| Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti, painter. Rumania |
 |
 |
 |
Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti (born in 1961) is a representative painter for the evolution of the Romanian fine arts of the last quarter of century.
At first, placed under the sign of the figuration, his painting suffered the specific shifting of the present day art towards non-figuratism, to a sui generis geometrism. It’s not the matter of a shallow geometrism, but a fanciful one, bathed in spectacular chromatic reverberations. But beyond the idea of figurative or non-figurative, his painting is characterized by an out of common feeling for color and an exacerbated sensibility which distinguishes him from the other artists.
Even if in his painting there is a temptation towards a certain decorum, the chromatic solution with its richness of groups, bold juxtapositions and unusual contrasts, now striking, now silent – is the one which dominates.
For Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti, the color is the correspondent of his mood; it is an ultra sensitive seismograph which readily answers his mood – sometimes euphoric, sometimes melancholic. |

| Lotta Engström Lodin, glass-ceramic artist. Sweden |
 |
 |
 |
| Lotta is an artist with Glass as her foremost material. In her experimental way to work, glass has become the material who suits her best in her search after the artistic expression. Her hope is that her art will effect people in one or another way. Maybe it wakes up some questions for the observer, a reflection or it may wakes up feelings? A feeling, a thought- is the starting point for her work. |

| Lidija Ivanek-SiLa, painter. Croatia |
 |
 |
 |
I was born in Zagreb, Croatia. I finished the University of Veterinary Medicine and for 13 years worked as a DVM. I am Christ oriented and by His guidance I started to paint. In 2007 art becomes my only profession. My artworks are made with acrylics on different mediums and I photograph, too. Lately I have been experimenting with egg tempera and pigments or pastels.
Abstraction is my way of expression. I use strong colors, wide brushes or palette knifes and fingers. Often I used a lot of red and black. I love to mix colors directly on the canvas. My horses have become a figure that people recognize as mine. My artworks are expressions of all the events that affect me daily, and are a response of my soul to that, whether they are praises or prayers to God.
My artistic signature is SiLa and I use it to sign all of my paintings as a gratitude to God and my husband Sinisa, who shares with me good and bad times. |

I´m a watercolour painter living in Brantevik, Sweden.
What makes the watercolour-technic so interesting for me?
The answeer is: that it is so difficult! You need a plan. How do you catch the light? How can you master the process? The unexpected is allways present, witch is thrilling, but you need control. You need to know when, and why, how the paper behave, how the colours behave (different colours have different behaviours!), how much water you need(timing!), how dry it has to be before you continue(timing again!) and - perhaps the most important thing of all - you need to know when your painting is ready.... and stop. Somebody has said that a painting is ready just before it is spoiled - and that´s true! Education: Several courses with teachers as Göran Rücker, Hasse Karlsson, Arne Isacsson, Lars Holm and Morten Paulsen.
Member of: The Nordic Watercolour Society and The Swedish Artist Association

This is my second show in Denmark. Hoping to get more support from the Danish audience. |

Konsten har varit en del av mitt liv så länge jag kan minnas. Det var därför självklart att börja estetiska gymnasie skolan C4 i Kristianstad som jag gick ut 1998.
Men det var inte förrän våren 2003 jag började Önnestads folkhögskola med även där estetisk inriktning. Detta var en utbildning på endast en termin så jag började direkt efter denna på Kristianstads konstskola, som jag avslutade i maj 2005. Jag medverkar även i illustratörsboken SWEILL.
Har länge varit intresserad av 1700-tals målningar och har i det senare lagt mer koncentration på det. |

Varför tjurar? Liksom tjuren Ferdinand är tjurfäktning ingenting för mig. Har försökt att förstå detta skådespel, läst böcker, varit på tjurfäktning, men detta förstärkte bara min inställning, om detta tycker jag INTE.
Därför har mina tjurar guldhorn, 24 karats bladguld. Man arbetar först med en limgrund som skall verka i 12 tim innan arbetet med bladguldet kan börja, och DÅ gäller det att hålla andan, anars flyger de lövtunna bladen likt en fjärils vingar, har hänt och detta är ..............
Hästar liksom ballerinor och musikbilder finns också i mitt skapande |

"Jag arbetar i teknikerna olja, akryl samt collage. Den koloristiska känslan är alltid starkt närvarande in i den abstrakta världen.
Mitt liv som konstnär har varit och är en ständig nyfikenhet att gå framåt i mitt skapande. Att se vad färger och former som föds inom mig kan få för uttryck. Att inte fastna, utan att vara fri!" |
