Biography

My name is Alissa Rindels, I am 26 years old, and I am just a local artist who struggles to be known. I sell my artwork on my personal website, Ebay, and various online art galleries.
My main influence artistically is Brom, and I always keep in mind his idea that it is not the technique that is especially important, but the end result. I love working with many materials: Pastels, ink, oil and acrylic paint, watercolor, pencil, etc. and so I try not to have a rigid plan when I am working on a piece, but focus mainly on flow and color to see where the medium and current takes me. For me, it is the most exciting, and satisfying, to watch something happen in front of you that you were not expecting, but that you can be pleasantly surprised with and proud of.
I believe that art should not be judge solely on the artistic know how or technique execution, but by what emotion the flow of colors and subject carries for the artist and his/her viewers. That is what art is meant to be after all, a vessel of emotions, thoughts, or dreams. Nothing is more rewarding, than for a viewer to tell you how your artwork makes them feel, or what thoughts it brings to mind.
To know the artist, see their work. That is what they say. Stripped down, I suppose my art is an attempt to illustrate the difficulty finding beauty in a world that is primarily dark and ugly.
It has been brutal at times....trying to commercialize things that are precious to you, a part of you, if not a small glimspe into your own soul. My own life the past few years has been heart renching, lonely, and unforgiving...and I suppose if a small bit of that reaches the patron from the paper, then I have done my job as an artist.
Everyone who knows me, knows that Brom is my hero, and he is a large influencing factor in my art, especially when I am getting discouraged. Some other artistic influences of mine are Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Justiniano etc.
