I am an Italian artist, and have been in quite important exhibitions in New York, Barcelona and Italy.
I am currently living and practicing as an artist in London,
I could describe the process of my own artwork this way: at first, physically, you must make a void in yourself! Then automatically the mind takes its source in the subconscious. The first graphic apparitions on paper are pure gesture, rhythm, incantation, and as a result, pure scrawl! During the second phase the image that was latent claims its rights!

I ensure to deliver a message, create an incident, or to color a feeling in each single painting I paint. I believe that my art gives the observer the chance to have his/her own impression and feelings about any painting that I create.
I think that abstract art it is a perfect combination of untamed madness and focused creativity which enable me to paint what he can feel, see and touch. Abstract art is not an open book to read from and understand every word written within its pages, I think people do not have to understand abstract art as much as to feel it because good artists paint what they feel, not what they understand. |
 | I guess that in a nutshell, my work deals with everyday aspects of life. I tend to deal with things that I find absurd from the news media as well as pulling from my memory of things I have seen and heard which could be overheard conversations or casually watching someone when they don't know it. I like to put all of these images that I conjure up, into my works. Sometimes this is done by using collage elements, drawing, printmaking, or painting. |

Symbolic, timeless is the reflection of her soul and ours; mirror of a life's experience to some, an unsilvered mirror of the future to others. Her sculptures form a sweet and harmonious symphony, where human feelings - whether open, subtle or profound - are exalted. AII her works are created by means of the age-old "colombin" technique, which consists of superimposing rolled strips of clay. The way these are arranged determines the shape the artist wishes to give the work. This technique is extremely rare in sculpture. After the two firings needed for their completion, DAÏA's sculptures are born in bronze and fixed for eternity, the artist keeping the originals. If DAÏA's works are symbols, each one of us may discover their meaning with no previous initiation. DAÏA's studio is a symbolic universe where the realm of the imagination gives matter all its original strength by joining to it a human dimension. Sculptor of the soul, an artist ot great sensitivity, DAÏA offers us her work in the form of an invitation to share in the complicity or universal emotion. |

J. Dali is a painter of the soul-a conveyor of thoughts and images captured with colors, lines, lights, and shadows. While painting portraits, he requires his subjects to sit for him as he communicates the person's very essence, thoughts, dreams, and emotions onto canvas. For commercial commissions and public art displays, he seeks to represent the energy of an idea or atmosphere through symbolism in each one-of-a-kind work. |

I started photography when i was just a teen. My brother showed me his camera and it was magic ever since. I love taking pictures of anything that sparks my interest, and eye. These pictures were created through time, vision, and patience. I often see things as a picture waiting to be taken so I grab my camera and shoot away. |

Frank Dammers' art is considered to be innovative and inspiring. The colorful geometrical and figurative composition feature extraordinary special effects. |

His work consists essentially in painting on paper: watercolours, gouache, dry and oil pastel, and mixed techniques. Dancer's work, simple and modern in its form, follows a dialogue with the great artists of the past on the elementary problems of painting: feeling, expressing, making a mark, giving an idea of the object (Turner, Monet, De Kooning, Pollock, Bacon, David Hockney).
Dancer is trying to express 'Man in front of Landscape and Nature', and in front of bodies, however torn, fragmented, deconstructed or sexually provocative they are. Rapidity of execution and lightness of supports are part of his technique and reflect for us the timelessness of life and its dramatic presence. From watercolours landscapes to abstraction or expressionist caricature, he speaks about something in us that is fragile, derisory but also eternally tragic, durable, solid and joyful. |

I work with acrylic on MDF paint panel.
My work has to be done properly and as professionally as possible in order to produce a painting that will be durable.
I paint layer on layer in a glacis technique that eventually produces the desired unity of representation and surface.
Transparency and three dimensionality, a shimmer filtering through and accentuation, contours formed and flat surfaces filled in, all become one totality within the framework.
The under painting and final finishing are time consuming.
Each painting is made on a bearer, thus giving a strong, stable and durable surface, where the paint can be put on.
I have chosen MDF paint panel because it is the stiffest material that one can get, disadvantage is, it is quite heavy.
The bearer continually changes somewhat in form and size.
To make the bearer suitable for painting I prepare it with gesso which forms a buffer between the bearer and the paint.
The gesso is put on in a few crosswise layers, on the front, back and sides of the bearer.
According to the end result that I want to achieve, determines whether ground colour will well/or not be used.
The undercoat colour is predetermined with the tonality of the subject and gives uniformity to the painting by shining through the next coats of paint.
Then the drawing is printed on the prepared bearer with the help of transfer-paper.
The drawing is then with paint elaborated and placed on the painting.
In the under painting the volumes are modelled.
The places where the light falls are determined with the exception of the high light and the deepest shadow also height and depth these are done later.
The under painting comprises of very little colour and is finished with a medium mat and a little white.
Now follows a layer of paint wherein careful colour (transparent or half transparent) and some details are added.
Followed by few coats of medium paint to protect the colours.
The painting is completed with a few final coats of varnish.
Frits Dang was born in 1953 in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) and grew up in Rotterdam.
He started drawing (a skill that was self-developed) at a young age.
Drawing was not enough for him, so he started painting, first in watercolours sometimes in combination with pen and ink, which was quickly followed by oil painting.
He was inspired to surrealism after seeing works of Salvador Dali, Karel Willink and Wim Schumacher.
Frits dang also does realistic works, mostly on order for clients.
His love of animals can be seen throughout most of his realistic work.
His passion will always be for surrealism.
Both his surrealistic and realistic works have been bought by private collectors.
Originality and own style and technique" are of vital importance in his work.

Being a multi cultural artist who has lived and traveled in 3 different continents in the world definitely affected my work. Thus, my paintings and prints are based on personal as well as universal icons. The word icon may mean an image, a representation, a simile or symbol. Icons are very much a part of our present world. It has been used since pre-historic time and we are still being influenced by it.
In my latest mix media “Scroll” series, I try to develop art that is both lyrical and portable, a reflection of the nomadic nature of one who is constantly on the move. Recognizing this sense of displacement, I never really belong anywhere, and so I try to create my own cultural space wherever I find myself. It is a way for me as an artist to make sense of things around me. Thus, creating the scrolls make perfect sense since these banner-like images are "transportable" just like myself. The scrolls can easily be rolled up and carried around and like myself, could be reinvented, able to adapt and survive.
My motivation in creating works of art stems from my enjoyment in expressing myself and exposure to different cultures continues to inspire me in so many ways, I have acquired a more global perspective on the symbols and images in art. I've also come to realize that symbols and icons all over the world speak of the universal themes of fear, joy, hope, pain, and celebration. I believe that we are one collective eye sharing a single planet. |

This artist's painting is affiliated to what we may call the free figuratives. Its has a visual association with stained glass and comic strips. Two influences which totally assume to add more unconscious and dilute influences are the arts, media and basically the everyday world. |

Because of the devastation of World War II, Russian "girls" in the '40s and '50s were taught to be tough and work hard. I am saddened by the fact that Russia never had the chance to enjoy the happy pin-up times of America's postwar period. In fact, cheerful American pin-up art was considered in Soviet Russia to be politically incorrect, decadent and flat-out immoral, the product of a culture that could never understand the true nature of the human condition.
By photographing exclusively Russian immigrant women in traditional all-American pin-up poses, I am inventing my own genre of Russian pin-up. My concept is to portray pure beauty, femininity and sexuality, not to objectify but to empower. To those who identify the clues in my work, hidden to most non-Russian eyes, I am telling the story of a crisis of Russian national identity, and the frustration and confusion of self-identification with the Old Country, the New World and a diaspora caught between them. My goal is to bridge the gap and seduce the spectator with alluring imagery, trapping him into empathizing with a foreign element.

I am interested in translating experiences into pictures and conversely pictures into experiences. My work contains some specific references to my life. However, the imagination can become a kind of magnifying glass for examining unifying themes like innocence, tragedy, humor, etc. Whatever flows from my hand, weather an image of Heaven or Hell, hopefully comes from a love of my craft and of humanity.
I am exulted and terrified by how rapidly my children are mastering this world. My work often involves attempts to capture the moment before the cold “facts of life” erode innocence and imagination. Being able to hold on to that inherent playfulness and creativity is part of what defines humanity in the first place. My work tries gingerly to inflate small fantasies and keep them adrift for a while amid a current of objectivity.

Self taught, I recall my first memories as being the start of my creative studies. Making pictures out of the patterns created by the deciduous trees outside my nursery windows, through the changing seasons was a daily ritual. Staring would encourage vivid colors, especially at night, and the wind would stir them into moving pictures. This habit of seeing pictures in the patterns of nature, or just about anything, was an entertaining past time.until I saw something on the surface of a stone. Thus was born the beginnings of my Painted Rock Formations in 1973. They are Sculptural Paintings.with no adjustments to the stone except for cleaning and the application of paint. Through these many years, my work has become more sophisticated in their visions and in their finishes. Each piece is titled and a one of a kind.
I have created flat work in several mediums and explored in many other creative venues. Now I concentrate my flat work in acrylics and am teaching myself to work with oils.
Interested in psychology and being an avid people watcher, the subject matter for most of my work is the human being. In my rockwork, this results in many interesting characters. In my flat work, I have done several portraits. I am working to widen my flat work subject matter with florals, landscapes, still lifes and experimental abstracts.
Mostly, being creative is what I am driven to do. It is when I am most whole and at one with the universe. Through visual and tactile interests, I hope to inspire the viewer to delve within and go beyond his or her own world.to be intrigued.

As a photo realism artist working vibrant transparent layers into my art paintings,
it can take over a hundred hours to finish each piece of artwork. My passion is realism
and I followed it through the mediums of pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolor and oils.
Reading the eyes of animals, for years, gave way to telling stories of travels-through
the portraiture of beautiful and historical places visited. I hope my art is a reminder
of your own story there or encourages you to go make one. |

The images I paint are a mixture of sublime surrealism infused with Pre-Columbian
symbolism inspired by ancient and magical places in Mexico like Teotihcan. Using the
knowledge of my heritage and the skills I have developed as an artist, my goal is to
illustrate the experience and hope of growing up being a Mexican artist in the United
States. The essence of my art is a combination of creativity, persistence and a civic
conscious resulting in art that speaks of universal issues affecting us all. As an
artist, living in the 21 century, I'm also looking to make an impact within my community
through mentorship and workshops to show youth that any dream is possible as long as you
work hard and persistently at it. The artwork I create is constantly evolving with each
new phase of my life and it is a way for me to document the changes and movement of our
time as a society as I experience it. |

What did it mean in the 1990s when we were saying the personal computer was a breakthrough on the scale of the printing press 600 years ago, continuing human invention of written languages thousands of years before? Johannes Gutenberg has been declared the “man of the millennium” for his movable letter press which changed economics, politics and cultures. What will happen now with global communication networks further enabling our language instinct, and demands for knowledge?
Human nature will keep changing. With the laws of nature and human truths "established by art" (JFK), change is the enduring key. The universe (our planet) constantly, dizzyingly, unfolds in every direction. We know and forget. We face constant decisions about following divine instincts or lazy ones until they merge in the sheer presence I hope my art suggests.
"To be, or not to be" used to be the question. Now we learn "to be, And not to be," regaining "the name of action," beyond altruism, by repeatedly, courageously remembering our place in communities, alive and dead, forgetting ourselves and "what dreams may come."

In the world of Alicia DeBrincat's paintings, women are alone with their thoughts and lost in the abstract world of their own psychology. Her paintings present solitary women physically present, deliberately posing for the viewer they know is watching them, but absorbed with private concerns and emotionally inaccessible. The viewer is granted full visual access to their physical bodies, and the paint is handled with an eye for anatomy and a delight in the sensual quality of human flesh. What is not on display, however, is the back stories and experiences that lurk just beyond the picture plane, influencing their posture, their pose, their distant gaze. The titles of the works are similarly ambiguous, offering a brief definition while allowing various interpretations. |

Mark Dedrie did not choose the easy way in our rapidly evolving art scene. He does not give in to short fashion up comes, he labours following a well-defined process, with steep craftsmanship working on the ideal image inspired by his eyes. Do not search for detailed sculptor's drawings in Dedrie's drawers. To him, a sculpture is a sculpture, not a two dimensional drawing. Dedrie dreams and sees the sculpture mentally. Time and time again hat builds it slowly and unrepeatably. He mounts it, pours it in bronze, polishes it and caresses it almost infinitely - until that FINAL sculpture with that nearly etheric patina appears. Since meaning and appearance must impregnate each other and form a completely homogeneous unity. |

Water is so important in my painting of nature.
Is it the sound, the motion, the constantly changing views or the power to smooth granite? The more I draw and photograph a site, the more I feel that I belong to that place. It’s not just the visual surface that interests me, it’s the energy in the stone and the rush of heightened excitement I feel when I hear falling water. I am in sympathy with the place. My shapes, colors, brush strokes and vision come out of that place and out of my mind.
All of my paintings of water are places that I have visited. I’ve hiked the rocky gorges and hemlock ravines of mountains from our National Parks to the New York Adirondacks. I try to capture the terrain, the energy and the many moods of nature. Observing the waterfalls of Yellowstone River from Artist’s Point, I felt a kinship to Thomas Moran and other earlier artists who made field sketches on expeditions. My method of working favors sketching on site to capture the flux and flow of the river and the rocky surface which sustains it.
I create oil paintings on canvas and plastic. Working on mylar (heavy plastic) enables me to suggest moving water which shimmers when dappled by the sun. I create a visual approximation of the ephemeral effects of water in the landscape: transparent, frothy or writhing against rocks.I love layering and rolling the mylar paintings into cylinders, so one can look through, walk around or suspend the painting.
My vision of the physical world is informed by growing up on the Susquehanna
River in Pennsylvania and living next to a large estuary in New York. I
make art to understand nature and myself. |

E. Denis was born in 1971 in Belarus into a family of architects.
Denis grandfather, who was a photo correspondent and well known for his
contribution to his country's culture, had a profound influence on him
in that he taught Denis to always see the positive in the world around
him. In his early childhood, Denis painting skills were evident and his
parents encouraged him to attend art school to become a professional
artist. From 1989 until 1991, however, Denis served in the army and also
got married. His release from the army coincided with the fall of the
Soviet Union, but now, Denis had a family to support. He put his artistic
ambitions on hold and pursued business career. He became successful,
but in 1998 he divorced and was forced to reevaluate his life. Introspection
and religion played a more vital part in his life, and he believed now
that "a man has to devote himself to something determined from on
high, by God." Accordingly, at the age of 28, Denis decided to devote
himself completely to the arts. His first creations sold easily, but
he began to study under different teachers from the Academy of Arts so
he could perfect his craft. In 1999, Denis was chosen to create four
images of saints on the major bell of the Petropavlovsky Cathedral in
Minsk . In 2000, he began working as the head of the design department
at a manufacturing company which afforded him the opportunity to meet
influential clients and show his artwork at international exhibitions.
Also in 2000, he was invited to become a member of the Belarus Association
of Free artists. In 2002, Denis visited Israel and fell in love with
the country, its views and its people, and this is where he works and
lives today.

With works that could be described as a cross between surrealism and fantasy, spiced with a hefty does of allegory thrown in "for good measure," David Derr's art stands out as truly unique. One is tempted to see influences of Dadaism or the Blaue Reiter school of Expressionism in Derr's free use of color and form, but his oils, mixed media, and digital works are distinctive and highly original. Intriguing and challenging viewers through an astonishingly rich vocabulary of symbols and allusions, they bear carefully crafted, often humorous titles which tantalize the mind and evoke connections to music, philosophy, literature/poetry, theater and, of course, to visual arts

I want my paintings to make people smile. I intend their moods to be playful and light-hearted. I like to exaggerate the natural world by enhancing its color. Once I've captured the likeness of my subject, exotic color combinations begin to appear, suggesting and/or revealing an emotional expression.
Involved in art from an early age, I pursued a career in commercial art for several years, doing architectural renderings, designing logos, and painting signs. When I finally decided to make the leap into fine art, my true love, I became involved with helping my good friend host art workshops at her guest ranch, the Bunkhouse at the Wenmohs Ranch in Cypress Mill, Tx. In doing so, I've been fortunate to be able to study with such artists as Bob Rohm, Charles Sovek, Lesley Rich, Bobbie Kilpatrick, and a number of other well-respected artists. They, and my commercial work, all have had extraordinary influences on my art. |

I love art so much that it is like breathing to me. I do it because I cannot live without it; I see the whole world through the eyes of an artist. My art speaks for my soul. Sometimes, it is happy and pleasing. Other times, it is sad and controversial. Always, it is colorful, unique, and imaginative. My art reflects my love of humanity, the power and beauty of women, and the confusion life brings to us. My art is powerful and complex. Life is complex, so why shouldn't art be? My art encompasses my emotions, thoughts, hopes, experiences and beliefs.
I have been developing my own unique style of painting for many years, which incorporates multiple techniques, depending on what thoughts and emotions I’m trying to convey. Each of my art works combines various color schemes, methods, media and techniques to capture the emotions and themes I want the viewers to feel and think. My work is as varied as my own emotions, and I want to pass those emotions on to the viewers.

I paint abstracts in acrylic on canvas and for the past year my paintings have become increasingly non-objective with shapes layered and textured. For me, the importance of my work is the time I put into them. |

Das Paradies pflegt sich erst dann als Paradies zu erkennen zu geben,
wenn wir aus ihm vertrieben sind. H. Hesse Ein paar Worte möchte ich
meinen Bildern beifügen, von denen ich hier eine Auswahl präsentiere.
Kunst bedeutet für mich die geheimnisvolle Kraft, eigene Gefühle,
Empfindungen und Beobachtungen sichtbar zu gestalten. Resonanz auf diese
Form von Ausdruck zu finden, andere Menschen zum Gestalten ihrer Gefühle
zu
ermutigen, ist Sinn dieser Präsentation.
Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt meiner Internetpräsentation soll unsere Hündin/Welpe "Funny" und diese eindrucksvolle Rasse der Landseer-Hunde einnehmen. Inzwischen sind hierzu in meinem Atelier einige künstlerische Arbeiten entstanden, als Algraphie und Aquarell/Mischtechnik.

Engraving on x-rays
X-ray is a scientific conquest of the modern world –firstly seen in the late 19th century- while engraving has been used for expression in the very early days of our history –such as artifacts on wood or stone. In these artworks modern science and ancient art are “molded” onto the artistic canvas.
An attempt to “film” human nature and the living physical world in all of its expressions, a sounding of psychic abyss through a contradiction, peeping under the thick flesh, scraping off the…stitches.
X-rays, MRIs, are the most realistic photos of ones self –souls in captivity-represent the rival force, the matter, the substance. Color used as an imprint of the ethereal, an idea, a dream, a spirit …Engraving, the technique: the means to unveil what’s hidden, capture the moment, like a claw its victim. Light: its existence was the first passion and fear for it brings revelation. Size of the artworks: small (x-ray size) depicting irrational images on our anatomy, a series of images like inner thoughts and dialogue. Grand size, exceeding human proportions just like every sentiment.

I’ve always been fascinated with Greek mythology. So rich in ancient narrative lore. Every civilization that occupied Greece at one time or another, drank from its mythical spring, and left with a cultural token that influenced and advanced its own society. Inspired from my own odyssey to Greece, my recent collection of mixed media work, ‘MOYEA’ (muse), I visually explore the female form as a positive source of inspiration. A form that embodies life, knowledge, and passion. A form that mixes my paint and brushes my soul. |

It is difficult being an artist in todays world. no matter where we turn, especially in the acedemic world, we are fighting our past and the history of art to distinguish ourselfs. I have worked within many mediums, taught classes, done workshops, worked within several institutions that support art, and for suppliers of art materials. So far, ive learned that our impression of style can only be developed over a long, long time, and that style is nothing more than pieces of our segmented memories of art we've looked at and adored throughout our lives. Artists young and old must remember that our ideas, our own aproach beyond what which we know, are what really matters. stlye is an illusion, but ideas are what change the world. |

DNA is a collaborative team of two News York based artists: Aaron Almendral and Mariano Delgado. DNA is a portraiture company specializing in two-toned portraits. These are portraits to their simplest form. Before the image is sketched on canvas, DNA ensures that only the special intangible qualities of the subject are captured. Each portrait is worked on by the two artists through a long and thoughtful process. Each work contains equal contribution from each artist. The process in creating a single portrait is very involved and the two artists must agree on every detail of the portrait before it is painted on the canvas. |

Photograph is my passion. I'm only satisfied when I succeed to make "speak" my photos.
I spend most of my time to realize ten, hundred, thousand photos, always with the reason to take
the moments of the events, from the animals, in the things and in the nature generally. I love to be
spontaneous and I confide in my inspiration. The most beautiful photos of persons anytime are the
photos where they are spontaneous that is when they don't know there is someone who takes a picture.
Finally I think the photography is an art that we learn and go on with passion, eagerness and
research without take a break.

An aproach to the digital canvas creating directly from the digital pen and tablet, sketching, drawing and painting into the screen allowing me to capture the gestural energy involved, then processing with a wide range of digital tools, working at the same time in a series of Digital Artworks, i keep different versions to alter them in a later session, generating an environment in which shapes, color, lights, textures are merged with the background, expressing energy and motion, with Digital Art tools and techniques, remaining the digital handraw inpulse as the main source.
The Computer as a tool for the creative process is amazing as you can merge and manipulate , draw, paint directly on the screen with a pressure sensitive tablet and pen, capturing the moment with gestural expression. My aproach when i face the digital canvas, and the process of creation takes an attitude towards the bottom line, crossing through my expectations, to witness and unfold traces, shapes, and discovering new forms.
My approach towards Digital Art in the creation process is based in the direct input of the digital canvas, allowing the drawing and painting process fusion with expression and evolve taking shape through several steps. I start with a base colors canvas and then transform and add digital drawings and paintings with a pressure tablet, fusioned and mixed with processing image software such as Painter and Photoshop, and sometimes with others software.
Abstract shapes, gestural traces, strokes, drawings, textures, colors are fusioned and blended, then I take a pause and take a look back until a shape or form emerges from within the canvas, as discovering new images, sometimes this process allows me to explore another way to face the creation process, from abstract shapes and forms emerge figuratives shapes as faces or figures, that become the light motive of the main composition. |

“His father, sculptor, transmitted his love for the materials and his mother, a dressmaker, the elegance of her Spanish roots, he has kept the unrestrained impulse to plug banderillas into resignation…”
Dominique Bunuel “Steps magazine”

A multimedia artist living in the Waikato region of New Zealand. Painting for many years, I have recently started sculpting in hard and soft stone, creating contemporary structures mainly for the outdoors. Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Arp and Brancusi have been my inspiration.
My paintings have also been influenced by the great contemporary artists of the early 1900's - Magritte, Dali, Ernst and Picasso to name a few. The subject matter is usually personal, so my work reflects what is happening in my life. However lately I have been experimenting with abstraction and different media, resulting is a more relaxed style. As with most artists the addiction is permanent.

The unifying source of my work is my desire to evoke religious experience through visual form. Although aesthetics and the attention to materials and artistic technique are the means by which viewers perceive that which is beautiful. I see these as sensual vehicles toward greater comprehension of life forces. That there are disparate paths toward this goal is demonstrated by the fact that over the past couple of decades, my own artistic approach has manifested itself in two complementary bodies of work. The act of drawing has been a longstanding interest, particularly in the rendering of my own life experiences set in fantastical milieus. I refer to my series of ink drawings as a “passion play” or “songs of innocence.” Over a series of a dozen intricately-detailed black-and-white images, I show the same male protagonist, seen in a Medieval, jester-like costume, balancing the world’s globe on a decorated stage like a seal- lion with a ball at a carnival, in a tree lined garden beneath a full moon over a clouded night, in the act of painting roses on an arbor red, or quietly meditating near swirling Van Gogh-esque cypresses. Theses imply glimpses from mystical experience. Flat linear patterns and densely textured surfaces, hard and soft, energize the compositions and suggest vibrations of the universe. The detailed fullness of these imagines scenes rewards sustained observation. Another approach to enticing visual contemplation is my series of nonfigurative color fields. These compositions are constructed of 40 one-inch squares, each a solid but different hue, adjoining each other on the same plane without overlapping. The span of colors in each work ranger from distinct contrasts to subtle differences. The various associations symbolized by the number 40 – the period of Jesus’ days in the Garden, of Noah’s flood, the number of day of lent – are differently suggested in each work through the particular sweep of colors and their alignment. For example, the experience of rebirth, renewal, and associated innocence and cleanliness evoked in the religious calendar by the period between Easter and Pentecost is conveyed by a spectrum of subtle tints of white. Seemingly abstract, these radiant expanded draws upon age-old solar symbols and themes associated with particular colors in nature. Whether narrative or without direct representational elements, my work aims to reintegrate spiritual sensitivity into contemporary experience. I seek to offer a stimulating visual experience, but which will also inspire awareness of forces greater than oneself. By exploring this through two different visual means – one more, one less, directly representational – I am testing the boundaries of art and of faith. |

" The paintings are informed by abstract expressionism and imbued with gestural compositional elements to express emotive nuance and verve. Skillfully executed the work achieves poignancy through a unque perspective that resonates throughout the cohesive presentation. Wonderful work. " Angela Di Bello |

Originally an historian, I used to seek and am still seeking the human being, I can sense him through his many facets and stratum, unable to ignore his links with past, with his own history, his relationship with group and family.
I feel all the more sensitive, that today things seem to move faster in a society that considers itself as resolutely modern and is still repeating itself, violence, the power relationship, self power and group power. The very group that makes me feels scared and at the same time is touching in its social utopia, its quest for an ideal.
I want to arouse interrogations using some tracks to catch your eye and let you loose in the mystery of unpainted.
I frequently use strong and bright colors reminding the tragicomedy of life and our wounds.

My work focuses primarily on childhood behavior within contemporary culture. I like to work with improbability, transgression and distortion, playing with the size of the figures in different compositions. This improbability often let us discerns more exactly between what is normal and what is not; dysfunction helps to elucidate function.
I use images found in pop culture, magazines and illustrations of children’s books, and place them in a different context, acquiring thus different meanings. The main characters in my paintings perform a particular role in a sinister, erotic and whimsical way, creating an allegorical and metaphorical narrative structure. |

Ingalora studied Photography in her native country Austria and Canada than continued with classes in Painting, Printmaking and Ceramic in Toronto, Vancouver and San Miguel de Allende. “I started my artistic career when I was 3 years old. One day when my Artist/Architect grandfather was napping and letting his painting of a female nude dry, I decided to change the colour of the painting to bright green. My grandfather, recognising my talents bought me my first set of water-colours that I used immediately to modify his drawings for the design of a new house. My ideas were not very well received and that is why I never pursued a career in architecture. For my 6th Birthday I received my very own camera, a Baby Brownie and I have not stopped taking photos since. I spent most of my teenage and all of my adult years in and around Jazz clubs and Jazz concerts. One of Jazz greatest to make a strong impression on me was John Coltrane and even now the tenor saxophone is my favourite instrument. I tried to learn to play the tenor sax, but my dog would not stop howling every time I practised. So, I decided to stick to the Visual Arts. The focus in my work is colour, texture and diversity. Creativity to me is being open and willing to work in many different media’s, combine media’s and try everything. There is so much to explore and to experience. I always work on several different projects simultaneously." |
