Born in Florence, I attended the Artistic High School and then the Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in graphics and photography. After my degree on a thesis on Images and Music, "Vibrazioni-Florario Musicale" published in 1999 by L'Autore Libri in Florence, I spent nearly one year in Ireland, UK and Scotland to make some photo researches and study English full time. In the meantime I worked for some local newspapers as a freelance to make experience. Then I got back to Italy and started to collaborate also with another photographer, mostly to help him in balancing his images and sharing editorial works. I started to sell my images and products for editorial use, private collectors and galleries. My work is based on Photography, Graphics and Writing, trying to fuse these three media in a brand new style and ideas or also just use one of them from time to time. To imagine and images are my way to communicate. Cameras and Computers are my way to concretize it.

"Criticism is part of being an artist, and the only way I have ever taken it is for the betterment of my work. Not everybody is going to like what you do. While constructive criticism makes me a better artist, non constructive criticism is just someone's opinion, and usually worth ignoring. I find that I am my greatest critic. As long as I like my work and can see ways to improve it, I believe I will continue to grow as an artist". |

An award-winning artist taught me how to paint with watercolor and come up with something beautiful every time. I have since developed my own unique style. I use my imagination and intuition to lead me the way. |

Born near Montecassino, with a degree in Philospohy from the Istituto
Universitario Orientale of Naples. Margherita Fascione began to paint
on canvas at the age of ten with spontaneity and an intense
passion without ever having had contact
with any form of art. She stopped for many years to take it up again
soon after she graduated. A self-taught artist she showed her work in numerous
group and solo exhibitions. In the latest production, the female figure
becomes a protagonist, situated on an ideal threshold, suspended between
an temporal
"here" and a metaphysical "elsewhere", captured in the simplicity of her daily
attitudes, but with that amazement of looking at things as
if it were the first time. She has a deep vision, careful of the dismays
and the silences that besiege her autobiographic visions, a search inside
of oneself. . . an investigation of the "light" that can reveal the things in
their internal reality. |

Artiste contemporain, Fava travaille la superposition des matières. Ni abstrait ni conceptuelle son oeuvre est nourrie d'un va et vient entre doute et orgueil.Ses compositions épurées tirent leur force de paradoxes et d'oppositions. Son univers est puissant. Ces monochromes sont pour lui, une façon d'exprimer la pureté de la matière, de donner une legèreté à la masse. Est-ce le vide apparent qui sert la fulgurance de ces monochromes? Ses espaces vierges laissent apparaitre la mémoire du geste patiemment élaborée. Pierre Fava peaufine son univers jusqu'à le rendre systematique et le paradoxe tient du fait que sa maitrise est la matière. |

In his recent work, Michel Favre leads us into a world where dimensions are reversed, where humor, concern and hope, irony and satire are always present side to side. In his bronze sculptures, the artist also integrates other materials and objects. Miniaturized human figurers are set in confrontation with large objects, such as cylinders, spheres, pyramids... These fragile beings, lilliputs, constitute the frame of his work. The sculptor chooses hollow objects to produce a feel of tension, give opposite views, report ratios of forces and show scary balancing acts. With his precise sense of observation, Michel Favre gets his inspiration from our environment. In his scenarios, he is just revealing. In avoiding any personal judgement, he leaves total freedom for interpretation to the spectator. His sculptures are mirroring our society, inviting to meditation.

Most of the time I paint while listening to contemporary music of a repetitive nature. This background music has an undeniably dynamic effect upon me and my creativity. The relationship between music and painting is all the clearer because we call into play rhythms, vibrations, different tonalities, elements of form and matter which may find a reference in creating structure within space. As music evolves in time, and as I must work within two dimensions, and as I must make choices in dividing the field of vision in creating rhythms which I find the most appropriate at the optimal moment...But it is sometimes insufficient, and I am compelled to seek out extensions in the form of diptychs and triptychs to improve the portrayal of infinite continuity and movement, etc… |

As an artist I am multi-disciplinair, paintings, drawings, installations, statues of ceramic and polyesther, sculptures of wood and video. I hope you will enjoy all the artwork.

works are stored at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. A record
from his GuestBook: "I like the pure and the kind of simplicity
of your paintings (comics). They make me happy to look at." He wants always
to conform this statement. His other passion is an abstract portrait.

Frances Ferdinands is a Canadian-based painter who has exhibited for
over twenty years in such diverse places as Bogota, Paris, Honolulu,
and across the continental U.S.A. and Canada. Her work is generally created in "series" that have a specific thematic focus, such as WAR, URBAN / NATURE, ISOLATION, and most recently FASHION / ART.
These have served to express her concerns regarding the social and environmental conditions of
postmodern society. |

My paintings are about the human spirit. It is my wish to image the spirit within us that connects us as people. I paint to express what every soul experiences: the daily tasks, the emotions, the joys, and the sorrows. My people are painted different non-realistic colors because I do not want them seen as races or genders but in sameness, all are human. We all eat, love, hurt and share in our existence. As groups we call the truths of our lives by different names but we all have the same heart threaded through us and in that fabric is our commonality and our redemption from ourselves.
My greatest wish is that my paintings relate to what humanity feels and experiences as we are all searching for the meaning of our life journeys.

Jodie Fergusson-Batte was born in Melbourne and later lived in Queensland, Darwin and most recently Sydney before finally moving to settle in Daylesford, Victoria. Sydney is where Jodie found a strong and renewed passion for art. Daylesford is where she plans to spend the next few years focusing solely on this passion. For those who don’t know her, Jodie’s paintings are instantly recognisable. They are often comforting and retain a visible edge. The works are welcoming but at the same time arouse suspicions that you may be missing something. They show great strength accompanied by a sense of sublime well-being, or sadness, dependent upon the person viewing the painting. "I believe that people can see the layers of emotion, self-reasoning, courage, assurance, self-doubt and strength in my paintings that they can identify in themselves. This is what makes a painting personal to an individual. I don't want to tell a person what my painting is about, I prefer them to make up their own mind and then relate heir thoughts to me" |

I paint in an abstract expressionist style, with works flat on the floor, working from all four sides manipulating the paint. Created directly from the imagination, works evolve as I paint. Full of movement, texture, hidden glimpses of color and layers of built up paint.
I love to paint large dynamic works that both inspire and invigorate. Works that are not only visually stunning but can challenge the viewer to open their mind and explore their imagination.
Although I give each work a title, I encourage viewers to interpret works from their own unique perspective. Through this many interesting interpretations are expressed, making my works fascinating pieces for any environment.
Breasts, pelican, corset, captivating, waves, kickass, makes me feel alive; are some comments about the painting titled OThe dance¹ 48x60" (attached) at a preview night in London.
I aim to create works that people will love, gain enjoyment and inspiration from and will continue selling successfully worldwide. All enabling me to continue my passion for painting. |

I´ve always been fascinated of the expression in pictures. What makes an special atmosphere and how one can manipulate a mode just with a special look in somebodys eye or with different colours. Mostly figurative, more and more, I like taking my time with details so the motive came alive. In my latest work i paint separate flowers, girls or dogs. |

I am a Portuguese born artist currently living in Wales. Since early I travelled to many countries which has a strong influence on me. In my paintings I describe and express my journeys to different dream like places and cultures mixed with everyday reality. My goal is to transmit good inner feelings and take you on a trip to see a different imaginative world happening. Indulge your eyes in my colourful soothing style paintings. |

I am an expressionist. I cannot create a work of art without brutally expressing and releasing my own emotional baggage in the process. Like the German expressionist I use bold line and colors and I believe that art should not only depict the seen world but should also convey my emotional reactions towards it. I believe I can make my own, subjective statements about humanity by the exaggeration of form and colour and by depicting figures in an honest manner. By ‘honest ’I do not mean depicting them physically correct or by portraying them realistically, but by revealing things about them they do not like to show. I also try and employ this method in my digital photography.
I work in an honest style, subordinating realism to expression. I use bold, vigorous brushwork. I abandon naturalism in favor of distortion and exaggerations of shape.
I like to produce slightly shocking imagery to immediately move the viewer out of a comfortable place. Humans in general do not like being confronted by their own issues and emotional flaws. |

The paintbrush is my favorite tool. I begin by painting two or three different backgrounds on a canvas. I then split it up and add images and words to tie it together. I sometimes go with a theme but not always, often I will let the art create itself not unlike free hand poetry. I often paint in the still of the night. The next morning I might see that I picked apart and reassembled love, hate, want, need, and time. Words and symbols jumble. I believe you shouldn't understand art at first glance but should have to delve into it to truly appreciate the meaning.
My paintings show the mechanical way we go about living, our violent marches, our blunders. We ignore widespread suffering and obsess on irrational fears. My painting reflects this and hopes to awaken what's right there in front of us. |

Duggie Fields's dayglo post-pop paintings are instantly recognisable. Despite his concern with the identity-dissolving impact of mass media on the contemporary psyche, Fields manages to sustain a coherent signature style that is as flamboyantly dysfunctional as it is cool and simple. Applying overdriven colour and stripped down cartoon-ish drawing to produce mutant variations on classical poses and genres, Fields' work scrambles categories, freaked out and flatline, delirious and deadpan all at once. Combining elements from disparate cultural and historical vocabularies, Fields' paintings look like stained glass windows for some cathedral of modern Media. The artist's manic imagination throws up deranged icon paintings, casual violence erupting out of ritual and kitsch. Promiscuous and dangerously volatile, Field's multiverse is a place where ballroom dancing and comic book mutilation intersect. Nothing in Western culture is safe from Fields, for as the artist argues in his 'MAXIMALism' manifesto of 1995, digital media has rendered history part of a continuous present. Fields confronts us with the (sur)reality of an infinitely malleable, perpetually mediated world. The new media of the digital age allow 'infinite opportunities for new synthetic constructs', writes Fields. 'We are of necessity the Primitives of a New Sensibility, born in the Virtual Age.' " |

What I see inspires my work. Images ranging from public domain icons to archaic
glyphs fascinate me. With high voltage colors I search for a visual language of universal
archetypes. The creation and deconstruction of this language occurs through the physical
act of painting. In my recent work, color, texture, and layering become the psychology of
expression. Fauvism, Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and Carl Jung influence me.
Specific influences are Edvard Munch, James Ensor, Georges Rouault, Rainer Fetting, the
COBRA painters and Jean-Michel Basquiat

"Psychology is a subject that Firestone knows well. He is a well-known
psychologist whose research has been published widely in the United States.
As a scientist whose life's work is to observe and analyze emotions and
the human experience in general, Firestone's dual identity fits his choice
of artistic medium. For the digital world, of course, marries the scientific
with the artistic. Perhaps the artist's deep understanding of these two
disciplines"Firestone's parallel careers" is what has propelled
him to succeed in creating such profoundly moving imagery. Only a scientist
with a deep appreciation for recent advancements in technology could
fully be open to utilizing these new tools. Only an artist could use
such tools to create visual effects that serve as both homages to and
successors of classic works of surrealism by Man Ray, Ubac, Magritte,
and Dali. Only a psychologist with years of formal training and practice
could so accurately communicate the drama of the mental landscape. R.
W. Firestone is all of these: scientist, artist, psychologist. And his
art, so multifaceted visually, thematically, and technically, is a complex,
engaging hybrid of media, styles, and concepts that is both timely and
timeless in its originality."

I work exclusively in watercolor. Through my artist life I changed my painting style from the representational and representing to abstracting and to the abstract. This became my picturesque home meanwhile, corresponds my temperament. I work intuitively, I must work intuitively, only then, I can express something in my mind. I paint fast, it must flow and must pour out from me. Therefore the watercolor techniqe is the suited method for me. And I need colors around about me, colors are for me energies, let my soul bloom. And also there is the transparency of the watercolors for me an essential enrichment. Often, one is asked which moves one, what may one represent. My answer, I like to lead out the observer from our mechanized and automated world into the world of the imagination, the unconscious;like to reach that he leaves space and time a little. A part of my works therefore I have dedicated the topic "strange worlds." On this occasion, I worked consciously with wax-interruptions to get all the interesting structures. Also be found in some of my works Hints of figures, faces or shapes, that I didn't place consciously, they were simply created, and they allow each observer to see something "others". I supplement my painting with my second topic, the philosophy. That leaves its traces in my works. |

I mostly use myself as a model. Mainly because myself I know, myself I accept – and sometimes even like. I use myself as a model, because it’s me, for whom happen all those strange things, which I couldn’t explain otherwise than by art. I’m making art, because I wait; because I love; because I see; I’m making art, because I experience. Because pieces of fate connect and affect my life.
The world doesn’t hurt me. It is adding to me – the piece of world – other moments, that stay within me. Become main. I can see them through myself, change them into piece of art, I can see through them, I can show them to others. I can hand them out. I’m handing out myself and myself I’m getting back.
I give titles, because title for me doesn’t close anything, on the contrary – opens a lot of possibilities. It stimulates the brain, raises the desire to discover something. Pieces of discourses, poems, situations… - taken out of context pieces of life. I glue them to the paintings…

Helene Fleury was born in 1959. Drawing, sculpting and creations of all sorts have always been a natural necessity for her. Believing in the importance of mastering the techniques before acceding to a true liberty in the making of the artwork, she interupted her studies in visual arts at Laval University in Québec city to learn from professional portraitists, how to observe, percieve the subject, the vibration of forms and colors and how to use the most efficient manner to express it, considerations that where missing in the conceptual teaching. |

Née en 1969, la vocation de Sandrine Follère s’est affirmée dès son plus jeune âge en commençant la sculpture sur bois à seize ans. Sa première exposition en Bretagne, à dix huit ans, l’encourage à « monter à Paris » pour apprendre le travail de la terre et le dessin d’après modèle vivant. Sa rencontre, en 1988, avec les sculpteurs Clara Delamater et Jacques Gestalder va confirmer sa vocation pour la sculpture. Elle devient l’élève de Jacques Gestalder à son atelier de Boulogne Billancourt et ce, jusqu’en 1993. Jacques Gestalder est issu de l’école de la sculpture figurative, ancien élève de Raoul Lamourdedieu et de Robert Wlérick. En maître exigeant et encourageant, il va lui transmettre un savoir fondé sur l’observation de la nature, la construction des formes et des volumes, la rigueur des lignes sensibles. Jacques Gestalder : « Il faut regarder la sculpture de Sandrine Follère parce qu’elle dit la vérité. Qu’est ce que la vérité ? C’est la vie et rien d’autre que la vie qui passe et se transforme soit par la sensibilité, la passion d’être, le goût de vivre. » Sandrine Follère continue son propre chemin de création en affirmant sa sensibilité tant pour la sculpture d’après modèle vivant que pour les compositions abstraites. |

A self-taught and ardent metal sculptor, I use an oxyacetylene welding torch to fuse recycled metals and other discarded materials into bold objects of strength and beauty. These pieces spring from an intimate and personal exposure to Syrian, African and American cultures. These cross-cultural influences inspire a sense of pride and gratitude and give face, form and meaning to my work. |

I was born and still reside in Cape Town, South Africa.
I have been involved in art ever since I could hold a pencil or brush and continued to study art at school for 12 years. I obtained my diploma in Graphic design through Art Directors Workshop and i work in design, but my art career is far more important to me and is still and always will be a huge part of my life.(the design job just pays the bills until I start becoming more recognised in the art world.) Studying Art has been a life journey for me and i dont think it will ever draw to a close. I have done numerous commissioned paintings and have held a number of Exhibitions. Primarily I work in oil, but create with anything I can get my hands on: acryllic, oil, pencil, marker, spray paint, photoshop, flash animation, 3d animation, t-shirt prints etc etc etc - yes its a disease) anyways have a look at the gallery. I hope you enjoy my work. |

My aim is to capture fleeting moments of time and reorder them to reflect my own perceptions. This is elusive and therefore challenging, as my motifs walk, glance up or over, dance and run; they exist in the street, or even on a stage or theatrical venue. Movement and imparting life to my subjects is a key element in my work, and I use stable geometric elements to anchor them, because they are prone to flying off the page. As an artist what also intrigues me is the depiction of a thinking human being—the individual who is rational, alert, at work and at rest, in relation to other people, or alone, lost in thought. I treat pictorially those inner moments of the mind, because to me they are alive, and they do move as well.
Watercolor had been my primary vehicle of expression and had lent itself to the depiction of movement. In recent years, I have experimented with oil on canvas, working on a larger scale to achieve a marriage of opposites: drama and casual gesture wedded to color and form. My passion is to depict the world around me in vivid, glowing colors. My goal is to create paintings that are so pleasing to the eye that discussion is rendered pointless.

The world of emotions encompasses endless nuances which we experience in a particular manner and which are sometimes nameless since they are a mixture of feelings. I think about happiness following anguish, about the odd curiosity we feel when noticing someone who seems lost in thought on the bus, about the guilty indolence we experience when, while zapping, we witness massacres, catastrophes or someone asking for blood donors from the hospital only to switch over to the cooking recipe or fashion TV channels immediately after. In the XIX century, French poet Baudelaire describes a mood called “spleen”:
“When the cold, heavy sky weighs like a lid
On the groaning spirit, victim of long ennui,
And from the all-encircling horizon
Spreads over us a day gloomier than the night…”
These ambiguous sensations are what I am interested in embodying in my paintings.

I was trained as a painter in the classical tradition and started working with the
digital medium eight years ago. It has totally changed my way of creating art. The
digital tools are amazing and have opened up greater possibilities for creative

gain insights and communicate these concepts about how things work on many levels.

“Art of Jeremias’” abstract exhibits, held in light Oil colors, spread a positive vitality and are bringing up visitor individual Emotions and Associations. Asked for the reason why all paintings do not have a name the artist stated: >>I have been asked the question again and again how I start a painting. Most people think at the start of a painting an Artist needs a Theme that he is going to follow. My experience tells me that a Theme develops while painting - it is an expression of the feelings and impressions I get during this process. I can not name my paintings only one time – and therefore do not want it! Most of the time I convert Impressions and the happened, but most of the time I am driven by emotions and colours. Therefore I am very interested in the impressions visitors get by looking at my paintings. |

Freidin's paintings consist of pure abstractions, surreal desert landscapes, and various depictions of the crucifixtion. He is also adept at figure drawing, to which he has a renewed interest.
Freidin's philosophy is based on constant change. "I never know what my subject matter or theme is going to be until I'm way in my work, and even then it is bound to change." " I think to be an artist you need the skill to go in any direction you choose." That is what I am striving for. |

The focus of my work is on the colors and illusions of movement, depth, and luminosity that are common to most of my work. It has been described as sci-fi abstracted, quasi-organic form. Important influences on my work are Boris Vallejo and H.R. Giger.
I do not try to communicate underlying messages, but rather wish the viewer to discover his/her own connection and interpretation of my work. There are no messages or hidden agendas. I usually don't set out knowing exactly what my work is going to look like, but am most comfortable watching where my hands take me - much like getting into a trance. It’s mostly just inspired by my imagination. I’m not interested in changing what art "means" or fitting into some kind of cultural or "style" category, but strive to follow my internal guidance, and my feelings. If other people end up liking my work, it's an added bonus. I’m not saying this is the best and only way to approach creation - it's just the way I work and produce best and I've discovered through my own experience that my work speaks most clearly when I let it speak on its own. |

I find inspiration in many forms of media. Creating art for me is about constantly reflecting on my place in the world, discovering how to distill and interpret my interaction with what surrounds me and documenting that personal relationship. |

Frost digitally collages images from objects of everyday life to
create figures and narrative scenes; likewise, close inspection may
show a figure to be made from paper clips, bits of jewelry, leaves or
rock. While the work is created using 21st century technology, the
imagery varies from suggesting the primordial or anthropological to
the modern.
At times, narratives evoke ancient places filled with
mythic beasts; thus, the viewer may ask what endures in human nature,
despite time and place and the ever-changing veneer of technological
sophistication.
At other times, 21st century themes are directly
referenced in titles and content; the imagery becomes a metaphorical
exploration of how our identity, what we call our "core self", is
molded, programmed or even prefabricated by our current environment.

Art is the very mirror of who we are, our aspirations and hopes, our fears and struggles, our loves and hates. She reflects our inner self, our dignity and weakness, our inadequacies as well as strengths. But art is also a window to a world envisioned by faith alone. The world of the saints and angels, the heaven of God. It is from the Creator that we originate and have our being. And so the world of art we create, is also His gift of inspiration to us. The gift of His tender love. |

Born and raised in Japan. I am a painter and graphic artist based in NYC. Through my artworks, I strive to explore essential beauty and simplicity of the composition and I emphasize the mood and tone by exaggerating shapes and colors. Often when recalling a memory, an experience, or describing a scene as it plays out in front of us, it is in our human nature to exaggerate. It is my intent to express this exaggeration in life, in experience, in memories, realistically or surrealistically in my artworks. |
