All in Painting
“I express my subjective feelings and attitudes toward life on canvas, while sensing the inspection of my works from lives outside of the canvas. I create on the basis of species, life and space, elements of the focus of the society. It is creativity on the level of imagination to reconstruct the spiritual world. Through my works, I explore the complex feelings and desires behind life, which are infusing my works with deeper dimensions and touches.”
Patrizia Casagranda presents her impressive ‘sculptural dot paintings’ - an innovative technique that combines classical portraiture with contemporary imagery. Through her characteristic three-dimensional dot pattern, the artist transforms strong portraits of women from art history into powerful statements of the present.
Known for my imaginative and distinctive use of colour and light, I have progressed from painting wildlife on paper to larger more diverse images of nature in oil on canvas to fantastical depictions of water. I have perfected a method incorporating hand painting with multiple paint pouring. My mixed media technique embraces collage as a means to create texture. The water theme is further enhanced by a resin finish that produces an incredibly lustrous effect.
Simon Zeng is recognized for expressing his rich imagination and love for nature in his artworks, comprising of brush, ink, and color on paper, and the media of oil on canvas. His works describe the beauty of human beings and truth developed through traditional and modern styles.
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. I was supposed to go to med school, however ended up cramming 4 years of nursing school in one year. With that said, I eventually found my way back to my creating love, painting. My muse of the ballerina.
I am a visionary multidisciplinary artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, inviting audiences into a vibrant world of imagination and creativity. With a passion for exploring various mediums, I have seamlessly weaved together painting, sculpture, and digital art, creating immersive experiences that resonate deeply with viewers.
As a self-taught artist, my creative process is so rooted in my personal experiences and the themes I’ve been drawn to throughout my life, particularly the strength and resilience of women. I often draw the themes from the diverse cultures I've lived in.
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.
Mexican American artist Ivonne Torres is a dynamic Abstract Expressionist painter whose vibrant use of color and texture creates compelling and harmonious compositions. Her artwork serves as an emotional outlet, allowing her feelings to flow freely onto the canvas. Each piece is a testament to her passion for life, resulting in energetic works that resonate with viewers on a profound level.
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.
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.
Katinka Lampe paints portraits. Or at least, you can clearly recognise the representation of a person. Yet, this is not the main motive of the painting. The portrait merely serves as reason to make the painting. The portrait is the imagery concept. Her paintings greatly appeal to the beholders.
My artistic process is deeply connected with my emotional state, and the balance between free-flowing lyrical painting and structured geometric abstracts reflects this relationship.
Each approach serves its purpose in helping me process and express my emotions. Sometimes the process begins with a burst of unrestrained creativity, followed by moments of refinement and control. Other times, I need the stability of planning and structure.
Sherry is from the Midwest and began painting full time after retiring to Florida. She currently resides in SW Florida and enjoys painting contemporary abstract. Being mostly self taught she passionately paints in a unique way using lots of color and expressive movements!
Her abstract style draws attention to color first then pulls the viewer’s eyes deeper into the art with intuitive movements of paint. Many pieces of her work with heavy texture, colorful paints, sharp lines and marks reveals her Native American ancestry
