Artists Describing Their Art:

Denise Dalzell - Painting. Illustration. Expressionism. Pop Art. Modern. Realism and, occasionally, a bit of Abstraction. My current work centers on my consideration of how we respond to each other, the stories that develop between us and around us, and how our collective stories reflect on and influence us individually. How our stories bounce off each other and combine to create new stories. My paintings are illustrations of the scenes that I encounter during my travels abroad and in daily life so, some scenes are more sweeping than others. How do we, as people of differing backgrounds, cultures, and experiences interact with each other Are we different people in a crowd than when alone How do we fit in or stand out where we find ourselves at any given moment, in any given story Stories are everywhere, and thereAC/a,!a,,C/s no predicting what theyAC/a,!a,,C/ll reveal. Body language, movement, color, contrast combine to illustrate my scenes of interaction between people and within environments. The excitement of being a part of something as unifying as a protest, the sense of adventure that comes from starting out with no particular destination, intimate moments with those we love and those we discover in the big events...

Becky Soria - Subject matter in painting is merely the trigger that allows the expression of something more profound, unconscious and possibly hidden even from oneself, and therefore all inclusive, so viscerally immanent to humankind R. AlonzoTotems beyond Patriarchy May 2014 Nature has been qualified as a female organic form by most ancient cultures, but for the last millennia or so, the world has been primarily perceived and shaped by the masculine side of the species. Our recent history however has seen a trend towards a natural reversion to a feminine bias, with women becoming increasingly more crucial to all aspects of society. These works serve to remind us about these issues and others that we continue to face the world while reinventing the female figure as an emblem for current conditions and a new Totem for the future. The juxtaposition between the representations of the animals and plants in compromised an ailing conditions and the female form that seems to swallow and revive the life- infused aspects of her creation, render a sense of hope for a future in which the maternal provides a healing force to an ailing planet.Signs.

Lora Vannoord - I am an artist originally from a small town in Michigan, where I started painting oil paintings while preparing for my retirement. I took online classes, found a wonderful art group in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exhibited my original paintings and sold my first oil painting. After retirement I moved to Florida. I started painting right away. The birds and trees that were all new to me. It was wonderful. I soon found more art classes and 3 art groups to join. Soon I had my original oil paintings in almost every gallery and local small businesses I could find that would show art for me and my groups Now I have moved to Frederick MD. A wonderful area of friendly people and lots of art happenings I am setting up my newest little studio to paint more and enjoy the joy of painting I try to communicate my love of nature to help others see and appreciate the natural environment around 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...

Geo Kat - Always the QUESTION.What is ART. Maybe THERAPY. Maybe DREAMING. Maybe...casting the PAST. Or better... the FUTURE. Or just to be... PRESENT. I dont know exactly. But I knowat least, which is my inspiration, all the old mastering, the great NATURE. Humanity. Personas very different in space and time, like Praxiteles or Botticelli or Candinsky. .......... Of course we, humans, we are nature, part of nature, part of natures mystery...... May be my well effort as an artist is to explore this MYSTERIOUS and fantastic world, and create an art that is not exist yet, as an INVENTION...............or you can say exists, but is not expressed into EXISTENCE yet. And this art exists as a living person FULL of dreams of colours of happiness, GOOD will and HEALING matter. ___I suppose also that my inspiration is whatever still lives UNDERNEATH this ancient old city, Athens...... What ARE YOU thinking ...
