Troy Whitethorne - "to create, is to put your soul, on paper,!" i love still life, cultural art, abstracts and nudes. My passion for art, is number one on my list, i love art, and its a way to express who i am.......

Yoli Salmona - I paint to capture an experience, a feeling, and strive to share it through colour, form, and light. AERIAL LANDSCAPES It's a different beauty from the air, more poignant and more objective in its apparent immobility. Whether formal or natural, the landscapes seen from the air become become more abstract. I can playfully re-order and move around details and elements of reality- mostly trees and shadows- like tesserae in a mosaic. PORTRAITS To portray is for me to express an unequivocal presence, a feeling for an actual person. Sometimes, there can be an ambivalence, an invitation to a question, particularly fascinating when painting young people. For me, a successful portrait has an element of timelessness, while revealing something about the subject's present circumstance. BACKGROUND Born in France, I was a child who was drawing all the time. But for various reasons, I was unable to attend Art school growing up, and became a clothes/costume designer for ten years before studying (section Communication Visuelle) at the Paris Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. My aim then was to reach a wide audience trough Print, and Paris Art Publisher Flammarion gave me the first of a...

John Vasiliou - I approach my art through intuition more than conscious effort. Making art is my way of disengaging from ordinary experience, giving life to the force of the psyche- that which Carl Jung described as "active imagination". My emotional response leads to possibilities taking form through different media. The "themes" behind my images point to the interior realm and the natural world- the metaphysical and the phenomenal. Much of my work suggests to me an atmosphere in transition composed of distinct elements-- my role as an artist is to integrate those elements into a kind of "ordered chaos" where abstraction and objectivity meet. My intent is to create images that are original and vibrant- that have the quality to engage the viewer, prompting a sense of wonder and inviting reflection....

Carla Goldberg - Carla Goldberg-Artists Statement: Bodice Of The Goddess-The Secret Life Of The Hudson I have been working on this series of mixed media paintings since January of 2009. In "Bodice Of The Goddess- the Secret Life of the Hudson River", I give liberal license to the stories behind the histories, myths and legends of the Hudson River exploring the playful and vengeful sides of the River Goddesses of the Hudson. It is the interaction of Goddess affections and jealousies, in play with Earth, water and the human world that puts the viewer as witness to the wave action and radical weather phenomena unveiling before their eyes. The way I interpret it, River Goddess lore has us believe that it is Diva like temperamental female whims of self indulgence that create an emotional response that is reflected back into the river creating the constantly changing waves and sudden and glorious storms that brew over the Hudson. What we as humans perceive is not the true intentions of the Goddesses, for Goddesses do as they please and play with all the elements as mere toys. Even Kipsy, the Hudson River's own mythical version of the Loch Ness monster is a ...

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. My paintings are composed of figurative and abstract melodic forms. 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 ...

Sylvia Styleulove - Art is my passion. I have been interested in exploring and understanding life through art since I was a small child. I have learned to appreciate the beauty in everyday events and the people around me. Nothing is as simple or as ordinary as it first seems. Every day I live is amazing and I am grateful for the opportunity I have to share my experiences with you through my art. You are my inspiration. We all experience a balance of many things: joy and sorrow, the interplay of light and dark, textures, scents, movements, and sound. For me, balance is the key to life. Yin and Yang, so to speak. This eastern duality is simple but powerful and it is a major element in my art. It is through art that my imagination comes to life without constraints as to media. Our appreciation for what is beautiful is limitless, boundless, and formless, but we give it form. Perhaps, through my passion I can inspire you, as well. ...
