Artists Describing Their Art:

Kikuko Sakota - The recent themes of my paintings are imaginative world coming into my mind, while walking in hills and forests. Fresh air, smell of leaves and soils, color of greens, and singing of birds make me recall fairy tales: the witch living in the woods, dwarfs playing music, and so on. It is my bold attempt to interpret invisible but natural miracles into picture planes with my skills focusing on color employment, brushstrokes and composition for those elements.

Ruth Olivar Millan - Artists document their lives in a pictorial or emotional journal... the pains, sorrows and joys of their path are imbedded in their own artwork. It is an honest historical documentation of their perception of reality. It maybe pleasant, intense, serene...A painting can be a life time of poetry, a life time of viewing or silent conversation for the viewer. The thickness of the paint, the colors, textures, movement, balance, shape, line and symmetry or the absence of it all in a work of art, is creating something new and unique. Giving birth to new idea, that not only represents life but becomes life. The poetry of Art always brings out emotions of the interactionist. All this encompasses the viewer, that is the true artist. For new each perception is birthed a new meaning. Imagine life without creating art? can't even imagine any one not believing in it. The creative process is linked to the process of solving problems and opening minds to science and equations not yet solved. It opens our evolution to questioning and solving our problems, physical and well as emotional. It promotes healing and peace. I do art because I have to. I do ART ...

Nick Pike - ARTIST STATEMENT I recreate everyday urban life into striking scenes, using vibrant colours and stirring movements. Walking everwhere with my eyes open to possible settings, I look to find stories to embellish. Having a strong passion for music and a way it interacts with the mood of the painting, I often create soundtracks to the pieces I'm working on, which also encourages spontaneity. I used to concern myself with making everthing perfect, yet emotions and moods are made of something much more raw. I started to use pallette knives and frayed brushes to lure me in a more expressionist mode. I love it when I'm painting a figure from careful observation and it turns into someone I know and thinking of their characteristics alters the picture. Since moving to the country, I created a body of work immersed in nature greens to seek calm and solitude which I'd been craving for years. Now visiting towns and cities fills me with a renewed curiosity, seeing with the fresh eyes of a tourist. When I find the perfect place, I sketch and take a series of photographs in succession of my 180 degree view, with people moving in and ...

Marcia Dietz - Through the interaction of mark making machines, our relationship with technology, and each other, is investigated. Process and experience rise above the final product. Scientific, sociological, psychological, and artistic discourse flows. Answers produce more questions. All resulting in a better understanding of how we work together individually, in society and with technology. My intention is by clearly seeing the absence of a creative force in the making process we can better understand its presence. Like many experimental works, the "Drawing Machines" creates a unique set of new questions: Where is the art? in the product? in the machine? is this art at all? and knowing the machine has no intention when drawing, why do we still try to see something in it? I prefer to pose and not to answer such questions because for me a good work or art creates a memory, or starts a conversation, a great work does both....

Shoshana Kertesz - In 2003 Shoshana left Hungary and moved to Jerusalem, Israel. She continued to exhibit her artwork throughout Hungary and Israel. The works from this period show an orientation toward biblical and Jewish subjects. In her biblical paintings she uses strong expressions of solemnity and seriousness on the faces to convey the drama of the moment. "I am not concentrating solely on the story itself but mostly on the spiritual response that the story evokes in me". Her more recent works include realistic portraits of great artists, writers, poets, musicians. "I choose my subjects not just based on whom I admire but whom I can identify myself with on certain levels. For me it is also a psychological study, to make a thorough research on my subject`s personality, to dig as deep as possible into their art and to live and breathe who they are in order to bring out the most realistic expression and reflection of their inner and outer being as well as -consciously or not- my own. We achieve the best results in art when we totally identify ourselves with what we want to express. For example if I paint an earring I shouldn`t just look ...
