Interview with the Artist Patricia Ariel

Q: Tell us about your art technique and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: I work with different techniques as I have different bodies of work. I’ve been teaching myself to work in oils and developing ways to combine different media to tell my stories. I can say, however, that graphite and charcoal play the main role; even in my oil and acrylic painting process I am always trying to find a way to make these materials apparent, as if revealing the structure, or the soul, of the work.

Q: Do you use any special materials, or do anything out of the ordinary when you are creating your art, If so could you tell us about it?

Interview with the Artist Lioba Bruckner

Q: Tell us about your art technique and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: Currently I use a variety of mediums. I did have a phase in which I only created oil paintings, but now I use watercolors, color pencils, gouache and I even combine oils and watercolors together in one painting. I can’t say what first sparked my interest, I was always interested in art and when I was seventeen I decided that I wanted to become a professional artist.

Interview with the Artist Lillian Liu

Q: Tell us about your photography and what first sparked an interest in this medium. Do you prefer the old school wet process or are you fully digital?

A: I think I’ve always enjoyed viewing art. I did come across some beautiful landscape and macro photography online on Deviantart as a preteen, and really loved collecting all of my favorite artwork to look at in my spare time. I think this sparked my interest in trying my hand initially at picking up a camera! It wasn’t until I decided to take photos of my friends, that I decided that portraiture was quite interesting.  I’m fully digital- I don’t know a thing about anything old-school! My first camera was digital, and it’s been this way for a while…but I think there is great beauty in older methods that are worth learning.

Interview with the Artist Emiliano Alfonsi

Translation by Costanza Tagliaferri

Q: Tell us about your art technique and what first sparked an interest in this medium.

A: To achieve the sculptural and three-dimensional effect of the painting, all my work with tempera paint is on carved and assembled wooden pieces following a specific order of stratification. I usually paint on lime following the fundamental principles of ancient mural paintings; while the trim of each piece is in twenty-two carat gold leaf.
