3 Artists I Have Chosen to Look at

Agnes Cecile

                      

I am really interested in this artist because of how she expresses their emotions. What really got me interested in her piece is the way she uses the materials and creates different textures. When she uses watercolours she blends it in with various colours and create an abstract, she then uses colours to express their feelings or emotions.

For the black painting she uses oil, acrylic paint and varnish. She then dips her paint brush in, takes a big lump and she lets the paint drops while painting and smudging with it. I really like this as it is interesting to look at mostly because of the tone and colour. When black is on white it makes it more eye-catching for the viewers. She lets the paint go freely rather than precise and neatly.

She is an Italian artist, Silvia Pelissero, better known as Agnes Ceciel primarily, she creates emotionally evocative watercolor paintings. Through all of her experimentation she has found a way to express emotions by wisping as you can mostly see it in her watercolour paintings. Pelissero also captures emotion.  Her focus is on the eyes as they mainly express emotion through the whole painting.

Self Portraits, oil pastel on canvas, 190 X 150 cm

After looking at his work I started having ideas on what my theme could be based on. I really like the way he uses his oil pastel and the patterns he makes. These patterns are able to show the characters expressions or emotions and the colours help to add a greater effect, I might try and do the same thing but with  different patterns.

He was born in Athens, Greece in 1981. He studied Painting and also Theatrical Stage and Costume Design at School of Fine Arts at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His musical studies gave him ideas and inspiration for art. In 2005 he started painting and doing other things that his subject were related to. He have also created the stage-setting and paintings for several movies and theatrical shows and exhibitions.

I really like the way she looks at a design  and then paints it on top of the face, what I really found interesting in her paintings is that she is able to show the persons expressions. If you want to here more about the Artist I already talked about her in post called 2 interesting Artists.
