@ernestcompta

Catalan artist and architect, I live and work in Barcelona.

My works try to express social and emotional diversity through the face.

Over the years I have moved between styles and formats, but I have always worked with the same theme: facial portrait. I work mainly with acrylics on canvas and paper, although some pieces are made with charcoal, oil, pastel and inks.

My stylistic influences include abstraction and expressionism. The range of anonymous faces runs on the identity of the characters. I try to express through facial features, looks and gestures, the nuances, complexity and contrasts of the emotional state of the subjects as a reflection of the mood and essential human aspects.

Featured Artist | Nicole Sullivan

Being born in Truth or Consequences has shaped my outlook on life to be a black and white Rube Goldberg machine. I have always studied and been drawn to the Truth.

My work has focused on human struggles with societal pitfalls induced by the conception of morality, and the enforced standards we try and fail to uphold ourselves. Growing up poverty-stricken and at the hands of extreme child abuse, I feel an urgency in addressing these issues and thus issues of morality before true societal progress can be achieved. I believe that what are referred to as the Seven Deadly Sins along with Karma will define the trials and tribulations a person will interact with in their lifetime, and the demons they will struggle with along that path.

My intentions are to spread the word about the struggles within each of us to remain human at all times, and at times, at all cost. Is it okay to help those who admit struggle? Can we be judgmental without being unfair? I want the viewer to understand truths within themselves through my art, to progress and have a life free of burden. I want the viewer to achieve a visual nirvana and ascend to their further purpose.

Featured Artist | Robert Gorchov

I’m a self-taught artist and have been drawing and painting for four decades. I’m interested in the process that creates a painting. Although it involves imagination, this process is affected by chance, so that when I begin a picture I have only a half-formed image of what the finished painting might look like. The completed piece only slightly resembles the image that I had in mind when I began it. I think of this as improvisation. Over the years that I’ve been painting, I’ve learned to trust the brush and the materials – to let them take the lead – and not to think too much about how it will end up . . . until I get to that end.

This is part of what makes painting interesting for me.

@xavier_Yarto

A Mexican painter who has managed to put in purely abstract work a very unique through the creation of particular colors that give great strength and impact to your work touch.

The author seeks to bring a point beyond abstract art by combining this technique with a job in high relief of pre-Hispanic culture, which he turned in its theme transforms in concept and reinforced with a new set of colors that the artist creates otherwise to highlight the meaning of each icon used in his work.

Artist ambassador in Tintoretto pennelli, Italy

Giorgio Vasari award winner 2019

Global art award nomination 2017 &18

Award winner images of the world, Bangkok, Thailand. 2019

After presenting several important and renowned places worldwide including Mexico, the U.S, Netherlands, Spain, England, Austria, Belgium, France (Louvre Museum in Paris), Italy (Palazzo della Cancelleria di Roma, Palazzo della Cancelleria Vaticana, Museo Villa Pisani di Venice) Denmark, Sweden, South Korea, Bangkok, Thailand.

No doubt his work hits again, because it not only offers the viewer the quality of an abstract work but takes the enigmatic world of pre-Columbian art . A job as its author calls it, ” a recreation of the Hispanic culture with a modern language.”

So Xavier Yarto contributes to art works full of color, strength and content. An artist who searches every new best to previous work.

Featured Artist | Veronique Ivanović

Veronique Ivanović | Atlanta, GA
@vivanovic2

Veronique Ivanović, K75 is a citizen of the world who started creating art at a young age. She was born and lived in Paris/France, London/Great Britain, then moved the United States.

She has been a professor/interpreter and volunteer of French language in New York City, and Atlanta, where she resides. Discovering and taking a deep appreciation for the surrealist movement, Veronique Ivanović K75 abstract art is inspired by geometric structures with experimentation of both subtle and bold integration of lines and colors.

Veronique Ivanović K75 has been working on found and recycled materials for a long time, favoring acrylics paint and collage.

For her, giving discarded things a second chance will help ameliorate the sustainability issues humanity has bequeathed itself. And, also allowing these otherwise discarded things another likelihood.

I was told by professional artists and, gallery owners that an artist should not be all over the place with her/his body of work, because she/he looses her/his audience.

It is very difficult for me to do just that, as I have a Ying/Yang personality type.

Because of difficult times in my life picking up a pencil, a brush, and my camera helped me translate feelings and emotions; captured things that I see and, one might not see, or be trying not to see!

I create, take pictures of what my instant awareness dictates me at that very moment, an intricate, mix of geometrical forms and unusual colors, a bug resting on a person, a graffiti in an abandoned building, or a person lost in her/his thought. This sometimes, drives me to work in series.

I am always fascinated by the dichotomy of the world! Hazy heat and reflections; lights being jealous of the shadows, strong colors against a cloudless sky, chaos and serenity. I like the architectural, the body of human nature, the landscapes that can be found in cities, people and nature alike. I have found myself attracted by multicultural and, multi societal consciousness.

My work, tender, eloquent, provocative and painful at times mirrors my “many lives” and my many foreign travels, as well as my view on cultural, social, and political issues.

Take the time to see me through.

Featured Artist | Don Bergland

Don Bergland’s psychological creations rely upon the viewer’s internal ability to engage willingly in the process of metaphysical reflection. His dark images, featuring youthful characters, aged mentors, oddly assembled creatures, and quaintly juxtaposed objects, are rendered in precise detail in captured moments of frozen time, mechanical statements voicing eternity, death, childhood, and absurdity in the unfolding of the human drama, an uneasy combination laid before the viewer in a exposure of theatrical puppetry.

Featured Artist – Sue Moerder

I grew up in an Art home with a Photographer Father, an Elementary School Art Teacher Mother, and Artistic Sister and Brother. Art was always a huge part of my life so going to the Art school where my parents met was probably meant to be. I studied Illustration at Philadelphia College of Art (when it was called that) and then got side tracked in Advertising when I graduated.

I grew up in an Art home with a Photographer Father, an Elementary School Art Teacher Mother, and Artistic Sister and Brother. Art was always a huge part of my life so going to the Art school where my parents met was probably meant to be. I studied Illustration at Philadelphia College of Art (when it was called that) and then got side tracked in Advertising when I graduated.

While I was in college and a few years after I exhibited my Soft-Sculpture in Galleries in Phila, New York, New Jersey, and Baltimore. Was published in the books “Outstanding American Illustrators” and “3-Dimensional Illustration” and magazines “Print Magazine” and “Baltimore Magazine”.

A weird sequence of events landed me in Tattooing for the past 16 years, with my own Tattoo Shop/Art Playground for last 7 of them.

I love Tattooing but the Sculptor in me couldn’t be denied and I started sculpting again with skulls – I love taking skulls and assembling them with manmade objects that are old and discarded, but still beautiful in their own way. It’s like putting together a puzzle of shapes and textures – and giving new life to the dead and discarded.

I’ve been told what to do with my talents most of my life, and it has definitely influenced my art – this is my own personal artistic voice – my sanity – my passion.
