Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joe Calleri Northcote, Australia SPEED Fine Art Photography Artist Statement While I don’t like speed, I like the concept of speed. This image was taken during the shooting of an Australian-made sci-fi movie. While I liked the appearance of the original image, I decided to give it some oomph by tweaking it slightly using the PhotoTools program. The final image gives of this hurtling, motoring missile approaching one at near warp speed.Read More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joe Calleri Northcote, Australia SUNFLOWER Fine Art Photography Artist Statement I love the bright colours of nature. During a photographic walk one morning, I spotted a bunch of sunflowers. A slight breeze was blowing that day, creating some blur in the image I took of the flower. But, I found the simple image of the sunflower lacked some interest and visual impact for me. I, therefore, wanted to create an abstraction, and something similar to an optical illusion.Read More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joe Calleri Northcote, Australia TRAIN Fine Art Photography Artist Statement A chance shot. I was on the train one morning, DSLR in hand, taking random shots of anything that I regarded as having some degree of artistic merit. A train was passing in the opposite direction at high speed. I pointed and took three shots. I strive for balance, symmetry and minimalism in my work, and wanted to reduce the image of the moving train to one colour and a series of lines.Read More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Anupama Jain Dubai, United Arab Emirates Nrityangana Oil Painting Artist Statement The process of creating art is unrestrained and unplanned for me. I work in an almost meditative state and allow my tools and materials to create lines, shapes and colors spontaneously. As the piece progresses and the feelings and emotions within me are given release onto my canvas, I am later able to engage conscious thought and carry the piece into its final state. ‘Nrityangana’ or ‘the Dancer’ is an attempt to capture the essence of the Indian classical dance known as Bharat Natyam. I always thoughtRead More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Anupama Jain Dubai, United Arab Emirates Harmony Mixed Media Artist Statement The process of creating art is unrestrained and unplanned for me. I work in an almost meditative state and allow my tools and materials to create lines, shapes and colors spontaneously. As the piece progresses and the feelings and emotions within me are given release onto my canvas, I am later able to engage conscious thought and carry the piece into its final state. Harmony is a piece of contrasts. Warm oranges and reds clash with greens and blues. Lines suggesting human figures collide with undefined shapes.Read More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Youngla Park Los Angeles, California, USA Epic #826, Floating Mixed Media Artist Statement Line. It is contained in every thing in the world, every thing that comes into being, grows and disappears, as well as leaves traces behind. It exists everywhere, equally in mountains and water, in light and the physical expression of persons, in buildings and any object. At the same time each line is unique. It embodies its characteristic and specific order and regulation. I want to create a line which is perfectly independent, which does not serve as an attribute. It is a specific beingRead More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Peter Martori Phoenix, Arizona, USA WitchsOven Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Do I see what I see? Am I ever still? Is a still photograph a revelation or an illusion? If I purposely move the camera when shooting am I an artist or a fool? I have been trying to answer these questions, waving my camera through long exposures, reviewing the results, adjusting settings, trying to capture not life, but being alive. In these photographs the idea of young children excited and afraid, running through the woods, appeared when a tree’s hollow became a witch’s oven. The digitalRead More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Micky Girardi Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA Steps to the Sun Fine Art Photography Artist Statement As a native New Englander, I learned the value of the environment at an early age. Throughout my years of camping, hiking and living in a rural area, it helped cement a respect and adoration for the great outdoors.

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Leroy Lee Walnut, California, USA Deep Meditation Oil Painting Artist Statement Stillness and Motion are two main elements in my paintings.They are the forms of existence of all things in the universe and not only extreme contrast but also harmonious balance. I would like to express these feelings and thoughts to people through my compositions, brush strokes and colors… When I was kid, I usually spent times in the museum looking for works of old masters. I deeply feel that the environment has great impact upon shaping my learning attitude. When I entered Vocational High School majoring inRead More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Mara Zaslove Santa Monica, California, USA Modern Nymphs Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Although a native Californian, I have traveled extensively throughout this country and abroad. When I look through my camera I am drawn towards a composition that that tells a story. Having previously been a dancer, melding my love for dance with photography complements my art. The dancers in this photo are reminiscent of the “Martha Graham” style. Capturing their movement magnifies this performance. Photography has ignited a passion that has interwoven my view of the world with my life experiences. When shooting, my innate reactionRead More →

Motion Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Lily Nava South Coast Metro, California, USA Illuminata I Acrylic Painting Artist Statement I grew up in Bronx, NY, with a heart for everything mystical and dreamy. Back then, you could always find me somewhere sitting quietly sketching women with goddess-like garb creating a wardrobe on paper. The images of my childhood sketches lay dormant for many years until 2003 when I started sketching again. In 2004 I came across the Fusionart technique of fusing of the opposites, intuitive creation. “Illuminata I” was inspired by one of my earlier works, Prism Dance. Prism Dance caught the attention ofRead More →
