Ink Drawings

Artists Describing Their Art:

Roberto Trigas - Art has been practiced by humans since thousands of years ago; we have remaining samples of paintings in caves and walls, stone carvings and many objects. The main characteristic of Art as opposed to the manufacture of everyday objects is that, were those have a definite USEFUL purpose, Art doesn`t seem to. I`ll explain.Making a tool to obtain food is an obvious useful activity. Spending a great deal of time and effort in "decorating" that tool doesn`t seem to have an obvious purpose. And yet, humans have been doing so for thousands of years.Why? Probably we shall never know. But there is something inherent in human beings that make us do so.There is magic in creating, in transforming a piece of clay into a "thing" that resembles something else, in spreading paint over a stone wall and making images appear,images that other members of the tribe recognise and relate to. That is why I paint. Because painting appeals to the magic unknown of human nature. In European Art, mainly since the Renaissance (XV c. onwards), Artists strived to attain a representation of the visual reality as close to an optical view as possible; ...

Ismo Jokiaho - My works and pictures are usually made in ink and oil colors. These are the two main styles and medias I am using. My works are reflections to my internal and the external life. In my work I will try to put my life-experiences visible as a whole. My surroundings and the presence of people in my life are very important to me, challenging and lively, but they do not appear as recognizable personalities in my works. In my art realism intertwined with fantasy, while maintaining a full-time touch with reality. My works is becoming increasingly human condition of humanity and the possibilities of a purely increasingly complex world, targeting with lifes passion, flair, and awareness of the common life forces. As an artist I transfer the understanding and feel of the unspoken onto a paper or canvas and dissolve the divide between the practice of different cultural forms and the practice of painting. ...

Kathleen Flowers - As a multidisciplinary artist, Flowers' work is currently based on the idea of Design in Nature. Through the art of abstract, her content and inspiration often comes from the beauty found in nature that surrounds her on a day to day basis. The work focus on many themes that are symbolic and personal to her. The paintings are abstract,figurative and non-objective. Her paintings and drawing are filled with serene colors, painted with acrylic and other mediums giving them an aesthetic visual affect while appealing to the senses and are created to evoke a visceral effect from within. ...

Oleg Khe - My path to art was not direct and planned. I got a journalism education and had a great career as an editor and publisher. It was only in adulthood that I realized that my real passion was art. I took a risk and now Im doing everything to realize my destiny. Every morning I wake up with the promise that today I will work to the limit of my abilities and capabilities. And every single day thats exactly what I do. In my art I try to understand the nature of women, to tell their stories. Each drawing is an episode in which I experience the feelings of the heroine, I go through her difficult path. Thats how my empathy manifests itself. More and more often I draw on secondary raw materials - old issues of newspapers and used office paper. I use what we usually throw in the trash. I want to say that old things can become a work of art. To some extent, I am the same old paper that dreams of its rebirth. ...
