Expressionism is a trend in the art of the modernism era, which seeks not to reproduce reality, but to express the emotional state of the author.

Check out our earlier post to find out about how and why modernists reflected in Germany and Austria at the beginning of the last century. That post is dedicated to the 117th anniversary anniversary of the creation of the art group “Die Brücke”.

I tend to produce the unsayable, when all is said and done… The left-over of saying beyond the said.

Naladhipa — Female artist from Indonesia.

I want to express my feelings rather than with abstraction and cheerfulness. It doesn’t matter how each color blends and blends together when it’s scratched. As long as something is said and expressed to be a work of art.

Here I stand in restlessness between the dark and the light. Here my soul rejects all changes that bias my self which continues to be turbulent. I live in a mortal circle full of deceit.

This is the part of my life that undermines the pain that makes my broken faith.. I have tried to stand firm with one goal and choice. but in unrequited beliefs make all blisters with anger and swearing. Please give strength, and give confidence once again to prove that you are a role model and lord as the most perfect and a guide for life.

You are too disgusting, I will break through to fight and through this damn Hell. I will inhale the smell of Hell that you give, and I will gulp down all your tortures! I’m too tired to hide all the feelings you create. There is no strength to fight all the desires that hit. All your selfishness, all your arrogance, and all your greed for me. I am sick of!

Hear no sound my dear
Foot taps on the heartbeat
Feel the pain, joy, and glory
The rhythm of an elated soul

There she is again. Last night i lost her, after she got in the subway. Tonight I’m gonna follow her again, I wanna know where she lives.

Ilya Shkipin holds a BFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art in San-Francisco and currently lives and works in Hayward, California.
Ilya employs gestural paint application to interpret the spectrum of emotional response through amorphous imagery. In his paintings, he depicts reality by placing anguished figures in dream-like empty, distorted spaces. Figures blend into their environments like the way memories spontaneously pass into and out of oblivion.

The sunflowers will bloom again.

They will grow from the dead flesh of those who dared to bring war and blood, and they will bloom stronger than ever before. Sunflowers will bloom on the blood-soaked soil of war.

They will be as tall as trees, their burning heads reaching into the sky. The sunflowers will be so tall that you cannot see over them, but you can hear their song — it is a song of peace and hope, a song of victory over death and destruction.

The wind is blowing hard from the south. It carries with it a smell of burnt wood and ash, of smoke that rises from the remains of cities destroyed by bombs. They were trampled and crushed underfoot by those who brought war and bloodshed, but now they’re back with a vengeance. Now they’re growing up through the muck of their own spilled blood, and they’re going to bloom even stronger than they ever could before.
