Dmitry Brodetsky, 1976 ~ Surrealist painter

Дмитрий Бродецкий was born in USSR, Chisinau, Moldova.
- Painting and art in general have captivated me since I was a child. It all started as a mere game, but it later became a means of communication. Painting is actually the only communicative channel still available to me today. That's because I am not a social being, in the sense of taking reality as it is and simply complying with the prevailing, mainstream rules.

Ilene Meyer | Surrealist painter

Ilene Meyer (1940-2009) was a self-taught artist, who was inspired by her mother's drawings as a child. She began showing her surreal oil paintings in Washington and California in the 1970's.

She paints in the Salvador Dalì 1904-1989 and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) style, but with more life and feeling.

She makes her paints come alive with her use of light, color, shadows and "all the details".

Extraordinarily rich and expressively rendered, Ilene Meyer's oil paintings and prints wrap viewers in the mists and myths of creation, exploring fantastical creatures and imaginary landscapes with piercing clarity and passion.

Paul Cézanne: Voglio dipingere la verginità del mondo!

• Il disegno ed il colore non sono affatto distinti. Man mano che si dipinge, si disegna. Più il colore diventa armonioso, più il disegno si fa preciso.
• Deriviamo tutti da Pissarro🎨.
• Di Cézanne c'è n'è uno ogni due secoli!
• Ho una sensazione lieve, ma non riesco ad esprimerla. Sono come uno incapace di usare la moneta d'oro in suo possesso.
• Ho voluto legare le linee fuggenti della natura.
• L'approvazione degli altri è uno stimolante, del quale talvolta è bene diffidare.
• L'artista deve temere lo spirito da letterato che porta così spesso il pittore ad allontanarsi dalla sua vera strada: lo studio concreto della natura.
