Interview with Nora Komoroczki

After graduating from the University I started working as a journalist in Budapest. Later on, after becoming Editor in Chief of the inflight magazine of the Hungarian Airlines I could travel quite extensively, thus managed to visit wonderful places around the world and meet interesting people that inspired me to a great extent. When I began painting, attended some artist courses both in Budapest and Stockholm. My paintings are in oil on canvas, mainly landscapes, but I love to capture eyes and faces, as well. I had solo exhibitions in Sweden, Israel and Hungary and participated in group shows in Austria, Belgium, Romania and Hungary. My artworks were purchased by collectors in Australia, the USA, the UK and some other countries.

Interview with Theodora Waldahl Dea

Theodora Dea is an Oslo based artist, who studied visual art at NISS- Nordic Institute of Stage and Studio in the early 2000’s. Back then she made more figurative paintings on canvases. After years with a brush she moved on to liquid arts such as poring, and from there she discovered epoxy resin which is the medium used today.
She uses a mixed media technique of alcohol inc and resin to create organic and geometric shapes, adding gold and shimmer to elevate the 3D effects of the different layers of media, and to make the art playful to light.
Theodora loves nature, everything from the mountains to the ocean and all the way to the far galaxy, from micro to macro. This is where she draws inspiration as well as within. It’s important to Theodora to constantly developing both herself and her art.

Interview with Kana Hawa

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?

As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.
