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.

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.

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.

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.

I am an autodidact photographer/artist from Norway. Born in 1961.
Work, lives in Os, Norway and Karby, Denmark.
All my works are in the square format.
I can find a motif in almost anything. I see myself more as an artist than a photographer. The artwork always starts with an ordinary photography/portrait. I find interest in achitecture, furnitures, cars and other design. I am an eager reader of all sorts of magazines regarding these things. One of my absolute favourite photographers is my fellow countryman Knut Bry. He has been a big inspiration for me. From around 1985 I was competing in various competitions around the world, and I won a lot of prizes and awards. The A.F.I.A.P. award from FIAP (Federation Internationale de l’art Photographique) I received in 1990.
After the digital revolution around 2000, I lost interest for several years, but now it’s back for full. I take a lot of pictures every day. I use my iPhone X.

Congrats to all the Artists who made it into issue four and thank you to everyone who submitted art for consideration. We had a name change, but we still have the same great art.
Check back in about a week or so for a new call for art.
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.

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.

He used to say that he had no specific style, however you can identify his style in many different paintings.
The themes of his paintings or drawings show situations in life, experiences, fantasy worlds, imaginary revolutions and ideas about life, and humanity.
He studied in young age, for 6 years in private art schools in Greece, and now he continues his studies in Strykejernet art school in Norway, mostly in sculpturing and ink prints techniques. Harris paintings are walking the path of expressionism, neoexpressionism with abstract, impressionistic and figurative influences.
