Lidia Simeonova

myartspace id:lidiasimeonova

BIOGRAPHY:

I was born and grew up in Bulgaria, and earned a Masters of Fine Arts from Velico Tarnovo University of Fine Art. I have lived in Czechoslovakia and Germany and came to the United States in 1994. My paintings have been in many national and international shows, where I received recognition and numerous awards. Today my portfolio reflects a variety of mediums and style. My paintings from Bulgaria differ greatly from what I produced in Germany or America. I spent many years as an abstract artist, but the human figure has always persisted in the creative process. Now human expression and relationships are the leading thoughts when I take a brush or pencil. I am trying to create work in which life and painting blend in a perfect existential poem. I want to present the viewer with a harmonious, contemplative image, which speaks to the spiritual complexities of our existence. Being an artist is a life force, not a career choice.

Stacie Birky Greene

myartspace id:Stacieg

BIOGRAPHY:

Originally from Colorado, Stacie Birky Greene received degrees in Art and Art History from the University of Kentucky. She has also studied in Florence, Italy, and at the Chicago Art Institute. While painting was the focus of her training, she has explored her art in a wide variety of media, including performance, photography, and video. The central focus of Stacie's recent work has been to explore nature through a combination of materials and techniques. One often finds in her work a surprising interplay between light and material, as the use of wood, metal, and encaustics twists a subject's identity in favor of revealing a textural undercurrent. Sometimes she makes a similar statement by juxtaposing seemingly disparate images. In either case, the parallels she draws between subject and material forms a poetic that transcends media boundaries. Birky Greene lives in San Diego where she was a frequent exhibitor and her art is in public and private collections. She has taught art to children and adults for the last nine years

Iris Van Diessen

myartspace id:irismelissa

BIOGRAPHY:

My name is Iris, as in the Greek rainbow goddess, what a suitable name my parents gave me, little did they know..... Of all the colours in the rainbow,I think I must have used them all. Iris as in apple of your eye, eyes are indispensible for a painter. Strangely enough, my creatures are often lacking eyes or irisses. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to go blind. That fear is obviously present in the faces of the beings I paint. The same goes for my fascination with disfigurements and deformities. And disasters, both great and small, of which I've had my share through the years.

Fernando Paes

BIOGRAPHY:

Fernando Paes es un artista plástico brasileño que vive y trabaja en San Juan, Puerto Rico desde 1996. Actualmente se desempeña como Catedrático Auxiliar en el Departamento de Humanidades de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Cayey. Su obra plástica se centra mayormente en el medio de la pintura donde presenta un dialogo constante con el tiempo, la historia y los arquetipos modernos. Fernando nació en Brasilia, Brasil en 1967. Estudió arte en la Escuela de Artes Visuales de Parque Lage de 1987 hasta 1992. Sus principales profesores fueron Beatriz Milhazes, Daniel Senise, Milton Machado y Charles Watson. Formó parte del Núcleo de Aprofundamento de la Escuela en el año 1990. Se trataba de un núcleo de estudiantes que, durante un año, tenian que dedicarse exclusivamente a su obra en un taller colectivo dentro de la Escuela. Durante ese período recibió semanalmente críticas (privadas o abiertas) de seis profesores de la Escuela. Al finalizar el período, se organizó una exposición colectiva que reflejó el proceso creativo de cada integrante. En 1993 viaja a México para ingresar en la Academia de San Carlos en su programa de Maestría en Artes Visuales. Entra en contacto con la obra de varios artistas mexicanos y latinoamericanos entre ellos los de mayor influencia: el argentino Guillermo Kuitca, el puertorriqueño Arnaldo Roche y Julio Galán de México. El tema de la tesis de maestria da paso al concepto de la exposición individual en las Galerías de la Academia. La Antropofagia Cultural revisitada por una mirada contemporánea en la pintura. Ya en la isla de Puerto Rico en 1995, empieza a organizar su muestra titulada Navigare Necesse donde trabaja mucho de los conceptos de su tesis de maestría. La muestra se inaugura en 1997 en el Antiguo Arsenal de La Puntilla en el Viejo San Juan. En ese momento integra el cuerpo docente de la Escuela de Artes Plásticas de San Juan, en el Departamento de Pintura.

enrico camporese

BIOGRAPHY:

Enrico Camporese has worked in the field of visual communications since 1975. He is a photographer and graphic designer who has worked with a number of important Italian companies. In 1994, he began to paint again, producing DECOMPOSIZIONI and PICCOLI ABISSI, a series of canvases representing only fish. His painting, focused on color and synthesis, led him to new explorations in 1999, which resulted in formal research based on the optical perception of color. This led to MINIME PERCEZIONI, canvases influenced by artists such as Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt and Mark Rothko, though they interpret color fields in a different way. Enrico Camporese brings emotional impact to all of his works, as he seeks to give a dynamic three-dimensional perception to his painting.

BIOGRAPHY:

Lauren Miller was raised in a suburban town that pretended to be liberal but was secretly yearning for the extermination of all artists. In order to overcome this, she refused to be a cheerleader & headed off to New York City for college, where she studied philosophy & later switched to creative writing. She is still writing and is wondering if she should go back to school to officially study art, or if this means she's a sellout. Thank you for taking the time to look at this gallery. It will bring you good karma.

Stephen D'Amato

myartspace id:spdamato

BIOGRAPHY:

I grew up in Pompton Plains, NJ, in which I considered an "all American type town". I'm not exactly sure what that means, but looking back it felt like some version of a 1960's Mayberry RFD, but on a larger scale. At age nine my father took a career transfer that moved us to Sydney, Australia and later to Illinois, before returning to New Jersey. During that time we were able to travel to some interesting areas of the world. Some of my fondest memories as a child were our summer family trips to the Jersey shore. I still love to draw and paint around coastal areas and I find the scenery and the air rejuvenating. My interests in art started at a very young age, with imaginative drawings, usually involving people and sometimes my family. I later became more involved with music, playing keyboards with various local rock bands. In my twenties, discovered that I had a deeper commitment to my artwork and pursued that more seriously. After studying art at various universities, decided I wanted to get more of an education from those who taught the figurative tradition. I sought out instructors at the Art Students League that include: Harvey Dinnerstein, Sharon Sprung and Costa Vavagiakis. I also assisted Michael Burban for two years in his daily drawing and anatomy classes at the Art Students League of New York. In the past years I have worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. Recently received Merit Scholarship at the Art Students League.

Genuine do-it-yourselfers become involved in all kinds of neat and sloppy endeavors, which could explain how I became, amongst other things, a computer programmer, furniture designer, house and piano rebuilder, businessman and website designer. I've also been a salesman, handyman, soldier and tennis pro, but tend to think of myself simply as one who enjoys and loves to create music and art. See my website for more info.

BIOGRAPHY:

My mom has always been a photographer, and i've been interested in art since i was a child- mostly working with soft pencil. My senior year in High School i took a class in photography. Thats when i found appreciation for Black &White. Im still interested in expanding to paint but i have yet to gain the talent. All photos were taken in Europe in 2004/5, while i was living in Spain for a year. They were taken with a 5MP sony cybershot DSC-1. Some of them were retouched and refined in Photoshop. However i try to keep as much of the natural pic intact rather than change what was actually there. I've never sold any pictures, had them publicly displayed or had any serious criticism. I would appreciate all comments and suggestions. Thanx!

Jenni Higginbotham

myartspace id:higginj

BIOGRAPHY:

I will begin my second year as a Master of Fine Arts painting student this August at New Mexico State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2005. In my work I use expressive and dense mark making to evoke the rich psychological environments of children. I manipulate family snapshots taken of children to create my compositions. The mood and psychological workings of individual children are the subject matter. The children in the images experience emotion deeply but lack the intellectual development to separate from their solipsistic understanding of the world. Both the environment and figure are rendered expressively in charcoal or paint, constructing a tangible world inseparable from the imagination and mood of its subject. I portray playtime by literally depicting the imaginary actions of toys. The world of imagination thus finds itself on the same plane of existence as the mundane. The snapshots I work from could be found in any family photo album, but the way in which the scene is rendered evokes something of a place outside physical reality. By referencing the familiar, I want the viewer to be reminded of their own childhood as they think about new generations of children. The general composition is chosen by an adult, but the imaginative rendering of the space creates a dreamlike mood atypical of snapshots. The images ultimately depict private imaginative moments of children to be witnessed by the estranged adult eye.

" All in a picture, which I write, should work - clothes, background, colours, technical receptions, stain, a composition - all glancing more deeply and to open more more than secrets! If something even is simply neutral - I remove without pity! For me the man not a scale figure among skyscrapers or colour effective stain on a green grass, the man for me is the centre of the universe! " I love to read, is especial a fantasy and to do to itself marks - when draw one figure, in a head ripens final outlines and highlight for the following. Time, certainly, leaves not a little, and forces am even more - simply I love to get used to the story and to sit on details of figure, to achieve the maximal expressiveness, to create something original or in other words " a PORTRAIT of the STORY ". I finish each figure up to a high degree of completeness, even colours and colour I think over - any figure, at continuation of work, can become the completed picturesque product or cover of the book. Was born in the city of Kishinev, Moldova.

BIOGRAPHY:

Crystal Smith, a.k.a. Crystal Starr has been drawing since the day she could hold a pencil. Crystal’s earliest influence was her grandmother who expressed her own passion through drawing birds and horses, impressing upon Crystal the beauty of art. When she was five she remembers announcing to the family that, “when I grow up, I’m going to be an artist.” The response she received was a familiar one to many artists; she was told that “Artists Starve!” Despite her family’s response she had a dream, and she was going for it. Throughout her school years teachers noticed the talent and passion, displaying her art on classroom walls, and consistently encouraging her to develop her talents. Chronic mental illness, as well as other struggles dulled Crystals will to draw, so at the young age of seventeen she gave it up. Instead, she started a family, and became consumed with the responsibilities of life. It wasn’t until she to Austin, TX two years ago that she picked up the pencils again. Austin’s creative community and the people she was meeting inspired her to re-awaken her lost passion. Since then she has been drawing family, friends, and those beautiful people she meets, though everyone is beautiful she says. She enjoys drawing the human face the most, believing there is something mystical in illuminating every line, crinkle, and emotion expressed in the human eyes. Along with a short interview you can find her on the cover of the October issue of Study Breaks, a magazine published for UT students. She has been chosen for their, Express Yourself Austin’s Top Artist contest (http://studybreaks.com/). She has also recently worked on various commission pieces for people throughout the Austin area. Recent move back to Seattle WA she is now taking on new commissions and seeking out new places to show. You can view more of her art at http://crystalstarr.deviantart.com/.

John Monteith

myartspace id:jcm10

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in 1973 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada I began my formal education studying at the Ontario College of Art and Design graduating in 1997 with a diploma in drawing and painting. During my undergraduate studies, I spent a semester at Art Center in Pasadena California studying photography and a year in Florence, Italy studying the paintings of the Renaissance Masters. Upon graduating, I spent a year and a half in London, England immersing myself in contemporary art of the new generation of British Artists. While in London I maintained a studio and began to produce paintings exploring themes of impermanence and identity. Returning from London in 1999, I began showing in group exhibitions in Toronto, Canada, while developing a body of work in preparation for my first major solo show in 2002 at the Burston Gallery within the recently established Queen St West contemporary gallery district. I n 2004, I spent two months traveling through Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo researching the traditional and post WW II art, architecture and culture of Japan. This work has greatly influenced my current production through the exploration of Buddhist notions of time as experienced within the temporal philosophies of On Kawara, the spatial relationships of traditional Japanese print and Nihonga painting, as well as the philosophy of the “Super Flat” as introduced by Takashi Murakami. During my time in Japan, I began to reconsider notions of human relationships towards architectural environment and the nature in which these spaces mediate our interpersonal and emotional interactions. During the summer after my return from Japan, I continued to maintain a rigorous studio practice, creating two solo exhibitions in 2004 and 2006, both exhibited at XEXE Gallery in Toronto. In that time I also contributed to a large number of group exhibitions including a survey exhibition of the new generation of Winnipeg and Toronto Artists at Gallery Neubacher. In November 2005 I presented a collaborative installation with Bruno Billio, resident sculptor of the Gladstone Hotel and Christopher House, celebrated director and choreographer of the Toronto Dance Theatre for the Toronto Alternative Art fair international (TAAFI) at the Gladstone Hotel. This collaboration explored the theme of home becoming both refuge and stage through the physical, real-time presence of three individuals occupying a small apartment related to each other through a shared experience of connected isolation and supernatural presence. Presently I'm attending Parsons the New School for Design in New York completing my MFA. Since my arrival in New York I have been asked to participate in a number of important fund raising auctions as well as a group exhibition of New York artists working with themes of architecture to be exhibited att the University of Massachusetts, Amhurst in February 2008.

BIOGRAPHY:

I wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. On recalling my childhood it seems I was always drawing and painting. At the age of 11 I was allowed to paint a mural on our bathroom wall of a big lady wearing a red swimsuit dancing along a beach. In 1986 I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a degree in graphic design and worked for a number of years there as a graphic designer and illustrator before returning to Edinburgh to start a family. I have had various jobs and now work night-shift part time which allows me to paint avidly every day. I like to draw on my imagination and find much of my inspiration for paintings in the humour, sadness, love and quirkiness observed in everyday life.
