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...

Helena Wierzbicki - I have always enjoyed art from an early age. This love of Art has stayed with me and developed and grown, and now, I cannot imagine wanting to do anything else. Making art, for me, is an innate response to the inner and outer worlds, and a balancing act between the intuitive and the considered. I am interested in exploring my natural abilities and enthusiasm for my commitment to do an art within my innermost thoughts and emotions. Shades of colors and lines turning images of beings into landscapes and symbols. My art is an evolving process, I take and represent only elements which are the essence of the imaginary being. I rely on my desires for beauty, poetics and seduction. "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887) ...

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. ...
