Amos gerhard chodziesen

1922-1985

Gerhard Amos Chodziesen was born in 1922 in Berlin, Germany. As a child, Amos grew up in an orphanage in Berlin. In 1933 the Nazis came to power, and led to a gradual worsening in the social, economical and legal status of Jews of Germany. This was a crucial factor in the migration of the majority of Jews to Israel. As part of the "Youth Aliyah" – a factory of raising children and teenagers Jews to Israel, Amos came to the Land of Israel and settled in Kibbutz "Mishmar Haemek". He believed in the Hebrew language and decided to change his name from Gerhard to Amos. His memories of the Germans were very severe, and he was motivated to establish his life in Israel and to be a partner in its establishment as a Jewish state. He was educated in Israel, became a youth guide and moved to the “Montefiore Windmill”. Amos married Sarah Chodziesen, who also created art, and they had three children. The British authorities who ruled in Israel at the time, has recruited Amos and, among other things, he was sent to military operations in Egypt and Morocco. Later on he lived in a small apartment in Tel Aviv and worked as a journalist for the newspaper "Al Hamishmar" (on guard). After that, Amos worked at the port of Tel Aviv and the port of Jaffa. During the 60`s, Amos received compensation from Germany. Only then, For the first time, he traveled to Europe to visit his mother and his step-family. After Amos`s mother died, he lost contact with his half-brothers and step-father. Also, in the 60`s, Amos began studying industrial engineering and management, by correspondence studies. He became an engineer and worked in the port of Ashdod as a production manager and head of the port`s Workers Union. The second thing Amos learned by correspondence, was painting - and in those years Amos began painting in his home studio. Amos was painting on canvas with oil paints, and also, he sometimes used charcoal colors. Amos died from a stroke in 1985, leaving behind a vast collection of paintings, standing today as a window in time, overlooking the period of his life.

• May his memory be blessed

Soul flying

How to Read Honokaku

Mean heavily surprised, fearing.

"Soul" is a soul rising to heaven after death.

Eiji Yasumori

Eiji Yasumori was born in Fukuoka, Japan. Forced to stay at home due to illness, he began to draw. He was inspired by the images of Anime on TV and the final scene in the film, “A Dog of Flanders,” the depiction of Peter Paul Rubens’ “Descent” left him awestruck. It was the source of inspiration for the world of fantasy he draws today.After graduating from Kyushu Sangyo University, where he studied Foundation of Art, he worked in the advertising industry, adding to his skill set through the years.After accumulating enough experience, he decided to do freelance work and has been ever since. His work takes him to the limitless world of the imaginary, filled with fairies, goddesses, mermaids, and angels.Yasumori brings this world to life through expressive use of vibrant colors, masterful layouts, and traditional craftsmanship, all digitally executed. Inspired by the masters of the past, reality and fantasy intertwine to bring out his original world, to which he is a keen observer and hopefully, the viewer will be as well.

Erik Teodoru

Born in 1966, I“celebrate”, in September 2018,28 years of working in safety railway systems area.

My job is to bring people home ALIVE. This job require strictness –you cannot play here, you must respect the rules and ensure that all your team respect them. So my inner me needed a “contra-weight” to balance this strictness. Drawing / painting has became, in time, a suitable option. I choose the digital space and I developed in that direction in the last 5 years. I do my best to constantly learn and to improve myself by all available means – persons, books, videos, etc.

I am Romanian and I have worked in several countries (always for rail). Now I live in Germany. I run in present several projects (“Fluid spices and harmonious condiments”,“Feelings, Motions and Emotions”; “Ellipse”; “The other Stuttgart”, “Dirndl”, “Stuttgart breath”) and I am also having some new interesting ideas for the future.

About me
I was born a little bit latter in 1996, Sariyer - Istanbul / Turkiye and grow up there.
My first job was as a sailor in oil tankers, but after many years of differ career I ended up as a lifeguard in a swimming pool.

For anyone who wonders: Yes I am very happy with my job because it gives me great freedom to do art. Art was always something I took pleasure in as young and has now found back to it.
Between my birth and now I have met Linn Anette ( the love of my life) and gotten two amazing children, My daughter Elvan Alexandra and her little brother Eskil Tolunay.

My work
After many years of writing poems and writing and composing experimental music, I got in to digital abstract art.
It started out as an experiment, but is now a great passion of mine.
I like abstract art because you can not figure it out the first time you see it. You have to look closely to find the hidden treasures in the art.
I deliberately make my works in black & white and ( some times blended with colors) to force the viewer to look deeper. ,

Mabvuto Jamala

My name is Mabvuto Jamala, a Zimbabwean, 40 years of age and I am a Artist. I do stone sculpting, weld Art and mixed media

I started doing Art in 1999,after I was inspired by my fellow brothers, who are also Artist's

In 2000,I worked under the mentorship of one of Zimbabwe's renowned Artist the late Amos Supuni, may his dear soul rest in eternal peace. I cherish the time I worked under my mentor, it is during that time that I started to take Art serious and as a profession. During that time, I mastered the skills of Art and how to develop and maintain my originality in my creative work

In 2001,I then decided to start my own workshop, since I felt that I had gained some knowledge to go on.during the same year, I was part of a group of 15 Artist's, who went for a 5 months campaign in the mountains of Mvurwi here in Zimbabwe. There, we we're creating sculptures is the raw stones that we would have found in the mountains. It was a great experience for me,working together with different Artist's, sharing ideas and experiences regarding Art

After the 5 months period, went back to Harare the capital city, were we held an exhibition and managed to make sells and make new contacts. Since then, I have grown up to be a better Artist and do Art full time

Due to the economic crisis situation in my country, I am struggling to sell my work. I am now appealing to Art buyers and promoters out there, to please buy my work, so that I can acquire more raw stones, materials, tools for my work and develop my workshop

It is my hope to be a international renowned Artist only the sky is the limit and your help will be greatly honored and appreciated

Thank you All in advance

Per Ole Gmelok‏

49 years old, from Flensburg , Germany, likes in Berlin.

Self taught abstract painter and digital artist.

First Paintings at the age of 22.

i like to paint on canvas, sometimes in wood. mostly with Acryl, sometimes Oil. i like abstract art, and that's what i am doing.

I also like to create abstract art with digital equipment. with PC, Laptop, Mobile, Apps, Editing Programms, etc. i like to do completely different art to my paintings. taking photos of it and edit it.

I also like to work with other Artists, putting together their work and mine to create completely new Art.

i see different things in their art and i want to put it on another level, a new Level. i respect the Art of other artists but i allways want to create something new with that. i know, that some people, some artists don't know, what my intention is. maybe because this art, this style isn't very wellknown right now.

This three Paintings are some special pieces, all done with a very powerful Passion and lotsof colours.

The title "Overload" stands for my kind of Art. I like minimalism.But i couldn't do this. I allways want to go further, taking shapes and colours to another level. And in the end i have used many colours.

Orit Simchoni‏

For years I worked as a Doctor of Archaeobotany at Bar-Ilan University. The special attachment to painting was formed by accident. Until ten years ago I was not absolutely sure that I was even capable of painting. It all started with a wood painting course that involved painting mainly flowers. Soon enough the wood turned into canvas and the flowers slowly transformed into figures, landscapes and so on.

Later on, I took some more painting courses, and began to discover this new hobby of mine. In time, a new passion evolved, and I felt that there was something in me that just had to burst out. For years, this feeling persisted and kept enticing me to study something that relates to the soul, to the spirit; something that would combine with the artistic side of me.

That is how I reached the art therapy studies in Beit-Berl college. Today I am an active artist as well as an art therapist in my own clinic. The blend of the fields of biology and art therapy, receives a large emphasis in my nature and landscape inspired art. Countless times, I find myself drawing ideas and inspirations while observing the microscopic world in the lab.

Sometimes, I do not intentionally plan the painting. I begin to spread colors on the canvas into a formless stain. This nameless stain becomes attached to a new stain and yet another, and this new group of stains begins to create a world full of figures, shapes and landscapes. Suddenly the canvas comes to life, and in this exceptional moment I understand the reason I became an artist.

Through the last couple of years I have participated in several exhibitions as well as selling my art in a number of galleries in Israel and overseas. Additionally I wish to continue helping children with special needs, so for every painting I sell , part of the profit will be donated to the Chan-Yotam organization for special needs children.

Finally, I would like to quote a memorable sentence by Claude Monet, whom I humbly cherish: "Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love"

Not giving up

I almost gave up this time, I had something in my head, some picture I saw before my eyes. I started painting with the picture in my head accompanying me all the way. When I looked at the work at the end and compared what I had seen in my mind's eye it was not really the same. The truth is, I was upset, I almost gave up, I thought I'd go and draw something else, but somehow something inside me decided not to give up. I looked again and took a brush and the result was in front of you.

Thomas Edison was so right about what he said- "Our biggest weakness is giving up. The surest way to success is always to try just one more time. "

To the life off the little things

Many times we are busy with worry and thoughts for the future. Busy with something that has not actually happened yet. Something that is only in our minds. We are so preoccupied with these thoughts that we forget the here and now and do not enjoy the existence that is right here in our hands.

From the simple things so ordinary in us that we are so used to them that they are so understood that we do not give them importance and appreciate them. But it is precisely these little things that are really great.

For the "small" things, acrylic on canvas, 90x100 cm.

Wonderful world

It started as a landscape painting, I moved away to look and felt that I was missing something. I took the brush and added figures. For some reason, it felt right to draw them small. I walked back and looked at the work. The first feeling that gripped me was how small we were as human beings against the power of the universe.

Wynford Vaughan Thomas

The Deep is the contrast between the conscious and sub conscious mind.

The Sea is symbolic of fear in a Romantic sense,while the Sky under

the Influence of the Moon holds calm and peace.

The Escape represents breaking away from material gain and conformity.

Being liberated from the chains of greed and avarice in surch of truth.

To catch a wave is symbolic of religion.In essance to try and understand

faith with reason.
