Matthew Scherfenberg | Figurative photographer
Matthew Scherfenberg is an American photographer.
"Most of my work focuses on the human body, the form I think is most beautiful to human eyes.
Often I attempt to distill out all the identity and emotion and present only the aesthetic element. This is not meant to be sterile. I want to provoke. I want to stimulate. I want whatever the observer feels to come from inside themselves. I make art for the sake of art.
I do some commercial work, but mostly art for gallery shows".

Norwegian painter Frode Nybø, a full-time-painter, was born and live in Aalesund, Norway, a place where mountains, fjords and wheater gives inspiration. In recent years painting as a hobby has developed into a passion.
I`ve explored both oil and watercolor as medium - but these days I only use acrylics for my paintings. It suits my patience better. The natures colors, phenomena and lights are my resources for inspiration.
