Gergana Vladova
"Delicate
colouring, a slightly tangible mystical reality and a world full of spiritual
messages and positive energy – this is the leading principle in Gergana
Vladova’s painting.
In her paintings we
can find the energy which unites and creates the inner power necessary for the
inspiration, enlightenment and love in life.
An exquisite dialogue
with time and space – that is the most precise definition of the style and
character in Gergana Vladova’s paintings.
Her colourful
impressions take us along the path of search and discovery until they reach a
complex universe where we find a lot of light, metaphysical expression and
created harmony. A lot of spaces and worlds are combined in them – a
metaphorical passage through time and space.
The approach
characteristic of the author while developing the composition carries the
specific character of an artist with a strongly expressed feeling of colour and
colour harmony.
A manifestation of her
hidden inner energy is the taste for the unsuspected power of colour, the
delicate blending and transitions from a shade to shade as well as the
attainment of peculiar sensitivity to the overall development and organisation
of the compositional space."

Nena Stojanovic
Nena was born on
September 28th, 1973 in Ivanjica,Serbia.
The daughter of an
engineer, painter and wood craftsman, Nena grew up being amazed by the art
created around her. The arts existed in the lives of many in her family
circles, always feeding and influencing her growth and development as an
artist. When at school, this was evident as her curiosity urged her to be the
best in her classes. She was always involved in the arts and her artwork was
always featured in displays. In 1987, when she was a sixth grade student,
Nena’s project was selected in the contest "Best children's drawings of
Yugoslavia" to be printed in the book "Poems for grandfather” by
famous Serbian poet, Milovan Vitezovic. Outside art, Nena excelled in
gymnastics where she collected 10 medals, a broken tooth, and what became an
interest in dentistry.
Nena graduated from
the Medical School of Belgrade earning a degree as a dental technician.
Just prior to the year
2000, Nena left her homeland Serbia to move to Nafplio, the first capital of
Greece, where she still lives today, happily married and a mother of two
beautiful children.
The first years in
Greece were very difficult for Nena. To make ends meet she worked hard as a
carpenter and a furniture painter among other occupations. These experiences
also shaped her and fed her creative experiences, allowing her to experiment
more with her art. In 2010, when she received a long term residence permit,
Nena decided to start painting and pursuing her art.
Mateus Teixeira Cavalo
I am an art Student, a
life student, an observer.
I write, paint and
make music with the elements at my disposal, tending to be somewhat a
meditative art, minimalistic zen, driven by the desire to infect people with
simplicity and novelty.
I try to keep my mind
open to the simple, and my motto is: "If you are not in awe, you are not
paying attention."
Thank you, for
existing alongside me.

Maribeth Amber
“I
am driven to create on a daily basis. Summers find me designing and planting in
the garden or collecting driftwood to be made into paintings and sculpture. By
late autumn, I am ready to move into my clay studio, or to start painting.”
Maribeth
Amber spent childhood summers in Maine building magnificent sand castles.
Today, she continues to be inspired by the ocean’s ceaseless crashing waves,
the glowing stars at night, the myriad of colorful laughing flowers, growing
vegetables, and the quietness of freshly fallen snow. As a teacher for 22
years, she has recently returned to focusing full-time on her own creations.
In
her most recent work Maribeth has explored her fascination with trees and the
particular shapes and patterns of branches as they grow toward the sun. She
plays with color, rhythm and movement – inventing, finding beauty in ordinary
shapes, creating mysterious worlds, and painting the mundane beautiful.
Maribeth
Amber attended Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, The Art Institute in
Boston, Massachusetts, and the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. She received
her B.A. from the Framingham State University in Massachusetts with a major in
art and a minor in education.

Le sue opere sono volte alla ricerca del "Bello" e mirate
verso la perfezione che la vita stessa ci offre, con lo sguardo rivolto verso
gli elementi creaturali che ci circondano e che permettono all'essere umano la
capacità di trascendere, di andare oltre e quindi di avvertire questa tensione
verso l'Infinito che è insita nell'uomo stesso.

Monica Sarandrea
Lives and works in
Rome. Since her childhood she shows good skills in drawing and painting, and a
special interest in landscapes. Following her passion for literature in 1997
she graduates from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” with a MA in Foreign
Languages and Literatures.
After many trips to
Paris, from 2005 to 2010 she attends the art courses at La Porta Blu Art School
where she is tutored by artist Alberto Parres. She develops her painting skills
working on colour perception and depth of field, gradually moving from
figurative art to abstraction. At the same time she studies engraving with
artist Roberto Pace and from 2011 she starts working on sculpture focusing on
materials such as clay and marble.
The source of her work
is literature, particularly French poetry, and Hindu spirituality. To her
poetry as art is seen as a means to explore the unknown: the artist becomes a
mediator between the sensible world and a suprasensible dimension. Her works
are the result of a spiritual research which has become crucial in her life.

Vincenzo Ruggieri
L'operazione artistica di Vincenzo Ruggieri affonda le sue radici nel
passato e precisamente nella tradizione del mosaico. Egli però usa tale tecnica
in maniera nuova, sostituendo alle tradizionali tessere marmoree, frammenti
informi di pietre colorate. Così i colori naturali sapientemente accostati
danno vita a visioni di una realtà oggettiva sempre attenta al dato
naturalistico che evidenzia l'appartenenza dell'artista alla schiera di
operatori che prediligono un rapporto diretto con la natura, interpretata
sempre con lirismo e immediatezza percettiva. Notevole, nelle sue opere, l'uso
del chiaro-scuro, mezzo questo che, gli consente di infondere alle immagini
quel senso plastico che le fa emergere imponendole all'occhio dell'osservatore.
Le diverse tonalità delle pietre utilizzate con certosina pazienza, unitamente
ad equilibrati contrasti, danno all'opera di Ruggieri, senso di profondità
prospettica, pervenendo a risultati finali carichi d'inventiva compositiva,
sempre, comunque, nel rispetto dei canoni della visione. In sostanza siamo di
fronte ad una produzione piacevole, appagante la vista, pregnante di
sentimento, portatrice di istanze proprie della gente del Sud. E' facile identificarsi
nell'opera di Ruggieri, dato che la stessa non occulta intellettualismi di
correnti artistiche, ma al contrario è sintesi di mestiere, quello del
mosaicista, e di una sensibilità propria della gente, che nelle immagini
ricerca immediatà fruibilità, per appagare il proprio gusto estetico. (Commento
critico del Prof. Nicola Cesari)

Silvia Logi
Is
self-taught artist from Florence. The initial spark for her art was the
intuition that the materials found in nature could become the “building blocks”
of the works that already took shape in
her mind. Silvia’s art and technique emanate from the observation of perfection
that already resides within a natural element: the veins of a leaf, a
spiral-shaped seed or the concentric circles inside wood. She started in late
2005 and soon after she decided she wanted to
transform this intuition and passion into a job. Silvia challenges
herself to value these elements leaving
them recognizable in her work but at the same time making them basic language
to depict every time different subjects: an acorn can become the eye of an owl,
a pine cone becomes the fin of a fish ... The challenge also lies in the large
number of materials contamination with a great sense of the game but at the
same time research of harmony. Thanks to
the endless possibilities of the wood malleability combined to the
revolutionary contamination with other materials, Silvia invented her
expressive language of "materic fusion " which sails on free route
between art and craft, overcoming and
erasing their boundaries.
Her
works seem to be a magical dialogue between Man and Nature, where the latter is
the language but ALSO the main subject.
Silvia’s “child soul” is
especially evident in the Fairy Tales and Legends "illustrated" on
old boards with vertical orientated landscapes that seem to reach a higher and
higher "Elsewhere", which is reachable but at the same time elusive
and, for this reason, the inspiration for a new work . Other
"families" of subjects are the
colorful dreamy animals and finally the
cities and skylines made of boards, pallets , doors and windows frames, where
the human element harmoniously coexists
with Nature.
Since 2007 Silvia exhibits her work in
personal and collective Art exhibitions . Thanks to the web diffusion ,
Silvia’s artworks are known and purchased by customers in various corners of the planet. On May 2013 a short documentary on Silvia’s unusual
artistic path came to life from a
project of the young director Jaclyn Edmonson and her team of Middle Tennessee
State University, led by the famous documentary filmmaker Tom Neff (Founder of
the Documentary Channel and nominated for an Academy Award with one of his
documentaries). The title is SBOCCIARE (Italian word for : “to blossom” , the
short film is about pursuing the “art within” despite all odds ) and it should
be aired on PBS network in the United States after having already collected
major awards on the Independent Cinema Festivals circuit (below: poster of the
documentary with some of the won awards). In October 2014 Silvia is asked to
take part to an independent film by the
Californian producer and Director Christopher Pratt. Silvia plays the role of
an artist that just as she works with the language of Nature: a small part that
was specifically "sewn on." her. The film will see the light in 2015.
Stefano Pani
Nel
suo trattato di pittura Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) scrive: "Farai le
figure in tal atto, il quale sia sufficiente a dimostrare quello che la figura
ha nell'animo; altrimenti la tua arte non sarà laudabile".
Da
questa concezione di pensiero parte la mia osservazione e percezione dell'arte
di Stefano Pani.
Stefano
Pani nato ad Orroli il 29 Aprile 1977 , nell'anno 2007-2008 consegue il diploma
presso il liceo artistico Fois Fois di Cagliari raggiungendo ottimi risultati.
Il suo amore per l'arte fiorisce in tenera età e si rafforza partecipando ad
alcuni corsi di disegno e pittura ad olio con relative estemporanee. Possiede
un ottima conoscenza di diverse tecniche quali: carboncino, pastelli, creta,
acquerello e olio, predilige la pittura iperrealista è un eccellente
ritrattista in particolar modo dipinge personaggi tipici della sua terra, la
Sardegna. Essendo un iperrealista punta a riprodurre la figura umana e in
generale tutta la realtà con una precisione estrema, raggiungendo la
riproduzione perfetta della realtà, bisogna osservare attentamente le sue opere
per assicurarsi che si tratti di dipinti e non di fotografie. Uomini e donne
vengono rappresentati nella loro concreta, umile, realtà quotidiana dove i
gesti più semplici rievocano i sentimenti più profondi. La sua vasta produzione
di ritratti di volti tipici della Sardegna mette in risalto la sua identità e
le sue origini, attraverso le sue opere possiamo leggere nell'anima delle
persone dipinte non solo le caratteristiche psicologiche, la personalità ma
soprattutto lo Spirito di un popolo, orgoglio e tradizione diventano impronte
indelebili, dettagli inconfondibili.
Mina Lagarde Bouhaddane
Childness is my
favorite theme for trying to depict emotions. Contrasting theme of innocence
and the hard world where we live. I use oil colors on linen canvas. I am
influenced by figurative, realism and street art. Thanks to the teaching of the
latvian artist Dita Luse, tirelessly I explore colors, light and material. My
work is multi-layered. Like a child, working out of the past and the futur,
print the present word with its hopes and desillusionment.
Katika (Ekaterina Penzina)
Graphic ,painter and
crochet artist from Yaroslavl (Russia).
Born in Hungary . Since 2006 member of national and international
exhibitions and art projects. The idea of creation came during my pregnancy,
when the usual "aggressive" chemical paints and varnishes are
prohibited. During this period, generally, women tend to do something
"warm" and cozy: knitting or sewing. However, the inner artist
demanded creativity. In this dialogue of inner artist and female nature my
technique and these works were born.
