Artistic Influences

This is one of things I truly love about the web. I remember when I was a student at art school, and the web was just getting into public view, and I thought how great it will be one day when there are websites for all the great artists of our times, both living and dead.

I remember mostly painters first, as that was one area of focus for me as a student, but there are performance artists, videographers, multimedia installation artists, photographers and many other contemporary artists in a variety of creative fields whom will eventually be noted here as well.

Salvador Dali - Spanish surrealist painter/charlatan!
