Humanity is composed of creative explorers and symbol makers. We have been this way since the beginnings of our existence as a race and before. This is the cornerstone of what it is to be a thinking human being. My goal has always been to create works that contain the essences of good poetry. A balance of opposites, in a style that is recognizable, yet not necessarily realistic. I find the most effective way of doing this is by using a pseudo primitive style which on the surface seems simple, but in reality resonates deeper emotions. Derr’s works have won numerous awards and have been exhibited internationally. His works have been included in; Gallery and Studio Magazine, Photoshop User, and Digital Fine Arts Magazine. He was recently commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra to created a painted violin for their annual Art String Initiative.

I create extremely small art works. They are as small as 40 microns tall. More than 100 of these can fit on a pin head. They have details on the nanoscale. The works are made with a process I invented called nanoentonography. I originally developed the process for anticounterfeiting. After doing more complex pieces for industrial use, I decided to create artworks using the technique. The most complex works take months to create.

Teresa’s way to the artistic cognition was a complex process, guided by her passion of gaining knowledge and understanding the world. This has resulted from one hand in her PhD in Nature Science received from the Düsseldorf University, from the other hand in growing love for art. She mainly paints with acrylics, where quick decision making is needed, but also enjoy watercolors. Her art teachers were Manuel Aguilar (oil), Iva Mrazkova (watercolors) and Ivana Cekovic (history of art). Teresa’s artworks mostly start with discovering or rediscovering nature. If it is to use a brush or a painting knife, acrylic or watercolor, it is always the subject that defines styles and techniques of her work. Every time she paints, her goal is to stimulate the emotion of the viewer. The process of creating pictures is endlessly fascinating to her. Every person who enjoys her work is a reword to her efforts.

Dr. Björn Dämpfling grew up in Northern Germany, he lives and works since 1969 in Berlin/Germany. 1983/4 and 1987-91 he lived in the USA. Spending 2/3 of his time on science, one third on art and for the last ten years now, art is his published main profession, since then numerous Exhibitions worldwide, for example in London, New York and Beijing. Identifiable but unpredictable, even for him self, no “style” but the hunt for really new images all the time with every new image having to prove the core value of creativity for him: freedom of creation, newness, and being recognizable at the same time, based on complexity and quality of composition. The mainly digital production technique of his art removes borders between media, combines for example drawing on paper with digital drawing. Or he uses photography, in a pure manner as well as a basis for further digital alterations, for example in NanoArt.

I have been a painter throughout my life. Fourteen years ago I started making art on the computer and now work that way exclusively. For me science and art are doorways to dimensions beyond everyday realities.

I am a PhD student in the School of Pharmacy, (Nottingham University, UK) developing nanoarrays to be addressed by super-resolutions techniques. The production of modified nanoparticles incorporating photoswitchable dyes and polymeric films are place together to create new nanosensors. I view most of my samples using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques, my second eyes to explore the nanoworld. My interest in designing and generating new nanodevices is my goal at the moment. Besides of my passion for Nanotechnology, Art has always played a huge role in my life; even before knowing what science was. As a kid I always remember to take some paper and pencils with me to draw wherever I can. I keep drawing times a time, black ink drawings, oil paintings, and I also participate with others collaborators in a local fanzine back home. When I discovered science I was quite divided in which path to follow in my future. I choose Science due to my high curiosity in understanding things, but always kept Art near by…

Jack Mason has been creating his "nanographs" since 2002. As a journalist covering the commercialization of nanotech for Small Times, Technology Review, the Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report and others, he became fascinated with the scientific images that were part of the stories he was reporting. Now with IBM's consulting unit, Global Business Services, Jack is continuing to explore and explain innovation frontiers such as IBM's Smarter Planet initiative, which is focused on building the intelligent infrastructure for a new energy grid, electronic health data and patient records, and the "new intelligence" for business analytics, forecasting and modeling.

I am 20 years old,a final year B.Tech biotechnology student of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Art has been my passion since childhood. Whenever I see a diagram or microscopic structures in books or even a patch on the wall, I used to see a world beyond the strokes and lines and the colours. A world which only I could see which communicates a lot of things. Thanks to NanoArt for giving me an oppurtunity to express that fantasy world and turn it into artwork so that everyone else can enjoy what only I saw before. This fusion of art and science is great. As a nature lover, I would like to express my concern for the welfare of the earth as a whole. I make sure I have a theme in most of my artworks that people should not only enjoy but also think upon. I believe art is the most understandable and effective form of communicating things to people without par and it could me made use of efficiently through NanoArt like platforms.
