Ingrid Schmelter aka kaslkaos Canada Kaslkaos Art & Design
Fine art and fabric artist, painting myth, magic and nature motifs. Graduate of the Ontario College of Art where I studied photography, print-making and figure drawing.
With my art, I share my vision of the world, an interpretation that cannot be captured by the camera. I use a variety of media as my vehicles; rules are self limiting, however, I have a great affinity for coloured pencils, for their bold lines and brilliant colours. The natural world, from which all life flows is my inspiration. My greatest goal in art is to illuminate

norma Greenwood United States fine art portfolios
My bed paintings suggest mystery: a world of soft focus-smoke and mirrors. While the space that exists in memory and imagination, the paintings are also metaphors for the body. The paintings are minimalist in the sense of the figure being an ephemeral reference. The folds, crinkles and creases of a rumpled bed are mysterious and evoke an unseen presence. The forms are erotic and sensual- they are personal landscapes.

Greet Dijkstra Netherlands Greet Dijkstra - Painter
The artist was first introduced to brush and canvas when she studied art history and drawing.

Under the guidance of her tutor - Groningen born and bred artist Wiebren Arema - she quickly developed her own distinctive style. Simplicity as well as complexity characterise her work, which shows interplay of lines and contrasting colours.

By sometimes omitting normal perspective, the viewer is encouraged to let his/her fantasy and appetite for abstraction run free.

Greet Dijkstra lives and works in Appingedam (The Netherlands), a stone's throw from its famous "Hanging Kitchens" over the Damsterdiep Canal. Her work reflects both her environment as well as her colourful fantasy.

Victoria Selbach Artist Statement

I am captivated and drawn to faces. The glow and spirit that comes from within. The character and dimension beneath the surface. The slight movement that conveys emotion, foretells thought or surrenders to feelings and eruptions of joy. The point where muscle tension moves subtly, catches the light and initiates the gesture.

To capture this on larger than life canvases feels to me as an intimate and sensual merging of empathy and paint.

The structure of my paintings usually begin with close up, graphic compositions that offer strong and simple architecture between the softness of the human form and the angular composition of background and negative space.

The subject and canvas is then flooded with light, from a strong source, creating sculptural effects and dramatic contrast. As light plays on the surface of the body I am particularly fascinated where light collides with shadow and recedes into darkness.

I paint with a sensitivity tuned to subtle emotion. As I paint I can feel the sparkle in the eye and the invisible tension held under the skin to create the curl of the lip or the almost imperceptible rise of an eyebrow.

Using layers of sheer acrylic I attempt to structure the paint to evoke the luminosity and transparency of the skin as if the light permeates the tone and structure of the body itself.

Capturing these transitions and impulses ignites an intimate expression unique to one individual’s personal essence and emotes shared sensations that cross all ages, times and human experiences. The end result is at once highly personal yet glimmers of a shared universal experience.
Peter Seelig Austria Peter Seelig
Peter Seelig was born in 1948 in Vienna, where he lives and works today.
Blind drawings created during dance and theater performances offer the basis for the artistic experiments of Peter Seelig. Drawing is the basis for the expressive forms of painting that Peter Seeling feels. Here the composition of the subjective drawingover of Bodies in movement, unfold. The drawing is present in the form of a repeating frame work of lines in the paintings and serves as the separation of the expanses of colour or developes freely.

Deborah Landers Canada Fine Art Original Paintings By Deborah Landers - Fine Artist of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
A little about me...I was born in Digby, Nova Scotia but now I make New Brunswick my home. The natural beauty of each province is part of what inspires me and I love to take advantage of these amazing opportunities. I am mainly a self-taught artist but have taken workshops in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. My mediums of choice are acrylics and oils. Included in my work are landscapes, seascapes, stills, abstracts as well as modern and realism - most of which are created from photographs that I have taken.

Stefan Albani United States Art Is Everywhere
No Picture
Life as a sketch was born out of appreciation of a generalizing term, art. Almost anyone can claim that what they do, enjoy or perceive is an art. While many outside this community see this as somehow tainting what culture has passed down to us, I can’t help but be amazed by it. Instead of trying to find reasons to weed out potential contaminates, I’ve aimed to collect them.

I hope to share with the world my interpretation of Art in everyday life. This collection is to the little things that make us laugh, smile, or cry. Its to the nooks and crannies found nestled in the cracks of the beaten path. Its to the sounds and tastes that cannot be captured. This collection is to the artists that will never be seen or heard but who will never fail to remind us of the beauty of imagining.

As you look through the images, paintings, films, and sounds amassed in these pages, I hope you are inspired. And if you are, I hope you return
Lisa Kretchman United States Realistic and narrative pastels, acrylics, and mixed-media
Lisa is a multidisciplinary artist and animator. Working with soft pastels, acrylic and mixed-media, she explores views of the beauty of the natural world as well as personal journeys into narrative art and symbolism.

Organic shapes and vibrant color are often reflected in Lisa's work. Starting with strong simple shapes, texture and detail are layered into each piece. As the painting evolves, the goal is to evoke a mood, often based on a key term or ideal, sometimes incorporating narrative or sybolism. Lisa will also experiment with unexpected materials - torn edges and text may be used in a piece to contrast with the soft texture of the pastel.

When she is not painting, Lisa develops Flash animation and interactivity for her company Pixel-Artistry.
