Artists Describing Their Art:

Bert Menco - Though they may seem simple, especially my drawings and intaglio prints but also my paintings are actually quite elaborate; half a year's work on an image is no exception for me. I draw directly or use small sketches, even doodles, as image-generating nuclei, often combining two or three that appear to complement each other. I rarely use concrete references, but rather work from inner visions. I tend to be narrative in my own art, perhaps poetic narrative. I don't see my images as telling a story but rather as reflections of inner feelings, similar to some poetry, and would like observers to read them as such. I like to believe that my work carries a certain mystery. My images are very much "inside out.aEUR? I have usually some idea of what I want to obtain, but much of the image is generated while I draw or paint. The end product always surprises me; I am often amazed that there even is an end product. Analyzing my own art is difficult but I think that the dreamlike images tend to deal with confined spaces which contain certain characters that reach out to one another but do not quite ...

Bert Menco - Jeffrey Dickinson - My work revolves around the figure. Most is drawn directly from a model in a studio setting. Although that sounds simple anyone who has attempted it knows it takes years of practice and effort to produce something worthwhile. I am constantly working towards improving my drawing skills. A few years ago I began doing quick watercolors over my pencil drawings. I like the spontaneity and immediacy achieved in this way. I also paint in oils and acrylics. These paintings are much more planned out and carefully executed. Although the subject matter is often surreal or narrative they still have as there basis a realistically drawn figure. ...

Christa Skoff Oglan - The muse, the madonna and the goddess captured in an endless dream is a recurrent theme of the figurative paintings. I strive to provide a feeling of mystery and opulence that act as points of departure into personal inward journeys for the viewer. ...

Javier Cañete - My name is Javier Canete. I'm from Argentina. My art is developed through the batik, acrylic painting and photography. In that I develop my restlessness and convictions, always treating that the beauty prevails. At the moment I expose my works in Buenos Aires but my art is in many places of the world. That is something that honors me and full with happiness....

Sigmund Sieminski - Stating of the obvious....."art" is always a matter of perception.or as the infamous Popeye the Sailorman was quoted... "I ain't no physicist, but I know what matter's". ART reminds me of lifes' most essential ingredient..that being water. It is fluid, can freeze moments in time, and can transport you. And in its gaseous state is as etherial as the concept of art itself. ...

Cris Orfescu - NANOART I create Art from Science using Technology. My art is a reflection of the technological movement. I consider NanoArt to be a more appealing and effective way to communicate with the general public and to inform people about the new technologies of the 21st Century raising the public awareness of Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives. Nanotechnology deals with the synthesis, manipulation and characterization of matter at the sub-100 nanometers level. Nanotechnology is still an emerging area although commercial products are already on the market. I bring the small world in front of my audience by visualizing with a scanning electron microscope the nanolandscapes and the nanosculptures I create by physical and chemical processes. I paint and manipulate digitally the monochromatic electron images and print them on canvas or fine art paper with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time (giclee prints). This way, the scientific images become artworks and could be showcased for a large audience to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable. ...

Bukhina Maya - "The beauty of surrounding world has always inspired to creativity. I see and feel not only greatness of nature, but something that overflow me, causing the strongest and sincerest feelings that force me to create, to paint. My paintings are a mirror of my soul. They reflect need to transfer to canvas my thoughts, fantasies, mood and attitude to everything that surround me. I try as much as possible to transfer into paintings these artistic impulses and enthusiastic status, not to miss these moments, as next time something will change and something new will appear". ...

Jolie Bonnette - A statement... well.... I don't do this for you or anyone. I do this for me. I create because, if I don't, I will shrivel up and die. This is what I live and breathe for. Do I care if you like what I make? No. I don't. If you like it, that's fine. If you don't, that's equally fine. People do buy these strange things I make. That makes me happy, but it's not the core reason for doing it. I'm not looking to be famous. I'm too much of a loner geek for that. I just want to make art and put it out there where people who like it can buy it. ...

Minh Hang - Through life struggle I was able to understand the profound meaning of my surrounding. Each experienced take me to a different level of awareness and a vision with wiser perspective. Art was a mean for me to coped with all the hardship and struggle in my life, each time i pickup a paint brush i went in to a trend that take me deep down to the cord of my spirituality until i feel my hand was guided by a super being, at this stage i found my sense of security. The process of creating is like a journey to discover a new self and a new world. I like to provoked the deep sense of my emotion where i can create mood that give me the excitement and energy in the process. to me, I found that black and white visually give me a pure sense of reality and raw emotion like a documentary told the story the way it is. with just a simple medium such as black charcoal, ink and acrylic to convey an idea on to a canvas through light and shadow, form and composition to form a visually excitement finish piece of art work. ...

Inge Van Der Meulen - Somehow mankind needs the expression of art; art may provide hope to the ones who need it, it can embrace and support the heart of the ones that don't feel understood any other way, art can bring us passed the limit of words... Kunst kan een gevangen ziel bevrijden, het kan de limiet van woorden overschrijden... Your comments, statements etc. will always be interesting te me, and I hope that my expessions at least will bring you the joy of watching......

Dan Cope - I have painted all my life and never took lessons.It just comes out and onto the canvas.Initially,I paint for my own satisfaction.People see what I made and like it,sometimes buy it,so I want to do more and let others enjoy it.To me,a good painting is something pleasing to the eye and can be viewed indefinitely,always looking fresh and new.i love the way colors and shapes work together to produce an exciting image.It doesn't matter what the image is about.What matters is the good feeling it gives the viewer when it is looked at.Use your imagination to explore and interpret as you choose.That is the beauty of abstract art,you can experience it as you wish.I like to write haikus for each piece and put them in the description box....
