Artist Interview
Her recent works show her desire to
revolutionize the approach to painting, bringing a unique style that mixes
movement, colour and the sensation of a three-dimensional painting in her
artwork.

Art core caught up with
Célia after her most recent
exhibition the following is the Interveiw
ART CORE: When did you first realize you were an artist?
Célia:
I
don’t know. I always felt different…I always had this feeling of
having a gift. I feel it like a power, When I create I feel like I
am possessed.
It’s funny because when I was a little girl I wanted to be a writer,
that was my first passion… and then I wanted to be a dancer, and
actress, and a singer but the need to create and reinvent the world
was born with me!
ART CORE: You have a unique style. Could you tell us some
more about your work?
Célia: Well my work is the most
faithful portrait of me in some point…So I basically try to break
with everything I learned . My work is about breaking the
rules. I like to surprise myself when I am painting…I let myself be
possessed by some kind of strength, that words can not explain. I
put a lot of passion and rage into the paintings.
I usually use the hands and the knife to paint. I have a direct
contact with the texture similar to a caress or an aggression.
I like the idea that the person who see’s
my painting is watching a fireworks show.
ART CORE: What is it that inspires you to paint a
particular subject?
Célia:
What most inspires me in my figurative paintings is the human body
in motion, related to music and dance. For
the abstracts it’s more about all the emotions that sometimes we
content inside that most of the times we try not put them outside_
Emotions as anger, rage, frustration. These emotions are very
inspiriting for me.
ART CORE: What famous artists have influenced you, and how?
Célia: Oh my god! I would have to stay here all
night to answer to this one!
Well I basically consider myself as a contemporaneous impressionist
artist. I identify myself a lot with the way that impressionist
artists painted and dare to brake with the “old school” rules.
So for that William Tuner
is one of my favorites. The way he dissolute the forms and the light
are just brilliant. He’s visionary and romantic style are very
inspiriting.
Paul Cézanne is also one of my favorites, His innovating
pictorial conceptions: it’s what I most admire. Me, like him, I
directly paint on the cloth without a preamble draw. It’s a
wonderful sensation.
So, to short a little bit the list, I end up with Picasso, of
course he’s definitely a genius in a way I see art and artists in
general. What I most like about Picasso is the fact that he could
allow himself to do everything …
ART CORE: What do you do for fun (besides painting)?
Célia:
Besides painting I write poetry…and occasionally I sing.
ART CORE:What inspires you to create art and how do you keep
motivated when things get tough in the studio?
Célia:
What most inspires me is the need
to innovate.Right
now it’s a different new phase, because I lost most of my life work
in a fire (my studio burned), so I am in a revolution kind of state…
A part of the old me has disappeared so I’m looking to see what this
new me is going to bring.
ART CORE: How have you handled the business side of being an artist?
Célia:
At the beginning was really hard, because when
you paint you never imagine that actually you are going to separate
yourself from your creation. But them you get used to it specially
when you see that the persons who by your art they are completely
amazed by it. And it helps when you are well paid to deal with the
separation
ART CORE: What advice would you give to an artist just starting out?
Célia:
I would say before listen to other people’s advices,
you really have to know what you want even if you don’t know how to
get, you have to stay focus! There are a lot of vultures in the art
business so stay focused.
By
John A Burton
Renaissance- The Renaissance (meaning rebirth) was a
cultural movement that started in Italy in the
fourteenth century, and spread throughout Europe. In
art, the style of painting became highly realistic,
and attempted to mimic nature as closely as
possible. What to look for: a rich three-dimensional
perspective, human subjects in proportion (usually
wearing robes and making grand gestures), and
convincing representation of spaces.

Art Gets Wired
His deft handling of the materials (wiremesh) can be appreciated,
but it can’t be fully appreciated until the work is exhibited in
a fashion where lighting causes shadows to form on walls behind
the sculpture. The play of light on the porous (steel mesh) wire
makes the shadows appear to be pencil drawings etched behind the
sculpture. It is a dynamic effect!

the Article
Andrew Wyeth who has recently passed away at the age of 91 was a
self-taught artist. It would be proper for me, as a person who has
something to do with colours and canvasses, to remember the great
painter of our time. Andrew Wyeth started his artistic journey
earlier, say from the cradle. Under his father cooperation and
guidance he started his artistic journey at very young age.

Newsletter Exchange
by Donald Kolberg
So, I'm an artists, a sculptor to be exact.
And as an artist I have a website
http://www.donaldkolberg.com/
I have also started this newsletter
If you've started one you may be able to guess where I'm going...
getting names!
Of course I've contacted family and friends, local art organizations
and whoever else I could think of. But the reality is while the list
is growing, it moves slow. This is not good for an artist that would
rather be in his studio, so what to do.
Well here's my idea. I am going to add an Art Newsletter
Directory page to my website so that any artist or art
organization will be able to send me a link (for free) and in
exchange they will post a link to my website in their newsletter,
not there links page. That way visitors to my site will see a link
and short blurb about your Newsletter on my Newsletter and also see
the listings on in Art Newsletter Directory
For me, by placing a link to my newsletter somewhere on yours I will
also get exposure.
A win win situation.
(I know its a cliche)
Most artists I know cannot afford to subscribe to a mailing list
service so, keeping this free will help fellow artists.
Let me know if there is an interest in this, I would appreciate
the feedback.
