Artists Describing Their Art:

Johnny G - Born and raised in San Francisco, California, in the heart of the Haight-Ashbury, Johnny Garcia was influenced by his community and cultural revolution that was taking place. Free love and true expression. These teachings created the perfect foundation for living and exploring his artistic abilities open-heartedly. Johnny had always been interested in the arts as an onlooker, but it wasn't until the year 2000 that he became active in the arts by working as both a freelance photographer and as an assistant to an internationally-recognized artist who, at one point, suggested that Johnny try painting. By picking up the paintbrush and putting it to paper he reconnected to what he had experienced as an artistic child - a deep passion and joy in putting paint to papercanvas. Painting thus became a hobby for Johnny which has since grown into a fulfilling career. Combining Healer with Painter In 2007 - Johnny's gifts of being a medium, channel and healer opened up and he consciously began co-creating with the highest vibrations of Source Energies, interpreting his experience through different modalities such as painting, music, voice and writing. Each piece of artwork carries Universal Light force and complete unconditional ...

Stephen Fessler - Artist's Statement: Visionism All my images are born accidentally. I tack my studio dropcloths onto the wall once they've become sufficiently splattered with paint, and search the surface for suggestions. I'll discover an image within a tangle of marks, and paint to free it, an archaeologist unearthing an artifact. This process leads to related discoveries, and the more I find, the better I understand the space they inhabit, and a painting is underway. In this way does the painting gradually reveal its content and mood. Everything I like of the art I've seen, Eastern and Western, ancient and modern, sacred and profane, ends up in my work. It must be that, as I gaze at my randomly stained surfaces, these remembered images give clues as to what to look for. The larger canvases are free-hanging, fitted with grommets and intended to be tacked directly to the wall like a tapestry or banner. Smaller works on canvas are mounted and stretched so as to preserve their irregular edges. Stephen Fessler Artists' Statement: Directed Perception My mode of seeing changes when something has caught my attention. My "directed perception" chooses what I will see while obscuring everything...

Daniela Isache - Expressionism is my way to show the world as I see it. Since I was young, I looked at the world differently from my friends. I saw a strange world, wondering why the other people did not see it like me. The world I saw was unjust and made of unhappiness. Looking profoundly at the people's faces, I found them very expressive and I was stroked by their strange traits. I have never seen beautiful or ugly faces but only very expressive ones. Then, I began to paint these faces and I met my future love - Expressionism. At that time, I discovered and understood that the expressionist painting could express the life as I see it. I applied my Expressionism without making any concession to the beautiful or decorative painting. I applied it with force and sometimes with despair. However, when finishing a painting I felt released. I felt as if all my pain and troubles came out of my life. The dramatic motifs I found in everyday life created insurmountable interrogations and tensions. I became calm, but when I looked at my painting, I saw there fear, sorrow and I understood that my Expressionism saved me. Some people ...

Sylvain Chamberlain - The Provocative Image Painting has the power to transform. The subject of my work is memory. The content of my work is the transformative provocations of manipulating that memory. Language provides an illusion of communication. Investigation into motifs that challenge, shout or recede and are all but mute are my constant attempt at communication, but forever uncertain and ever surprised, this language, this mission, this struggle, remains... "My art and my Buddhist practice are the reason my heart continues to beat. If either my artworks or my life can spark life's interminable fire in others, in any small way, I am deeply grateful and inspired." ...

Vanessa Bernal - Artist's statement: My earliest childhood memories are those of painting with my grandfather and frequently visiting the Art Institute of Chicago where we would spend countless hours together. He taught me that everything we come in contact with has the potential of becoming a work of art. My grandfather and I would take walks together to hunt for "treasures" of discarded objects that later he would turn into beautiful collages and assemblages. It is those lessons I carry with me and -today- in my work I see his influence. I have never been comfortable with expressing myself verbally. I am not one to strike up a conversation with a stranger, nor do I feel comfortable speaking to a group of people. Visual expression comes naturally to me; it is through this means I can best communicate with others and feel the most comfortable. At a young age I became aware of the injustices being perpetrated in the world and was deeply disenchanted with the political process as a means of creating effective change in our global community. For me, becoming an artist was inevitable. Through the visual arts not only did I communicate my life's passions, my fears, ...

Saeed Hojjati - ARTIST STATEMENT My paintings all seem to reflect some type of paradise. I have been able to live in my paradise for the last five years, painting full time as a direct result from the inspiration of my wife Sandra who saw in me a passion and gift of raw talent waiting to be unleashed. My hope is that everyone would be able to live in their paradise and be able to live their life with passion and purpose. This is my paradise. It seems fitting that the etymology of the word paradise is rooted from the Old Iranian language as I immigrated to Canada in 1988 from Iran and became a Canadian citizen. Paradise - a Persian word (pardes), properly meaning a "pleasure-ground" or "park" or "king's garden." Today in our English language it has come to mean a place of complete peace, delight and bliss. My paintings have developed from a deep understanding of where I began in Iran to the freedom I experience today. My love for life, for the beauty of God's creation leads me to paint with vivid color, depth and spiritual passion. My paintings reflect the great beauty and diversity of our ...

Margaret Stone - Here we are, physically cemented to the earth by gravity. But - our imaginations stretch and soar, taking us beyond our planet and connecting us with far places in the universe. Being part of this, do we indeed live and bloom in a cosmic garden? Ah, perhaps so. I am exploring this connection in my new artwork....
