Artists Describing Their Art:

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...

Anne Bertoin - My paintings emerge from a combination of the fictive pure imagination and the real concerns with destructive phenomena, both historical and actual. I do not work by starting off from an idea or a subject rather, the image comes out from gestural act, from a complicated network of drippings and splashes of paint. I like to stress the physical aspect of the painting by using large scale canvasses and by acting with some kind of violence in the process of painting while enhancing the constructed, tridimensional aspect of a vision. Although my spaces are not constructed according to photographs, in some of them, the result resembles photography, however strangely. Improbable places - species of urban ruins- seem to emerge from a fluid and multiple image that retains the traces of successive interventions. Superimpositions, layers that evoke an uncertain memory overtaken by historical events give the impression of a narration that is incomplete, disconcerted. Before these images, that evoke the violence of a disaster for which the origin is unclear, the viewer is confronted by a disquieting experience....

Pansa Sunavee - Art, in my meaning. is working with creative independent spiritual and by natural way. aEUR"I has never expected the thing till job finished. aEUR"That is also consciousness aware of present and feel relax. aEUR"Moreover I can find, all the completed work, the movement in peaceful, aEUR"the brightness in the dark and the harmony in conflict which are changing state and stable state in the same time. aEUR"aEUR"Whenever, the more I am trying to learn what it means, the worse I can understand. aEUR"However, I has given up to understand the meaning neglected myself, then I can get it. aEUR"Nevertheless, no word can be explained, the answer has been in my work.aEUR" For me, photography is just like a door conveying the aesthetics of art. aEUR"It is a kind of art created from the real situation around me which can happen every second. Sometimes I seek for the beauty of things surrounded and then shoot them aEUR"with personal perspectives and feeling towards the objects or incidents. aEUR"Sometimes when I would like to forward my idea to the others,aEUR"I will bring and redesign all stuff with beauty and hidden message to the viewers of my photos. In part of photography, I ...

Pansa Sunavee - Jeffrey Davies - My paintings develop by experimenting with shape, style and color until I am satisfied with the balance, excitement, and energy that the work shares with the viewer. I am influenced by my experience in design particularly with color and style. I am not afraid of new techniques and directions and am constantly expanding the scope of my work by honoring my own ideas and direction. ...

Pamela Rys - My artworks mainly exhibit rich internal feelings as well as the most sombre corners of my soul in favour of catharistic effect. I focus mainly on emotional side of the life experience. Colours take the upmost importance here. They symbolise my feelings and the way I perecieve the world. The juxtaposition of white and black are in the sharpest contrast to each other, which is purposely used as a main form of expression. They depic constructive and destructive feelings on the equal ground. My style is often defined by stencil and texture art. I work in a variety of media, because I always need to try a new ways to express myself. ...

Dave Martsolf - Dave Martsolf Dave Martsolf was born in 1949 in Kansas, moved to Western Pennsylvania in early childhood and at age 12 moved to New Hampshire where he resides today. MartsolfaEURtms father and grandfather were architects and his mother a professional photographer. Martsolf attended MIT and later UNH where he earned a degree in Fine Arts. His early work was influenced by the great masters and others such as the post-impressionists Miro, Matisse, Kandinsky, Klee, Picasso, and the surrealist Salvador Dali.

His style extends from realism to surrealistic to fantasy and abstraction.

Laurie Macmillan - Born in Greece, and having also lived in Israel and Nicaragua as a young child, I never felt as if I belonged in the Illinois of my childhood. I was irresistibly drawn to the West, where spaces were large and choices were expansive. To me, that landscape was exotic, and the geology was fascinating. I was also driven to explore the world. In 1973 I visited several third world nations and saw horribly overcrowded slums, realizing then that overpopulation was the world's worst problem. Travel was my focus for thirty years, along with hiking in the jagged, dramatic mountains of California's eastern Sierra. Now, painting has become my new travel, and an even more rewarding path to discovery. Although largely self-taught, I attended a weekly abstract painting workshop for several years, and have participated in numerous other workshops. Probably the artistic movement that has influenced me the most is abstract expressionism, and I love its depictions of pure energy. Tonalist paintings have always appealed to me; realism does not. I'm most interested in the play between color, texture and shape, and I paint with both ends of the brush, a palette knife, combs, sponges, seed pods ...

Larain Briggs - I began painting at the age of 10 and had work in a gallery by the time I was 14. When leaving art college I was chosen by'Sweet Waters Gallery' in Edgeware, London to exhibit with them and consequently exhibited at various venues such as the Business Design Centre in Islinton 1991 and the Sophia Arts Fair in Bulgaria. I was very humbled and priviledged to exhibit at the Business Design Centre with Walter Nessler. After that I had very unfortunate personal problems and had to focus on them. During that time the gallery closed down and I lost touch with the art world. I then had to move away from London and have now been working and exhibiting my art again on the coast in Essex, UK. Despite describing myself as a painter, I now work in mixed media to portray various styles and genres. My work was previously figurative but has now evolved more into abstract, Dada and sometimes surrealism. I studied art at Camberwell Art College and trained to teach art at Goldsmiths College. Having studied art therapy, psychology, fine art and computer aided visualisation; I enjoy the challenge posed by stretching multi-disciplinary skills and ...
