Artists Describing Their Art:

Kika Selezneff Aleman - Contemporary artist born in 1970 in Murcia, Spain. Kika lives today and works in Puteaux, France. Her impressive list of exhibitions to date comprises prestigious galleries in Spain, France, The USA, Taiwan and Switzerland. The artist relates the story of humanity via depictions of everyday moments. These embrace people reading the newspaper on public transport, bathing, sitting chatting, or simply shopping at the market. In the words of the artist, "My aim is to enable every single person who views my work to identify with it through the medium of his or her own experiences." She draws attention to the fact that a painting can awaken diverse sensations in different individuals depending on what they themselves are experiencing in that specific moment. Using a combination of techniques and textures, she enables her vibrant colour palette to bring life and soul to all of the situations and people she portrays. Bold strokes express body language and facial expressions in a way that cannot fail to make the onlooker access his of her own associated feelings. Those emotions may be triggered by familiarity, yet can have incredible depth, impact and individuality. In her own words, Kika explains this dialogue between the art ...

Answers which will only in the future find themselves in the box storing the primordial findings on purpose. My paintings of horses are mysterious and they entice you into starting the dance of fire and ice. They are in an eternal impulse which is closer to coming back than leaving. They will never lie to the observer, or try to take him/her where they have already been and where he/she used to meet them. The horses will always take them to the unfamiliar places full of hope and endless existence. They are perpetual and always self-sufficient. My art and my search for the essence we call life is actually a burden on the back of...

Richard Harpum - I find painting to be one of my most satisfying pastimes. Although I drew and painted as a youngster, a career in the British Army followed by many years as a senior executive in business, meant that I did not start pursuing my passion again until I was in my 50s. I am so glad that I did. Although I love the Impressionists, the engineer in me means that I have a great deal of difficulty being "loose" in my own work. Having tried and failed, I decided to take the route of being a realist artist, and recently coined "High Definition Art" as my slogan. However, I am not interested in achieving photorealism. I want people to see that my pictures are paintings, and would hate the thought that someone had to take a close look to discover that one of my paintings was not a photograph. My time-consuming technique pretty much prohibits painting en plein air, so I use photographs for reference in my studio. Consequently, I take a camera everywhere, although this drives my wife nuts! However, I deliberately avoid painting a direct copy of any of my photos. Indeed, with each new painting, I seem ...
