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

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.

Since I was a kid I kept myself busy carving sticks into mini-sculptures, doodling during class, and drawing figures on the sidewalk with chalk. Having never received any formal art training, I have managed to teach myself the basics of painting and wood sculpture.

I have exhibited in a number of Galleries that include SITE Gallery, 440 Gallery, and Van Der Plas Gallery in New York City, Galleria Pall Mall in London, and Chie Gallery in Milan Italy. I was one of 20 finalists in 2019 as part of the “Art Takes Manhattan Competition.” My goal is to make the world a happier place through art.

Featured Artist | Anindita Dasgupta

A self-taught artist, I make abstract, intuitive and impressionistic art. I create energy through my art, of real things but outside of the realm of realism and showing how I perceive that reality to be. I paint a lot of florals because flowers connect with my soul, occasionally working on landscapes and other subjects. I hope to spread happiness through my work. I am certain that they will bring positive energy for all who see and own them!

Alena Molozanov | Short Hills, NY
@artalzano

My name is Alena Molozanov, and I am an experienced photographer and an amateur painter. I was born and raised in Ukraine, and in my adult life, my family and I have yet to spend more than three years in one place – Moscow, NYC, Latvia, and now back in the US in New Jersey.

Now that I have more time, space, and stability in my life, I have taken up decorating my home with my own art. I love photography, and have plenty of photos to decorate my new home. However, I’ve always been fascinated by painting, and quickly realized my home was missing this type of art. So, I decided to give it a shot and try it myself. I have a wall in my Hallway which is too awkwardly shaped for a photo – very long and a bit narrow. That’s where my first vertical painting came from.

My only art background comes from my Mom, who can draw beautifully. As a child, I watched her draw holiday cards, birthday cards, and banners for her friends and work events.

In order to learn and explore techniques and mediums, I recently enrolled in a local art school. I love every second I spend in class with my incredible teacher and amazing artists. Right now, I am experimenting with different styles and techniques, and have discovered my love for textures. I am still exploring to see what brings me the most joy, and I invite you to join me on my journey.

I was always fascinated with the idea that colors can have an effect on our emotional, physical, and mental states. Examples of this can be found in the expressions, “seeing red” or “having the blues. I like to use bright bold colors set against each other in a geometric structure to create energy and motion.

I am a self-taught artist who has exhibited in a number of galleries which include SITE Gallery, 440 Gallery, Van Der Plas Gallery in New York City, La Galleria Pall Mall in London, and Chie Gallery in Milan. This Spring I will be exhibiting at the Saatchi-The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles, Limner Gallery in Hudson, New York, and Colorida Gallery in Lisbon, Portugal.

Featured Artist | Balthazar Kaplan

Born in 1965 in Paris. Self-taught artist. I live in Rennes (Brittany, France)

In 1986, I created with Bathelemy Schwartz the revue Dorénavant, one of the first avant-garde revue of comics theory: this revue (1986 – 1988) proposed a new definition of the comic strip as a simple juxtaposition of pictures. Also, were included with the comics some paintings of Klee, Kandinsky or Picasso. This statement was also a way to create a new connection between comics and paintings: what was at stake then, was not the graphics (like for Lichtenstein or Combas) but the division of the canvas. Thanks to this, the painting would find again its very old and deep temptation: the illusion of time, which can create a narrative or a musical dimension.

The French comics’ world reacted sometimes with curiosity but most of the time with rejection. The art world ignored it.

From 1988 to 2006, I gave up painting and drawing and rather liked to write novels and essays.

From 1988 to 2006, I gave up painting and drawing and rather liked to write novels and essays.

From 2006, a new generation of comics’ authors discovered again the revue Dorénavant. Some books and articles have been published about it. The website Du9 put online the whole revue.

At the same period, I decided to get back to drawing and painting.

May-july 2018, first exhibition in The Lavoir, in Rennes (France).

Fall 2018 : Publication of two paintings in the Parisian revue “L’Echaudée” (number 8)

January 2019, exhibit in Angoulême, during the bande dessinée festival.

June 2019, exhibit in the Rennes art market.

October 2019, exhibit in the YIA (Young International Artfair) in Paris

Featured Artist | Katie Willes

Katie Willes is a self-taught abstract expressionist. Her degree was in Chemistry, but her art education started in museums across Europe. With a passion for art herself, Katie’s mother took her to museums on every vacation and weekend trip during Katie’s teenage years, when Katie’s father was stationed at an Army hospital in Germany. Katie’s love for art continued and she takes her own children to museums in every new city and country they visit.

Despite her appreciation for art, Katie always thought of herself as a left-brained person. Her interest in abstract was piqued with her first visit to the MoMA in New York. When her oldest went away to college and studied art, Katie started painting as a way to connect with her. That sparked a passion that has blazed like wildfire. With an innate eye for color and design, Katie’s paintings also reflect her optimism and happy personality.

Featured Artist | Katelyn Feldman

I consider myself to be an “outsider artist” because I never went to art school, I’m self taught, and I own my voice through art making. I appreciate the creative process because it’s a way for me to grow and learn. I am very drawn to abstract style and I love to use many different colors in a thick, bold way. I want to catch people’s attention with my full color palette and thick, textured style.

The creative process is so enlightening because it’s fun and I get to explore different colors and textures. I love making abstract art because it’s always new and exciting, and I can create my own interpretations of the things around me. I have shown my artwork at InsideOut, Artstreet, the Santa fe South Branch Library, Artstreet, and the Santa Fe Recovery Center benefit. I have also donated art to the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI).

Always continually striving to learn and improve her craft, Kathy works with all kinds of subject matters, but her main specialty focuses on animals and nature. She has always loved animals since very young, and she loves being able to convey their spirits and souls thru her art. You can find Kathy’s artwork throughout Ventura and LA counties as well as online thru her website, online vendors, and social media, and she has had her artwork spread as far away as two Kung Fu schools in China. When she is not working on her art, you can generally find Kathy at The Village with Gus Gates enjoying her second love and passion of learning Kung Fu.

Kathy also provides a service called Art For Healing in which she will donate a piece of art to those in need of healing such as at a children’s hospital for every piece she sells. Her hope is for others to share and contribute to her idea as she wishes to inspire others & make a better difference in a harsh world desperately in need of more love & kindness.
