Artists Describing Their Art:

Alexander Mikheychik - Until recently, it was too painful for me to part with my paintings, but now, it seems to me, they should bring joy to other people. I've been practicing yoga for more than 30 years and have a good sense of aura of other people and things. I think that paintings are energetic objects and have their own aura. Aura is the basic factor influencing the spectator (not just the form and color - factors that are essentially secondary). All the masterpieces known in art history have high inner energy that could be measured, even in quantitative terms. The painting's energy is a compound of the energy of the painted objects and characters, the energy of the painter himself, but, most importantly, the energy of the painting gets higher depending on how close the artist came to the understanding of the harmony of the surrounding world. Only then he becomes the mediator for the energy, the source of which is much higher than his own self. When an artist begins to interact with the harmonic foundations of the universe, with the energy of higher source, it starts to influence the rhythm and the harmony of his paintings. The artist ...

Lawrence Buttigieg - "My paintings are a balance of physical form and feeling. I penetrate the character of the person and focus on the inward reflective qualities. I slip my view of the subject between the layers of paint. I want my colours to be the colours of life, rendering likeness and personal stylisation inseparable. I am not concerned with the instantaneous image of the model but rather a prolonged record of his or her character."...

Lawrence Buttigieg - 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....

John Smyth - I was born and raised in Fort William, on the West Coast of Scotland. In 1996 I moved to Aberdeen to study painting at Grays School of Art. I now currently reside and paint in Arbroath on the east coast of scotland. I have found that the paintings I most admire are usually figurative which has influenced me to pursue that discipline with my own work. It is not my sole interest however. I use Abstract elements varying from simple sheets of colour to textured impasto and decorative pattern to complement the figure. These abstract elements may work simply as a background or may encrouch over the figure creating a more dynamic interplay between the abstract and the real. I feel that the contrast between the highly disciplined pursuit of naturalistic figurative painting and the freedom of working with abstraction provides balance in my work on both a visual and conceptual level. The works currently on display on my page are examples of recent paintings in which I have been experimenting with a mosaic tile effect....

John Roof - Artist Statement I graduated from Texas Tech in December, 1973, with a BFA in studio painting. I thought at that time the world was waiting for me. I never stopped painting, drawing, or growing after graduation, but when my wife, Betsy, and I moved to Staples, Texas and bought the General Store, things started to happen. Lamartine, Aries, was to Van Gogh what Staples is to me. Staples is a very small forgotten village on the San Marcos River. There are unspoiled fields where wheat, corn, and maize are grown, and live oaks and pecan trees have flourished since long before the arrival of the white man. In the spring the wild flowers have no end. The sky changes with every breath. The trees speak of color unknown to a painter's pallet, and when the wind touches them, magic. Nature is an organized confusion that comes together with color. To be able to walk alone in these fields, to watch the approaching storms, to hear the movement of the river, and to feel the wind is nothing less than perfection. I now paint everyday and take photographs by the hundreds. I have found my garden. John A. Roof ...

D Loren Champlin - D. Loren Champlin currently resides in the highlands of Maine with his loving spouse and son. Champlin showed an interest in drawing very early in life. Champlin has been painting professionally since 1992. Early works were predominately done in pastels. After about 1997, he now works predominately in oils, yet the youthful spirit of his work remains the same. Champlin boldly uses colour and line to express his artistic vision. The colour is weaved together to form a tapestry. Bold lines give a feeling of motion and energy. His works are influenced by the passion and energy of life. Painting is the symphysis between artist and subject - the subject and the artist transcends a part of themselves to the painting creating a perfect union. It is a butterfly and the flower, the butterfly paints the flower flowing on the wind to the next to create new life - the miracle of pollenation. Painting is a way of thought. There are no words really to describe the process as thoughts are emotions and hues and shapes. It is calculated chaos resulting in harmony. Painting is to capture the spirit as if one could take a breath of wind, hold it and give...
