Artists Describing Their Art:

Ariadna De Raadt - ItaEURtms always difficult to write about myself. I believe that I do not need many words to describe what I do. On my main page you can see hyperlinks that lead to my photos, paintings, vector illustrations, and a few articles. You can think that it is too many directions for one artist, but in reality everything what I do has a connection to architecture and design of interiors. IaEURtmd like to tell you that St. Petersburg (Leningrad) is my place of birth and it is always in my heart. Now, I live and feel like at home in The Hague (the Netherlands) and it is the most wonderful city in the world. As an artist I specialize in decorative painting. It's a new direction in my creativity, and it gives me a great inspiration since I can utilize new art materials and modern techniques. My last passion is photography. My photos are publishing in different American and European magazines....

Niina Niskanen - Often my art is a reflection of my state of mind. I like to fill the surface with delicate patterns and textures. The colors to be rich and deep but there also needs to be emotion, movement, something that catches the eye. Things that speak to my are probably different that the things that speak to the viewer because we are all too different and I donA't want to reveal too much. Art is all about experience and for me as an artist, it is also about personal growth, the journey. ...

Rick Borgia - I am a performance artist who works in traditional media from time to time. My first and foremost characteristic is that I do not have a specific style of work that results from my being an artist. I am more artist when considering just what I may pursue in terms of shape, color, size, technique, meaning, perceived value, current trends, unique attractions and on and on. In other words, I am simply experiencing the doing of art. It is in the doing that I am most composed, most human, most being. During the doing of the artwork is when I actually am performing art. So, I am a performance artist who works in traditional media from time to time....

Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my art and acts as a vital element in my etchings. The images I employ originate from my own photographs, as well as from the images I find from my research into the digital archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, and museums. Upon locating a documented scene I wish to etch, my first step involves the execution of two to five original drawings of the photograph. My collaboration between photography and printmaking allows me the independence to integrate my personal interpretations into the scene. Moreover, I create bridges between the physical and metaphysical visual realities in the same way that a camera intersects with human creativity . . . the nexus between the mechanical and the cerebral art tools. Art unveils everything that we mask behind our belief systems conversely, I strive in my creations to clarify those phenomena we overlook as a result of our egocentric assumptions. Ironically enough, I blame this failure to notice things, a process I label, the phenomenology of connectedness, on todayaEURtms very infatuation with and addiction to the new communicational technologies of social media. My artworks therefore become like windows through which to examine the mysteries of aEURoeeveryday consciousnessaEUR. In fact, my use of ...

Valda Fitzpatrick - I always wanted to learn how to paint, so I started by taking private art lessons. Shortly after, my first piece sold. After selling more pieces, my husband said, if you can sell these art pieces, why not go to the Ohio State University and study art. He figured if I can sell my first pieces, just think, how more effectively my future art could be. I decided to take his advise and signed up at the Ohio State University in Marion Ohio. This was the beginning of an exciting venture for me. In the meantime I was offered by the department to exhibit my work, to teach Adult Education Classes, to students of varying skill-levels in painting and drawing. 1976-1980.
