 | Matthew BatesBeing an American artist who lives in Firenze, Italy, I have had a complete life change which effected my style as a painter. Once upon a time I painted abstract watercolors, now I work in Oils and almost always in the style of realism. Firenze can do that to a man. Here there is so much beauty and I just want to capture as much as I can on my canvases. |

Robert Walker"Apart from a few books I've read, I'm self-taught. I've been drawing since I was a kid, but only took up painting when I discovered the versatility of acrylics, and now I use nothing else. I guess artists all paint what has made the greatest impact on them. I'm no angry young man, shouting humanity's failings from the rooftops; these have already been analysed to death. Instead, I prefer to concentrate on humanity's spiritual potential, drawing on my experience with music, the English countryside, and spiritualism, to create a world where people can live, advance and be at one with the universe, free from the demands and dogmas of the material world. Adolescent escapism? No, this particular vision can be as real as you want it to be." |

Kho SanteI live in Bologna, Italy and I paint from 1994, when I was 20 year old. My artistic style is a middle way between abstract and geometric art. Form 2005 I started e-commerce, and so everyone can buy and order my art. This is a little help for everyone to have my art for a low cost too. |
