Artists Describing Their Art:

Vladimir Volosov - I was born in 1937 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia). My way to art was a lengthy one. Before becoming an artist, I studied for thirty years at the forefront of modern physics as a PhD scientist and professor, author more than 150 scientific articles in contemporary laser physics. Thirty years of strenuous scientific work on the front edge of modern physics gives me a deep feeling for the anxiety and unprotectedness of the world's beauty. The formula, "beauty saves the world" fits my own attitude. My creed is also embodied in the statement: "to have time to realize everything given to you by Nature." At the threshold of my fifties, I decided to live one more life, a new, alluring life of the free artist. I walked away from my established scientific career and completely devoted myself to painting. In 1991 I founded and headed the association "Light, Color and Art" to connect with scientists engaged in the arts. The main directions of my paintings are lyrical realism and abstract compositions. My paintings are about light, color, atmosphere and space. For me, the most important elements are light and color and their juxtaposition/nexus/meeting of...

Zaharia Elena - Elena Zaharia, creates pop art paintings, mixed media artworks and new medias designs . By using popular themes such as sexuality and everyday life, Elena wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. In her new medias , multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. Her mixed media artworks are based on inspiring situations Her use of colors are visions that reflect a sensation of indisputability and serene contemplation, combined with subtle details of eccentric or odd elements. By emphasising aesthetics, she seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human condition in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. Her works often refers to pop and mass culture. Using symbols she creates situations and breaks the passivity of the spectator, she touches various overlapping themes and strategies.Her works sometimes radiate descriptive intensities of emerging beauty. The inherent visual seductiveness, along with the conciseness of the exhibitions, further complicates the reception of their manifold layers of meaning....

Denise Dalzell - Every image sparks a story. Each of us has a story to tell. What do we have in common What unites us, what binds us together Part abstract, part figurative, part illustration, my current work is about understanding the body language, relationships and stories that develop amongst people in social settings. My paintings develop from images that I collect during my travels. How do we, as people of differing backgrounds, cultures, and experiences interact with each other within the immediacy of a crowd How do we respond to one another How do we share the common experience of being in a mass of people who have come together to protest, to celebrate, to commemorate I work in Acrylic and Colored Pencil to fashion illustrations of these evolving stories. The excitement of being in a crowd united, of being in a smaller, more intimate group intrigues me. Are we different in these different settings If we are, why All of these settings, and the people involved in these relationships tell stories of our adventures. And my adventure is developing into so much more to be what I imagined it would be. ...

Jim Lively - Whether portrayed in the abstract, realism, or somewhere in between, I am most influenced by both the beautiful and unattractive components of contemporary urban culture. Many times, one painting will reflect both components. My art tends to focus upon interesting juxtapositions of close-up images of human faces. Often, the larger images border upon realism and are caught expressing a panoply of emotions usually directed at the other images that share the canvas. Several of my recent works such as the tongue in cheek entitled "Lenin and Things" contain unlikely combinations of images such as a statue of Lenin which is dwarfed by a billboard size fashion model displaying a vacuous stare. A number of works contain both large images and interrelated small images. For example in the painting "Staring at Natalie", all the smaller images are a depiction of a collective group of voyeurs staring at a larger image of a posed fashion model. I want those viewing the painting to be the ultimate voyeur. The viewer is not only drawn initially to the larger image in its own right but also cannot help but then notice the relationship of the smaller images to the large image. Works displayed ...

Dan Shiloh - I was born in Jerusalem Israel. I attended an officers nautical school and served in the navy as an engineer on a destroyer. After the navy I moved to Chicago USA and studied architecture at U of I Chicago campus and graduated in 1972 . I moved back to Israel and opened an architectural office in a small settlement in the Galilee region which became very successful. I retired about 10 years ago and opened as a hobby a black smith studio where I made metal sculptures. In 2009 I moved to Tel Aviv and started painting and sculpting in clay which I do up to these days. I was always interested in arts and I enjoy my painting and sculpting very much. Every year I travel to Florence Italy for at least a month where I paint and sculpt in the Accademia de Arte. I think its about time to share my work with the public and I hope it will enrich the homes of who ever likes my works....
