Michael Malm (American, 1972)

"My purpose in painting is to communicate the emotions and beauty that I experience to the viewer with the hope that the painting will trigger a similar emotional response in them. Ultimately, I hope my work uplifts and inspires" - Michael Malm.

Michael lives in the beautiful Cache Valley of northern Utah with his wife, Juanita, and their four children.

The surrounding rural communities and setting provide backdrops for his figure paintings and inspiration for his landscapes.

His serious study began under Del Parson at Dixie College where he completed his associate’s degree.

Steve Hanks (1949-2015) | Pittore figurativo

"Ho cercato di essere responsabile e di diffondere immagini positive nel mondo", affermava Steve Hanks.

"Spero che il mio lavoro porti conforto, piacere ed intuizione nella vita delle persone".

Steve Hanks è cresciuto giocando a tennis e facendo surf lungo le spiagge della California meridionale.

"L'oceano mi ha lasciato un'impressione forte e duratura. È stato bello per l'anima essere in acqua, fare surf, nuotare o semplicemente entrare in contatto con il suo potere misterioso".

El Greco | Il periodo Italiano

Dal momento che Creta era, fin dal 1211, un possedimento della Repubblica di Venezia, fu naturale per il giovane El Greco (1541-1614) continuare la propria carriera a Venezia.

Anche se l'anno esatto del trasferimento non è noto, la maggior parte degli studiosi concorda nello stabilirlo attorno al 1567.

Secondo altro materiale d'archivio, ovvero dei disegni che mandò a un cartografo cretese, l'artista nel 1568 si trovava a Venezia.

Non si sa molto degli anni trascorsi in Italia da El Greco.

Catherine Abel (Australian, 1966)

Self-taught, Catherine Abel is a successful Australian artist🎨, renowned internationally for her striking figurative oil paintings. Combining the sleek, stylised geometry of the Art Deco period with the clarity, richness of colour, and depth of light of the Italian Renaissance Masters, her works are powerfully seductive compositions of beauty, elegance, strength and grace.

Abel began painting professionally after moving to Paris in 2000. Influenced greatly by European art and history, she immersed herself in her painting, rapidly building her reputation as a fine art painter. She has exhibited in Australia, France and the USA and is a sought-after portraitist.

Edna St.Vincent Millay | This beast that rends me in the sight of all, 1928

Marina Podgaevskaya, 1963 | Venetian

This beast that rends me in the sight of all,

This love, this longing, this oblivious thing,

That has me under as the last leaves fall,

Will glut, will sicken, will be gone by spring.

The wound will heal, the fever will abate,

The knotted hurt will slacken in the breast;

I shall forget before the flickers mate

Your look that is today my east and west.

Rémi LaBarre (Canadian, 1977)

Inspired by romance lovers, music, Rémi LaBarre painted series of modern portraits in a vintage theme.

In 1977, in Thetford Mines, Rémi LaBarre gets a first glance of the world. In his childhoold, he draws, often, on paperboards and paper…

One day, a friend who paints suggests testing this medium.

He thus gets some brushes, a few colors and his first painting will dry throughout the days of September 1994. Since then, several paintings, whether portraits or still life, all tales told.
