Artists Describing Their Art:

Sabir Haque - Artist statements MY CANVAS IS THE MIRROR THAT LOOKS INSIDE MY INNER WORLD Pursuing the long winding trail of a humble artists career, I have had to sketch and draw many thing . Flora and fauna, animals and humans and also human habitations.I have always found that it is not an easy task to keep one self on the trail of creativity,it always amazes one how Nature has decorated herself with stones in particular. The balancing stone or hoodoos stir me deeply.I amaze and amaze at the artistry of nature to have balanced such great boulders, one upon the other. Become my obsession, I have fallen in love with stone. Thus stone has become a main subject in my paintings. When I see and touch them, I feel they have life, human shape and characters with their words, they are performing like actors sometimes my stones fly with the clouds, sometimes my stones floating in the water, my stones can love like couple, sometime do some other things. Imagination fantastical is ingrained in to us and we love to fantacise so we long for unattainable to attains. A bard adorns his ditty with the words beautiful and creates...

Beatrice Bedeur - Born in 1961 in Liege Belgium Painter and photographer. Awarded a diploma in photography and cinematography of the ICADI 1982. Preference for the non-conventional landscapes, customized and deconstructed. Interesting and very original work mixing Cubist decomposition, impressionistic lively touch and colors, close to the fauvism and to the Orphism. We could also speak about pointillism but only for the multitude of colored touches and graphs which Beatrice spreads on her painting. Taking inspiration from photographic cliches she realizes during her ballads in our countryside, she decomposes and stylizes then the image like an architect. This first graphic work is then enriched by multiple colored touches with oil paint giving to the final set, light, heat and harmony. The use of colors is fundamental for her and she likes using them in a vast ranges. The light is also essential vital, it represents the life and the well-being which Beatrice draws from her when she paints. Her favorite themes are of course the landscapes but she also gives way to the geometrical abstraction. Sometimes, the disintegrations disappear to let colored touches take off, but we always recognize the touch of the artist. At present, Beatrice BEDEUR works on drapes, ...

Alkistis Wechsler - Reality meets myths. Personal visual impressions of chosen English gardens ... lately also Mediterranean seaside, are coming together in imaginative collages and alchemic transformation. . Sensitive to the environment as well as to human interactions and expressions it all translates into visual myths . Not only travels between geographical points, but also a thirst for such trips in the mind through myths and readings of initiatic rituals of metamorphosis, infiltrated as well my art of painting. At the end, every archetype (for example Heliogabalus, Persephone and Artemis) and every movement reaches back to the source of rhythm and scales creating a personal mythology and so I understand my self and the world after each painting is done by a hypersensitive process and not a premeditated rational plan. The seasons or the elements and their rhythm are interwoven with my vision of human soul and the soul of the sea ...

John Tooma - This site is only a guide to my artworks, you will appreciate them alot more when they are seen in real life. As a Painter and Graphic Designer/Illustrator, art is everything to me. It's wonderful to have the ability to draw and paint what the eye can see. As an observer, I love to sketch in my pads and photograph most subjects transferring the visual information onto paper, canvas or the computer. I use both film and digital photographic equipment. I draw and paint virtually everything but my passion lies with the human body. I use most mediums such as pencil, pastel, charcoal, ink, watercolour, gouache, acrylic and oil paints. I am for ever experimenting. I also work with traditional airbrushing methods, as well as using the computer airbrushing technique. It is an absolute pleasure to share my passion with you and to speak about it through art. I enjoy sketching people whilst sitting in cafes. I am forever mesmerised with the colours of birds, the pigments of flowers and the reflection of light onto surfaces. I am influenced by many painters, from Raphael to Matisse, Dufy to Klimt and many others. So sit back, grab a coffee ...

Denise Seyhun - The glowing energy of waves and the foaming seas captivate my soul, and as a result my seascapes, waterfalls, and riverscapes bare witness to my love and admiration for the force and elegance of bodies of water. Main character in my oil paintings is water, which deeply fascinates me, not only as true beauty but also with its transparent colors reflecting in constant motion. As an artist my purpose is to accomplish the portrayal of the emotional tones and depths of shades of truth that are displayed in continuous movement. For this particular reason the unseen and untold dimensions that the undertones and the overtones of bodies of water allow me to experiment with a wide array of colors on my palette. Consequently, my goal is to never repeat myself in my artistic journey as I continue to play with many shades of reflections in water until I have compiled a finite collection of all shades of water....

Dwayne Mitchell - Art or Portrait painting to me is to capture a moment in time, weather it happy or sad, it can hold a special feeling for ages, and bring to memory what was going through your mind at that exact time. it can make you cry or laugh... like watching a movie with no words...and that is what I want people to get out of my work....

Elisaveta Sivas - I am an artist working with different medium like clay, oil on canvas, ink pen on paper. I am also interested in fashion and theatre costume. My art is concentrated on women world and feelings. It is very emotional and delicate, but at the same time it is much spontaneous. Through shapes and lines I explore inner self, our world, Universe connections and interactions. My animals are kind and magic. My horses are carrying pomegranates on their back. They want to bring positive energies to our world. My wish is to add magic, to bring positive mood, to search for sophisticated lines and shapes, to enlighten our life with good vibrations. I love nature and animals, I am concerned about our planet. I am trying to lead more natural life, to grow my own food, to recycle and to care about the world. My best award is when my buyer is happy with my art. When I make people happy, I am happy myself....

Kerry La Mountain - I am drawn to events and images that are powerful. The human spirit that is challenged oftentimes becomes fragile and small. I want to convey the emotion of the situation through the figures in relation to their surroundings. Cosmos Series My work explores my love of abstraction, and finds inspiration in the incredible power and beauty of the universe, its colors, light, and mystery. My inspiration came from brightly colored photographs of galaxies, star nebula, and comets, as well as the theoretical shape of the universe and time. This series, entitled, Cosmos, explores translucent painting surfaces, such as glassine paper, acetate paper and plexiglass, as well as various methods of paint application in order to achieve various effects. The transparency is important in that the viewer can look deeper into the work, the light can shine through it and allow for viewing from both sides. I am working with formal concerns, such as composition and figure/ground relationships. I want the composition to bring about the feeling of chaos within a mysterious order. Darfur, Sudan Series The conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan in 2004 was a horror. Many people had to flee from certain death from militia groups. ...

Kerry La Mountain - John Cielukowski - I received my BA in Fine Arts from Montclair University in New Jersey in 1981. I also studied at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and The Art Students League in New York City. I enjoy painting vintage amusement park scenes, farm animals, domestic and feral felines and industrial landscapes. With my paintings of farm animals I try to convey that these animals have the same depth of emotion, feel joy and suffer just like our domesticated pets do. I donate my paintings and prints to local non-profit Central Florida groups such as (Save The Manatee Club, The Brevard Achievement Center, The Space Coast Feline Network and the Humane Society of Central Brevard) for their fund-raising efforts. I also donate to national animal welfare groups like Farm Sanctuary, in Woodstock, NY. I am an active member of the Central Brevard Art Association. I am responsible for hanging artwork at one of our aEURoeArt in Public SpacesaEUR locations....

Cathy Savels - Nature as art, in absolute detail. A never ending paradox that tears me from reality. Everything has a spirit, a voice that needs to be listened to. Creativity is my passion. This was the journey of my childhood, as I watched my father create wonderful furniture in wood and observed my mother sewing beautiful garments with fabrics. When I search for inspiration, I look over the vineyards surrounding my studio in south-west France and ideas engulf me. Dreams evolve into reality, midnight sketches become my driving force. Before my canvas, I see the world through a lens. I'm interested in what escapes me. ...
