Artists Describing Their Art:

Irena Tatiboit - My way of painting comes from my experience of movement in dancing; more particularly from a technique I have developed step by step in order to create new movements (gestures) when improvising in dancing. I define this conduct as a reconstruction of a deconstructed movement. Deconstruction is based on the principle of isolation. This principle which can be equally applied to motion, space, plane depth or to the idea of emptiness or of fullness enables to define different elements which I combine together in infinite variations. However this process is always the result of an intentional choice. In order for it to take its full meaning, the mental demands to which it obeys must be submitted to chance. Creation requires some constraints, and in my painting water plays this part. Water permits the conflicting elements of reconstruction to reveal themselves, and to display the premises of representation. Paintings are presented on a piece of wood of variable thickness. They may be square or rectangular, one or two-sided with sliding or mobile elements. The paintings may be hung, laid or handled. Diptychs or triptychs are my favourite shapes. Most of the time I use acrylic paint and cover the edge ...

Zsuzsa Naszodi - The art of painting for me is a straightforward process of visual representation of my feelings in response to a given subject. Be it a human face, landscape, a still-life or a fleeting gesture of a scene in a cafe, they all serve as triggers for emotional movement which I try to translate into the language of line, shape and color. My fascination with the world of Art, started early in my childhood but it was only when I felt free of my obligations as a mother and a successful business woman, that I could devote myself entirely to development of my second career as an artist- painter. After few years of an arduous process of picking up the essentials of the painting techniques as well as visual thinking and color experimentation, I feel myself ready to exhibit my work and thus closing the creative cycle which begins usually with the initial sketches and exploration of the subject in which I am interested in any given time. I believe in inspiration and part of my process is concerned with achieving that blissful stage in the creative work when the technique doesn't occupy any conscious thought and flows smoothly...

Juergen W.d. Stieler - Born 1955 in the town of the pied piper in Lower Saxony, Germany. I left my home town when I was 21 and live in Flensburg, the most northern German city, next to the Danish border. Drawing, painting and printmaking are the techniques I work in. Recently I experimented upon "collecting traces" and converted them in prints to achieve authentic references of everyday occurrences or remarkable events, e.g. the Buncefield oil depot desaster in England Nov 2005....

Yulia Korneva - When after the midnight the lights and shadows are mixed up in sleepless eyes it is time for me to create the instant pictures of the world between the dream, nightmare and reality. My name is Yulia A. Korneva and everything I create is my way to express what I saw and feel. Even the portraits for me are a way to see something more then a photo made with pencil or oil colours. I find very interesting the posthumous or revival portraits when sometimes I have to assemble the expression, colours and background from different photographs. I was born to Moscow (URSS) in 1981, my grandfather was a painter. I started drawing to surprise my classmates and soon I could not imagine my life without creating something. My first work was the illustration for book of poems "August" (Indipendent publisher; Moscow; Russia) written by Nadezda Korneva in 2000. My first personal exhibition took place in 2004 in Turin, Italy. Now I artist, mother and I also make another job for living, but I hope to have one day more time to dedicate to creation....

Dana Zivanovits - Dana Zivanovits was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio and received his art training from the Columbus College of Art and Design (1978 to 1982). After art school, he went abroad for a year and studied the art of the old masters in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Venice. Returning to his studio in Columbus to develop these influences into a new body of work, he then traveled to Mexico and studied the sculpture and painting of that country for an extended period. The unique and vivid colors of Palenque and Vera Cruz intensified his palette. After a period in Ohio, he then moved to Venice Beach, California where the brilliant light of the region reinforced his desire to capture effects of sunlight and atmosphere. Returning to Ohio in 1995, he has continued to paint themes deriving inspiration form sources such as world mythology, classic and B-grade cinema, literature and dreams. However his primary inspiration is direct observation from nature, versus an approach based in art theories or cultural critique. Dana has been widely represented by galleries and exhibition projects including Julie Rico and Mega Boom in Los Angeles, the Venice Art Detour, Around the Coyote Festival in Chicago ...

Richard Beckholt - My artwork is very unique.I have spent most of my life developing the language of my work and continue to process and refine the course I have chosen. I work very hard to bring all the drama in color and design that I can possibly muster while remaining true to my initial concepts.I will not allow myself to slip into the realm of decorative art for the sake of sales.My art is honest and straight from my heart. Those collecting my works sense the emotions expressed within the stark images....

Nicole Peña - In many of my paintings I depict entranced individuals who are seduced into a musical and psychic celebration. A song lives within the space of my canvas enrapturing participants to sway to its vibrations and experience its sensual essence. In one painting a frenzied conga compels hips to gyrate and eyes to close while in another a gentle psalm inspires as it soothes the soul. In these works, rhythm liberates the body and frees the spirit by compelling the participants to combine sensual movements with soulful meditations....

David Cuffari - I approach my work as a visual poem. Sometimes the meaning is simple and direct and other times it's more complex. I prefer to create work that is open-ended allowing the viewer their own interpretation of what I present. I am primarily a painter preferring to work in acrylics as it allows me to make rapid revisions which helps keep the work fresh and immediate. The over-arching theme of my artwork is the human condition. I see the fabric of life as woven in opposites. By employing dualities like order/chaos, rough/smooth textures, themes of life/death, controlled effects/happy accidents, rational/irrational imagery, I try to paint interesting pictures that allow the viewer to see the world a bit differently. I am also interested in the notion of time. I don't believe that time is linear but more like an echo. I try to avoid static imagery preferring to create a complex painting that unfolds as you look at it, with layers of imagery and meaning. I do this by preserving the process of editing and revision as I arrive at the final image. Most recently I've been proceeding without a pre-conceived ...

Richard Wynne - Richard is an acclaimed International Artist recently returned to the USA. Richard has lived in many Countries. "The last being Thailland. He started his art studies at a very young age at the John Herron Art Institute In Indianapolis, Indiana and then later at the Art Institute of Chicago Richard has lived in many countries, painting, and playing music. Mr Wynne has exhibited in Thailand, the United States, Spain, Argentina, Kuwait, Korea, Ihdia, and other Countries. Sometimes perhaps I say too much about my self but maybe it helps people understand what motivates my work. For your information I've lived in 8 different countries and have been around the world 5 times. I speak a few different languages, some very well; others not so well. By the way I am not a workaholic as I don't consider what I do work. I enjoy life too much. I forgot to say I am also a weight lifter as lifting weights is my Zen. When I am troubled the concentration it takes to lift makes me calm. I guess my page will probably be a little different from what people expect. Sorry I have not been uploading new work as ...

David Chang - Sharing My Artistic View By David K. Chang Art is an expression of the spirit that is not limited by time or space. Although artistic styles differ depending on the artist's background, rationales, interests, and feelings, the intent of all artwork is to guide audiences into a specific mood. Therefore, art arouses an echo between the audience and the artist. This echo can be one of excitement or agony, of humor or anger, of comfort or sadness, of oppression or complete release, or one of inexpressible description. Artists continue to explore their own finished work as well as to encourage audiences to gain a deeper understanding of that work. Excellent artwork often comes from self-examination. Even though an artist may believe he is developing and refining his style by intuition, this intuition is usually the artist's unrecognized expression of his reflection, which has embedded itself into his subconscious. My inspiration frequently comes from my reflection on and enjoyment of nature, from my loving it and studying it. The artwork that comes from this reflection can express the resolution of conflict between man and nature, or the connection between them. These ideas can be articulated in the freedom ...

Jerry Maloney - Contemporary artist Jerry Maloney, uses a realistic style that falls somewhere between Impressionism and Photo-realism which creates soothing yet vibrant images that are reminiscent of the Luminists school of painting.I have always been inspired by the beauty of light in nature. Painters such as Bierstadt, Church, and Inness have always been major influences in my art along with many of the Impressionists states the talented artist. These influences are readily apparent in the beautiful oil paintings of Florida Colorado and landscapes that fill the walls of his Spring Hill studio. Although landscapes and seascapes are the artists preferred subjects, he is equally proficient in portraiture, still life, caricature, graphic design digital or traditional and cartooning. Oil paint on canvas is the most common choice of medium for the artist closely followed by acrylic paint, pastel chalk, colored pencil and water color. Drawing and painting since childhood, this emerging artist received his formal training from the University of Michigans School of Art, Colorado Universitys Colorado Mountain College, St. Petersburg College, Florida State University where he received a Bachelors Degree in Studio Art and through numerous workshops conducted by many prominent artists. Since then he has continued to paint and ...

Maria Teresa Fernandes - Admiring Teresa's paintings we are touched by her pictorial sensitivity. Difficult task in light colors (volume and transparencies on a clear basis). Few do it due to the required dedication with pallete knife(no brush).It's painting consacrated by the love to paint. Radha Abramo(Renowned art critique)comments at Solo Exhibition Catalog at SESC Paulista in June 84 -( sent at request and reproduced in one of the pages of this site). ...

Lisa Reinke - Recognize yourself, someone, everyone and no one in my faces - celebrate color in the shape of a nose, the curve of the ears, the mask of the eyes, and the lines of the lips and hair. Most of all remember the humanity in humanity. The human face inspires me. As humans, we respond to its image beyond all others. For all its familiarity, we rarely pause to consider the face as a visual form, something more than the recognition of a friend or an interaction with a stranger. I paint the face in ways to cause the viewer to reconsider its splendor and renew faith in all things human. Colors and sunlight playing across faces remind me of our connection to the universe and symbolize eternal and fleeting moments simultaneously. I love how we recognize and explore human faces for clues to identity and personality. I am happy to be creating my work and hope that my art inspires you to look around and see the world as a vibrant and exciting place where the most amazing patterns are on display all the time. Lisa Reinke ...

Sue Jacobsen - My "artist's eye" seeks both the extraordinary and the ordinarily-overlooked moments in nature, and presents them in a way that allows the viewer to see what I've seen--and loved enough to want to share it. My regional landscapes, painted in oil, capture the rural flavor of the Wood River Valley in Idaho where I've lived and worked for over 30 years. Previously, California coastal areas were my genre. My love of the ocean and its awesome infinity is equaled in the grandeur and peace of the nearby mountains --again, infinite subjects for my paintings. Just as my professional training in graphic design at Art Center School in Los Angeles served me well when I turned my creative skills to easel painting, this then enabled me to move with ease and enthusiasm when sculpture'found me', and I learned to see with new eyes--in 3 dimensions now! My sculptures are figurative, of people or animals, and I seem to have special ability to capture the likeness and personality of my subjects. While I consider myself to be primarily self-taught, I continue to seek out other professional painters and sculptors whose work I admire, with...
