Females and their beauty; always a popular, intriguing and inspiring theme for artists and art enthusiasts throughout the ages, it has become a predominant theme in my own art. I've always admired the masters of this challenging theme for their talent and competence in passionately creating portrayals of females of their time, whether the art style is realism, romantic, classical nude or modern abstract, they are all to be admired. My work has been described as: realistic, romantic and gentle, above all for me it's a celebration and observation of the outer beauty of ‘the feminine woman’ of my own time.
I also paint images of animals and birds, and abstracts, I really enjoy the freedom this theme provides, allowing free expression with colour and movement, and I love experimenting with different mediums and application methods. To date my paintings have sold to private collectors in Europe, U.S.A. and Australia. For me art is a passion, and to create is a wonderful and appreciated pleasure.

I always loved art. And since I got a computer my first interest was art too. So I
got to know the computer graphics and started with Terragen, then Vue d'Esprit, a little
bit Poser and now learning the 2d graphics using Painter. I am fascinated of the lot of
possibilities here. Being concerned with the computer graphics is also a wonderful way
to relax for me and get away from it all :)

Eemeel's figurative paintings of portraits of women and nudes reflect a modern rough style which does not follow a specific trend but is rather based on his personality and experience.

Ehlenberger is one of very few sculptors that focuses on the use of neon in his work. Along with neon, he often includes aluminum and other metals in his sculpture as well as glass lenses, hand blown glass and a variety of mixed media. While most of the art work is abstract, there is some figurative and representational work also in additon to functional neon designs. |

"Equator" 9 x 7 inches. This one is a personal favorite and one of
my first space prints. It is an illustration of Foucault's pendulum.
It is
dark, subtle, and heavily layered. It was mostly created with gum- based
xerox
transfers.

Each photographic painting,as I term my medium, is one of a kind, hand printed and hand painted, no computer is used. The sizes of my works on fiber paper range from 5"x7" to 40"x65". Carl Jung and the dream process has influenced my work. |

Rob Elphinstone specializes in capturing the beauty of the Canadian west coast
through his textured wild flowing landscapes. His art reflects the belief that our
senses reveal only a shadow of what we truly experience. He feels that the beauty of a
place is seldom captured by a photo or a video. Our senses take in a fraction of what
we perceive about the world. This tiny fraction is the shadow of what is really there.
Good art should not have to be about what the inner psyche experiences or displaying
perfectly what is optically there but should be about the unseen reality that everyone
feels. Each painting reflects a striving towards that goal.

When you abstract the essence of music and visual art, an underlying structure,
form and rhythm can be discerned. The notes, rhythm and tempo of a musical piece can
evoke thoughts, feelings and sensations, much the same as colors, texture, strokes and
shapes in a painting. This is certainly true in my art, which is a mirroring of my
internal landscape as well as a reflection of what is happening externally. My paintings,
because they are abstract, are essentially energy made visible. They are an exploration
of the interplay between form and formlessness, emergence and dissolution, using color,
texture, and the strokes of the palette knife upon the canvas. To create my paintings, I
have to be willing to confront myself, the unknown, the shining void, to go deep within -
to go crazy, even, albeit a somewhat controlled madness. It takes courage, and ongoing
questing. Otherwise the vitality and energy and life and spirit could not come through.

ENRICO has started painting in 1992, by revealing himself as an introvert author. He was born in Parma in 1968 and began to love art as a child. He took a degree in Economics, but decided to follow his passion. He is member of “Art and culture” a club of artists in Parma. The endless changing of emotions and the transformation of painting techniques make each one of his pictures a unique and true work of art, fruit of an untiring research. |

Beate Epp, Award winning artist, was born 1964 in Germany. In 1999 she came to
Canada and now lives with her husband on a farm in Saskatchewan. She enjoys her life
in the country with cattle, horses, dogs and cats. Her formal education includes a BA
in Hotel Management, three years of apprenticeship in hotels and 15 years of work
experience including self employment in the hotel business. Beate always loved to
paint, beginning as a child and inherited lots of this love from her grandfather, a
painter. She is painting since 1988, started self taught and attended several classes
in Germany and in Canada. Beate Epp developed her own particular, unique style with
vibrant and living colours. She is using colour for expression, if it is in acrylic,
oil, watercolour or mixed media. In some of her paintings she is combining watercolour
with pastels to achieve a special vibrancy. Her oils glow with the same pure and warm
colour combinations, coming very natural. The switch of media gives her the freedom to
express and to stay loose and flexible. Her use of colour and media gives her
paintings a special touch and makes the viewer feel the heart and soul in them. Beate's
works are in private collections in Canada, Germany, the US and Mexico. In January
2004, her "Free Spirited Women Series", received a special Award from the Saskatchewan
Arts Council. The 'Magical Horses', an exciting series, filled with colour and emotion,
inspired Beate to write a fairy tale story about them. The novel/art book is finished
and on its way to the publisher, including lots of her artwork to make this a special
treat for every art lover/collector, including this special, heartwarming story, with a
positive message for adults and children. |

From birth, self-taught artist Chantell Van Erbe was encircled in an extremely
artistic lifestyle and armed with a grand imagination. This advantage led her to create
at a very early age. Although it wasn't until 1995 on a chance visit to a New York
gallery displaying colored pencil drawings from the art deco period, that she truly
discovered her inspirational niche in the art field. Since then she has been working
professionally in colored pencils without any regrets. Her method is described as
"Fantasized Realism", essentially still- life themes with surrealistic undercurrents.
Winner of numerous awards, Chantell's paintings are in private collections and have
been on public display with many respected art organizations. Her work expands to the
Internet as well. She is listed in "Who's who in American Art" and "Who's Who of
American Women". She is a member of The Colored Pencil Society of America, The
Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Society and The Allied Artists of America. "Regardless
of the nature or subject, I find that my body of work has a slight metaphysical
eminence. Each theme is highly individual and indicative of whatever I am feeling at
the time. My views on art are vastly uncomplicated. I paint because my flair is
instinctive and I refuse to overanalyze any component of the art industry. I am a firm
believer that color expresses mood and base my skill on the old adage -The six
qualities that make a great work of art are: Originality, Imagination, Mystery, Beauty,
Composition, and Technique."

My paintings and drawings tend to either play on this cyclical, never ending time loop (Dancing Through Time and Evolution2), or the ludicrous behaviors of humans as they focus on everything that won't mean a darned thing after we leave this reality....like money and material things and power and greed (The Key to a Good Society and The Bureaucrat).
Sometimes it all becomes a bit overwhelming for me and I am sad (Blue Nude Crying) because I realize that as long as there is power and greed, we cannot evolve to our potentials as humans. I continue to explore the unconscious and to go where no woman has gone before while maintaining an acceptable level of sanity.

i idolize the cubists and the "action painters" - the cubists for realizing the
necessity for a distinctly human battleground - you can't compete with nature (you can't
erect a mountain range or cry an ocean) or technology - i can't paint a double exposure
or time lapse - i love the action painters for their reckless abandon - the sheer power
and scale - their love of the liquid - i try to combine color field abstraction (used as
a background) with cubist inspired images overlayed using stencils and sprayed enamel
creating a shadow line in search of an illusion of a three dimensional canvas - i enjoy
watching the occasional viewer approaching a piece hand outstretched feeling for the
edge...

Bjorn Eriksen is a mature artist, born in 1957. At the age of seven
he was fascinated by Picasso's Guernica, in which the spirit shaped
as a shaken and sad young person with a candle in his hand, together
with a terrified, wounded horse, sees how a brutal bull, symbolizing
the dominating oppressing powers of our time, has slain the future formed
as a child. As a result, the mother cries out her sorrow and anger to
the bull's face. The horse is Pegasus of the art and Eriksen has vanished
into it and he has never returned. Can you stand beside your time? Yes!
You can. You can be neutral. But then, how can you make anything but
decorative and abstract geometric art. There is enough of this. But
Eriksen has also sensed something: it is about holding on to the light
and not give up on reality - though it is tough. The man who has fought
the bull on the back of Pegasus is surely lying dead on the ground but
with a little flower in his hand. He succeeded in making his art. How
does Eriksen's flower look like? He paints in an expressive style that
makes a strong impact. It consists of lonely faces. No wonder. Yet they
deny to give up. Some hide behind masks. It is difficult to reveal yourself.
One is looking to the sky saying "I don't care". But that is not enough
for most of his faces.

My name is Angel Estevez, I was born in Spain and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I work in the field of education. I am an enthusiast of arts in general, being self-taught in digital art. I appreciate many art styles but my preferred one is the abstract. Having started my career doing digital art, currently I also do traditional painting. I hope that people who see my artworks share the same pleasant feelings that I had in creating them. |

I do collages because I can easily express myself more than speak.
My challenge is how I show my subconscious mind to everyone without moving or saying physically -
it's all about inside of me.
All works feature the element of surprise and unexpected juxtapositions-Working with
elements from the tradition of Surrealism-
And Old School hand-made collages augmented with drawing and painting techniques.-
The recurring motifs in work have to do with the psychological exploration of the relationships
between the ego (conscious mind), the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious

My art, is paying tribute to the contemporary Indian dancers who are
keeping the traditions of our ancestors alive.
I feel that the modern-day Pow Wow brings about important social interchange
between the nemah (We People) and di-eeh vohn (White People). As well as the exchange of culture, the camaraderie between different tribes helps to form a stronger bond and cohesive foundation for our children.
