Growing up in a family of artists and scientists shaped my outlook on life. My early experiences influence my work today. I feel there are often contradictions to be found in life and it is these contradictions that inspire me. Since I was a small child I have been drawing and painting. As I got older, I took various art classes and met all kinds of artists. Having friends in the music and film industries shaped my ideas about all kinds of art. I find inspiration in Impressionism, Fauvism, also in fairy tales and music. Music plays an important role in my life and I like to collaborate with musician friends. My art often features narrative scenes of nature. The butterfly theme is important to me because it represents themes of strength and fragility. Through my work I aim to communicate various emotions, sometimes I try to capture the ineffable. I enjoy the freedom of painting, to create makes me happy.

Artist Preston M. Smith (PMS) found himself cross-eyed and with no depth perception as a child. This was the "lens" through which he developed his unique visual perspective of the world, which he now shares as a painter. Before focusing completely on his visual artwork, Preston spent many years developing and expanding his creative mindset by acting professionally, touring and lead singing for a punk/ska band, and writing two novels as well as a collection of poetry and original paintings. All of this experience fed into his ability to access his creative voice and communicate his own experience. Over the years, Preston’s artwork has transitioned from moody pop surrealist paintings into vibrantly colorful, tactile, highly textured and almost "edible" abstract works. His mantra for his abstract work is "color, texture, beauty and decay", and his work has been an moving expression.

Roberto Fradale nasce a Francavilla di Sicilia nel 1968. Fin da piccolo appassionato al disegno approda nel mondo dell'arte nel 1997 iniziando da autodidatta.

“Ho avuto la fortuna di ricevere questo meraviglioso dono e strada facendo è diventata la mia passione, alla quale mi è difficile rinunciare. Il disegno e il figurativo mi hanno accompagnato in questo percorso; solo nel 2010 sentii la necessità di esplorare una nuova forma artistica, "l'astrattismo" un mondo meraviglioso che non tutti riescono a percepire: per me significa "trasmettere emozioni" tramite i colori. Da quel momento iniziai un nuovo percorso in questa direzione con grandi risultati. Le mie opere sono energia pura! Ogni mia tela è la rappresentazione di uno stato d'animo attraverso l'uso irrazionale del colore”.

My style is intuitive abstract. Reflect my emotions and the joy of my new journey.

I use multiple color palettes and tools combining acrylic paint and oil pastels.

Born in La Tuque, I grew up fascinated by Monet, Picasso, Le Corbusier. I am a self-taught artist with a particular sense of color and a closeness with architecture, which I acquired during my various trades and experiences: hairdressing, styling, interior design.

As an adult, I drew the plans of my house and created my first paintings. Here, the passion for painting was born!

Since 2017, my paintings have been found in new local businesses: physiotherapy, podiatry, medico-aesthetics, lawyers and notaries, insurance office, restaurant, furniture store and audio-video store. I also produce, on order, works for interior designers from Quebec and Ontario.

I am a British self-taught artist, currently residing in Bangkok, Thailand. I mainly work with acrylic paints and produce abstract creations.

I enjoy creating abstract paintings as ‘there is no right or wrong’! I also love creating abstracts because they are perceived so differently amongst people and make everyone feel or see something completely unique to them.

I am currently enjoying the creative process of experimenting and learning through trial and error when creating new artwork. I engage with new ideas and mediums to create unique, one off original pieces of art. I also create small series of paintings when I wish to pursue a technique or explore a subject more in depth.

All the attention and preoccupation of man is directed and concentrated in the body with all his senses and the world in which he is found, the picture seems to be complete and logical, The body is material and such is the world around us, nature. In such a reality when I am lacking I am not particularly happy, and when the downside is filled, I am happy, but this joy is momentary until the next flaw. Something in me did not agree with this pendulum of joy and frustration. This feeling did not allow me rest and gave rise to introspection and the search for who I really was. The person I am perhaps is something deeper that lived within me that I abandoned and ignored from all the years. In modern art and especially in abstract art we see very clearly the same frustration and the beginning of the search for the essence of this film in which we live.

Tamara Andjus creates abstract impressionist style paintings with great attention to light and rich color palettes. Her work is defined by energised brushstrokes and multi-layerd method.

Elzbieta Sieber is a self-taught polish/german artist who lives in Munich. Being influenced by her environment she was more interested in becoming a musician. Growing up in a world of music and dancing gave her a sense of freedom which she believes influences her way of working. The passion for painting has shown while living in Germany. She started with painting faces wanting to show human emotions which people try to hide. One day abstract painting came to it. Her work is very colorful and it might evoke emotions in those who see it. She paints of. her imagination, sometimes using family photographs. She uses acrylics, oil, pigment, ink, stain, collage. Color and layers inspire her. She continually challenges herself with new ideas and new materials. She needs to be experimental and looks for a sense of adventure.

Laurie was born in Dublin, and is currently living in Cork. Her work is a deeply personal response to her environment, and she very often expresses this through colour.

Laurie is inspired by the Expressionist movement and Abstract Expressionism. That is, she presents her work from a subjective perspective, distorting it for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas which appeal to the soul. She is influenced by artists such as Edvard Munch, Salvador Dali, Francis Bacon, and abstract expressionists such as Willem Dé Kooning.

Laurie works mainly in acrylics on canvas, but sometimes in oils, depending on whichever is more appropriate for what she is trying to express.

I am an Australian artist and my journey began in 2005 when I discovered a hidden talent for painting while trying to add a personal touch to my home's walls. But the demands of life quickly put my artistic pursuits on hold. A few years later. that artistic urge hit me again and led me to establish a "Garage Gallery" where I sold my artwork most weekends.

In 2021, during the 111-day Covid lockdown, I found solace, sanity and purpose in painting and produced around 80 artworks. This prolific period allowed me to experiment with new techniques and bold colour combinations on larger canvases ranging from 50 to 150cms or 59x39”.

That experience revealed that art was my true calling, so I am now dedicated to creating art for the rest of my life. I especially love exploring both realism and abstraction, often merging the two worlds together to create captivating and thought-provoking pieces.

I am excited to share my artistic journey with art enthusiasts, collectors, and the wider art community, because each artwork I produce reflects another attempt to explore and achieve that balance between both thoughts and creativity.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my profile, and I hope my creations resonate with your appreciation for art.
