All in Contemporary Art
Life is a gift, and every human being should appreciate life, other human beings, nature and all the creatures that live on earth. Only by this can we ensure the survival of humans here on earth, as life on earth can easily go on even without human intervention. Humans must be careful not to be arrogant and believe that they can control everything here on earth.

If a work shows several actors, their relationship to one another, the state of their connection, is my painterly goal. For still lifes in my art, I often use the means of humor and freedom and thus challenge the viewer. Action and reaction carry me and my art, bring me into the flow of colors and being with myself and my figures.
A classically trained RN, I have been creating since the tender age of 7. In college, my art professors begged me to become a full time artist.

My muse of the ballerina.

Painter of oils on canvas, inspired by the romantic masters of the 19th century. I like the surrealist style, in the footsteps of Dali, whom I particularly appreciate. After seven years of study at the Beaux Arts of Dunkirk (Flemish School in France), I was a private student for two years, of Xavier Degans (student and collaborator of Salvador Dali). I have been working since then on the creation of medium-format oils on canvas.

Drawing and painting have always been my way of expressing myself. Nature is the primary source of inspiration. Painting for me creates a meditative state of being, where I connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into my artwork. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within myself, and inspires me to create art.
Mishel has always had a gift for uniting colour and design, and has shown an almost zen-like understanding of nature, which manifests both in her early career as a designer, as well as in the work she creates today. Unique and subtle in style, there is great depth in the complex yet organic forms that emerge on the canvas in her chosen medium of Alcohol ink.
Photography speaks to us at a deeply human level about those things that are most important to us and touches our emotions. Love and connection are enduring themes that run through my work. This is because I see them as the primary motivators in our lives. They are our constant everyday link with eternity. My view is that fine-art photography exists to capture the eternal in the everyday. Those moments that transcend time and place and link us to the universe.
In the last three decades, I have been creating wall-mounted, cast resin and aluminum sculptures combined with canvas and gold leaf, and exploring the computer as an art tool for creating digital artwork. All my life, I have loved to create art full of emotions and feelings, "soul," with the satisfaction of fun. I am interested in the balance and composition of colours and objects rather than the reality of the items.
What always attracted Karel in painting and Plastic arts is the way art “makes visible” things and ideas that are “not visible” as such in the simple visible world but which “appear” by some sort of magic in the minds of the viewer. It took him over twenty years to sort out the difference between “symbols” (a “convention” accepted among a group or a code system designed to communicate a secret meaning), and “metaphor” which, by assembling things unusual, by irony and paradox, allows the individual mind to “discover” the meaning the painter intended to transmit.

In Tedo’s art, the theatrical and the everyday intertwine. Calm, colorful, and cozy environments suddenly give way to the commotion of characters, histories, and deeply personal narratives. With a single touch, ordinary figures become dramatic players, embodying philosophical and social symbols that reflect the complexity of existence. His works juxtapose vibrant color palettes with cosmic black, creating visual tension between harmony and chaos, humor and reflection.

The two most powerful mediums for me have been Raku Sculptural Ceramics and my new technique called “Fluid Dimensions”. Both methods are controlled and spontaneous at the same time. Both are a fine balance of technique and serendipity. It is in the letting go that the work becomes what it is meant to be.
