Artists Describing Their Art:
Paul Ygartua - THERE IS AN ENERGY, A HIGH WHEN CREATING When you are influenced by everything around you, whether it isAC/a,!A" the people in the world, their culture or nature itselfAC/a,!aEURoeit is emotional and personal. It is these emotions that one tries to AC/a,!A"expressAC/a,!aEURoean inside view of your thoughts, your feelings and your AC/a,!A"ideas.AC/a,!A" The next painting will be the best. It has been an ongoing struggle for perfection AC/a,!aEURoe being able to break through mental and physical barriers, pushing the envelope to realizing and developing that vision until ultimately a style is born. Then taking that style and working it until it cannot be developed further and only then moving on to adapt this to new ideas, taking you on a journey of versatility and determination to the next painting. I am always looking to improve on each work so as to fine tune my coordination between body, mind and spirit with emphasis on reaching the point whereby my hands almost are moving without consciously guiding them. Speed is an integral part of the process as it forces one to not dwell on exactitude rather it forces a continuous flow of inspiration and passion. My concept of painting is the ...
Robert Pelles - As an award-winning practitioner of Hungarian commercial graphic art (a career he forsake after 20 years of owning his own successful design firm in order to commit himself solely to painting), Pelles understands and delights in using the idiom of abstract forms. His paintings tell stories about people. Even his houses-- memory scraps on RobertaEURtms' never-land landscapes -- come to vividly throbbing life in the absence of figurative forms. The conceptual quality of PellesaEURtm art, his superior drawing skills, concordant use of color and structural harmony have made him one of the most sought-after Central European artists today. ...
Michael Kehrlein - painter,sculptor,textile artist ,My creations fit perfectly(sic) in a wabi sabi urban zen environment. Because I stubbornly believe all the care my hands give to each and every process of my textile creations or stone sculpture creates something more than just a "look." It may be subtle, but you know when you wear or touch. You know when that piece ages with you. You feel the thought of that person, who made it for you, the invisible. I work with aEURoeslowaEUR materials, not flashy, not necessary pretty, not cheap, not easy, but those that will give a soul to the piece. I would like to offer you the best and unique. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. ...
Andrea Benetti - Manifesto of Neo Cave Art was presented by Andrea Benetti at the 53rd Venice Biennale in the Natura e sogni AC/a,!A"Nature and DreamsAC/a,!A pavilion in the Ca Foscari University, San Giobbe, Cannaregio, Venice, Italy MANIFESTO DELLARTE NEORUPESTRE Manifesto of Neo Cave Painting by Andrea Benetti Since the dawn of humanity, well before the invention of written language, Man felt the need to communicate, to leave some trace of his passage through this world. This he accomplished through painting. Early Man had to deal with the sun, the earth, the waters and the sky every dayAC/a,!A| had to find a way to find his place in the balance of Nature. And even when Nature was unthreatening, he was in awe of Her, treating Her with the respect due a Deity, in full awareness of his own human limitations. Contemporary Man has denied those limits and trampled that respect, placing himself at the center of the universe and giving his own selfish needs absolute priority. In doing so, he has stupidly destroyed the enchantment and desecrated the sanctity of Life and Nature. So letAC/a,!a,,C/s take a step backward. LetAC/a,!a,,C/s start over, with the proper respect for Nature and for human ...
Eduardo Guelfenbein - Eduardo Guelfenbein's art has always been dominated by the commanding presence of the figure. Close to a free narrative figuration which represents a South American expression, an imprint of energy of speed and movement, he constructed certain of the latter works in free of form, leaving the work to express itself, exploding the outlines of faces and bodies, favoring gesture and color. Waves in vibrant colors create shadows and in a picture as "Peopled" it is practically impossible to decipher the puzzle that mixes the faces and the bodies in colored whirls. Some suggestive signs arise such as an eye, or a profile inseparable from a movement that runs, encompassing the entire canvas. This fluidity, that gives the title to the exposition, characterizes perfectly the latter animated work of a volcanic spirit close of the primordial and veiled force that presided Creation. Here, Guelfenbein finds the way of an "almost abstraction", whirling, lively, that comes close to European pictorial experiences such as Cobra, and particularly of Lindstrom (not exactly Cobra), of which the research corresponded to the exploration of the basic energies translated by the usage of the bold colors and the "sculpture" of pictorial matter. ...

Artur Pashkov - Artur Pashkov is an artist originally from Russia. He arrived to New York in 2001 to explore the land of the opportunity in his career and passion. Here, Artur Pashkov wants to pursue a goal of a successful artist that can reach an audience by expressing his feelings and emotions through his Art. Artur graduated with BFA from Pace University in 2007. Fine Art is Artur's gateway to share with other people his way of seeing everything around him. In this way some people can perceive through his representations and visions the world in different perspective and color.It's not easy for Artur to describe his creativity, because it's a process that he's not fully aware of. His visions are like dreams, and are not easily understood or explained. Every time he takes a brush in hand, his visions are coming from nowhere, and he does not know where they will take him. Some of Artur's paintings appear to come from another world, crazy and even scary. Artur Pashkov is a painter practically from birth, when other kids wanted a bike or a plane Artur wanted to paint. Over the last few years Artur Pashkov ...
Carlos Pardo - IN SHORT: INSPIRATION: Concious and unconcious perceptions, my background, all circunstances of my life, experiences, past and present, books and newspapers that I read, films, Internet AC/a,!A|feelings, emotions and a fertile imagination sometimes, all them aid to weave a story that will change alongside the execution of a piece. In my opinion our tradition, for thousands of years, the Arts reflect the vision of a trascendent life beyond our tangible life. THEME: Unreal cityscapes let us a special kind of plasticity. The imagination and feelings are active agents that are modeling the perceptible reality. Transcendent and oniric themes entered and remain in my artwork. In my imaginary urban landscapes there are overlaid elements of towns he has visited, some imagined, and maybe dreamed, but all with a unique feminine soul. The Town is a mother, lover, or daughter of the actions, dreams and passions of those who dwell in them or recall them in the distance. It is an idea in which wander those who have been caught up in its infinite labyrinth. PROCESS: I usually have not idea about what I will show on the surface. There is a lack of a script or previous sketch. Forms are born...

Anne Schwartz - My newest collections, entitled Zoom and A Journey Through Infinity, reflect my artistic exploration of the infinite cosmic history. I am known for pushing my palette of vibrant, and often translucent, colors to the limit, drawing out the vivid hues of nature. My paintings draw upon the earth's energy in a dangerous and imaginative drama. The paintings launch the viewer from under the earth's surface into the solar system and beyond. I explore my own consciousness to create a kind of landscape of energy and emotions. One color plays on the last, changing and twisting to form the contrasts of light and dark. Bright colors burst forth against the dark background, sending the viewer into a dazzling world of exploding stars, swirling gas planets, and our own earth. My collection A Journey to Infinity is oil on canvas. My collection Zoom is mixed media on canvas and paper. I am located in Pacific Palisades, California, and work in oil, collage and other forms of mixed media. Artist Bio Anne Brawer Schwartz has exhibited her mixed media paintings in numerous group shows throughout Los Angeles County.
