Artists Describing Their Art:

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. I hope the viewers enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed creating them. ...

Vladimir Volosov - I was born in 1937 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). My way to art was a lengthy one. Before becoming an artist, I studied for thirty years at the forefront of modern physics as a PhD scientist and professor, author more than 150 scientific articles in contemporary laser physics. Thirty years of strenuous scientific work on the front edge of modern physics gives me a deep feeling for the anxiety and unprotectedness of the world's beauty. The formula, "beauty saves the world" fits my own attitude. My creed is also embodied in the statement: "to have time to realize everything given to you by Nature." At the threshold of my fifties, I decided to live one more life, a new, alluring life of the free artist. I walked away from my established scientific career and completely devoted myself to painting. In 1991 I founded and headed the association "Light, Color and Art" to connect with scientists engaged in the arts. The main directions of my paintings are lyrical realism and abstract compositions. My paintings are about light, color, atmosphere and space. For me, the most important elements are light and color and their juxtaposition/nexus/meeting of...

Yeoun Lee - We're all affected by what we see around us, by our experience and also by our moods. My great source of inspiration comes from nature and colors. Through the observation of it, the memory of it, and my imagination of it, nature inspires me. When I look around at the moods and seasons of nature, I feel similarities to the changes in the journey of my life. Our life contains energetic, happy, joyful but also sad, hopeless and fearful moments. When the weather and seasons change, they are like the swing of my feelings, emotions and moods. I express all these changes with different colors which inspire me. I don't paint what I see. I paint what I feel. It's not ordinary landscape. It's imaginary landscape. Each scene calls forth a technique that uniquely fits it. Nature is showing me my life. As I recreate it, I am renewed. I imagine the scene and pick the color I feel like using and start painting. While I paint, I forget unnecessary thoughts and worries and thereby I heal myself. The colors and techniques which make up my own new world depend on my mood and feeling at ...

Andrei Dobos - My art is inspired from my day to day life. I paint on the contradictions of life, the dual nature of things. My early works where about the relation between He and She in the game of Love, while my latest works focus on the relation between our true nature as spirits and what we are programmed to be by the society and the mechanism threw which society uses keeps us in its game, making us forget about our true nature and assigning different fake roles threw marketing and consumption. The goal of my art is to make a break threw in the viewers mind. ...

Ageliki Alexandridou - I am Ageliki I'I3I3IuI>>I1IoI-- from Greece. None of my studies completed me till I started painting. Art is my main occupation for the last 7 years. My studio is located at Mitika Prevezis, a small paradise by the sea at western Greece. I love to paint beauty, wherever I can find it. Although modern trends suggest I should focus on specific themes, I paint what I feel to, avoiding labels. I also canaEURtmt restrict my need to express myself through a specific style every time. Instead, I try different ways, from classicism to abstract. I even though of trying Byzantine hagiography, and thataEURtms what IaEURtmm studying the last few months. I use mostly oil colors, though a few times I start a theme with acrylics. I keep looking, searching, experimenting since I believe that art, as much as every kind of knowledge, is an internal and eternal processing. My paintings are on stretched canvas, so you can hang them as soon as you get them, unless you want to put a frame. When you buy a painting from me, you get a unique, original, signed artwork. My artworks can be found at private collections at Australia, USA, Middle ...

Mahjoob Zohourian - When I was a 5-year-old child, I often stared at the motifs on the tiles, shapes of clouds, casual cookiesaEURtm decorations chocolate and cream mixture and carpet patterns and motifs. They all seemed mysterious and strange to me. I was very keen on drawing what I could see for my family but they always told me they couldnaEURtmt see as I saw them. In my childhood, I saw all human beings like animals and it became one of my concerns. When I was eleven, I participated in a drawing contest the topic was Oh Gush, How cold is today and I could win. After that day my art teacher encouraged me to continue my painting academically. My father always accompanied me and never stopped me. I was accepted at Alzahra University in Tehran with top score in Graphic Design. After three semesters, I realized that our work tool is computer not paintbrush. So, I decided to keep on drawing individually. After too many years of being apart from the art atmosphere, I could finally graduate from the university and got MA degree in painting in 2016. My works are presented and sold in various countries and I ...
