Artists Describing Their Art:

Eun Yun - Artist statement Eun young yun When I was a little, I felt some inspiration from old masterpiece paintings such as Rembrandt. Since then, I dreamed to be a great figurative artist like them. So, I studied Fine Arts at Kyuong Song University in Korea specialized in oil painting and watercolor. I paint in oils, mainly because I like the richness and depth of color that can be achieved in this medium.. I want to tell story about people. What they doing in this season or on this moment? I want to describe beautifully about that. In order to go to first step, I have focused on figure painting in tradition. Mostly I paint from live models. I have tried to capture them in my paintings through the considered natural flash skin color tone, value, and correct drawing form as well as constantly fresh challenges and demands adds to my interest in and excitement about painting. There are also two elements that interest in me most is light and color. I am constantly fascinated by the way that a certain quality of light radically alters the character and impact of a subject and makes it something unique. I think it is...

Pat Heydlauff - I discovered my love for painting in 1993 as I was transitioning out of a stress filled career and exploring my creative side. As a colorist, I painted lively, vibrant mainstream artwork consisting of landscapes, florals and still-lifes. Through painting I noticed my life was becoming balanced, and filled with harmony instead of stress. Painting allowed me to discover my spiritual nature and peace within and lead me to paint in a stream of consciousness flowing with energy. This flow of consciousness energy is visible in my recent "art with a message" canvas work where you can always find hope, peace and joy in the subject matter and every brush stroke. Painting is the physical manifestation of my spiritual being. It is the flow of energy through paint onto a two dimensional canvas projecting three dimensional energy. I endeavor to convey a vital energy through sight with color and design. My inspirational and mainstream artwork can be placed in areas of the home and office to create an environment with balance, harmony and a flow of energy which enriches the viewer. I believe that in our world today with cement cities, sound pollution and isolated environments, it is difficult ...

Chris Quinlan - Splaying a half full palette knife lightly over the canvas, the layers begin to build and the impression composition starts to materialise. With the use of light colours, un-detailed strokes and dashes, I create an original vibrant image, using an original technique. I think, dream, see, I step outside my door and I am inspired to paint. I paint a simple message of positivism, neutrality and colour. I just paint the colours I wish to see. Past series of artworks i.e. floral still life, figurative abstract and mixed media, using various medium have evolved and created a practical foundation for my current technique and style. My much loved medium, oil paint, is applied in an alla prima technique, used by some of my favorite impressionists, Van Gogh, Monet and Sargent. I paint with a palette knife, this for me, limits the detail and extent of inaccuracy. Although a predominantly self taught artist, I have digested in-depth, many impressionism and contemporary art books, videos and other references, practiced and practiced more. I stand fast that my work solely represents and will always represent the neutral visual aspect in life. Each painting has unique characteristics that give meaning and ...

Farah Ravazadeh - If our eyes are the windows to our soul, then I think the visuals that our eyes capture enlighten our souls in some way. Each and every person has the ability to tap into their own sense of creativity, when we do this, it allows us to express the thoughts, emotions, dreams and wishes that cannot really be represented in words. Through the years, I have discovered that I feel my best when I am able to actively express these thoughts and feelings through visual art. My life, my mind, and my soul are a combination of what I put into my art....
