Cheryl Johnson - Art and imagination have always gone hand in hand with me from childhood. Repetitive marks suggesting texture,circular mandala images and brilliant colors combine in many of my drawings.

My art is my dreams made visual....

Eduardo Diaz - Statement My name is Eduardo DAOEaz and IAm a Mexican artist residing in the Bay Area since 2001. In my work I express different elements of Mexican culture, while emphasizing its Native American heritage. I incorporate native themes and images, both extant and prehispanic, into my works and combine them with personal feelings, experiences or fears. Although cultural elements are the essence of my art, through them I also like to express political and social opinions. As a Mexican, I feel in touch with the problems at the Mexican-American border, as well as with the issues facing Mexican immigrants. I also like to express the tension between the indigenous and the industrialized worlds, and to analyze the different elements that make up Mexican identity, especially when confronted with life in a different country. My favorite medium is oil painting. I use vivid and deep colors, with which I reflect the light of the Mexican sun. Some of my compositions are figurative, and oscillate between realistic scenes and more elaborated images, with affinity to surrealism. My most recent productions are less figurative and combine the same vivid colors into expressive abstract constructions. Biography My name is Eduardo D...

Vasily Zolottsev - There is only one law in art which carries objective character and comes from the very nature, conditional character and illusiveness of art! It is an indispensable condition of creation of an artistic image! It is necessary to judge an artwork by intensity and importance of the image and force of its emotional influence! Style, manner and technique donaEURtmt have any importance and they are equivalent! The good picture of a primitive artist can be much more valuable in the art sense than a aEUR~competentaEURtm picture of a realist and on the contrary! If there is an image, there is a work of art, if there isnaEURtmt, itaEURtms no use crying for the moon! And it is not important which art means it has been reached by! Everyone to his aEUR~ownaEURtm taste! ...
