Artists Describing Their Art:
Kathy Donofrio - My art is a way to organize in a visual form what I see and feel through my mind's eye. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS SITE SUPPORT MY OUTDOOR ART INSTALLATION AT BURNING MAN 2014: "A Vortex for Vultures: ALIEN SANCTUARY"...
Theodhoraq Napoloni - Artistic Practice My artistic practice generally is oriented towards painting. In essence the paintings portray theatrical situations created by objects, and for a formal and aesthetic appearance the image that is represented has the quality and attributes of''FICTION REALISM''. What interests me most is the expressing of situations that deal with the unconsciousness, and it is exactly this unconsciouss that gives a lot of importance to the instinctive side and pushes me toward certain actions or pulls my attention towards something. During the realization phase of painting, this''special interest'' becomes more stronger and gives the image more apparent clearness with all the details and characteristics of the object. For me, the content I select to represent is very important. It is a selection that follows intuition primarily, and the psychological stains, putting them all together towards a real ending, that in fact, is an invisible reality whose imprints are hidden deep into fragmentilized moments of our history. All this process for me is the best tool to bring it in surface the deepest content of the truth, and the aesthetic dimension. The nature of the objects that become part of the painting is different. Sometimes the definitive images ...
Jose Miguel Perez Hernandez - There is in the paintings of Jose Miguel a cheerful vital force that propose to give us the nature to full hands, but not with that regularity that we would call realism, but to the way of a supplier that he wants to transform everything into painting. Of there their elaboration, their colors, their light. Everything has the time of the immediate. Their compositions separate from all complexity, they are solved in few directions. The space is reduced, the images pass to a first plane as to be more near us. And when we are with her, it seems as if they were waiting for us with a smile in the lips. They are as greetings, friendly words, a magnificent song and they are appreciated. Antonio Alejo It is certain that in their sincere art there is a chromatic energy that it speaks of an encounter with the poetry of the new life. We perceive their lyricism because the artist gives us the reality through her interior being that is of optimism, evocation, simplicity and a vital force that it comes from the identification with a pure art, without skillful deceits.

Georgia Papamichail - Where peace around herself big circles makes Where soul,in closed eyes,funds love in mind.... The fantasy is enough to make the form... Looks like fream the state of my thought... Sleeping and awake I am... In silence I'm touching the memory... Images for the longing of the heart... Tiny words I make for eyes... Don't you hear the echo ot my eyes? ...
Daniel Janssens - "It is the woman's beauty and mystery that have made me paint and sculpt in the first place." The artist, who previously painted only one human figure per painting, has recently begun to represent several figures, and these figures are no longer exclusively women. In sculpture also, the single human figures of the beginning are gradually replaced by intertwined figures, that go by two, by couple, or even by trio or quartet. "Previously, it was the individual that questioned me. Now, increasingly, I paint and sculpt attitudes and relationships." Painting and sculpture are based on different relationships: that between the sculptor-painter and his painting or sculpture, that between colors and shapes, that between the spectator and the work of art, and finally, the possible relationship between the different spectators. "However, I have not become a narrative artist, even if the spectator can invent stories about the human figures they see depicted." - But why only one subject? - Because the more one concentrates on one - and only one - subject, the deeper one can go, and the more style and technique can speak freely. If one always seeks to change subjects, it becomes difficult to specialize in it." It is the...

Aurora Mazzoldi - Like every artist I let inspiration grow in me, so I can transmit through my paintings the images, emerging from my subconscious mind as an inexhaustible source of experiences, stories and paths. All that is depicted through objects, faces, expressions, body positions and movements, which describe stories, dreams, hopes, illusions and desires... ...
Leo De Freyne - Here is a quotation from the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (translation R J Holingdale): "We shall do best to think of life as a'desengano', as a process of disillusionment: since this is, clearly enough, what everything that happens to us is calculated to produce." ...
Irena Tatiboit - My way of painting comes from my experience of movement in dancing; more particularly from a technique I have developed step by step in order to create new movements (gestures) when improvising in dancing. I define this conduct as a reconstruction of a deconstructed movement. Deconstruction is based on the principle of isolation. This principle which can be equally applied to motion, space, plane depth or to the idea of emptiness or of fullness enables to define different elements which I combine together in infinite variations. However this process is always the result of an intentional choice. In order for it to take its full meaning, the mental demands to which it obeys must be submitted to chance. Creation requires some constraints, and in my painting water plays this part. Water permits the conflicting elements of reconstruction to reveal themselves, and to display the premises of representation. Paintings are presented on a piece of wood of variable thickness. They may be square or rectangular, one or two-sided with sliding or mobile elements. The paintings may be hung, laid or handled. Diptychs or triptychs are my favourite shapes. Most of the time I use acrylic paint and cover the edge ...
