Edinarte | Hungary

Edina Soós’ art seeks to answer the question of how far it is possible to express ideas with abstract forms, beyond the evocation of emotions. How much of a form has to be shown to evoke an idea, an intuitive thought or any kind of meaning in the recipient. Her artworks pushes the boundaries of abstract mode of representation, for her it means balancing between concealment and revelation.
She follows a process-driven creative method, where the subject is not the primary focus. There is a strong emphasis on spontaneity, exploration and varied use of materials. Gestures and shapes evolve intuitively on the canvas, emerging from her subconscious. In the later stages of the creative process conscious form-making also plays a role.
Her paintings evoke associations of evolution and birth, whether it is the genesis of the universe, the origin of life or the evolvement of a human being.

Fran Johnson Fine Art | United States

Showcased in Xanadu Gallery Catalog, Scottsdale, Arizona/Spotlight Contemporary Art Magazine and Artavita Digital Gallery.
I’ve worked as an Art Director for Advertising Agencies and the Corporate environment for over twenty-five years. I take what I’ve learned in the design world, working with designers and artists of many fields, and apply those qualities to the way I paint. Bold and bright with a cleverly concealed pattern hidden within splashes of multi-media.

Maria Esparza | United States

I work primarily with oil pastels, which I’m drawn to due to their minimal and accessible nature, to create colorful abstract compositions.
An important pillar of my art is the concept of letting go. Cultivating a practice driven by specific ideas or motives proved to be overwhelming for me, so I began leaning into intuition to form my works. I create art very intuitively from start to finish, beginning with a color that I feel drawn to in that moment and responding to each subsequent mark to build up the work, often resulting in very gestural abstract works. Throughout the creative process, I welcome unexpected twists and consciously let go of controlling thoughts, preconceptions, and judgments; in this way, my practice is heavily defined by process and less so by any specific idea or result.
I believe art is innately pure. It is an authentic visual
trail we leave behind; I am satisfied with the idea of my artwork being a vehicle through which two souls can connect. I don’t seek immediate feedback; rather I hope that my artwork provokes a genuine emotional connection for any viewer at any point in time.

Elizabeth Williams | Spain

Elizabeth creates abstract expressionist oil paintings which reflect the elemental tone of the natural world, consisting mostly of Seascape landscapes, combined with cloud formations.   After training at the City Lit in Holborn, London in Fine  Art (BA) she paints in oils focusing on the on the Sea and Landscapes. Using carefree brushstrokes or the palette knife.   Elizabeth's paintings are inspired by capturing clouds that hug, rocks on a shore, or a crashing wave from a distant viewpoint or rolling towards a shoreline. Her work is richly textured in parts, combined with smooth blended glazes of brushwork, to suggest depth and movement.   Striving to allow the paint to 'have a mind of its own’ works well with her looser style, that the confines of realism can oppose, allowing her atmospheric and emotional pieces to come alive.
Elizabeth's paintings can vary specifically for commissioned works, in large or small spaces.  Her award winning work has been sold over the years both internationally and at home in Spain to clients and collectors of her work.

Frank Hoeffler | United States

My studio is my own personal sanctuary, a place at peace. I lose all inhibitions. There are no interferences to interrupt, and I am at my best. I have images flooding my mind even when I am asleep but, mostly while I am paying attention to, and observing, the space around me. My paintings are the product of these images combined and manipulated. I am confident and comfortable with myself, which allows me to let the work come forth.
I love to paint, I need to paint, I will always paint.

Mer del Cielo | Portugal

Mer del Cielo, a native of Argentina, moved to New York City, counting on a short stay.  While working as a development specialist at the UN she raised a human, animal and botanical family.  Her experiences in Africa and Latin America profoundly modified her perception of the world and her place in it, becoming the source of an artistic vision that combines elements of ancestral cultures with her own contemporary sensibility.

Boxilla | Belgium

Tribal art, surrealism, symbolism, pop and graffiti art are my possible inspirational starting blocks. I am in search of the perfect balance among black and white rendition, geometry, colors, association and meaning. I pay a lot of attention to composition and always try to tell a story which can be both personal or political. Decorating with style to a particular aesthetical effect is not enough." The themes vary immensely: work can be inspired by political topics, maps and territorial perceptions, tribal figures revisited, shamans and symbols or an inner journey in the unconscious world. Recently I have cherished a lot works that resemble to sculpted paintings, where I use a plank of polystyrene to sink certain figurines, or shapes, tunnels, glass shards and shells. the overall impression is a three-dimension artwork which offers extra stimuli and possibilities. The role of artists is to impersonate the spirit of the time they live in but also digging down in their mind, unconscious and soul and bring up what is their true spirit and uniqueness. Very often, the artist has also a duty to protest or to convey a political message, although that hasn't forcibly got to become a permanent feature. Another duty of the artist is being honest and avoid any manipulation by the market.

Volker Mayr | Germany

„What composers do with music, poets with words, I wish with my paintings: inspire people and create emotions. I want to trigger impulses that make the soul of the viewer vibrate.“ Volkers pictures arise from all the senses and emotions: they are sensual, un-premeditated and with a playful love for enigmatic details. Multiple and vibrant relationships between colors and surface textures are being created by layers that form transparent views, bold and expressive, emotional and spontaneous.
The art historian Gerhard Charles Rump said about Volker:
"Mayrs paintings in their combination of painterly gestures and visible structures of the color mass are remarkable, the colors themselves, their tones. They move in rarely explored areas, do not jump at the viewer, but require a sensitive approach and a willingness to see them with patience to see all traces of nuances. Images as they are dynamic in origin and have a form of inventory, that makes a meditative element.“

Sannie Guo | China

“Many people are infatuated with the charm and verve of autumn.The leaves of trees,by the tender and incomparable green of spring gradually become mature and red.Kind of bleak ,kind of dunk.I hope that the autumn charm,especially the golden leaves everywhere,can offer viewers a warmth in their hearts .I wish the world no disease ,no disaster,no war,only peace and warmth!”

Ursa Schoepper | Germany

Nothing is as it seems at first sight, everything is in process and thus in change. By following an artistic idea, I create autonomous pictures of the imagination. My tool is a professional camera and a sophisticated photo editing system. It is a conceptual process working with photographic material. My artworks were created from a self-made photography. It makes a difference between what my eye sees and what my soul perceives through a transformation. The result are mixed realities, a virtual reality that is embedded in real reality, in a depiction of the photograph as a possibility. Ursa Schoepper first completed her studies in Natural Science with state examination. In addition she completed a study in cultural management, state examinaten, with a concentration in fine arts, new media. 2001 she was awarded the Media Promotion Prize of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia for „Das Museum der abwesenden Bilder“. Since 2003 she is working primarily as a photographic artist. Her artwork are exhibited internationally and she is the recipient of notable awards. Her artworks are in interesting collections. 2023 was published the monograph URSA SCHOEPPER EXPERIMENTAL FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY A METAPHOR OF CHANGE. Ursa Schoepper lives near Bonn.

Sarah Michel | Germany

It‘s not seldom I wander the shore of the Baltic Sea, paths only feet, paws and hooves have touched, accompanied by wind fleeing trees or crows and butterflies in the heathlands of the tiny German island Hiddensee, where I live. Enchanted by the hereby Nordic myths and folklore, the portion of my hesitations, pondering and the things which are alluring to me, conjure up the drawings I share. Like Life, I don`t give myself the opportunity to erase anything. Mistakes remain included and become simply darker by using only very fine ink pigment liner on paper. Which leaves my dialogue with the subconscious exposed. With that I hope to achieve what I think AI can`t so far, Vulnerability and Resilience. I’d love if the seemingly unused space resonates within the viewer, to be filled in with own imaginations, maybe of the things left unsaid. Or maybe a moment of stilness to pick up a line that leads to memory lane. 2023 Awarded with the International Donatello Art Prize in Florence Italy 2022 Works On Paper, The Bricklane Gallery in London 2022 Sagenhaftes Hiddensee, Henni Lehmann Haus in Vitte Island Hiddensee Germany 2021 Summer Salon, Van Der Plas Gallery in Manhattan’s Lower Eastside,New York 2015 ’The Selfie Show: An Art Exhibition of Self- Portraits' Museum Of New Art in Detroit USA

Evans Arnold | United States

Working mainly in oils, and occasionally adding the value of other media, Evans is truly inspired by the tones and hues that Mother Nature provides us. He captures that range in his work by merging the use of line with the painterly approaches of chromatic progression and tonal diversity.
Evans is a graduate of The Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston MA, and Tufts University (B.A, Art Education). He lives on Cape Cod and maintains his studio at the beautiful Cultural Center of Cape Cod in Yarmouth, MA.​
The Arnolds, in fact, are a family of artists, and Evans is no exception. With two sisters both in the art and design world, and parents who met in art school (Evans’ father is famed bird sculptor Eldridge Arnold), it is accurate to say that "making art", for Evans Arnold, is much like breathing air. Or, as Evans might tell you, making art is just like composing music.​
