Yulia Mosolova Mironova Altas was born in 1974 in Tula City, Russian Federation and now lives in the United States. She studied Art at Tula Art School and Orel Art College and was awarded with an Honors Diploma in Art & Design. She also received her Master’s degree from the Tula City University.

Yulia Altas has had 7 solo exhibitions in the USA, UK, Italy and Russia and 28 group participations in Italy, the UK, France, German, Brazil, Japan and the USA, including at the Eiffel Tower’s, Gustave Eiffel Hall and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Her works belong to private and public collections in many countries and she is an awarded artist.

Yulia Altas the winner of Artavita 21st Online Art Contest with her three works “Fall in Love”, “All Dreams Come True” and “Spring is Coming”. YULIA WAS EXHIBITED IN THE ARTAVITA PAVILION AT ARTEXPO NEW YORK.

She was one of a handful of international artists who was chosen to exhibit her name and work on 25-story-tall video billboard above the American Eagle right in the heart of Times Square, Broadway, New York City, exhibition entitled “See Me take over Times Square” art show endorsed by See|Me Group, Inc.

Her work focuses on realism and expressionism features a range of work using oil, acrylic, watercolors, ink and tempera paints. One of her is favorite techniques is multi-layering technique using water and oil without using brush strokes on paper and on canvas.

For over 20 years, Yulia was studying new art styles and trends.

Yulia Altas is an official member of Circle Foundation of the Arts – CFA and member of International Culture & Arts Foundation – ICAF.

I started to paint around 5 years ago. I studied it at schools and with different teachers. Later I found my technique where you can notice the volume and forms. More often I use oil, because it makes painting alive. Sometimes acrylics.

I have always felt that I wanted to say and show something special to this world through the colors, my spiritual visions, experiences and feelings. I believe that every art is about unique energy. I always wanted to put spirituality into art. My great grandmother was a healer and according to her knowledge I tried to feel this world in various angles and to find substance everywhere. Usually people say that my paintings can fulfill and guide to one’s inner world and even heal. It’s a personal adventure and everyone can delve into my works and find out something about him.

My paintings include people, portraits, abstract forms, nature. And all these pieces want to touch your heart and help you to stop for a moment and ask yourself about something significant.

I can find inspiration everywhere, because behind every small moment is a huge background and spiritual world.

I was born in Siberia, in the north of Russia in 1991. And spent my childhood in magical snow winters. At the age of 17 I moved to Ural region. I graduated the Ural Federal University in 2013 in Yekaterinburg. I worked as a journalist for 4 years and then I changed my field and started to work in beauty industry. I’ve been explorer for all my life. However, creative approach has always been an integral part of me and I tried to grow in it.

I moved to California in 2019 and I’m convinced that creative people are so special here thanks to a large number of various styles and philosophy.

Nature inspires me, from walking in the Italian forests surrounding Florence, to primordial volcanic landscapes in Japan to hikes in the hills of the Santa Monica mountain range. I’m interested in the natural world that we view and the relationship to the metaphysical space of the inner world.

In my art the idea of journey and process merge – daily drawings that map a mindscape and idea process in automatic drawing that reflects walks in nature and things seen visually in the inner and outer world combining.

My art also encompasses ideas about structure(s), habitat and space shaped harmoniously in a continuous process inspired by musical composition.

Painting is the laboratory where I explore ideas in a formal structure that holds play and whimsy. I’m exploring biomorphic shapes and word compositions which reflect an environment I live in presently that reminds me of my childhood.

Lisa Bahouth studied art at Rhode Island School of Design and received her BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture. The award-winning artist and concert pianist exhibited her work in New York City before moving to Los Angeles.

Her art encompasses ideas about architecture, structure(s), habitat and space shaped harmoniously in a continuous process inspired by musical composition.

As she puts it in her own words: "Painting is my primary laboratory where I explore concrete and vague ideas simultaneously, in a formal structure that hopefully holds some play and whimsy. Although my work has the appearance of abstraction, it is not non-objective; conveying references to rooms, interiors and conceptual spaces. Paintings, drawings and installations often refer to each other as I build upon groups of work. "

In her more recent works, she has been exploring the creation of biomorphic shapes and word compositions merging into an all-encompassing metaphysical style.

Bahouth’s work is currently on exhibit internationally in Japan, Russia, Armenia, and the US.

I visualize and think with keen beliefs and insights. Reflection of human and societal concerns which cross emotional boundaries-- communicating that which is unspoken. My traditional art foundations of drawing, painting and printmaking, evolved into video, digital photography and experimental media. I use digital photography and imaging to envision the concepts originating from the creative pulse.An individual artist explores and gives the world a view of their personal heightened awareness. Artists see and think with keen beliefs and insights.Reflection of human and societal concerns which cross emotional boundaries-- communicating that which is unspoken.

I want to share my spark with others , I want to inspire others to follow their joy and let the talent shine. I want to show my vision of the word, reality and time.

Valentina is a self taught artist, at the age of 35 she opened and successfully run the construction business, later on medical center and at the age of 50 she began to pursue her true passion - painting. Valentina created a unique style called “Gofrizm” with a deep meaning of soul connection between and with everyone and everything.

Knowing that humans are responsible for the dramatic and perhaps irreversible changes to our environment compelled me to capture my responses to melting glaciers, lost land masses and extreme weather phenomena.

In the past several years, I have been working on a series called EARTH INTERRUPTED. Ignorance, averice and untethered development are the interrupters, effecting the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we cultivate and treasure.

The bizarre beauty of these changes to our earth has been both captivating and horrifying; watching an accident in slow motion; feeling impotent; I CAN ONLY PAINT.

When I was 10 years old my father took me on his architectural site visits. On the way he would pull over, take out the watercolors and we would paint. This began my enduring love of painting.

My years as an Architect, a Show Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering and an Art Director and Department head at Universal Studios Japan kept me in constant touch with my love for the creative process.

I live and work with my artist husband between Los Angeles and New York. My New York studio is in a large barn built in 1843.

Painting is a sustaining force in my life.For me, its a necessity like air and water. My work is focused on our earths changing landscape, especially climate change.

I have shown and sold my work in Los Angeles at the Venice Art Auction and, Bergamot Station Charity Auctions.I was curator for Art for Clare Charity Auction

Highly influenced by artists like Hopper, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Diebenkorn, I paints multicultural urban Los Angeles with all its contradictions and poetry.

I am trying to blend my classical European artistic background with contemporary conceptual approach. In the LA urban environment I am looking for and finding manifestations of eternal human values, such as love, faith, longing, and the strife for a better life. I try to see real people and their life through the facades of the buildings depicted with much love and connection.

the language of life.

The type of Art that I do is beyond the spoken words.

When it emerges spontaneously because of the process, I accept it with gratitude.

Jenik

No question but the painting of Jenik Cook - and hardly less the work she realizes in other media (most notably ceramics) -is abstract-expressionist. But it is not necessarily Abstract Expressionist. That is, however much it may evince the DNA of mid-century American "action painting," or even European counterparts such as tachism, l'art informel, or CoBrA, Cook's art only incidentally revives the method, much less the look, of these bumptious, scrappy art movements. Rather, to power her vision, she goes back to the roots of gestural modernism, finding dancing line, elastic contour, and fervid color in surrealism, in fauvism, in expressionism itself. The painting of Pollock and Kline, and of Fautrier and Jorn, gives Cook permission to work unfettered like this, and gives us the context to comprehend fully - even to empathize kinesthetically with - what she does. But she is not emulating, much less imitating, Afro or James Brooks in her graceful, muscular paintings on paper or rehashing Sam Francis or André Lanskoy with the rhythmic clots and scatterings of pigment that collect on her canvases (well, on a wide variety of more-or-less canvas-like support material). Look instead to Miro, Masson, Marc, or Münter, Pechstein or Picasso, Marcks or Matisse, for Cook's sources.

Indeed, look into Cook's own cultural heritage. The line that whips and loops throughout Cook's oeuvre, whether hurling forms across canvas expanses or tracing them on the sides of pots, whether describing slashing trails of pure pigment or the sinuous contours of human bodies, is no more a painted line than it is a written one. It is made less with the whole body - although one can sense a change of stance, a hip motion, in so many of these dancing whiplashes - than with the whole arm. These gestures issue from the wrist and the shoulder. They are in fact as much inscribed as painted. Their energy is not just telegraphic; it is calligraphic. If the vivacity of the image bespeaks Cook's Armenian blood, the rhapsodic curvaceousness of her line betrays her Iranian childhood. As comfortable speaking and writing Farsi as she is Armenian, Cook marries her disparate cultural sources -which of course now include the western European and American influences of her adult life - into an aesthetically cohesive mix with a surprisingly broad formal reach.

Perhaps the breadth of that reach, given the variety of sources, isn't actually so surprising. But it is always a bit startling to witness - that is, to be allowed to witness - an artist master such a conceptual and expressive range. Most artists have this range in them, but so many suppress it. For her part, however, Cook refuses to suppress her stylistic multivalency. Not only does she not limit her vision, but she uses that vision very consciously to drive her artmaking in as many ways as it needs to go. She may edit, but she does not self-censure. Her style, ultimately as coherent and personal as a signature, emerges from and among her plethora of approaches, approaches which themselves spring from her persistence, her prolific output, her knowledge of art, and her irrepressible verve. Jenik Cook's art springs forth -in several directions at once.

Peter Frank Los Angeles January 2010

Los Angeles-based artist Sandra Cooper is renowned for her distinctive abstract expressionist style. Her paintings and drawings are unique in their ability to stimulate viewers visually and emotionally with both passion and contradiction. Her striking images encourage viewers to use their own mind’s eye to interpret the movement of paint across canvas. Cooper wants to evoke an emotional response to her art, rather than merely object recognition. “If I wanted to recreate exactly what I saw, I would use my camera. My style celebrates the randomness of abstract expressionism.” “Why paint the entire scene when it’s the negative space that fills my imagination with the creative possibilities of ‘What if’” Cooper says.

Cooper’s “Heart Felt Series,” painted under her “nom de art”

R. Vega, is reflective of the powerful abstract nudes for which she is known.

Cooper’s style and technique are reflected in the media she uses. Whether it is watercolors, mono prints, mono types, charcoal line drawings, acrylics or collage, her work is recognized as a consistent signature of talent.

Growing up in semi-rural Los Angeles County, art was my identity. It gave me a strong sense of self, and was a salvation from my very dysfunctional family. Visual acuity came early. The memories that stay with me the most are those based on colors. I move through my surroundings with a keen sense and appreciation of color.

In graduate school I was described as being omni-directional. This is true. My many diverse interests; the people I know, my world-wide travels, the environment around me and the skies above, are the things that move me and comprise my main art subjects. In working with these themes, I like to try different medias. I enjoy and delight in the pure pleasure of painting; mixing the colors, stroking the pastels, and fusing fire with encaustics. To work in only one or two medias and with limited subjects would be like going to a banquet and trying only the main course. In life, as in a feast, it’s best to experience all that you can.

Relationships with fellow artists provide me with the subjects of my most significant portraits. The Women Artists in History series are comprised of contemporary artists in the costumes and settings of their historical counterparts. The Artists Series features my artist friends in their own environments surrounded with their art. One of the most rewarding relationships, related to my artmaking, is the coming together of San Fernando Valley based artists to form a collaboration. We are Group Nine.

Merrilyn continues to participate in exhibitions worldwide. As a curator, Ms. Duzy has organized and presented exhibitions on Erotic Art, Quarks to Quasars, and Angels, Ancestors & Spirit Guides, among others. Ms. Duzy is listed in the Who's Who In American Art, Who's Who In The West, “VoyageLA: Hidden Gems 2019, Barbara J. Love’s, Feminists Who Changed America 1963-1975, as well as many catalogues and publications.

The first Picture I drew in 2003 after declaring bankruptcy of my “Russian Bookseller Outlet” Store. The Panorama of memory of St. Petersburg was drawn from complete memory! I had been left unemployed for more than a year and took to art which shocked all my relatives and my household. From sheer memory and using simple paper and colored pencils without mistake or an eraser, I depicted a panorama of the Hermitage and parts of St. Petersburg depicting the whole history of my hectic life surrounding those places. Later I found in an album of a book a photograph that accurately conveys my memory. In the picture are six episodes; from how my mother and father brought me to the Hermitage for the first time, to how I brought all my wives and children there.

When a friend Igor Tyulpanov, looked through my entire website and albums of my art he told me “I was an unsurpassed master of writing with painter with colored pencils.” I was convinced of his words after looking upon what I had painted, the first picture in my life. I began to write a book about my life and continued to draw on the four sheets of plain writing paper with colored pencils the "Panorama of memory of St. Petersburg, the Palace and Vasilevskiy Island.”

My friends and family had thought I went crazy but really two events pushed me to create this work, rather two stories. During the 1937 election when my parents met, (where my father was the Chairman of the Electoral Commission from Minsk and my mother, an active member of the Komsomol, was a member of this election commission in the factory in Belarusia). Two weeks later, dad came to mom's parents and asked for her hand in marriage. They immediately though a wedding which my mother was not present, ( she was to ashamed to ask for three days off). The second inspiration for creating this "masterpiece" was a copy from the pictures by Grisha Bruskin "All People came on Elections”. By seeing this picture I began to formulate the plot and continue expanding on my art. When this "masterpiece" was completed, I found in the remains of the last few books from my crushed store the Album "History of the Construction of the Hermitage" to which my surprise so accurately portrayed my art drawn from memory.

At the retired age of 69 and a half, during my time visiting my daughter and grandchildren in New Hampshire I started drawing my next piece. While they slept upstairs, I began to draw again from memory and looking onto the view outside. At the age of 69.5, retired, took up a brush and a pencil, and created it in almost a year my next 25 pieces!

Eduard Klebanov was born on January 25, 1949 in the City of Vsevolozhsk, Leningrad. He was a graduate of the Leningrad Electrical Communications Engineering Institute named after professor M.A.Bonch-Bruevich. Klebanov’s only exposure to art at the time was taking the class ‘Basics of Art Design & Radio for Electronic Equipment’ with the focus on ‘The Basic Principal of Art Constructivism and the Principal of Art Design Radio-Electronic Apparatus (Graduate Department of the Institute of Technical Aesthetics). He graduated from the institute and as his final work wrote a paper on “Magnetic-Record Block of First Class” which was given an academic score of ‘Excellency’ He attended a lecture course on the Theory of Art History at the Herzen Pedagogical Institute at the Department of Art Graphics and Painting under the guidance of the prominent historian of the theory of Arts Michael U. German. On August 19th, 1992 Eduard moved to Boston and from October 1996- February 2001 he owned a Russian Bookstore and Art Gallery. From February 2010 to March 2018 he was the owner of a photo souvenir art kiosk at the Arsenal Mall in Watertown Massachusetts where he took pictures and edited them to be placed on souvenirs for the shoppers of the mall. He began drawing the view from his window, then the interior of his apartment; “Mishin Park” in acrylic, oil and watercolors. Viewing the world like a frog 365 degrees. The scenes from his head his thoughts and feelings of the world replicated in his art. Works like, “Boston College inverted perspective, Halloween in Brookline” a lot of people drawn strange projections of homes not quite where they belong. In February 2019, he went to NY, climbed to the 102nd floor of the Freedom Tower and the new saw the underground Museum. The idea to draw his autobiography through geography to depict his life in the USA through a NY lens. “Panorama of Remembrance 2”, will be forward # 26 - “Panorama of Remembrance 3, Boston and I” all art drawn 3 in a row! There was no such are depicted like this in the history of painting. The closest was Small Dutch, Flemish, Matisse and Van Gogh. Eduard says “I have a lot of things in small spaces with a lot of them in the interior”. From there, this Still Life Collection of the Interior was my muse. Since July 2018 there are 25 total paintings which has absorbed life at the age of 70.

I like bright colors. As P. Picasso said, the art of painting should instil beauty in our life. And I fully agree! The moment painting is born and the process of its creation both introduce beauty in painter's life. Our charisma and our energy are brought over to be expressed in our paintings. I experience utter delight when painting. From slight dabs, from iridescent colors. To cite admirers, my paintings convey joy and a touch of festivity to people, they breath out Good and Positive. It means my works impart beauty not only to my life, but also to the life of my viewers! I am 57, and haven't studied painting, and still greatly enjoy the creative process itself. It pleasures me to present you with joy! Let your life give you more bright colors!

I was born in Russia and am a tour guide by profession.My work involves visiting the best museums in the world and admiring masterpieces of Art. I live now in Haifa, Israel and paint with pleasure, from all my heart.

Taneima Franks: Singer/Songwriter/Composer/Art Craft Creator. Got started to write song since age of 6.

Nature’s infinite pallet of color and diversity awaken our hearts and mind.

*** The Law of the Universe:

No matter how dark the night gets, the sun will rise. It always does.

*** Innocent and beautiful colors of sun are ready to dance with you at winter solstice, awaken your heart and mind.

*** Sun’s rays are inviting you to the new year journey! Be ready to fly!

** Galina Kovshilovsky’s paintings derive from her Russian origins. One feels the breath and wildness of a massive country and yet the simple handy work of it dedicated population. Galina’s paintings capture the sprawling epic about the erosion of tradition with visually striking exploration of color in its infinite variety and vitality. Her painting, be they large or small, capture the imagination with visually stunning Swirls and movement of the eye, emotion and the imagination. We are left breathless with the fascinating lovingly layered colors where the rules of organized thought clash and intersect with rituals and beliefs. We are moved. We are coaxed. We are seeing and drawn into a study of inclusiveness always before us.

Her color is gorgeous and she paints energy.

My photographic collages are layers of my reflections and observations, being personal, political or historical.

Like our life experiences, these thoughts accumulate on top of each other, to create my feelings and emotions that get expressed in the artwork.

The layering process coincides with the synthesis of creating visual pieces that invites one to investigate and explore the given information.

Like in previous works of mine, made on glass, the technique and the transparencies in my photographic digital collages are an important part of the art, they emphasis the build-up process and the blending which creates the images.

"My art allows me to see the beauty – the color and design – in ordinary everyday objects, in buildings, in clothing, in nature.

We are all surrounded by beauty. All we need to do is stop, look and take it all in."

Georganne Aldrich Heller, daughter of the famous fashion designer and art collector Larry Aldrich and a successful designer is an artist in her own right. She makes collages building on the vision that drove her long career as a theatrical producer in New York. Each collage and boxed construction represents a setting of evolving mysteries, opening the way to surreal dramas inviting viewers to enter the world of her dreams, yet unruled by any sort of literary content. Instead, Heller favors a lucid, iconic approach where the “thingness” of shapes and substances is allowed its own expression, her visual reasoning riding on the dynamic that powered western art through a half century of experiment, from cubism to De Stijl.

Being an artist is pouring one’s soul onto the canvas, carving it into a stone or molding it into clay. It is being able to free the mind to create beauty, to create mysteries and, to create long-lasting emotion and passion for the viewer.

My paintings are created through combining acrylic, fabric dyes and oil on canvas. Using layers of one or all mediums, I create texture and depth within the space. This results in fluidity and translucency on the surface, complemented by organic lines to create movement and form.

I am inspired by nature, where I am pulled into experiencing every curve, movement, texture, and fragrance by being present in any given moment. I paint intuitively, capturing the essence of light and positive energy of my experiences. In the process, I explore unlimited options that present themselves and a variety of elements from nature become prominent in my work. I do not paint the actual objects but my experience of the space and the undercurrent and core of what seems to be visible.

I create from the heart. Through my art I intent to touch the hearts and souls of my viewers, to bring them joy, lift their spirit and transcend the moment to one beyond this world.

Aazam Irilian was born in Iran and has resided in Southern California since 1977. Her extensive experience in a broad range of mediums is led by her passion for painting and sculpture. Aazam received her Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Art Education from California State University, Northridge. She has been a working artist and art educator for over 20 years—sharing her passion with students of all ages. Aazam has shown in galleries throughout the Southern California as well as Oregon and her works are in various private collections around the world. She is a member of Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art, Women Painters West, LAAA and Fusionart International.

Narine Isajanyan was born in Armenian and began drawing and painting at the age of five. During her childhood she visited many museums and galleries in Armenian and St. Petersburg, as well as receiving training in music and dance. In college she continued her training in art and received a Bachelors degree in 1987 from the College of Architecture in Yerevan. She moved to Moscow to study at the Moscow Architectural Institute but found Soviet regulations with architecture too restrictive and sought more freedom to express her ideas through her art. She returned to Armenian and studied art with Manvel Bagdasaryan and Samvel Bagdasaryan and later received a Masters degree in Fine Arts from the Yerevan University of Art and Theater. She first started exhibiting her art in 1990 in Armenia and has participated in numerous shows in Moscow, Beruit, Abu Dhabi, Croatia and Belgium. She came to the United States in 1998 when she was invited to participate in an art exhibition and since then has exhibited her paintings at many galleries in the Los Angeles area.

Inspired by the impressionist painter Monet, Narine's work is expressionist, minimalist and conceptual by turns. Whether on canvas, paper, board, wood or actually made of metal, her pieces become abstract landscapes that are as fluid within as they are consistent and organic as a whole.

About her art, Narine says, "When I paint, I feel like I am flying and dancing; I hear music in my mind. Through my art I want to express the freedom I feel in my soul."

The intimate experience of making art allows Shalla to express her ideas, thoughts and feelings. Satisfaction comes in knowing when a piece is finished. Joy comes in that special moment when someone connects with a painting and wants it to become part of his or her life.

Shalla Javid is a professional artist accustomed to living life without borders. This has helped her move beyond the self-imposed confines of medium and subject into an exploratory realm of endless possibilities

Ms. Javid is Persian born, but the inspiration to become an artist came during a family trip to Paris when she was eight years old. After years of painting, she has learned to evoke emotion from her work. She creates abstracts, with a lot of surface quality and vibrant colors. Shalla's work is filled with motion and excitement.

I make art

to communicate

what I cannot communicate with words;

what I need to say

about what's going on in the world around us;

what I cannot fix;

what I wish I could make different

with my paint and clay

or metal and wood;

I work very hard at it -

always with my hands,

smearing, scraping, sanding -

until the experience becomes intimately personal;

communication is at the heart of every creation,

wedded to a humanistic concern;

I yearn with passion to make sense of it all;

fulfillment comes

only after I am personally satisfied

with having known, experienced and conveyed -

or at least tried to convey,

an ongoing, meaningful conversation;

a conversation that has found its way in the work itself;

a conversation that may potentially transpire

a continuance of the same with each viewer -

long after the paint has dried.

Julienne Johnson is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice includes drawing, painting, sculpture, and assemblage. She has been engaged professionally in a variety of other creative disciplines, most notably songwriting, with both Grammy and Dove Award nominations to her credit. Her latest music was released in Oslo, Norway, April 2019 for award winning producer, Knut Asphol. Her poetry has been published in the United States, and the UK. Despite her success in these areas, Johnson's most profound connection is with the visual arts – her strongest, most direct form of communication.

She trained classically as a fine arts major at Taylor University, Indiana and continued painting representationally for the next ten years doing commissions, while exhibiting minimally. Much later, after re-settling in Los Angeles, Johnson returned to studying art briefly at Otis College of Art & Design in 2005, transferring to Art Center College of Design in 2006 where she custom coordinated a Master’s-level type program and was mentored by the late Franklyn Liegel.

Since 2010, Johnson has been honored with 5 solo exhibitions across the United States, including a solo museum show at the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art; her sculpture and paintings have been included in numerous museum shows around the world, including: Armenia, Japan, China, Qatar, Italy and Thailand. Her work can be found in 7 Museum Permanent Collections internationally and can be viewed on permanent exhibition at the Arab American National Museum in Michigan, and several museums in Italy and Thailand. Residencies include: China, Italy, Japan, Thailand and Mexico.

Her work can be found in private and corporate collections across the globe. She resides in Southern California.

I love creating something beautiful out of seemingly useless things. Before making an artwork from old buttons, beads and broken pieces of jewelry, I look at their colors, feel their texture and while doing this, an idea of a future picture forms in my head. I make several sketches on small pieces of paper, and after that everything is simple – just drawing with buttons!

I was born in Russia and while living there received a bachelor’s degree in Architecture. In 2003 I moved to United States and got interested in human physiology and medicine. I graduated from California State University Los Angeles with bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I’ve been working as a registered nurse for 11 years when I injured my knee and had to stay home on disability. At this time my mom brought me a lot of old buttons given to her by a friend hoping I can find a use for them. It was a wonderful idea! I’ve always been crafty and staying home during my recovery; I had plenty of free time to give a new life to the old buttons. Using artistic skills I learned at the Academy of Architecture, I started making mixed media artworks. My relatives and friends, who saw my initial art projects, started bringing me knick-knacks that were lying around in their house. Besides buttons, I received jewelry pieces, beads and even some semi-precious stones which I used in my works. I like variety in my projects. Sometimes, I combine buttons and acrylic painting. Sometimes, I work on canvas and sometimes on cork.

Taking "reduce and reuse" principle to the next level I build abstract 2d and 3d compositions with found objects from hi-tech world. Disassembled practical gadgets become pieces of the puzzle that join paint and clay in my artworks. The concept of my current series "Deconstructed" resonates well with "Evolve. Women. Wisdom." theme. It deals with the evolution of knowledge (computers, phones, robot gears, data, concrete) into wisdom (balance, minimalism, harmony, intuitive awareness, abstract).

Lina was born in Kiev, Ukraine, where she graduated from the School of Visual Arts. She has always strived to find balance between her passion for arts and interest in technology. In 2000 she obtained a

masters degree in computer science with a specialization in multimedia and creative technologies from USC, and now enjoys a successful career in software engineering. Lina has pursued her interest in visual art and has studied ceramics and sculpture in Los Angeles since 1996.

Linas clay and mixed media creations have been very well received in exhibitions at the Orlando Gallery, The Style Lounge, Pacific Design Center, VIVA Art Center, American Museum of Ceramic Art, Xiem Gallery, Red Dot Gallery in Palm Springs, Neutra Museum in Silver Lake. Her art is in private and corporate collections nationwide. Lina participates in the Annual California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art in Davis, California, and is a member of Los Angeles Experimental Artists group.

When I first viewed the paintings of Alberto Mijangos I was mesmerized by the magic in the painting. I could gaze for hours at a single piece , large or small, and discover shapes, colors, strokes emerging and then receding while new ones emerged. This was painting which I could get excited about! I was introduced into his world of painting and was mentored by him for 2 years. I can remember that “aha!” moment when I was painting to manipulate the paint, strokes and colors methodically in order to produce a specific resulting image and suddenly the whole process was transformed into a dialogue with the painting: a stroke here, a splash of paint there, stillness, then letting the painting guide me as to what to do next. I was rocketed into a fourth dimension.

Since then I have experienced many more “aha!” moments as I explored the nature of my medium, pushed it to the limit and discovered new ways of expressing the vision I had first given birth to.

Some may call my paintings “Portraits”, but I see them as another vehicle for expressing this “nature” of the paint, ever coaxing the observer to look beyond the one personified to the various colors blending or contrasting with the colors placed beside them, the strokes of the bristle brush stacking colors one upon the others, creating a small world of images into a series of worlds jumping out at the viewer as his/ her eyes travel the surface of the canvas, panel or paper.

My art name is Lark - the bird that lingers between the earth and the sky. We artists do it at the moment of inspiration and meditation. That's how I create my art. I meditate and start with the spontaneous movements of my instruments; usually it is not a brush. A brush makes me think. My instruments are usually just pieces of cardboard. I also paint on any surface – canvas, board, plexiglass, glass, wood, etc – and I love to experiment and see what happens. My best creations take place in a state of no mind.

Although I begin the way abstract expressionists do and use some sumi-e techniques, eventually most of my creation starts shaping as abstract or impressionistic landscapes as ocean, sky, trees, flowers and mountain views start appearing from the formless. Nature is my source of inspiration, but instead of landscape details I channel nature's moods, the feeling of being one with nature, and swimming in its atmospheric light.

Light is what drives me to continue working. My mission is always to bring more light to people around me with my art, poetry and meditations. I know that viewers feel joy, peace and harmony when they look at my work, enter and settle inside it because it heals their emotional wounds and it makes me happy. Being an artist is an opportunity to express the fountain of my creative energy and at the same time serve people's needs in beauty that will heal the world.

When people perceive the light, the high and playful energy that my paintings emanate, they start feeling they are back in the fairy-tale world of their childhood, when their soul was open to transformations and miracles, and they feel like Alice in her enchanting wonderland.

From the beginning of her art career, Lark’s art caught the attention of art lovers and gained recognition from art jurors including LA Weekly critic Peter Frank, Santa Monica Museum Art Director Lisa Melandri and MOCA curator Alma Ruiz.

Fusing classical and contemporary art traditions, Lark's award-winning artworks carry her signature gestural brushstrokes and vibrant color palettes. They have been featured in the many prestigious exhibitions, art catalogs and sold globally in France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, Armenia, Canada, Sweden and many other countries. In 2021 - 2025 Lark's art was exhibited in the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the Shiba City Museum of Art In Japan where Lark got two Gold Awards in the group shows.

I paint what touches me most. Something in my life or in the world around me that moves me deeply. It may be joy or it may be sadness and worry.

Just painting what I feel brings me closer in touch with who I am and what I feel, it helps me process what I might not otherwise understand or be able to digest or let go of.

My artwork always had to do with feelings, my feeling about the world, people, and my relationship with them. I always have put it on paper since I can remember.

Like the feelings between mother and child, that are our most complete bond, or portraits of an emotional mood, that seem to come just out of me when I feel a certain way and sit down with a brush and canvas, to capture the emotion.

Regine Legler Bio

Regine Legler was born in Berlin, Germany during the last days of World War II.

Her first exposure to art was a dark, brown door her mother allowed the family to draw on with chalk, which Regine did frequently. Everything was a canvas, including her schoolbooks, which lead Regine to her first commission; being asked by her fellow classmates to help them with their homework assignment to draw Napoleon.

Regine’s formal education in fine art started at age 17 when she enrolled at the Staedelschule in Frankfurt/Main Germany. There she began a two-year study of figure drawing, portraiture, landscape and still life under Walter Hergenhahn, a student of the renowned Max Beckmann. Later, she underwent three years of intensive study in oil painting, acrylic and watercolor at the Freie Academie in Mannheim, Germany.

In her early years, Regine drew and painted scenes of dreams and emotional situations in a style called Fantastic Realism. Then, in 1994, her interest shifted to wildlife and American Indian scenes. Today, Regine’s style has evolved from Fantastic Realism to a more realistic and personalized technique to create a very bold look and tone to convey strong emotions.

Regine holds juried membership at Women Painters West, Southern California Women Caucus of the Arts, Venice Art Forum, and has taught college-level classes at Santa Monica College and the Fashion institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.

Malone is a visual and literary artist whose career spans three decades. He holds degrees from the University of Houston and The University of Arizona (MFA), and has worked as a newspaper journalist, a university instructor in English literature and writing, a literary critic and editor, and a writer of fiction and poetry. He is the author of three award-winning books of fiction. Since the 90s, however, he has focused his attention on painting pictures, mostly abstract but with forays into representational and figurative art. Over the years, his paintings have appeared in a number of galleries and exhibitions, as well as publications on both sides of the Atlantic. Among his many honors are an NEA Fellowship, and, last year, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the publication Who's Who in America. In 2017, Malone's home and studio, in the coastal town of Rockport, TX, were destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. He has since rebuilt, returning to work early last year and devoting himself largely to portraying the physical and emotional violence inflicted on the place and the people who survived the storm at Ground Zero. Also in 2019, Malone began a collaboration with a British e-commerce entrepreneur to create a line of fashion accessories and wall prints depicting several of his artworks. Called beARTified.com, the site launches later this year.

I use art as a means to express my reactions to my environment. In this way what you see is akin to the emanations from a sound box where the acoustics of sounds, life circumstance and landscape have combined at one moment in time. The subject matter is not the subject. The process is often as important as the result. I have recently included with my abstract, tactile paintings, more objective work, but the impetus is the same. Just as each person responds differently to music, I expect each viewer will respond differently to what they see.

My inspiration is the original nature.

In connection with art and nature work I weave language, nature and symbolism in my works of art.

So, there will arise paintings, robes, poems, soapstone- and natural works.

In the dance with colors and natural materials creates paintings which have a need to

express and share their own stories,

stories that touch the soul.

It is important to me to deal with topics that touch the world, to make them visible.

Themes that touch the world.

Themes that touch the soul.

Themes that want to be "seen, felt, heard" and carried out into the world:

The whole inspired creation in its magnificence and fullness,

like the earth, the nature, the animals and the elements.

Mindfulness, Appreciation, Gratitude, Ancient Language, The Knowledge of

Indigenous Peoples, Soulcraft, Wilderness, Nature Closeness, Ancestors, Networking, Femininity.

Born in a coal mining city of Donetsk in Soviet Ukraine in 1939, Anatoliy Ozerov spent his early years aware of the nature's bounty and the struggles of working class of the southern region of his country. Not of a meek character, he was speaking up for the underserved, which led to an interdict on his profession as a journalist. Never to stop observing and expressing his point of view his life was difficult under the soviet regime. He had found an output to his revolting energy in writing poetry and taking care of the vegetable garden which also supplied nutrition for his family.

Near his retirement, Ozerov began to paint what has surrounded him all his life: fragrant flora, mirroring lakes, flat-topped mounts of the mining production, the warm eyes of his family members and the resilient gases of the blue-collar workers.

After moving to United States to rejoin with his daughter, he focused on abstract painting in attempt to express what is beyond words and images. Using a saturated pallet of colors from his garden and those local plants he encounters on his walks, he builds rhythmic relationships reminiscent of those he had lived through.

RUSSIA. Graduated Stroganov Moscow State University of Art and Industry, 2012

creating sculptures out of organic materials, to convey an emotion that reflects the dichotomy between hard stones and soft metals, such as fossilized walrus tusk ivory and alabaster.

Living in Alaska influenced the work of Roland whose kayaks were on display in San Francisco and show the influence of the native traditions. Later he went on to create a pink alabaster sculpture whose form and shape is used in

Alaska to welcome strangers into their village.

Roland combined mechanical and artistic abilities helped him to win a first prize with his creation of a modified 1969 Triumph motorcycle for which the pieces and parts were all hand made. The motorcycle is currently on display in

Northern California. He is currently creating for a special commission two new alabaster sculptures influenced by art from the South Pacific. Roland Also enjoys creating jewelry from natural stones and other natural materials.

Roland studied at the University of Anchorage Alaska and Toronto School of Art in Canada

My work is a visual dialogue between the discarded and the resilient. I find beauty in "fragments"—crushed metal, torn envelopes, weathered stamps, and forgotten notes—transforming these remnants of urban life into harmonious compositions.

In the series submitted for "Bridging Through Colors," I use mixed-media assemblage as a metaphor for healing. Just as a crumpled piece of paper or a discarded object can be integrated into a new, balanced whole, our fragmented experiences and diverse backgrounds can find unity through the universal language of art.Each piece serves as a "bridge": between the industrial and the organic, the personal and the collective, the chaotic and the serene. My process involves layering textures and colors to create a space for quiet reflection. By giving a second life to materials that have been cast aside, I invite the viewer to see the possibility of rebirth and transformation in the world around us.

Tatiana Savchenko is a Los Angeles-based mixed-media artist whose practice explores the intersection of urban materiality, personal memory, and emotional resilience. Her work is characterized by a "visual dialogue" between found objects—such as industrial remnants, vintage correspondence, and discarded fragments—and expressive layers of acrylic and watercolor.In 2026, Savchenko’s presence in the Southern California art scene was highlighted by several key exhibitions. She was featured in the "March/Forward" showcase at Shoebox Projects within the Brewery Arts Complex and participated in the StARTup Art Fair at Venice Beach. Her collaborative artist book, LA: Two Voices, One City, created in partnership with Gregory Desgouttes, exemplifies her commitment to exploring unity and connection through shared creative narratives.By transforming everyday debris into layered, atmospheric compositions, Savchenko invites viewers to find tranquility and "healing" within the chaotic textures of modern life. Her work serves as a bridge between the mundane and the spiritual, aligning perfectly with the global call for empathy and connection through the universal language of art.

Lady Liberty, Lady Justice, and Lady Prudence

I was compelled to create works that were personal, yet could represent a shared or public experience that would be political in nature as well as intimate in its creation and meaning.

The recent and current cultural and political climates have affected me in ways in which I struggle to find the words necessary to fully express the overwhelming impact I experience. I needed to create work that walked the fine line between my personal experience and a shared public experience that I witness all around me. These works are from me but not solely for me.

I present to you a version of:

Lady Liberty

Lady Justice and

Lady Prudence

These images were formed after considering the original symbolic representations that are meant to portray three virtues which are deemed by American culture as fundamental virtues necessary for the continuation of the American culture.

These symbolic images were appropriated from other cultures and adopted to further the interests of American ideals. They are all portrayed as women, yet how does the American culture treat and portray women?

In my creations of these symbolic ladies I wanted to portray the very statues coming to life in outrage, shock, and alarm. They are created on bed sheets and are meant to hang from the ceiling existing in the space of the viewer. The area surrounding them is exploding with shredded paper. Liberty has dropped her torch and tablet and stands defiantly. Justice has released the scales of justice and holds her sword at the ready while lifting her blind fo

Trinity Singer has a BFA in Fine Art from Cal State Long Beach and has participated in group show in Oregon and California for many years.

An artist can draw his inspiration from the past - historical events - or dream about the future and try to create something that have never existed. I don’t do neither of this, instead I choose to show in my sculptures the present.

Many people I’ve met in my country underestimate the importance of current events, I’m afraid they don’t see how much everybody’s wellbeing depend on it. My mission is to draw their attention and also give the future generation and idea of what was happening beforehand.

How do I prefers to do it? I use the language of classical academic sculpture. To be honest, I consider the tendency of using very obstruct “language” in sculpture to be a sign of degradation. I want to show that there is a place for classical language in the modern world of art, that with its help you can express your current thoughts and feelings.

Andrey Sledkov is a well known, Moscow-based Russian sculptor and the creator of many monuments. Andrey graduated in 2010 from the Moscow Art Institute named after Surikov. When he was just 23 years old, he established his first monument in the Russian capital. A year later, Andrey joined the Moscow Union of Artists and the Moscow Union of Sculptors. He took part in the Russian ART Week on many occasions. In 2008, he took first place for the Red Bull "Art of Can" competition and was sent to France to exchange experience. Also, he participated in the master class of the International Summer Academy of the Vitra Design Museum in conjunction with the Georges Pompidou Center.Andrey's sculptures are installed not only in many cities of Russia, but abroad as well. He became the author of the first-ever Russian monument to Ivan the Terrible, located in Orel. In 2018, he installed a ten-meter monument to Alexander Nevsky in the westernmost region of Russia. He was awarded the medal of Marshal Zhukov and the Samara cross for his contribution to the culture of Bulgaria and the maintenance of historical art work.Andrey occasionally gives lectures and teaches master classes in sculpture and design. He has his own sculpture studio, located in Moscow, where he makes and casts his creations out of various materials, including bronze, ceramics, gypsum and modern polymeric materials.

Each one of my pictures is a scene.The background, props , clothes , hair-styles , grimes and of course the attitudes themselves - gestures, facial expressions - raise exuberant stories. Every story is relative, everything is slightly warped so that even on the tenth of twentieth viewing it continues to intrigue. The story is never finished.

To make art and see it being born from my own hands fulfills one of my

greatest dreams.

I like the moment when a new creation is not yet mine, not yet in my

imagination - but already is tickling my subconscious.

Working with paints, knowing their elasticity, and exploring new

textures and color shades allows me to move them on the canvas

spontaneously.

But it only seems so. In reality it happens under the guidance of my

soul.

It is my soul that expresses itself on canvas, showing its flights and

falls, joys and sadness, and then gives birth to an image. My hands only

choose and move colors around, before the appearance of a new image

gives rise to new fantasies.

When a fantasy desires to continue over a series of my art, the process

gives birth to imaginary realities which emerge from the depth of my soul

and cry out to find release on the canvas. Only then can my hands

themselves put down the paints and hang alongside my body. Fatigue and

relief cover me with a light veil. Nothing more needs to be corrected

and completed.

My soul enjoys the liberation of previously collected feelings and

impressions of life whose meaning was unclear to me but which I can now

express. Also what my paintings let me express on canvas is a joyful light shining

from the soul. It is the wonderful space of creation.

My paintings come out as attempts to "translate" from ideograms and fantastic hieroglyphs that I see in the patterns of nature, most often in the tree bark.

It is like listening to a song in an unknown language. Everyone will have their own guess of what the words might say, but the main theme of the song will be recognized.I am so thrilled by the moments of gazing into the patterns of nature when intuition gives a glimpse from the world of archetypes. I think that trees are books and libraries that can be read, perhaps as well as any thing around if we attune to it…

My paintings are sort of "snapshots" from the process of reading the Book of Nature by the mind;these "snapshots" are somewhere in between the imagery and the language.The mind projects meanings onto the shapes and lines, but they are being reflected back, startling and puzzling… there is always a sensation of a mirror dialog, of having been "read" yourself by the Book of Nature...
