The expressions in the work come from the
subconscious, the heart space and from
within, rather than from a plan to create a
specific image. Using movement, meditation
and healing sounds as a prompt to begin the
paintings, the artwork expresses the connec-
tion to the Divine Feminine and Mothering
Peace. Through many layers of multiple me-
dia, writing in graphite, hand-woven fibers,
painting and transfer images, I am revisiting
my spiritual journey as an artist using creative
expressions.

painting, which is always looking for
different paths and personal, which
reveal important topics such as the
great themes of modernity, nature

A Venise

2012

“In her Brussels Studio, that artist loves
to mix China ink and waters colours,
feather and brush in concert. In that
technique error does not forgive, the
indelible stroke becomes a challenge
that she finds amusing. In her peaceful
gardens, she affirms her fantasy, in rep-
resenting strange personages, often
insects that she acts like actors on the
stage. The wood, the trees, the leaves
become the decor and the curtains”.

“The watercolours are worked in
a non-conformist way, often with
five or six layers, very meticulous
work. In tone splashes of colour
the artist juggles with the strokes
of the feather, with rhythm, move-
ments, and dynamism. Transport-
ed by the delicacy of the stroke,
the insect himself becomes a co-
median or a minstrel. And finally
this strange world takes us to re-
spect the differences. In feat, it
means respect of the other, Love
of Live, in all shapes and form”.

He follows his emotions, exploring original lan-
guages to become spokesman for the com-
plex of today’s man feelings. Not infrequent-
ly the reality itself enters into his paintings,
through elements that the painter collects over
time and in different moments of his life. They
become part of his work, interfacing with a
painting technique always strongly expressive,
airline tickets and bus tickets, newspaper clip-
pings and pieces of posters, papers and writ-

trips in different countries world and put them
in his artworks. He collects pieces of life, which
he then transform into a paint. Signs that art

Cannon’s current work revolves around his ongoing narrative project called Single-
ton’s Epic. Cannon creates characters, bodies and systems within his other world
which interact and live within a strange psychological economy or ecosystem. The
central character of the narrative are the singletons, strange human like figures who
loaf around the environment focused mainly on hedonistic pleasures.
Currently Cannon is attending a Student
Scholarship Residency at Malaspina Print-
makers in Vancouver. His Newest work is
in various states of completion which is
tracked on his website and blog. Themati-
cally the newest images orient around im-
aging states of the Singletons, enmeshed
within their machine world as productive
cogs, complicit, victims and rowdy fools.

The artistic activities, paint-

my soul. I cannot live without
these artistic activities which
share my thoughts with oth-
ers people. With these wings,
I do not see the human fron-
tiers which are the fears of the
human’s ego. The freedom
is the acceptation of others
thoughts which create the
only wealth of the human
when you share them. With
this richness, the Human has
not harms but the joy to live in
an human environment.

“Marian Sava” makes the stone sing”

He received his artistic education at the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Bruxelles.
When looking at his works, one word comes
to mind ‘Emotion’, because one experienc-
es a great pleasure, produced by the crea-
tive impulses of the artist, which are marked
by the seal of extreme sensitivity. Marian
Sava approaches the abstract art in his very
nuanced manner, without ever falling on
the side of pure and hard abstraction. He
passes smoothly, from the strict image of a
subject to the creation of new unexpected
forms (...)

Why Artists Should Be Paid for
Their Artwork?

“Artists shouldn’t be paid for their art.
Getting paid prevents them from cre-
ating really good stuff.” - I read some-
where online.

I want to make three points about Art,
Contribution and Money with this article:
Your art is a contribution to society.
It brings joy, it solves problems, and it
makes this world a better place.

Being paid allows you to make that con-
tribution to society.

Your contribution expands in relation to the amount of time you put into it. More
hours means expanded contribution to this world with your God-given talent.

“Artists are better off working a job they hate and then painting in their spare time.”
This is the problem I have with that:

No one should work a job they hate. You were put on this earth with talents and you
are meant to do that which you are good at and what you love! The world is missing
out on your contribution. The less an artist creates, the less they grow. It requires hours
upon hours to hone your craft.

Charging for your artwork enables you to make a contribution to the world with your
art. It allows you to develop your style and to get better and better at what you do.
As long as we are stuck in a money based system, I find it an outright insult to all hard-
working artists to say they shouldn’t be paid for what they do. It’s just a crazy notion
that this one, single profession should work for free! (While everyone else gets paid.)

David Crittin’s work is the
expression of a contem-
plation. The composition of
landscape in circle unfolds
the mystery of the World:
no beginning, no end; no
quantifiable space, there-
fore, no time. It brings us
back to fundamental ex-
istentialist questions, be-
tween finiteness and infini-
ty. The circular landscapes
are built after the classical
plan of an architecture of
the spirit, with a progressive
densification of the sacred,
of which the archetype in
our culture would be Solo-
mon’s Temple: outside–en-
closure–sanctuary-Holy of
holies.

In the pictorial field, we note the
Mandalas, sacred images used
in the East to induce a deeper
degree of knowledge through a
reading going from the periphery
to the center. This is precisely one
way to read these images. Start-
ing from the periphery, the ob-
server can contemplate the unity
of the World, which is a reflection
of his own unity. Subsequently, he
is brought to the center where
it seems to be nothing left. Na-
ture, space and time have disap-
peared. But the observer remains,
facing himself: a consciousness
beyond this World of shapes and
definitions.

Fu Wenjun, Chinese impor-
tant conceptual photogra-
phy artist, talks about histo-
ry of art; it’s not a means,
but the main goal. He
therefore analyses some
aspects which are meant
to express a timeless con-
cept. In this way, the ex-
pression of every artwork
becomes a thesis with no
possibility of anti-thesis, full
of proofs which we find
again many times in histo-
ry, western and oriental, to
remember that history is re-
peating itself and that the
mankind as a whole has
similarities beyond geo-cul-
tural position.

The original picture was a
view of the garden of the
castle of Sceaux situated in
the south suburb of Paris.

What Bernard searches most in his artistic expression is to create an image worked in

a modern style, rather surrealist; an artwork which provokes, by the symphony of its

colors and the originality of its composition, strong emotions as a sign of successful

communion with the visitor. His works are based exclusively on computer processed

digital photography.

Printing is on various sup-

ports such as fine art pa-

per, laminated wood,

plastic, aluminum or can-

vas.

Bernard Sabri explores pho-
tography by modern tech-
niques in order to make “you”
share his emotions of the uni-
verse of Digital-Art; where the
Virtual and the Real merge;
through works expressing his
profound sensitivity to this new
form of Contemporary Art. The
happy marriage of photogra-
phy and informatics, which
gave birth to “Digital-Photogra-
phy” and thus opened a new
era of “Digital-Art”, allowed
Bernard to get out of the initial
frame of traditional photogra-
phy to enjoy the freedom of
digital art, an art representing
well our “High-Tech” Epoch. He
uses the virtual brushes of to-
day’s digital tools to create a
modern work of art.

Creator Peter “Snopix” Higgins had no idea
when he set off on his creative journey in 1976
that it would turn into a life time addiction/
adventure. For him it was a positive way to
use the spare time he had then, rather than
just fritter it away doing nothing.

So now in 2015 as he comes up to celebrate
almost 40 years of creating. He has been hon-
oured to receive the Sandro Botticelli prize
for the original stylistic search. Something he
could have never dreamed of when he pur-
chased his first pencils and drawing pad in
Amsterdam, all that time ago.

pumped into my vein. Addict-

describe as, the ultimate ad-

mind. Even now after almost 4
decades of creating my own
original images, I still get the
same buzz. Through drawing,
painting, photography, Photo-

it was reserved by artists for the most revered subjects such as robes of
Madonna and Christ.
