Rick Anderson, USA


As an experienced artist, it's important to me to stay current and relevant.  This is why I was  honored to have been invited to be a  part of FabrianoInAcquarello, 2020-2023, a meeting place for the international watercolor community. I attended watercolor demonstrations,  meetings and painted with these artists. This is one of the most comprehensive  and fulfilling watercolor events I've ever been a part of. Over 1400 of us were included in an exhibition that was on display so visitors could enjoy seeing each artist's original watercolor representing their home country. It is a community of friendship, sharing knowledge trough demonstrations, working towards the same goals through our  world of watercolor. 

I am a lifelong resident of Mississippi. Growing up in the Mississippi has had an influence on my art, but it does not define my work. Wherever I travel, throughout the United States or abroad, every place has an influence on my art. How can it not? Whatever my subject, my work process is the same,

I mostly paint in my studio referencing on location sketches, watercolor studies , photos taken by me or my wife, and notes.   My goal is to create art that makes a strong visual statement.

Stanislaw Zoladz, Sweden

Εικόνα
Stanislaw Zoladz, born in Poland in 1952, moved to Sweden after completing his art education at the Art Academy in Krakow in 1978. Since then he has been active as a full-time artist in Sweden.  He’s participating in many international exhibitions over the world. He has been recognised as “master of watercolours “ after years of painting and many prizes in international competitions.  Stanislaw’s words about his art:  "Nature has always been my source of inspiration, it dominates my works. In the summer I paint in the archipelago. I wait for the sun's reflections on wet rocks, catch shadows, reflections in water and paint stones under the water's surface.   My paintings do not provoke, they lack a direct message, they do not depict the present, but they should make the viewer stop and reflect. I only paint when I myself experience something that touches me and that is the feeling I want to pass on to the viewer"

Born in Isfahan (Iran), she holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics.  Self- taught artist, she first followed the realist style.  As any artist, she needs to explore and create, thus searching on networks for other artists who had different styles to what she was used to see.  She has been influenced by Alvaro Castagnet, Paul Ching Bor.  Her style evolves and she creates her own technique.  The situations she has been through and the artists she met have represented an important influence in the evolution of her style, receiving the support of these artists in the development of her career, who also gave her the chance to share projects with them.
