CAROL ADRIANZA FERDINAND Ve n e zu e la - USA ARTIST STATEMENT

The S hrimp, 2 0 1 1 . Mixe d Me d ia o n Ca n v a s . 5 0 x 4 0 in .

I began my art studies in Miami Fl, with a personal tutorial in Silk-screen technique. Following to that I traveled to Italy for further my studies in visual arts with an Italian maestro, blending other artistic forms into my portraiture, expanding to abstract and mix media from my early works in Black & White, keeping the sobriety which characterizes them. The beauty of this method is the individual manipulation of each handpainted-monoprint. My subject matter is mostly focus on artistic representations of iconic characters, self-portraits or people who do not exist any longer, in which the face, and its expressions are predominant. I always perform a previous study of the subjects I represent. Each of my subjects have a special connection and a reason for being chosen, ''an attachment''. Always trying to enlighten the understanding of fashion and style thru my subjects. Each collection often consist of multiples works often in a range of different media, grouped around specific characters and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work .

CHARLOTTE WENSLEY Au stra lia

Da rkling Dre a m, 2 0 1 1 . Ac ry lic o n Ca n v a s . 9 1 x 9 1 c m (3 6 x 3 6 in .) ARTIST STATEMENT I am fascinated by the abstract nature of emotion. In an attempt to explore, capture and understand its existence I encourage each of my paintings to tell a story about the creation of personal emotional identity. My abstract works reference the intangible concept of human sentiment and formative emotional experience. For me there is no greater truth in life than to explore, investigate and create artwork born from personal emotional responses to the everyday and the extraordinary, the real and the ephemeral. I strive to paint that which cannot be seen by others, that uniqueness of feeling which I know belongs only to me.
