Ed Brodkin, takes great pleasure in using a variety of materials: acrylics enamels, glazes, varnishes, collages, printed or woven fabrics on varied grounds including canvas, burlap, fiberboard and pressed wood, sometimes combined. Occasionally non-rectangular shapes are used possibly even perforated. All the above allow him the pleasure of always experimenting, never becoming formulaic and never settling on a “signature” style.

 Fernando Molero’s vibrant paintings in colors of azure and emerald evoke his childhood home in southern Spain. Real architectural sites, such as the 14th-century Patio de los Arrayanes in Alhambra, Granada, make appearances in Molero’s paintings, as do fantastical buildings, conjured from the artist’s imagination. “Many artists use light as a tool to illuminate their subjects,” says Molero. “I make light the subject itself.” This interest in light often manifests in a painted veil, which acts as a barrier and an invitation to the viewer. Molero studied at the University of Barcelona, and taught art at the Leonardo da Vinci Academy of Art in Barcelona.

Art has been a passion of mine in which I have channeled my energy and emotions for over the past 5 decades. With the use of brushes, oils, watercolors, pastels, strokes and color I have created an area in my life that I cannot enter into except for while creating art. There is balance between the delicacy and strength with the use of art mediums I have been able to extract art from my mind and soul.  ~ Michael J Palladino ~
