Featured Artist of the Day: Miss Van

Miss Van

"In the early 1990s, I started discovering graffiti with friends of mine, tagging a little bit and following them, taking photos and stuff...Then I wanted to be a part of it...Painting on walls was a way to show that I was boycotting the conventional art world...It also enables me to make my art accessible to a larger public audience.

Graffiti has a very megalomaniac side; instead of writing my name, I chose to represent myself through my dolls...

My dolls convey a provocative image, sometimes a bit erotic. I wish they disturbed and provoked fantasies. I want them to make the viewer react, no matter the reaction, I would like them to make people forget their daily lives."

-Miss Van, from her official website.

Featured Artist of the Day: Alice Savage

Alice Savage

"I am a self taught artist based in Italy, where I work in a tiny home studio.

Attracted by the female figure, lover of dark corners and of the things you find there, I create my works in the quest for elegance and expression of our deepest, often hidden emotions.

I consider myself, more than an artist, an artisan of beauty. I see my work as a daily love declaration, a committment, the fullfilling of a deep interior need.

I believe in beauty.

I love animals and I think they are the best part of us.

I believe art can change lives."

- Alice Savage, from her official website.
