Creating acrylic abstract and semi-abstract artworks allows me freedom of expression. It has no rules, no boundaries, and no limits. I paint from an inner impulsion, free from any worry of what the critic may think or feel. Satisfaction, to me, comes from knowing that I have expressed my thoughts, desires, and uncertainty in my […]

A girl is left alone sleeping in an unlocked rental car at the parking lot where lot of criminal activities often take place. The person at right is a car hiker coming to note the mileage and gasoline level. Finding her he gets horrified. With my work, that is always autobiographical, I try to slightly […]

When we off-load our certainties and drop our conditionings, when looking at things as if they had never been contemplated before, free of any definitions, interpretations, or value judgements; then the reality appears as it really is—enlarged and filled with beauty. That’s what I am trying to convey with my artworks; throughout anthropologic, fine art, […]

Keith J. Varadi Talks Shop With Bodega
I first learned about Bodega over three years ago when they were only on their third exhibition—a solo presentation of Nicholas Gottlund, an interdisciplinary artist who runs an exquisite press, Gottlund Verlag, between Los Angeles (where he now lives) and Eastern Pennsylvania (where he started it). The following month, one of my best friends and […]

I am painting. When we have become friends, my painting and I, when our intimate and intense interaction has proved successful, when we have found ourselves to be soul mates—then my work is done. dominique-belvedere.ch

I look for the common language between figurative and abstract art. Where does the first end and where does the second begin? For 24 years, I have heard both, “You are abstract!” and, “You are figurative!” In fact, I am very interested by both and with the natural mix created my own style. So, why […]
