Time is one of my greatest enemies — there are never enough hours in the day to paint all the images in my head. When you dream at night, do you ever see any of the magical elements that you paint in your paintings?
If so, could you explain? When I dream at night I often find myself working out my next painting. What have you learned about yourself through your art and creative process? I was lucky enough to be born with a gift that gives me pleasure every day, and hopefully others also. Was the inner critic ever a problem for you? How did you get past the voice of the inner critic?
How do you advice others to silence their inner critic? I have never come across the inner critic in myself, but my advice to any artist I meet is to just enjoy every moment of creativity — be true to yourself and have faith in your own ability, and take no notice of adverse comments. What do you want your art to accomplish? What do you want your legacy to be?
Every year I make a New Years resolution to paint more paintings. I feel I have achieved pretty much everything I ever dreamt of and beyond. I have my own gallery, meet lovely people from many countries, and can still paint every day — what more could I want? Is there anything that you would like to add to the end of this interview? Artists have been given a fabulous gift, but with it come great responsibilities. We have the chance to change the world by portraying images of how life could be and how it should be.
No message is more powerful or has more impact than an image created by an artist driven by a desire to preserve all that is good in our world, and to vanquish all that is against nature. So another theme dear to my heart is to include a message encouraging conservation, as I wish that mankind would do everything possible to protect our precious and beautiful planet, and heal the damage we have already inflicted.
My main concerns are pollution and de-forestation. I wish that man would no longer be ruled by greed, but just enjoy the simple things in life — most of which are free. We seem to be living in a throwaway world where skill and craftsmanship are undervalued.

I have given her cards to friends, amazed at the complexity and beauty of her work. Subscribe 26 Embed. Modern artist and fantasy sculptor working at the intersection of symbolism and surrealism. Features of creativity: Influenced by the creativity of the Pre-Raphaelites and the surrealists, the artist formed her bright and recognizable style of painting.
Plots Josephine Wall - it is always openwork and multicolored fairy-tale worlds, inspired by the myths, legends and fantasy of the artist herself. Fairies, nymphs, goddesses, children, wanderers, loving couples among the elegant interweaving of flowers; the graceful symbols of the elements and constellations are emphasized, the light and somewhat oversaturated beauty of the fairy tale At the same time, the artist often hides symbols and images behind an abundance of colors and details, forcing the viewer to look at each picture with enthusiasm for a long time.
Examples of pictures: "Winged Vision" , "Small world" , "Where the moon goes". Already at the age of 4, the future creator of fairy-tale worlds was fascinated by drawing, and at 16 she sold the first painting.
Received an art education in Bournemouth College, took ceramics, sculpture, painting and design. In the s, almost completely abandoned all classes in favor of painting.
According to one of the versions, the young artist made the final choice of the genre at the moment when the unicorn was drawn to the picture that was not sold for a long time.
He paints his air paintings with acrylic paints, while not using black and pure red. It does not create sketches, but makes the choice of colors and the creation of shades in the process of work. In his own words, he aims to demonstrate all the wealth, beauty, tenderness and fragility of the nature around us. He works in the studio of his family home in the south of the UK.

A painting of Enchanted Manor by Josephine Wall. Soon after she met Dr. Pat Sager, in Pennsylvania who was willing to promote her work in the U. Josephine now lives in Wisteria Cottage with her husband where she works in her attic studio. The attic has a pyramid style roof, which is a source of inspiration to Josephine built specifically for the purpose of her studio. The rest of the cottage also gives her inspiration as well she has beautiful gardens as well as being close to the sea and astonishing forests and hills in every direction.
She loves being in the nature of her cottage her inspiration for the mythical creature she creates comes from the close inspection of nature and how she wants to preserve it.
She hopes she is able to inspire others in a personal journey into the enchanting world of their own imagination. While painting her work Wall uses acrylic to give texture to her paintings along with the fact that acrylic dries faster and allows her to work quicker. Her painting take her anywhere from weeks to complete depending on the subject and size.
Josephine says that there is never enough time in the day to paint all the images in her head. By using mythology in her work Wall is able to dig deeper into symbolism and stories of her work creating not only beautiful pieces of work but also, meaningful ones. The riches of earth give her the power to tell of wonders of the heavens.
She conjures up the images of the spirits, the animal guardians, the spider woman who wove the stars and, in a cloud of snow-white feathers, adorned with turquoise, a moon maiden- the most beautiful of women. Without a deliberate central theme, it becomes whatever the viewer wishes it to be; and is open to many varied interpretations. In fact, I allow the painting to paint itself. For example the hands forming a bridge across the river were initially not connected to the face in the sky, but later when I decided to paint her shoulder, suddenly, one of them became her hand.
The little girl was nearly riding a bear or an elephant, but finally it had to be a deer.
