Artists Describing Their Art:

Stasia Fisher - Art is a color in my life. With art I can leave the world without leaving the room. Through color and form Im in perpetual connection with places and beings that I love. This is my driving force to create the art that is uniquely my visual expression. About my self as artist I would say that Art which I create is threefold skillful meditation. My art recluse the mind of viewers to one object of contemplation- my composition is zen simple only one subject on the canvas at the time. Secondly it locks the glance of viewers to one point of focus - my canvas has the center where all colors and shapes descend to. Lastly my art leads viewers to goal of meditation- awakening. The burst of colors, the decisive shapes and bold form create personal and strong feeling in viewers. From there questions emerge, and the circle of perpetual communication between inner and outer world starts all over yet new again. From me, the artist, to canvas, from canvas to viewers - the circle ripples across colors and forms, meditative, void of words, yet perpetually communicating. ...

Helena Wierzbicki - I have always enjoyed art from an early age. This love of Art has stayed with me and developed and grown, and now, I cannot imagine wanting to do anything else. Making art, for me, is an innate response to the inner and outer worlds, and a balancing act between the intuitive and the considered. I am interested in exploring my natural abilities and enthusiasm for my commitment to do an art within my innermost thoughts and emotions. Shades of colors and lines turning images of beings into landscapes and symbols. My art is an evolving process, I take and represent only elements which are the essence of the imaginary being. I rely on my desires for beauty, poetics and seduction. "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887) ...

Engelina Zandstra - 'In the labyrinth of my thoughts there are many roads leading to the unknown' LANDSCAPES OF THE MIND Engelina Zandstra is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. My way of working is spontaneous. It starts with a concept, an idea in my mind, which is in most cases not well-defined. It can have its origin in the images that are stored in my imagination, or in the impressions of daily life. The paintings made in this way can be considered as'Landscapes of the mind', because they are reproductions of the ideas that are formed in my head. The style of the paintings can best be described as lyrical-abstract. Sometimes they are more figurative, at other times fully abstract. Colour is very important for me : the alchemy of colour. This defines for me the atmosphere of a painting. Usually I work in many thin layers of paint on top of each other. I let myself be guided by the forms and colours that develop during the process of painting. Each new layer gives inspiration for the following one, with new ideas. Because of the different layers and colours, the acrylic paint gets depth and character. Sometimes the...

Evon Johnson - I am a Jamaican born United States Artist. I have been drawing since I was a child with my main medium being crayons fond memories of getting lost in drawing and coloring everything from comics to portraits of Jesus. Bottom line I create art because it is something I love to do. I also love showing what I have created with others. I especially love the expression on peoples face while they are pondering the aesthetics of what they are looking at. Some of the artists that had an influence on my work were artists such as Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse, and Roy Lichtenstein. I also have an interest in photography, creating 3D Graphics and writing poetry. While I have a preference... more like a bias towards acrylic paints, I occasionally experiment with mixed media. My photography is never cropped or enhance with any software. They are always as the camera sees them at the time. I feel like whenever I get the perfect picture it is a special moment in time and should be presented as is. I hope the viewers enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed creating them. ...
