Creating abstract art offers me a profound sense of freedom, liberating me from conventional constraints and allowing me to fully embrace my creativity. In my practice, I focus on conveying emotions of peace and tranquility, channeling these serene energies into each stroke and hue. My work is driven by the belief that art has the capacity to heal, to soothe, and to restore. Through abstraction, I explore the depth of human emotion and intuition, aiming to create spaces where viewers can connect to a sense of calm and restoration. This approach not only reflects my artistic vision but also underscores my message: art is a powerful conduit for healing and harmony.

In my art practice, I describe my creations as Textural Acrylics. This term represents the exciting experience of observing paint flow from the palette knife, forming captivating textures and colors. Each stroke channels emotion, and every canvas captures a moment of creative inspiration.

My process is spontaneous – I start with a loose outline, sketch the composition, and then fully immerse myself in the act of creating. Throughout the process, music is my closest companion, its volume soaring. I dance to the rhythm, losing myself in the beats, and, on occasion, even letting out a song. My painting process is a multisensory experience, an immersive journey into the fusion of sound and color, where each note becomes a brushstroke, and every stroke on the canvas is a dance of creation. I often liken my paintings to cherished children—it’s a relationship that involves nurturing, engaging in heartfelt conversations, and weathering the challenges of creative adolescence with boundless love and patience.

First submission and take on photography. This photo was taken in the mountains near Yosemite National Forest in California. It speaks to what summer really means and feels like when in the wilderness around sunset. The sun glinting between the trees mid-photo captured a moment I’d never been able to before.

My artistry is born of spontaneity, a voyage through the open-air tapestry of life that cuts a swath across the continuum of time and space as I navigate the course of my existence.

As an author, writer, and photographer, I hold both minute and monumental moments in high regard. Encased within the temporal sphere, I am drawn to the symphony of colors and patterns, the dance of joy and sorrow, and the ebb and flow of nature’s life cycle. The changing seasons hold a pivotal role in my work. My perceptual lens has been honed and polished by the crucible of Minnesota’s severe weather that marked my childhood, coupled with an early immersion in the sublime aesthetics of Japan. I am perpetually on a quest for that breathtaking snapshot, the one that seizes a moment or a place in time, compelling me to etch it indelibly into the canvas of our collective memory

As an emotional painter, she works with the inner world that is reflected in each of us. Her painting is telling a story and conveys words that are giving a message. As an emotional creator playing with his thoughts, showing them proudly to the world, she combines visual and mental perception. The image is the total of all sensations, so it remains forever. She wants to merge everything into one. Forever.

Creating intuitively she most enjoys with a combination of acrylic paint, spatulas, and brushes, letting the music and thoughts come together on the canvas, where the unexpected becomes expected or surprising. Ideas after ideas assemble images like a puzzle. Sometimes the painting is accompanied by poetry or words that have found their own way, this is when the canvas speaks to her

She is a human being, a creator who communicates a message through colors and words. She likes to explore everything in depth, working with inner feelings and looking for answers to questions. The forest is her oasis, where she finds her inner peace. It is where her inspiration awakens, her connection with nature, it is where she finds answers to her questions. Music helps to tune the energies and then she transfers them to the canvas, to be in harmony with her surroundings, to be at peace and content. She usually lets herself be carried away by the music, choosing colors intuitively.

Try to stop for a moment and listen to the colors.
You see colors that speak to you and communicate more than what is on the surface.
Try to see things differently, try to question yourself.
What are your feelings and how do words and images affect you?
Maybe then you will see the world differently, a world that will make your thoughts dance.

“My interests lie in nature, wildlife, spirituality, and the human spirit. The most basic of creations in life are combined with technological media as a vessel to provide a divergent yet clean portrayal of themes I am drawn to.“

As a digital artist, I have always been interested in themes of spirituality, nature, and wildlife, as well as in the human condition and what makes people tick.

I am an avid advocate for the protection of wildlife, nature, and the environment.

I have worked in the area of computer graphics ever since the computer became a tool for creative pursuits.

I create my collage-inspired work using a combination of digital software integrated with my own drawings and photographs.

I prefer full vivid colors, and also create symbols in my art much like the Flemish artists did. My additional favorite art movements are Surrealism, Flemish Art, and Pop Art.

Nature has always inspired me with its natural beauty and the solace and peace it provides us all. As both an artist and a photographer, I feel it is my responsibility to encapsulate, capture, and create beauty, while also honoring nature and the natural world offers and the therapeutic power peace, and solace that nature provides us all. My photography and artworks prompt us to value nature, our environment, and to conserve and cherish and utilize our natural resources as nature naturally intended while exploring the deeper underlying connections between nature and humanity.

As a photographer, I am capturing the beauty of nature that surrounds us all. Each of my photographs encapsulates and embodies both the emotions and beauty that I experience while within that specific moment of Time, of the initial capture. Through my lens, I am able to capture, and preserve the beauty of the natural scenery through my eyes, for all to appreciate and experience! Allowing The viewers The opportunity to Stay within the particular moment in time, for as long as they may wish!- Photographer, Artist Nicole Martinelli

During these ever-changing times we are living in, There is one thing that never changes, the solitude beauty, peace, and comfort nature provides us all! Nature never falters and is always there for you! There is always an ocean or stream to catch your tears and a sunset to brighten your life. If I can inspire, awaken, make the viewer feel, think, and bring solace, happiness, and peace to others as I have found myself while creating then I have achieved my artistic goal. – Artist, Photographer Nicole Martinelli

I create photos as peaceful, playful, healing stimuli while I make observations of humanity and the environment. Drawing upon different objects, I explore melding them into a unified whole. Part of my process is setting up compositions, in the form of an assemblage, visually weaving together beautiful glass, flowing fabric, with vibrant colors and patterns into integrated fluid formations seeking to reshape light, pattern, and color into a visual oasis. I then tightly crop and photograph. My intent is to transcend and transform objects into images that visually excite while calming the soul, often with a gentle message.

A lifelong passion for art and artists influenced my work. I nod to Miriam Schapiro, a leader in the Pattern and Decoration Movement. Having lived much of my life by the shore, I have always loved the play of light in watery reflections. I am drawn to artists who capture light; Stephen Rolfe Powell’s glass delights me. Mark Rothko believed in the visceral effect of color. He wanted people to have an experience within his pictures. I seek to have my work viscerally affect the viewer.

CromaLuxe high definition images printed on aluminum are my preferred substrate. The reflective surface enhances and enriches the dynamics of the glass used in my imagery. Images can be ordered in small jewel-like prints or large dynamic pieces.

As a RIKXECOM ultra-contemporary abstract art creator, I strive to create meaningful pieces of art that spark joy, imagination, and exploration. My artwork is a reflection of my spiritual journey, and I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature and the power of the human spirit. I strongly believe that the arts process feeds my escape, and I strive to create pieces that will speak to the hearts of my viewers.

As a multi-disciplinary North American-born artist based in Palm Beach, Florida, from a young age, I was inspired by my mother to explore the world of art and expression. My passion for art led me to open my own studio in 1982, where I was able to express myself through a variety of mediums.

By opting for non-toxic acrylic inks, I prioritize the use of materials that are safer for both me and the environment. This choice aligns with sustainability principles and reduces the environmental impact of art creation. The use of recyclable materials in the production of artwork frames is a sustainable choice. This ensures that the materials used in framing can be repurposed or recycled, contributing to a more circular and eco-friendly approach to art creation. The choice of user-friendly soft art canvas implies materials that are comfortable to work with while also being environmentally conscious. Materials that prioritize user-friendliness often enhance the artistic process while maintaining sustainability.

As the ultra-contemporary artist RIKXECOM, my artistic practice seamlessly integrates traditional and digital elements across diverse disciplines, crafting a distinctive and innovative body of work. The unique eye through which I view art is a synthesis of tradition and technology, resulting in a truly unparalleled artistic expression.
