Artists Describing Their Art:

Debra Cortese - I believe everything on our planet shares a core energy, a vital life force that animates and supports all growth and renewal. In nature, when this energy is balanced and uninhibited by human interference, the flow is smooth, perfection exists. When I am truly in touch with nature, the feelings that I experience are incredibly magical, full of wonder and joy! I create the nature and plant spirit images to share these feelings, and hopefully to evoke similar feelings in viewers and instill a greater respect for the immense value of our natural environment. My visions of the nature energies evolved over many years of personal experience. I was first aware of them as a child playing in the woods and streams of my family home in the Catskill Mountains of New York. In the early 70's I read about the existence of nature spirits at the Findhorn gardens in Scotland. Fascinated by their stories, I began to experiment with communicating with the devas while gardening and hiking in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. I read voraciously and learned that nature spirits have existed throughout time in almost every culture around the world. I soon realized that my intention was ...

Can Yucel - I have been an airbrush artist for 30 years with my unique style in freehand airbrushing, and an hairy brush artist as long as I remember. Sculpture, molding, glass paintings are among my areas of interest. I play Spanish flamenco guitar and perform my own songs. Airbrushing on guitars and musical instruments are in my favourite areas of 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. ...

Tom Tabakin - I like to work and experiment with lots of different types of styles and mediums. Recently, I am immersed in wax and pigments and heat, otherwise known as encaustics. In my earlier and still ongoing work I combine studio art techniques and photographic images to create textured surfaces for the final image....

Lesta Frank - I paint the figure, color drenched in layers of metaphor. My work is about showing people experiencing moments of Self awareness and inner connectivity to our true nature. The excitement and awe found in creating art is a life-long continuation of my first adventure with finger painting as a young child. I am interested in combining realistic imagery with abstract shapes, in a shallow picture plane , The painting surfaces are enriched with layers of texture and pattern, using combinations of watermedia and collage, and the use of stencils, stamps and epoxy resin. ...

Mr Wynne has exhibited in Thailand, the United States, Spain, Argentina, Kuwait, Korea, Ihdia, and other Countries. Sometimes perhaps I say too much about my self but maybe it helps people understand what motivates my work. For your information I've lived in 8 different countries and have been around the world 5 times. I speak a few different languages, some very well; others not so well. By the way I am not a workaholic as I don't consider what I do work. I enjoy life too much. I forgot to say I am also a weight lifter as lifting weights is my Zen. When I am troubled the concentration it takes to lift makes me calm. I guess my page will probably be a little different from what people expect. Sorry I have not been uploading new work as ...

Avinash Shamdasani - Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the Art of the Creator. Artists come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the Art lives on. On many an occasion when I am creating art I have felt touch by something sacred. In those moments; I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists. I become the stars and the moon. I become the Lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the artist and the art. I become the knower and the known. I keep on creating Then it is the eternal art of creation. The creator and the creation merge into the wholeness of joy. I keep on creating And creating And creating Until there is only . The ART - Avi& MJ ...

R.c. Naso - The artists' purpose is to invent, to explore, and to experiment with new concepts, and to open new avenues of expression for the next generation of artists to explore. Just as all the important artists of the past opened new avenues of expression to explore for all who were yet to come. With this concept in mind I approach my work... ...

Alireza Vataniman - My name is Alireza Vatan-Iman and I was born on August 29, 1975 in Shiraz, which is one of Iran's largest cities. At a young age, I began to practice art and design; however, by the age of fifteen I began to take serious lessons. After a while I received my legal art and design license and I started to draw and paint professionally; however, my curious mind went on in search of the meaning of life because I was not satisfied by reality and all the things that are already known to us humans. I learned that behind our real world there lives an unknown universe. Not all of us are aware of this world because our senses are very limited and there are many feelings in life that we are unaware of because we have not yet discovered them. As individuals, we view stimuli or feel the things that we only desire to see or feel. Accordingly, I came to realize that there is a window to our undiscovered senses, especially our visual senses. In fact, at times the pupil of our eye zooms onto these certain stimuli that later gets engraved in our mind and...

Scott Galloway - I am fascinated by vintage pop culture: the extreme drama of Expressionist Cinema, the lurid colors of golden-age comics, the vision of the future displayed by Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. I think the strata of ephemera and "throw-away" objects of a society provide interesting insight into the history of a place and people. The way in which those artifacts are hunted down and collected by individuals says something equally interesting about the nature of the human mind. The images I create are mash-ups informed by these various influences. My work is Photomontage and the process, I believe, is true to the inspiration. Each image is digitally constructed from scanned found objects and photographs I have taken. "Throw away" items are layered on top of flea market treasures. Individual visual relics are alternately submerged or revealed within the surreal architecture of the piece.&...

John Peter Glover - At its foundation, my work uses a linear element as the basis for the composition. The intended result is to suggest or convey the essence of an object(s) in a vague manner often wrapped in an expressive emotional context. Based on a vast supply of my own drawings as a primary resource, I compound and refine the images until I'm satisfied that I have the right combination. Often, this is a matter of using layer upon layer of a building process within the image area. The subject or theme is certainly contemporary. I consider it to be more sensual than it is political, yet expressive, somewhat akin to the expressionistic style of the mid-twentieth century moderns. The work is also more surreal than representational. I work both with traditional mediums (acrylic on canvas) as well as with digital tools. Regardless of the medium the central concept or message is never a "slave" to the medium. The images will assume a varied appearance or "complexion" depending the medium . Although I find that the digital work in general is not always understood in terms of it's archival integrity, I can assure my buyers that my work is always ...
