Artists Describing Their Art:

Donald Sallot - My art I always think of taking a journey and it would be to go places that I havenaEURtmt been, much like a lifeaEURtms journal, to see and experience and feel new things. My SALLO paintings try to show different styles, techniques, combination of colors and textures, much like lifeaEURtms journey, the scenery changes. Having the opportunity to travel for long periods all over the world has allowed me to see various cultures and environments aEUR" mountains, deserts, pastures, oceans, rivers. With all of the colors and formations in the world, I want to be able to apply on canvas some of what I have seen, letting both contrasting and complementary colors flow. Some of my experiences include the desert heat and sand storms of Saudi Arabia, the icy cold and wet of Minnesota, the heat and humidity of Florida, the chilly and wet climate in Yellowstone, the humidity and rains of South America, the overcast and wetness of Europe. I decided to release some of my painting from the past in conjunction with my new work. The paintings that date 2001+ are paintings that I created before traveling for over 20 years throughout the US, Europe, South ...

Chris Jehn - I am primarily a self taught artist and have always felt creative. I worked my way through college by teaching crafts at an arts and crafts store, everything from embroidery and macrame to tole painting and pottery. I have taken numerous workshops from other practicing artists. Being with a group of other artists creates a synergy that inspires me. I now primarily work with acrylics and collage. I especially love intense color, and have made a study of color composition. One of the main reasons I live in Colorado is because almost everywhere you look there is something wonderful, and IaEURtmm compelled to try to paint what I see and feel. ...

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) ...

Shanly Momeni - aEURoeGame-maker DeviceaEUR series focuses in the unconscious human mechanism that will demonstrate itself in a crowded atmosphere. The combination and matching of strong and bright colors in an atmosphere in which Dark color becomes dominant together with shapes and masks that are hanging and rotating in a way. To exemplify or clarify a dizziness among happiness and sadness. An inner childish world with a tendency towards lighting and childhood joy with an outer and peripheral atmosphere which is dark-sometimes being lit by a spark of light. An upbeat world but concerned among many adulthood concerns...

Aisha Haider - Welcome to my gallery. I was born in Lancashire in England. I am a self taught artist and have been painting ever since I can remember. I paint in acrylics because of its versatility. Painting has always been a strong part of my life and it is who I am. Painting is an unquechable addiction that I get immense pleasure out of. I paint in an impressionistic style using a little bit of inspiration that comes from nature whilst adding my own elements too. My painting are mostly vibrant and modern. My favourite subjects are umbrellas, reflections and trees. I am very fortunate to have sold over 500 paintings in the Uk and 5 other countries. I hope you enjoy looking at my work and find something to your taste. aEURoeAs music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sightaEUR James McNeil Whistler...

Devidas Dharmadhikari - STAMP Every man is different from another. The mind, body, thought, soul of every person is different from one another. Not only this but there are many other aspects of a man that make him divine. An individual's personality every man is unique. One may be an introvert, the other be extrovert, one may be honest, one may be kind, and many other qualities like generous, dedicated, not only good qualities but also the bad qualities in man are different. One must be jealous, the other being dishonest, rude. A man has one or the other qualities whether bad or good. But how can we decide what exactly is he? Who decides that the man is honest, brave, short tempered? Who is it that gives the man this label (stamp)? How can one evaluate the person in once glimpse how much does he know the person. An individual gains different label( Stamp) from the society. How can we decode that they are true . when the individual is known as calm and good person in society how can he murder the other person living in same society we know that man is not born criminal But under certain situation it ...

Walther Von Krenner - Before I studied in Asia, Picasso and Gauguin had a great influence on my thinking. Later I admired the ideas and importance of Pollocks action painting. At this point in my journey Liu Kuo Sung, Chang Dai Chien, Fu Baoshi and Zao Wuki artists mostly unknown to the average Westener have had a great influence on my work. I am attempting to synthesize the style and spirit of their work into a new style with the same power, energy and feeling without copying their work or trying to repeat something that has been done already. I believe those artists are the rightful successors of the classic Chinese artists of earlier periods, while the mass of Chinese and Japanese artists have fallen into a endless cycle of repeating and copying the Paintings of the old masters without being able to catch the spirit and power of their role models. In general Chinese and Japanese traditional art has stopped to grow, change and adapt and therefore become lifeless and repetitive copying. The modern artists in those countries that broke loose from this traditionalism have become mere imitators of Western abstract movements like Picasso, Calder, Kline, Polock etc. and have nothing Chinese or ...
