Kuba Fiedorowicz

Artist Statement

All that exists is energy vibrating at a particular frequency. People who create, can work with different energies channeling them through the mediums of painting, music, poetry or other areas to ground these ideas into tangible physical reality. Creators are like radios tuned into different stations, playing the song of themselves, the world and the beyond. Colours are frequencies so paintings are like songs, tiny snippets of the one, the song of Mother/Father God which vibrates throughout eternity.

I’ve chosen to use art, poetry, and to a lesser extent music, to somehow convey what that feeling of eternity is like. It seems like an impossible task, but i’ve decided to devote my life to it. Art for me is a calling, my thank-you song to the Creator for everything i’ve been given.

Adam James Davis

About the Artist

Adam J. Davis is an artist based in Nottinghamshire, England. He works with the audible, visual and literary mediums, although he likes to see no distinction between these disciplines, as well as between others. No music, no poetry… just the subjective and the objective, where there is beauty in both (a “meta-subjective” opinion, though!). He is inspired by the idea that there is harmony and rhythm in everything, be it physical or abstract, and that true, pure chaos, disharmony and arrhythmia may be an impossibility (so far in this universe, at least). He also believes that we should strive culturally, technologically and physically towards states and existences of perpetual energy, perpetual harmony, and perpetual bliss, where such phenomena increase exponentially within and around us, without removing them from somewhere else, and that we exist and live because of harmony… the intersection and interference of elements and energies; intersection is harmony. Adam has left the chauvinistic association of harmony and rhythm with music behind, and are essential elements in all of his work… sonic and extra-sonic.

Dan Bunea

Artist Statement

I want my painting to be full of life, full of vibrant colors, of movement, of emotion, and to have an impact on its watcher. I want it to dominate, to excite, to energize. I want the watcher to enjoy it, and to be able to develop and emotional binding with it, to break into an colorful universe. I want it to offer hope.

Nad Wolinska

Artist Statement

My paintings reveal an energy vision that transcends feelings, emotions, ideas and symbols. It reduces all in terms of their energy screen, their pure light, their vibration, waves, radiations and networks of exchanges. All things are connected between them in an energy network in perpetual movement in spite of an apparent fixity.

I approach the painting process in a nonlinear way – through intuition.

Challenging myself with subjects for which I have no intellectual knowledge, forces me to rely on intuition or “Intuitive Knowledge.” I begin a painting as a “whim”, which allows me to begin my journey into the unknown and search infinity. The acceptance of my own ignorance, opens the door to the path of Knowledge.

My work continues to evolve as it moves forward without regard for trends. I sit in front of the unknown, willing to face Eternity. I paint what I do not know, as a way of discovery.

Miguel Tió

Artist Statement

I was introduced to the spiritual life during my childhood by my mother. She knew that I was going to need information that would explain things that were happening to me. She gave me many books that opened a whole new fascinating world, books that helped me lose my fear “to hear” and “to see” by understanding spiritual phenomena. I embraced mystical power, images and messages in later years. Indeed, they have become an integral part of my artistic career.

Some of my works explore themes ranging from traditional religious dogma and prejudice to the instinctive and emotive nature of human sexuality. Though these two subjects are traditionally represented as being poles apart, I aim to demystify the prejudices and preconceptions which divide them, and instead, connect them through a contemporary interpretation that is rational, thoughtful and honest, as well as spiritual and sacred. This interpretation is never intended to be controversial or offensive, but rather, conciliatory and revealing.

Each painting conveys a personal method of communicating and expressing silent words within my interior world. Each color, tint and shade stems from a complex spectrum of thoughts, perspectives and narratives. Both high contrasts of light and shadow are indispensable when conveying the drama and complexities of the human body and spirit.

I believe in the new man of the new era. There is a transformation from the old beliefs into new ones. Art helps produce those transformations by touching the soul of the observer and leaving a seed that will germinate in the future.

Olga Spiegel

Artist Statement

Paintings are poetic apparitions where the world is the kindling consuming fire for the soul. I paint images as if they exist in front of my eyes, dreaming up forms and entire environments, a mysterious dreamland where shapes have no name and space has no reason, liberated from everyday imprinting, floating in a realm of pure imagination. Petrification and decomposition of matter is part of the pictorial search, a penetration on the cellular level extracting a meaning that infuses all things.

Satoshi Sakamoto

Artist Statement

I grew up in northeastern Japan. I feel that the culture here is unsophisticated and alive with the natural beauty of the land. It steers me to the ancient primitive memories embedded in my mind. I seldom draw humans. My paintings suggest the experience of facing nature and then our bodies feel like transforming into other surrounding lives.

I set out to create a phenomenon on the canvases with mainly primary colors. First of all I try to maximize the meaning of red fully in anger and mercy. I think that red cautions us against the sacrilege of human ego disregarding nature. Once I thought about the meaning of the red shrines. I imagined that red was necessary to bring out the karma between humans and nature. I think it is also a contrast between our red blood and the green forest, or internal nature and external nature. It is a reversible relationship through struggle and harmony.

Impressionistic art style which I began to study and named it Sur-naturalism, is based on the growing movement of nature, or pure shapes and colors beyond every prejudice of human society. Beyond the psychic symbols,the form itself is a creative process or intuitional substance that all people of the world can share its sense without regard for their language. Sur-naturalism might be regarded as the conservative reformism which connotes succession from the 20th century. Also,it is close to the ancient design and the recollection of the Renaissance.

I think my paintings have the potential to expand to three dimensions kind of like architecture. The pictures you can see in my profile are a beginning of the excavation for the unknown. I will report discoveries from now on.

Shahla Rosa

Artist Statement

In my paintings, each character is the being that projects the greatest shadow or the greatest light into my dreams, or is the love as a means of creation and a source of revelation.

I try to release my desire into the world in an image of every personality’s beauty both ethereal and fragmentary. I believe both scientist and artist arrive at the same understanding of the unconscious. I always find my way to surrealism through personal, often romantic connection with my imaginary members of a group. It’s kind of freedom. The surrealist cause, in art as in life, is the cause of freedom itself.

I would not wait for the world to be revealed to me such as passive compliant, yet my female principle always governing my creation. My description of a social organization based on the principles of equality, respect for existence life and with the power of love I make alternate to the deeply entrench patriarchal social and political order that had shaped the surrealist revolt. That’s why my role as a creator in my own right can be sought in my work as well as in my social life.
There is a dreamy, hallucinatory quality to the imagination, but the overwhelming impression is one of nature animates by Eros.

Equally fascinated by the process through which I conceptualize this imaginary journey into the labyrinth of the sea, surrounding the unconscious with a watery bath, capable of giving birth to works of art rather than to goddesses of love. For me, it works always its way into painting and poetry.

Biography

I loved art from early childhood. My father was an amateur painter, and tried to transfer his gift to me. I was awarded many times with several national prizes in my teenage years, and this recognition inspired me to pursue painting as a career despite family opposition.

I moved to Europe where I could explore art further and paint in the manner I wished. I studied Art at the Kunst Academy, Dusseldorf, Germany, and then at the Instituto Europeo in Florence as well as in Southern California. While in Europe and the United States of America, my work was displayed in several successful exhibitions and appeared in catalogs, newspapers and books. I like bringing fantasy to life through many media, but painting is my true love and where I best express my inner vision.

Ken D. Matheson

Artist Statement

Within my work I tend to think of creating a meeting place, a bridge in space-time that blends the past and the future and is expressed into the present. They are like vessels that house lines of connection to the mysteries of our past, the understanding of who we are now, and to the wonder of what we will become tomorrow.
