Biography: I am an undergraduate who is studying art history in Tokyo, Japan.
I usually work on digital art. To me, the process of creating an artwork is as important as the work itself. My works often explore the way in which the state of my mind is reflected in the composition of shapes and colours. I enjoy the process of my consciousness or subconsciousness is expressed on the screen and forms an artwork. I don’t always envision what my work will be. Sometimes, I just let my mind flow. In some part, I welcome uncertainty. These processes make creating abstract works all the more interesting to me.

Biography: My name is Anastasiia Kruglova and I’m an artist from Russia, Moscow.
I received a degree in International Law, and later received a degree in Sound Engineering. Throughout my life, art remains the main language of communication with the outside world, which has no boundaries and difficulties in translation. Every single time I choose the theme for my artwork I try to think of it from different perspectives. And that is an inspirational point for me. I find each aspect of life quite unique and emotive: time, nature, visual and audible environment, science, emotions etc. all simultaneously and interconnected – that’s what makes my artworks viable.
Took part in numerous exhibition projects.
In 2009 won 2nd place in the avant-garde genre in the Russian Painting Competition as part of the Russian Art Week. In the same year, won 1st place in the international competition as part of the Russian Art Week with the work “JoyJuice”. Also, in 2009. Awarded by the Union of Women of Russia with the Diploma “Recognition” for the work “Striking Solo”.
Since 2018 – a scientific volunteer at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (laboratory of cognitive psychology and psychology of small groups).
Since 2009 – member of the International Arts Fund.

artwork: Man Destructing the Nature
Medium : Copper
Dimensions : Humans can be considered as one link of nature and the existence of the mankind depends on nature as well. According to a proposal at United Nations Conference in 1992 held in Sweden, June 5th has been declared as the World Environmental Day. The concept behind this, is the fact that the existence of the mankind and other organisms depend on the existence of nature, thus we have a huge responsibility in protecting the nature.  In this art piece, I am describing in detail, the man who has assumed an identity of a character going against the nature rather than being his true self. When studying a human being, we can identify the vascular system spreading throughout the body. Having the heart as the center, this vascular system spreads through the body dividing like branches of a tree.  This is one of the wonderful processes the nature has created inside the human body. In my art piece, I have given the symbolic shape to the heart and since it is the most important part of the human body, it was created as a bright object.  The two main arteries that transport blood from the heart to the body are portrayed as branches of a tree, trying to represent the natural environment. It shows well that, even though the man kept on destroying nature, his vital energy still sprouts and grows inside his body.  In the present world, lot of severe destructions and natural disasters have happened due to irresponsible human activities. Even knowing that the existence of mankind depends on the existence of nature, the humans live in disguise, totally ignoring that fact.  In my creation, the human figure is wearing a Sri Lankan devil dancing mask.  It represents the present Sri Lankan, disguised as a devil, disturbing the nature.  Sri Lanka has been known around the world as a country with small incidents of natural disasters. But now it is becoming a prey for nature as it has not been during entire Sri Lankan history. Nature is answering to human being who is going against it.   Landslides, floods, various epidemics like the Coronavirus that has spread throughout the world, are the outcomes of irresponsible human activities against the nature.  Through my art piece, I was attempting to create a three-dimensional object to portray the above-mentioned concept.

Biography: * Disclaimer * I prefer not to use my real name online. I do exhibitions with my artist name “Karisma”.

Bio:
A mirror held up to the world, exposing the aspects of life we often forget or ignore — lies, hatred, energy, connection — this is the work of the secretive artist known only as Karisma. Born in Varese, Italy, Karisma turned to art for a more personal reason than fame or fortune; his work is the result of sleepless nights and struggles with depression.

Karisma is a self-taught digital artist, garnering attention from magazines and award competitions early in his career. Though discreet about his artistic process, Karisma has exhibited work at the International Exhibition of Modern and Contemporary Art in Innsbruck, Austria. Audiences are drawn to the raw and even cruel energy that permeates his work.

Karisma cites no influences upon his work, drawing solely upon his own mind for the often dark, challenging, and thrilling scenes within his art, such as those seen in his We Bleed Watercolors (2019) collection. Today Karisma continues to explore the corners of his inner world while living and working in Italy.

Statement:
Some art seeks to please you — my work makes no such promise. I use my artwork to construct a window into modern society, giving viewers the chance to see with clear eyes both the darkness and the energy that flows through our world. My art is meant to challenge the viewer, to invite them to peer through the window I create and experience the conflicting emotions that may arise. Some viewers are upset by what they find in my work, while others are startled at the raw expression, even claiming that, like Paganini, I may have sold my soul to offer such a clear window into the world.

I avoid seeking influences for my work that exist outside my own mind; it’s my mind that brought me to first create art as a remedy for soothing the sting of depression. My art is the voice that I could find no ears for; I put my conflicts and thoughts into my work and let them speak for themselves. I keep my practice private, no longer using my words to explain my inner world, but letting my art speak for me instead.

I welcome viewers to enter that inner world through my art and allow themselves to be challenged by what they find — a mirror to our world that reminds us of that which we would often rather ignore.

The author of these paintings wants to show viewers repetition and change that cannot be shared with anyone else even if you want it. The author claims that we become monotonous and various directions of movement emerge in which we get a new color, but it always disappears in the monotony of everyday life and it is short-lived. Of course, it can be repeated, but it will always be in a different background or with a different shade.
