Erik John Bertel - I don't want to waste a lot of time with my statement. If my intentions were to be a writer I'd write a book and skip all of this painting nonsense. It's definitely a lot cleaner. So I did, it is called Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot, and it is available as a free podcast at Podiobooks.com. For more go to the www.floregirl.com site. Once I'm done with this writing escapade I will get back to painting. I miss it already. That said I still have my art site dedicated to exploring art on the Internet and showcasing my original art. The original artwork consisted of a series paintings that were done in acrylic and oil. You'll find those works on this site and they were originally showcased on a companion site called the Millennium Painting. This site goes a step further exploring a number of conceptual art pieces some of which are designed specifically for the Internet. You can to www.millenniumpainting.com to explore and enjoy. There is no pressure to buy nor is there anything to be sold on this site. We hope to keep it this way ...
Dieter Picchio-Specht - Art, creativity and imagination have always played an important part in my life, although I have only started to fully concentrate on painting a few years ago. This passion has always been part of me. I have finally given up my work as a general manager in industry - to dedicate all my time to painting. At last I do what I have always wanted to do. It is simply that a dream has finally come true. Even during my years at secondary school my paintings were awarded prizes and I should have enrolled in art classes after I passed my A-levels. In fact, a renowned company manufacturing ceramics offered me a scholarship, which I was unable to accept at the time. I have always kept up with painting as landscapes and images, abstract and impressionist. Since some years now I am able to paint full-time and fill canvas after canvas with my ideas. My new studio is right in the centre of the village of Arcegno, surrounded by wooded hills, near to Ascona, a well-known tourist centre at the Lago Maggiore in the South of Switzerland. I apply the paints directly to the canvas with a spatula. ...
Bridget Busutil - Bridget Busutil,google22976108fdd647b3.html Powered by View my page on Peacemaker Institute ARTIST STATEMENT. Art is a way of Life My life is about Art and reflects the multicultural diversity in which I was raised. I favour projects that mix Arts and multiculturalism and are interdisciplinary. I think that as an artist my world is not limited to an aesthetical dimension. Hopefully it goes beyond, through engaging a dialogue with the viewer that proposes discovery, criticism and reflection. Through my work I am offering the discovery of several worlds packed up in layers as in my encaustic, a sort of journey of self-discovery, as well as discovery of i?1/2the otheri?1/2 with the respect for cultural differences. The necessity is to succeed in viewing these differences as contributions to our own cultures and understand the wealth they have to offer. When I paint or teach students to draw a linei?1/2, I am aware of reaching out for a world without frontiers. Technically I wish to bridge the past to the present and show that there is a continuity in life experience that only artists are capable of showing. Keyword Optimizer ...
Audri Phillips - The paintings are done slowly, thought and dreamed about until the images seem correct to me. I apply layers of thin glazes and pay attention to the way thin paint runs and drips. This combination of chance and control hopefully leads to a better painting than I alone am capable of painting....

Bruno Lassalle - The art of Bruno Lassalle goes beyond the ordinary rules and hierarchies. With an amazing freedom, he opposes shapes and colours. He takes us into a poetic world where composition and strength show through colour, contrasts and rhythmic mobility, within a unified space of supreme autonomy. He takes us into a world of dreams, almost unreal and yet warm, sensual, exotic and surprisingly tangible. His works speak of life, of those moments of happiness, tenderness, loneliness or boredom that punctuate our existence, and they seem to speak intimately about us. Galerie Aude Oumow, Saint Germain-en-laye, Juin 1996 ...
