Swiss mountains “Eiger, Mönche and Jungfrau”
Artwork by Claudia Lüthi I am a Swiss artist. I love to paint oil on canvas and velvet. My preferred subjects are Landscapes, cityscapes and Animals. I reach my goal when I paint and the people who look at my paintings just look at it and forget time. So this painting of the Swiss mountains invite you to go for…
It’s Time
Artwork by Jason Cox
I’ve been drawing on and off for so many year’s I can’t recall but have never learned how to “learn drawing”. That is until I taught myself the guitar and finally understood what it truly takes to learn and perfect an artistic skill…
A. DUMAS

Hello,
I am a boy of 57 years, Italian, from Gaeta (central Italy).
As a child I was self-taught and cultivated my passion for art, in all its forms. Painting (oil and acrylic on canvas), drawing (pen, pencil, charcoal), pastel … especially love the caricature.

You cannot reach genuine masterpiece without basics
Artwork by Anastasia Vasilyeva
In me there was always the desire to draw. I attended art school in childhood, but I was bored to draw still lifes with plastic apples and crushed colored fabrics, especially when nobody really explained what it was for. Under the circumstances my parents had to move to another city, and I did not continue art school. Now I am quite happy about this fact, because I may have avoided the wrong way of learning the basics…
Innocence at its best
Artwork by Mahlet Gebre
My name is Mahlet Birhanu Gebre, I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Growing up, I was blessed with a caring family. My late father, Birhanu Gebre, was a professional painter and he has especially encouraged me to explore art after observing my talent in drawing at an early age. As a child, I grew up surrounded by art materials and I believe it’s this early exposure that has facilitated my interest to be engaged in arts soon…
The accident of my future
Artwork by Dave Luckett
I am a no one. A nobody. In the late 80s my life was dealt some hard turns. As a result to that I dropped out of school. I was an artist and although I began to sell work even fresh out of school. I had to abandon my art to feed myself working odd jobs with hard manual labor.
After decades of neglect to my hands, my ability to draw was beginning to run away from me. My hands were meant for art. Not for hammers and chisels. So after a short while my hands would force me into truck driving…
Sleeping Madeleine
Artwork by Pina Kollars
I am a composer, lecturer and aspiring art teacher currently living in Vienna.
More than anything, I love the study of the human body.
I’ve recently discovered pastels and have made a drawing of my sleeping daughter. She is eight years old and it is usually next to impossible to make her sit still to capture the beauty of innocence, which is part of the essence of childhood. So I took the opportunity to depict Madeleine during a majestic sleep…
Time Out
Artwork by Chris Goldberg
As a 17 year old I chose between art and nursing school, I let my head rule my heart and went to nursing school. A career I followed for 25 years before leaving to work in graphic design in our family business where I am still working.
4 years ago my Mother passed away which reminded me ( with a jolt) of my own mortality and I resolved to get back into art again.
I began by doing classes at local art centres whenever I could…
