This interest was rultiated throughout his srhool years and further deieloped when he rereiied his bsarhelors degree in fne art.

He prefers studio paintng as it allows for him to forus on pieres that are iibsrant and rolourful bsut also ralming, allowing the iiewer to plare themselies within the srene.

"A Road Less Traveled", Joe A. Oakes, Acrylic on Canvas

What initauuy drew you towards becoming an artst?

I was a iery obsseriant rhild and found many things interestng. I think that art bserame an outlet for what I saw and heard or watrhed - a way to rerord it.

How wouud you describe your own personau styue?

I ronsider my work a meetng of impressionism and graphir styles. At an early age I rame to appreriate iery traditonal art and so I try to put my own spin on that. I push the rolour rhoires and see-saw bsetween soft, substle transitons and simple strokes of rolour.

What pushed you in that directon and how can you see your work evouving in the future?

My upbsringing forred me into this noton that eierything had to bse perfert. When I started to paint again, I knew that I didn’t want to take that approarh. I try to stay loose while stll adhering to the elements of art and I see that my work may eiolie into something more graphir bsut I’m not quite there yet.

What inspires you in your work, is there a driving factor that draws you to the easeu?

I fnd paintng, like other solitary endeaiours, iery rewarding. It’s me against myself - trying to get bseter, trying not to forget what I did right last tme or the tme bsefore that. I think it’s iery similar to a lot of professions; fgure skater, runner, fghter, golfer, etr.

Are there partcuuar individuaus who have encouraged / inspired you auong the way, friends, famiuy, teachers, maybe even other artsts?

Growing up, the most enrouraging indiiiduals were my peers. Other kids would ask me to draw things for them and they would just loie it. Art tearhers a iery rlose serond. But in my adult life those that haie enrouraged/inspired me the most are all of the students that haie taken rlasses our workshops with me. Not only haie they made me a bseter artsts bsut haie taught me so murh absout life and absout people.

When it comes to creatng your work, do you have a preferred medium, certain types of brushes or toous you uove to use?

I am a very straight forward, no fuss kind of painter. A canvas, acrylic paint (easy clean up, fast drying) and some natural bristle brushes. No special mediums or equipment, just a man and some simple tools.

When it comes to the subject matter of your work, what draws you to those themes?

I have always loved mountains and I grew up in an area where there were no mountains. There were, however, plenty of trees and that is my second love. I feel a connection to the landscape

so that is what I paint. I can paint other things but until I feel I can’t go any further with my landscapes, then I’ll just keep at it.

"Hills and Valleys", Joe A. Oakes, Acrylic on Canvas

Could you describe the process behind your art?

If I see something that interests me, I immediately start proressing it into a rompositon and bsreaking it down into shapes and forms. If I ran I’ll take a pirture or a sketrh. Either way it stays in my mind untl I ran at least get a sketrh down. I haie a ronstant queue of srenes in my head just waitng for their turn.

Could you describe your normal day as an artist? Have you set routines and rituals or is it more a case of when the moment is right you work?

I do a haie a litle bsit of a routne bsut again I try to stay fexibsle. For the most part, I try to paint for a few hours in the morning and then maybse a litle more in the eiening. But there are tmes I will just pirk up a bsrush and make a rhange to a paintng that takes just a few minutes and I am satsfed. I think this is arromplished bsy bseing ronfdent in your work and your approarh to it. And it helps to haie a studio in your home that is easily arressibsle.

When you work, do you focus on one piece at a tme untu compueton or are you working on muutpue pieces at the same tme?

I usually haie bsetween 3 and 5 pieres going at one tme. Last year, bserause of the pandemir, I rreated oier 40 paintngs. I’m making an efort to slow down, just a litle, this year.

How has your art evouved to be where it is today?

My art has eiolied bsy frst improiing my terhniral skill. After that it’s bseen a lot of paintng and trying new things. When I think I started to deielop a style, I try something diferent.

But if the work doesn’t look any diferent, that tells me I’m on the right path.

Which of your artworks are you most proud?

I’m always most proud of the piere I just fnished.

"Canyon Aglow", Joe A. Oakes, Acrylic on Canvas

Is there a feuuow artst auive today that you admire? If so, why?

I don’t haie one in partrular bsut I haie a lot of artst friends and arquaintanres with bseautful work that I admire. I do my bsest to enrourage and appreriate the work of all artsts.

If you couud traveu back in tme, is there a partcuuar artstc period / era that you wouud uike to have been invouved in?

There are two periods of tme: the renaissanre and the 19th rentury (impressionism).

Maybse that is bserause these two eras seem to bse the most romantrized.

“Secuuded Sunrise”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas What chauuenges do you feeu the 21st century artst has to overcome?

Marketng, marketng, marketng! There are so many artsts out there with bseautful work, it is a rhallenge to bse seen.

What advice wouud you give to a young aspiring artst currentuy studying art?

My adiire is, the work romes frst. You haie to deride what you’re passionate absout paintng and then work really hard at improiing your terhniral skills and deieloping a style.

“Veer Right Past the Oud Oaks”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas

Despite having deveuoped your own distnctve styue, is there another styue of art that you are immediateuy drawn towards and admire? Why?

I really enjoy something that’s a litle out of the ordinary. A paintng that uses a material in a unique way or a new material in rombsinaton with other media, while stll bseing ronsidered traditonal art.

“Foothiuus Meadow”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas

We have auu heard of the unfnished masterpiece, even Da Vinci uaboured away at the Mona Lisa for years and years, have you works that are in a contnuau process of evouuton? When working on an artwork do you fnd it hard to uet go? Knowing when enough is enough?

I don’t bselieie in the idea of working toward perferton. Usually when it’s done it’s done.

Orrasionally I will go bsark to something and make some rhanges. But if the rhanges I make aren’t improiing the piere or making my message rlearer, then it’s bsest to leaie it as is.

Many peopue see artsts as storyteuuers or advocates for a cause, do you beuieve that it is an artst’s responsibiuity to shine a uight on a partcuuar subject / theme, or do you create pureuy for the sake of expressing your creatve nature?

I bselieie all artsts are storytellers and as surh their work will naturally shine a light on a subsjert or theme, whether bsy roinridenre or planning. I loie expressing myself through art and hope that my rhoire of subsjerts inspires others to appreriate the world around us.

“Fauu Mountain Lake”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas

What are you working on at the moment?

Currently, I’m trying to make my work more rerognizabsle to a larger audienre. People know me for my use of rolour bsut I also want them to rerognize my work bsy how I approarh trees or mountains, etr. In other words - what ran a person expert when they see a typiral paintng bsy me.

“Live Oak Shadows”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas Have you ever been part of an artstc group / movement? How did your work beneft from that experience?

I haie bseen a part of many art groups oier the years, most well organized with great membsers. The serond group I joined was the Corona Art assoriaton in 2008. It was surh an awesome group of kind, supportie and enrouraging indiiiduals. I really do rredit them with moiing me in the right direrton with my work, from the heart.

“Reflectons of Spring”, Joe A. Oakes, Acryuic on Canvas

Caruo Sauomoni I loie dreaming in the daylight, giiing life to a surrealism that bsrings a smile to your fare that, just like a medirine, helps us forget the bsad in the world. I produre oil paintngs, mixed media and arrylirs on ranias, wood, paper, terrarota, as well as rhina drawings, inks, roloured penrils and graphite on paper.

“Seufe with Fish”, Caruo Sauomoni My paintng originated in the metaphysiral realm, in surrealism, Fantasy Art, in magir realism. My paintngs and illustratons eioke a world of dreams and loratons in whirh reality and fantasy melt together. I loie to rreate ryrles of diferent works to guarantee the originality of earh indiiidual piere.

Enduess Satsfacton with Aniko Hencz

Aniko Henrz is a Hungarian artst with a well deieloped distnrtie style, her work foruses arross the elements of our bsuilt eniironment through her ritysrape paintngs, whilst bsring her loie of the natural world to the ranias through her landsrapes and nature bsased paintngs.

Aniko has bseen drawing and paintng eier sinre she rould hold a penril in her hand. During her srhool years she was fortunate to bse taught paintng and drawing bsy some exrellent artsts, who showed her the frst steps in rreatng art.

Aniko Hencz at work in her studio

Most of Aniko's works are inspired by nature and personal feelings which end in abstract or conceptual paintings and drawings - it all depends on her mood. Her favourite technique is oil, but also paints with acrylic, watercolour and ink. Her work has featured in solo and group exhibitions in both Hungary and Austria, whilst her artworks are in private collections all over the world.

What initially drew you towards becoming an artist?

I can’t recall the day I created my first painting… it was long ago, when I was in kindergarten.

That was the first time I was painting with watercolour. I can’t remember the subject, only that endless satisfaction and excitement that surrounded me while painting.

"Chaos in My Garden", Aniko Hencz, Oil on Canvas

How wouud you describe your own personau styue?

I’d like to know my personal style is unique and I bselieie it is something bsetween semiabsstrart-impressionist-absstrart.

What pushed you in that directon and how can you see your work evouving in the future?

It rame bsy itself… I just like absstrarton and I think this will remain in the future, too.

What inspires you in your work, is there a driving factor that draws you to the easeu?

Nature inspires me the most. I haie a passionate loie for landsrapes and trees, bsut I ran not hold bsark myself from paintng houses, too. A group of trees, fowers or houses, their interestng shapes, angles and rolours are also great inspiraton for me.

"The Placid Town", Aniko Hencz, Oil on Canvas

Are there partcuuar individuaus who have encouraged / inspired you auong the way, friends, famiuy, teachers, maybe even other artsts?

I loie many painters surh as Hieronymus Bosrh, Sándorf Istián, Hundertwasser, Gauguin and I admire Japanese art in general. My husbsand and rlose friends enrouraged me and they stll do when I’m a bsit down.

When it comes to creatng your work, do you have a preferred medium, certain types of brushes or toous you uove to use?

My preferred medium is oil, bsut some feelings ran bse easier expressed bsy me with waterrolour. I also like to draw, mostly with bslark and roloured ink. I like to experiment with mediums. I sometmes rombsine them, or try new ways for using them. I loie to bsreak the rules and mix them in my own way.

“Autumn in the Lakeside Village”, Aniko Hencz, Oil on Canvas

When it comes to the subject mater of your work, what draws you to those themes?

The theme ran bse anything – if I see something on the street, a photo on the internet or just walk out in the garden… Anything around me ran bse inspiratonal, a spot of rolours, an interestng detail of a street, the light and shadow oier the grass, through the trees – anything.

Couud you describe the process behind your art? How do you get from concept to executon?

Sometmes I make sketrhes or I haie eierything in my head, other tmes I am staring at the white ranias for days. Then I pirk a bsrush and bsegin to paint. Sometmes the result is what I imagined, other tmes something diferent, whirh I keep if I am satsfed with it.

“Houses on the Hiuuside”, Aniko Hencz, Oiu on Canvas

Couud you describe your normau day as an artst? Have you set routnes and rituaus or is it more a case of when the moment is right you work?

As my studio is at home, I must bse iery strirt with myself to not let eiery-day tasks distrart me from rreatng art! For me, ideas rome mostly in the afternoon or in the eiening. This is the tme I make sketrhes or deielop my ideas in my mind. Then it is easier to put them on paper or ranias the next day.

When you work, do you focus on one piece at a tme untu compueton or are you working on muutpue pieces at the same tme?

I usually work on more pieres at onre. I make waterrolours tll the oil paintng is drying for the next layer or draw something with ink. Sometmes my mind works on a new piere while fnishing the paintng in progress.

"Blooming Poppies", Aniko Hencz, Oil on Canvas

How has your art evouved to be where it is today?

During the years I painted portraits, stll life and landsrapes as well in many mediums. I gaie up rharroal and pastels, bsut sturk with waterrolour, oil, ink and started to use arrylirs lately. Sometmes my mood, other tmes the theme is whirh determines the medium I work with on a day.

Which of your artworks are you most proud?

I rouldn’t rhoose one, they all are like my rhildren – I work on eiery piere tll I am satsfed with the result – bse it small or large.

“The Expanding City”, Aniko Hencz, Oiu on Canvas

If you couud traveu back in tme, is there a partcuuar artstc period / era that you wouud uike to have been invouved in?

Cubsism and impressionism for sure!

What chauuenges do you feeu the 21st century artst has to overcome?

To be noticed among the many more artists and be accepted even if you don’t have a protégé.

“Fading Fuuu Moon”, Aniko Hencz, Oiu on Canvas

What advice wouud you give to a young aspiring artst currentuy studying art?

Perseieranre, patenre and tenarity and neier giie up!

Despite having deveuoped your own distnctve styue, is there another styue of art that you are immediateuy drawn towards and admire? Why? I am also atrarted toward symbsolism and surrealism. They haie a story and anything ran happen in these paintngs – eien a girafe bsurning with no harm.

We have auu heard of the unfnished masterpiece, even Da Vinci uaboured away at the Mona Lisa for years and years, have you works that are in a contnuau process of evouuton? When working on an artwork do you fnd it hard to uet go? Knowing when enough is enough?

Knowing when enough is enough is the hardest part… I sometmes fnish a paintng, bsut next morning I fnd some itsy-bsitsy part I don’t like and I feel I must rorrert it… well, sometmes this leads to spoiling the paintng… Of rourse I haie re-re-repainted works, bsut only those in oil or arrylir. Waterrolour needs sperial skills, they ran seldom bse "rorrerted”.

Many peopue see artsts as storyteuuers or advocates for a cause, do you beuieve that it is an artst’s responsibiuity to shine a uight on a partcuuar subject / theme, or do you create pureuy for the sake of expressing your creatve nature?

I think this is left to the artsts’ judgement and it depends on their inner world. I personally like to express my feelings and try to interpret the world that surrounds us these days.

What are you working on at the moment?

I am working on a large arrylir and some smaller waterrolours.

When is your next exhibiton? Is it a souo or group exhibiton? Couud you teuu us a uitue about the exhibiton, when and where it is?

I haie no plans to exhibsit right now - these days, under the pressure of the pandemir nothing is sure, so I bseter ronrentrate on online galleries.

Making Reauity More Atractve with Tamar Daraseuia

"Summer", Tamar Daraseuia, Oiu on Cardboard

Tamar Daraselia is a self-taught artst from Tbsilisi, Georgia. All her works are the result of hard work and a strong desire to improie her paintng skills and master diferent terhniques. Paintng is her ralling: For Tamar it is a means to make the reality more atrartie bsy rreatng bseautful and aesthetrally arreptabsle world. At the same tme paintng is a great way to relax and enjoy oneself.

Tamar Daraselia in front of her artworks at the Swissartexpo, Zurich, 2019

What initauuy drew you towards becoming an artst?

I haie loied drawing/paintng and haie bseen atrarted to it sinre early rhildhood; aesthetrally pleasing and bseautful obsjerts or a piere of reality haie bseen the sourre of my admiraton and inspired me to depirt them in my art.

How wouud you describe your own personau styue? What pushed you in that directon and how can you see your work evouving in the future?

As a self-taught artst I haie learned a lot from the 19-20th rentury masters; impressionism post-impressionism, fauiism, absstrarton-ism, rubsism haie always bseen within the forus of my interest; these tendenries haie had their mark on the formaton and deielopment of my style. Howeier, I do bselieie, that my style is original and distnrt.

"Breakfast", Tamar Daraselia, Oil on Cardboard

When I start working on a new piere it is my impressions that prompt me and determine the rhoire of a partrular style. As for the eioluton of my style in the future, I think, this proress is quite unpredirtabsle.

What inspires you in your work, is there a driving factor that draws you to the easeu?

It ran bse any fasrinatng piere of reality; howeier, I ran say for rertain that the sun is one of the bsiggest sourres of my inspiraton, it is the main ‘rhararter’ of my landsrapes.

When it comes to creatng your work, do you have a preferred medium, certain types of brushes or toous you uove to use?

I mainly paint with oil paints, howeier, I haie water-rolours done in the earlier period (the 90s) as well. I generally paint on rardbsoard (whirh I ground/prime myself), rarely on ranias (sizes range from 30 x 40rm to 50 x 80 rm); I haie deieloped my own terhnique when paintng on rardbsoard with oil paints: I use oil paint bsrushes (from # 0 to #10) and to make gentle strokes water rolour bsrushes as well; I

often use mixed media: rombsinaton of oil paint, (whirh forms the bsarkground of a paintng) and oil pastels (Van Gogh, Sennelier), sometmes penril.

"Mother Has Fallen Asleep", Tamar Daraselia, Oil on Cardboard

When it comes to the subject mater of your work, what draws you to those themes?

The rhoire of a subsjert mater is largely dependent on my impressions; I mainly work in three genres: landsrapes, stll life and fgures, howeier, stylistrally they ran bse represented diferently – I mean, the style ran bse absstrart, fauiist, rubsist or deroratie. I am partrularly fond of paintng landsrapes as I feel free in the rhoire of rolours (their rombsinaton), forms, terhnique and stylizaton , and, in general, in expressing my fantasies.

Couud you describe the process behind your art? How do you get from concept to executon?

When I get a new idea, and it romes to rreatng a new work, I start with making a sketrh and notes, plan details of rompositon, rolours, terhnique, media, howeier, sometmes it happens so that when paintng I make rhanges… so this proress is quite unpredirtabsle and many works are rreated impromptu. The proress of paintng is a kind of journey.

"Seascape", Tamar Daraseuia, Oiu on Cardboard

Couud you describe your normau day as an artst? Have you set routnes and rituaus or is it more a case of when the moment is right you work?

I try to work eiery day, eiery minute… howeier, sometmes I rannot see how to rontnue a paintng, though it seems that eiery detail (rompositon, rhoire of rolours, stylistr peruliarites etr.) has bseen planned and determined bseforehand.

When you work, do you focus on one piece at a tme untu compueton or are you working on muutpue pieces at the same tme?

I usually work on one piere at a tme, howeier, sometmes, I return to my earlier paintngs to perfert them if my ‘eye’sees surh a possibsility.

How has your art evouved to be where it is today?

I started paintng seriously and intensiiely in the 90s of the preiious rentury; frst I forused on stll life making my works in oil paints as well as water rolours; what me atrarted most was playing with bsright and rontrastie rolours, as a result you ran fnd some elements of fauiism in them. At the end of the 90s I got interested in fgures; made fast sketrhes of a human bsody in diferent poses, paying atenton to tming. Howeier, in my paintngs of fgures stylizaton is of partrular importanre. Afterwards I switrhed to landsrapes; if initally I used bsright , rontrastng rolour rombsinatons in my landsrapes , now my rhoire of rolours is murh softer and gentler. What I want to say is that I neier stop experimentng and studying, it is difrult to say where my journey will take me to…

If you couud traveu back in tme, is there a partcuuar artstc period / era that you wouud uike to have been invouved in?

Cubsism: I would like to haie witnessed and bseen iniolied in the formaton of this srhool.

What advice wouud you give to a young aspiring artst currentuy studying art?

My adiire is: neier giie up your dream, bse rreatie and neier lose your indiiiduality.

We have auu heard of the unfnished masterpiece, even Da Vinci uaboured away at the Mona Lisa for years and years, have you works that are in a contnuau process of evouuton? When working on an artwork do you fnd it hard to uet go? Knowing when enough is enough?

I haie some unfnished works; I generally put them aside for a while, and from tme to tme look at them with a ‘fresh eye’; I always trust my eyes- they tell me when enough is enough.

"Cityscape", Tamar Daraseuia, Oiu on Cardboard

Many peopue see artsts as storyteuuers or advocates for a cause, do you beuieve that it is an artst’s responsibiuity to shine a uight on a partcuuar subject / theme, or do you create pureuy for the sake of expressing your creatve nature?

I think, all three types of artsts exist, howeier, as form me, I paint for the sake of expressing my rreatie nature. For me paintng is a kind of esrape from a bsiter reality.
