About me
Fazendo o reconhecimento do território e ao mesmo tempo carregando as energias de frente ao infinito e misterioso oceano.
"If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am like a filter that captures the interior essence of everything that I see and feel".
I exist in the universe of art as a filter that absorbs the essence of my experience, recreating and transforming all that I take in from the sensory world around me. My artwork captures scenes from my thoughts and from my intrinsic nature. Observing life and events provides a colorful backdrop of inspirational concepts that triggers my imagination. The beauty of nature with all of its colors, textures, and shapes inspires a new way of seeing and creating, art that blends together my internal passions, images, and thoughts. It’s my way of making contact with my own thoughts and perceptions, emerging with a visual experience to share with others.

Complex Systems Art Performance
author: Volkhard Stürzbecher
Description
The tasks of the artist in between this self-organizing process is firstly in the preparation of the used objects which are mostly liquids. The objects are put into physical relation in certain amounts and in certain configurations. This is equivalent to the initial state of the self-organizing.
Proceeding from this initial state develops the process of creating a form, while the artist can influence the self-organization by regulations, like for example adding new objects or physical reconfigurations of existing objects.

Coleção Digital by Carolina Moura
Essa coleção digital corresponde as primeiras experiências digitais da artista plástica Carolina Moura, e os resultados são de uma originalidade estarrecedora.
Nesse projeto, o desenho original à lápis "A arte do beijo" "Instinto natural"(http://coneccaoartistica.multiply.com/photos/album/4/Drawings_by_Moura#7) é editado segundo uma riqueza extonteante de cores, dando uma profundidade existêncial a relação de amor estabelecida na pintura. A vida flue pelos amantes, e ganha uma manifestação criativa incrívil na figura feminina. [Texto por Ferdinand Rafols]

Ermíno Souza - Artista Plástico
http://www.erminio-souza-arte.com.br/v3/m_principal.asp
No elenco de artistas plásticos que compõem a cultura do Brasil, Erminio Francisco de Souza se destaca mesclando sua vida profissional à sua vida familiar. Por isso esta obra vai contar neste espaço um pouco mais sobre sua família, suas realizações e sua identidade com a cidade.
Nascido em 31 de dezembro de 1942, em São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro, é filho do alagoano Luiz Moraes de Souza, e da sergipana Maria Enedina de Souza. Casado com Juraci Santos de Souza (nascida em 20/03/1945, em Cachoeira do Itapemirim – Espírito Santo), com quem tem duas filhas: Valeria Santos de Souza (08/03/1970) e Cristiane Santos de Souza (03/06/1971).
Após sair do colégio interno aos 16 anos, com a profissão de barbeiro, vendo na hora de folga uma notícia no jornal sobre um quadro do Orlando Teruz, já comentava com um amigo que um dia anida compraria um quadro como aquele.
Enfim, o tempo foi passando, nosso biografado foi trabalhar como contínuo no BEG (Banco do Estado da Guanabara), depois fez concurso interno, e seguiu subindo de classe na hierarquia do banco até ocupar o cargo de Operador de Câmbio.
Foi nesta época que começou a fazer uma pequena coleção de arte dos quais constavam: Di Cavalcante, Djanira, Panceti, Ado Malagoli, Silvio Pinto, Guignard e outros, totalizando mais ou menos 54 quadros, freqüentando leilões no eixo RJ/SP.
Com a aposentadoria precoce, pois já tinha passado a trabalhar em seis bancos Bancos, sendo que o último Banco Atlantis, houve uma intervenção do Banco Central, teve que se aposentar aos 51 anos, pois emprego ficou difícil. Não tinha direito a aposentadoria, pois só tinha 28 anos de contribuição.
Aposentado e com as filhas para sustentar, fez uma viagem a Natal – RN, gostou muito da cidade e resolveu se mudar com toda a família, passando a se dedicar inteiramente a pintura.
Aos poucos foi vendendo suas telas. Nesta altura descobriu o estilo abstrato geométrico. Ficou fascinado, e hoje pinta até 12 horas por dia, levando em média 25 dias para pintar um quadro, pois na maioria dos quadros a sobreposição de cores, predomina.
Recentemente, Erminio recebeu o Titulo de Destaque Artístico e Cultural, pela Academia Brasileira de Arte, Cultura e História, esperando que seja o primeiro de uma série, que muito o honrou.
Sua relação com a cidade de São Paulo começou quando nosso biografado conheceu exercia o Cargo de Operador de Câmbio, do Banco Bamerindus e Gerente de Operações de Cambio do Banco Safra em 1988. Valeu toda a expectativa que teve em relação a cidade.
Hoje, o contato continua sendo através de seu trabalho, porém na área cultura. Ele a admira por excelentes conhecedores de artes, e pelo apoio que teve da Academia Brasileira de Arte, Cultura e História, onde realizou recentemente uma exposição individual no Pólo Cultural Casa da Fazenda do Morumbi.
Demais exposições: Salão de Artes Plásticas de Natal/RN, Núcleo de Arte e Cultura da UFRN/RN, Salão XIII Unifor Plástica - Fortaleza/CE, Salão da Semana da Marinha - Natal/RN (3° Lugar).

Paisagens Naturais by Carolina Moura
Um dos lugares mais fascinante por onde passei e impossível de não registrar. A beleza ficou registrada em minha mente. Esse trabalho foi o resultado dessa emocionante visita ao maravilhoso Nordeste brasileiro.
Oil and acrilic on canvas.
O trabalho da artista plástica Carolina Moura navega por diferentes temáticas, entre elas, a captura e expressão de paisagens naturais e da vida selvagem. O cuidado com a apreensão da essência do objeto, manifesta-se numa dimensão espiritual holistica, onde a arte, o objeto e a artista se tornam um, parte de um mesmo universo que se auto-inspira. [Texto por Ferdinand Rafols]
Sobreposições by Carolina Moura
acrílico e canson
Os trabalhos artisticos de Sobreposições representam os campos gravitacionais que existem no nosso Universo, das forças de atração das grandes massas, onde tudo parece se interconectar num perfeito dinamismo. A grandeza do Universo, obra prima do Criador Celestial, provoca ecxtase para a mente humana, e é no imaginário que o processo criativo ganha vida expandindo as possibilidades do Ser.

depthCORE.com :: International Digital Media & Modern Art Collective
http://depthcore.com/
About Us
depthCORE is an international art collective focused on modern and abstract art, incorporating design, photography, animation and audio. Established by Justin Maller and Kevin Stacey in 2002, our membership is comprised of artists of all ages from all locations around the world and all walks of life, united by their love for art, and their passion for innovation.
The group was established to provide a showcase for the best in modern craftsmanship, with the primary goals of breaking design conventions and pushing the boundaries of artwork created or enhanced digitally. In a medium inundated with repetition we aim to bring something unique and innovative with every release we put forth, as we illustrate, orchestrate and visually represent the thoughts, hopes and dreams of all corners of the globe.
Chapters
Every three to four months, the depthCORE.com Collective puts forth a collection of digital media and modern artwork contributed by our members in what are colloquially referred to as "Chapters" (formerly "packs"). Chapters contain anywhere from 50 to 150 selected works from various mediums, including digital art, photography, music, animations, and collaborative works. The releases are themed, and require each member to contribute their own interpretation of a central idea or concept. The themes are only as binding as the members imagination allows them to be, and artists are free to project any construction of the subject they desire. Accompanying each Chapter is featured content, consisting of a detailed interview with a featured member and several spotlighted artworks. These selections are made by the staff, and aim to promote artists and artworks of outstanding merit and theme relevance. They also give the public an insight into the true nature of the release, and give recognition to a member who has made an exceptional contribution to the group through their artwork and participation.
Our Artists
Many of the original artists from the group's inception still release with us today, and we are constantly recruiting artists from around the community, inviting them to join our collective and help to keep our releases vibrant and fresh. Whilst we do accept applications, the majority of our artists gain membership via private invitation as opposed to their own request.

SidesShow
The sideshow was once a highly popular form of fairground entertainment. Dancing girls, snake charmers and the "world's largest rat" were all part of the fun. But as mechanised rides became widespread in the 1960s, the shows faded away.
Here, Jon Marshall of Sideshow Illusions and Prof Vanessa Toulmin, Director of the National Fairground Archive at The University of Sheffield reminisce about the sideshow's heyday. They were speaking at the Wellcome Collection, run by Britain's medical charity the Wellcome Trust, which has been explored the science behind some of these illusions of yesteryear.

"Biombo" by Carolina Moura
A arte pode potencialmente se espalhar por todos objetos e espacialidades. As pinturas abaixo foram realizadas num "Biombo" de quatro partes e representam a liberdade da essência feminina no contemplar da natureza. A sensualidade é manifestada quase de forma inconsciente. O tecido que envolve parcialmente a bela manifesta de certa forma o fluxo intenso da energia da vida que o corpo humano é capaz. [Texto por Ferdinand Rafols]

James Rosenquist American Artist Paintings Prints
http://www.jimrosenquist-artist.com/
From 1957 to 1960, he earned his living as a billboard painter. This was perfect training, as it turned out, for an artist about to explode onto the pop art scene. Rosenquist deftly applied sign-painting techniques to the large-scale paintings he began creating in 1960. Like other pop artists, Rosenquist adapted the visual language of advertising and pop culture (often funny, vulgar, and outrageous) to the context of fine art. Rosenquist achieved international acclaim in 1965 with the room-scale painting F-111.
Rosenquist has stated the following about his involvement in the Pop Art movement: "They(art critics) called me a Pop artist because I used recognizable imagery. The critics like to group people together. I didn't meet Andy Warhol until 1964. I did not really know Andy or Roy Lichtenstein that well. We all emerged separately."

About :: Foundation for Contemporary Arts

Mission
The Foundation for Contemporary Arts was started in 1963 by visual artists in a spirit of community, hoping to assist and encourage innovation, experimentation and potential in the arts.
Since then, exhibitions and sales of works donated by more than 600 visual artists have made possible our program of non-restrictive grants to individuals working in dance, music/sound, performance art/theater, poetry and the visual arts. Grants are also given to presenting organizations, and we maintain a modest fund to help artists with unexpected emergencies.
The FCA continues to support its grant programs through the sale of artists' works and through direct financial contributions. In fact, the concept of a benefit exhibition originated with founders Jasper Johns, John Cage and others who were involved in those early days.

Gustav Klimt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Klimt
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,[1] and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil (see Mulher sentada, below).
