And just as it is said that a purple cloud appears in the distance after a person has taken the opportunity to depart, I too hope to be guided by an invisible hand to depart on a certain dimension. My daily creative work is part of that process.
All in Painting
And just as it is said that a purple cloud appears in the distance after a person has taken the opportunity to depart, I too hope to be guided by an invisible hand to depart on a certain dimension. My daily creative work is part of that process.
Place to the imaginary, on the border of figuration and abstraction so that reading is not immediate. Nothing must be given to see without a part of ambiguity and mystery. The speed of execution is part of this process: it is the love of the sketch and the unfinished. The ephemeral instant of a world in eternal change.
My passion for art has always revolved around beauty, not just in people and places, but also in shapes and colors. With my technical approach to painting, not being certain of the results yet still being driven to produce them is what makes the effort of creation so captivating.
My paintings refer to reality, but they are not meant to be exact. Rather, the paintings represent themselves. They express the mere love for life which I have experienced during my observations. I use color arrangement, positioning of lines and surface texture.
Larisa Sved’s paintings are deeply personal and employ a realist technique that occasionally moves towards abstraction. As a self-taught artist, she is inspired by the natural surroundings of Canada and the Cayman Islands with her detailed depictions of flora and of the local sceneries created to convey messages of peace, harmony and joy.
I am passionate about creating art that captures the essence of memories, perceptions and nature’s unseen rhythms. My process involves blending colors, shapes and textures to create pieces that blur the boundaries between imagination and reality. My paintings create a space where dreams and emotions intertwine, offering a glimpse into the unseen and intangible.
Photography, to me, is more than a profession; it's a lifelong journey of observation, connection, and expression. Through my work, I strive to share the profound beauty I find in the world and to inspire others to discover their unique perspectives.
Wendy creates paintings that integrate shapes, lines, and colors, juxtaposed with collage elements into cohesive compositions that transform static spaces into vibrant synchronized visual tapestries of contrasting hues. Flowing ideas are manifested that draw the viewer's attention to the brushstrokes, mark-making, and materiality on the surface of each painting that invites the viewer to experience the spontaneous playful chemistry and resonance of her works.
Jean Cherouny paints with her rollerblades to create original, layered, texture paintings with spiraling forms that express her kinetic nature with paint. While earning her Art Education degree she discovered this technique to utilize her athleticism, from a competitive skiing career, to allow her feet to express the energy she experiences through eye, mind and body.
My drawings, paintings, digital and video artwork delve into the depths of human emotions in surrealistic environments that unveil the instincts that reside within our collective psyche. This environment is a response to the societal norms surrounding personal stories that push the boundaries of conventional aesthetics of privacy, personal comfort and belonging.
My work offers formal and textural qualities that both confound and intrigue, inviting the viewer to upend assumptions, to step closer, and to consider the renderings in new ways. I challenge the conventions of art making in two-dimensional works that appear sculptural, and with hand-rendered forms that may be initially mistaken for photographs or digital manipulation.
My work is influenced by nature and the emotions associated with the land’s natural beauty, family, events, and spiritual emphasis; it’s often a combination of these. Although my work has significant meaning for me, I want the viewer to connect emotionally and interpret according to their voice and vision.
My aim is to create artworks that make the viewer think. My lyrical abstract paintings lead them into visual worlds where there is something to explore, something to resonate with. The multiple possibilities of interpreting visual reality give the viewer a sense of freedom and invite them to engage in a kind of intellectual play or experience.
I find inspiration everywhere. In recent years, however, I have been working with space research and science fiction. But nature, micro/macro also still has a big place in my world.
After several years of exploring various themes, mainly landscapes, it was exciting to begin a new series of exploring flora, involving new colours and abstraction. The recent Paisley series with its flowing organic imagery developed naturally from the floral series and the latest “Hot Flotsam”, a large work reflects an increasing emphasis on abstraction and an acknowledgement of global warming and pollution.
Creativity is the desire to express ourselves. To formulate these expressions, we have to draw from our reservoir of experience, dreams, desires and experimentation and mix together what was, what is, and what could be… I don’t think you can learn it, it is rather something that evolves. Your perception of everything in your life fills up this reservoir.
Symona Colina born in Ridderkerk the Netherlands in 1954. Participated in a number of exhibitions in several countries; the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, Spain, Belgium, England, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, My work is like the wind, perceiving perspective. A perspective which touches and surrounds me, and in its essence forms the source of my work and sparkles in endless interfaces.
Making a picture for me is not about trying to construct a pleasing image but about trying to communicate the emotional I felt when I encountered what I have sometimes called charismatic moments, when I see people or animals or a landscape that feels charged. Memory is a necessary way to recover that, a filter to remove anything that is superfluous to expressing that emotion.
After a literature diploma I worked a long time ago in events for an people experience. After that I decided to become self employed in sale decorative objects. But the passion of art was stronger. This year I participate to any blogs and magazines and set up my e-shop accessories.
Through painting, I channel emotion into color, allowing each brushstroke to raise my mood and create a more hopeful perspective. I hope my audience walk away with smiles on their faces, recognizing that there is beauty and joy even in darkness.
