Artists Describing Their Art:

Lou Armentrout - LIFE WAS SIMPLER THERE, in the little Ohio village of Hanover in Licking County, where Lou Armentrout was raised. Swimming in the river, roaming the green hills of Ohio, Lou fell in love with nature; from the beginning its beauty was his passion. Capturing it in art has been his life long quest. Getting a B.F.A. in art education from Ohio U. in 1971 and a M.F.A. from Ohio State U. in art education in 1977 taught him a great deal, but not about painting nature. As a teacher for thirty-five years, he nurtured his students' love of beauty. In addition he taught himself by collecting. Amassing hundreds of paintings (mostly historic Ohio Impressionists), he found in their content, some of the unspoiled beauty of his youth. From their style, he has formed his own: one filled with light and color. When he moved to California, he fell in love all over again but more. His love expanded when he became a docent at the Palm Springs Art Museum. California is GOLDEN in so many different ways! His happy heart is flourishing in the brightness; his paintings are becoming even richer in color, radiant with ...

Richard Wynne - Richard is an acclaimed International Artist recently returned to the USA. Richard has lived in many Countries. "The last being Thailland.

Mr Wynne has exhibited in Thailand, the United States, Spain, Argentina, Kuwait, Korea, Ihdia, and other Countries. Sometimes perhaps I say too much about my self but maybe it helps people understand what motivates my work. For your information I've lived in 8 different countries and have been around the world 5 times. I speak a few different languages, some very well; others not so well. By the way I am not a workaholic as I don't consider what I do work. I enjoy life too much. I forgot to say I am also a weight lifter as lifting weights is my Zen. When I am troubled the concentration it takes to lift makes me calm. I guess my page will probably be a little different from what people expect. Sorry I have not been uploading new work as ...

Nicole M. Mathieu - Difficult to talk about art as one should, first of all, feel it. What is more fantastic that listening to a piece of music, reading a novel or seeing an artwork which will transport you deeply inside. For me, Art is not a duplication of what one sees, it should transcend it. My portraits were done in this sense trying to transpose the invisible part of the model. In my recent oil paintings, I try to give sounds with colors which reflects life itself and will remind you of things that seem familiar. Last December 2011, I moved to a beautiful art studio in Paris (near Place d'Italie) and you are welcome to visit my atelier while on vacation. Please call me before at 00 33 (0)663528344 ...

Steve Miller - I have drawn and painted ever since I can remember. Pencil was always my favorite. I spent many hours as a child with a pencil and a piece of typing paper. In my late teens, I began to airbrush images on vans, motorcycle tanks, and T-Shirts. Later, I began creating illustrations for publications, and then on to creating graphics and animation on the computer for various companies/clients. Making a living seems to consume most of my time, but when things get slow or I find I have some extra time on my hands, the canvas seems to have an irresistible pull. One day a friend of mine, mentioned that he was going out and painting small plein air paintings. I told him I'd like to go along sometime. We set a time in the late spring a few years back and I borrowed an easel and we hit the Texas countryside. We painted 3 small paintings throughout the day and I loved it. It was such a relief to get away from the computer screen and play with color. Now I take my easel with me when ever I travel and paint every chance I get. Since ...

Amy Wetterlin - I strive to exalt the human spirit through capturing composition, structures (organic and non)and repeating patterns. The patterns and forms create an abstract while maintaining balance and movement of life force. Life either moves or is stagnant...it's up to you. Thanks for looking! Cheers Amy...

Tari Eszter - In my art the rules that I set up for myself play an important role, the reason for this being that within the framework of these rules I can make use of the opportunity of boundless freedom by means of my acquired knowledge and the reception of new inspirations. Since 2007 I have been working on a series whose members are unfolding from one another, the point of departure being four basic elements inspired by the Javanese batik. With the help of these shapes I create colorful and intricate networks which are without any mechanic fixation and are greatly variegated due to the utilization of the infiltrating accident. The networks are placed above one another as intertwining planes. These structural systems can stand on their own ("Faktor" series), but they can establish illusionary spaces as well ("Intro" series) or even contradictory spaces ("Simbion" series). At the same time in this painterly world figural elements may appear too ("Factor-Organic" series). In my painting I mingle my occidental cultural foundation with inspirations of the oriental culture in a peculiar way. In my opinion it is indispensable for an artist to be open to the world, to widen knowledge continuously. To achieve ...

S. Josephine Weaver - WHY AN ARTIST? WHY A PAINTER? "Some gifts are not given: you are delivered to them, bound by chains of nerves and genes stronger than iron or steel, although unseen." "You never know the force that drives you wild to paint that sky, and that bird flying, and is never satisfied but maybe tomorrow..." From: To A Daughter with Artistic Talent - J. Peter Meinke ...

Elio Pastore - Elio Stefano PASTORE was born in Turin (Italy), where he lives and works. He has got a degree in Law, and works in the communication field for a big public company acquiring a twenty-year experience in that sector. He started using PC in 1998 for creative necessities relating to his job, discovering little by little its fascinating power and making it a trustful and indispensable tool. Fond of photography, travels and mountains, he has often put together these interests, getting numerous awards in photography contests and publishing his picture stories on different magazines. His artistic life - started in 1992 - has found in the digital art his ideal medium of expression; infact the digital art allows him to draw inspiration from the objectivity but to filter it through his personal life, so transforming it in an ideal and essential reality, spread through an emotionally intimate atmosphere. From this synergy between a personal sensibility and a technical mastery, were born pictorial imagines devoid of modern references and contaminations, creating a world with no time suspended between magic realism and poetry. Starting from the year 2000, from the original production, he has led in a parallel way, a personal research on forms ...

Valerie Hoffmann - ARTIST'S STATEMENT: "Having a traditional art background and trained in the exacting disciplines of architectural design, I strive to explore new freedoms in interpreting form in terms of the organic shapes and elements found in nature. I prefer to use paint in a manner which best reflects the tapestry of the many textures exhibited in the earth's landscape. I apply color as a means to unite these features and to show relationships between the vividness and subtleties expressed in every part of our environment, and yet attain visual harmony." ...

Anindya Roy - Here you can see a brief about my painting , my bio- data, and some recent paintings.A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO MY RECENT PAINTINGS During the period of training my works were mostly the reflectionof the city life, the aspiration and dreams of the urban middle class living in a molt-cultural and multi-lingual society. Those days I crated the works like ' back to the city', 'nagorik' etc., by mixed media. To develop the concept I have been traveling historical, and culturally significant places and try to conceptualize the togetherness of living and non-living objects and a sense of mystery. Things and particular colour encompassed me, thus my creative mind and feelings is blend. Through I have social, ritual relation with my surroundings, I would like to search there hidden relations of mine in my works. It is known there a relation among the living and non- living beings in nature. I saw a rhythm with the costume, ornaments, happiness, sorrow and habits of the rural people, I is wonderful to me when I inhale those things then, I express my feelings of love through my visual art work. Some times ' composition ' starts from my dream, which leads to ...
