledge and experience in art, I have obtained through my wonderful relationship with ...

Ken Hillberry - In art and in life, dynamics of balance, integrity and tolerant interaction of all elements or participants ought to be see, experienced and maintained. At the same time, the challenge of affecting this balance is creatively encountering all changes and adapt accordingly. For some, the destination or pre-determined outcomes are sought more often than not. Then there are some who savor the journey, thus witnessing and enjoying developments along the way. I fall into the latter category. It's like watching the film develop in a darkroom. the image takes form a little at a time right before my eyes. The creative process, for me, is void of pressure and timeless. The ability and practice and discipline are central in my approach. My creative intent is to engage a viewer in thought and emotion, as well as, with their eyes. Using imagination, retrospect or model, my range of composition can be conceptual, perhaps impressionistic or abstract in application, but always developed to evoke an awareness and appreciation for the relative conditions in life experience and art form as I incisively or playfully interpret my experiences along the way. ...

Ronald Lunn - As an artist, the art I create is something that doesnaEURtmt have a simple definition. My artwork is about personal growth, I constantly strive to evolve and improve my techniques.

Dennis Rennock - Dennis Hugh Rennock artist statement From the pure and simple clarity of vision to the intensely multifaceted and complex visual arts purpose is to stimulate individual growth in thought, perspective, wonderment and truth. Intellectual and emotional representation of line, stroke and color breathe life into the artists vision of truth, beauty, concern and or belief.

Jaanika Peerna - I look for the universal beneath the particular and for the particular above the universal. I draw on a sheet of paper placed on floor - I move around the paper and then mark down the lines and dots capturing the very moment at hand. No pre-made plans in my head. When drawing a line or dot my whole effort and attention is there at the tip of the pencil. By listening to the momentary sound the pencil makes on the surface, every drawing is the most truthful memory of the time taken up by the making of the drawing. There is no beginning or end, no top or bottom, no reference to the scale of it all. In the viewers' eyes, ears and mind, the continuous movement of lines and dots on the surface offers many kinds of silence. In my video work I point my video camera towards carefully chosen ordinary phenomena and record long takes without moving the camera in the hope that something essential about the subject matter reveals itself. I study the footage closely by slowing it way down and at times reversing it. I try looking at it upside down or sideways, all this ...
