Jeffrey Fitzgerald
“My work begins with a symphony of paint and color, but closer inspection reveals images that begin to surface, and landscapes come together. Light seduces, I sear or fall upon, swim, it dodges then reflects and my paintings become their characters.”

Alexandra Rose
“My work is inspired by memories of past environments. I like to explore the relationship between architectural space and landscapes by mixing together imagery of interiors, exteriors, things found in nature, and abstracted forms. My intention is to transport the viewer into an ambiguous, sometimes associative, and disjointed landscapes or environments made up of interiors, exteriors, things found in nature, and abstracted forms.”
AlexandraRose is interested in the relationship between architectural space, landscape, and the psyche .Her work explores ideas of conflict through the use of contradictory techniques such as the disintegration or fracturing of visual information, that in turn creates a feeling of instability.

Koen Lybaert
“My technique of oil painting consists of a slow overlapping, layer by layer, of different colors, to obtain abstract works ranging from minimal to more complex works. The image of the Belgium nature reserve High Fens, is partly over-painted with white, grey and pale blue oil paint.”
Koen Lybaert is an established artist with international exposure He lives and works in Geel, Belgium. Through his works, characterized by their abstract technique, he is constantly striving to create something beautiful.

The technique of oil painting consists of a slow overlapping, layer by layer, of different colors, to obtain abstract works ranging from minimal to more complex works. Blues and greens are often recurrent in his works, but each art piece is an open experiment to discover new nuances by mixing the colors.

Fabian Albertini
“My photographic work explores the complex of consciousness creating performances interpreted by contemporary dancers inside the environment. The goal of the “Vulcano” series is to go beyond the appearance of phenomena to grasp the essence of reality, the profound sense of things, beyond the physical, of what is concrete and tangible and belongs to the natural world.”
Fabian Albertini is an Italian artist based between Reggio Emilia and Rio de Janeiro. Albertini is guided by her interests in perception, movement, the relationship between man and environment through dialogues between art and spirituality. Combining photography, installation and overpainted photographs, her projects often show field work in remote locations–such as deserts, volcanos and rainforest. In her early work she has explored the complex of consciousness creating performances interpreted by contemporary dancers inside the environment, publishing five books on this theme from 2000 to 2010.
Mark Russell Jones
“Hovering between abstraction and representation, my approach to painting is informed by my interests in geography, light and environment. My work considers spatial perspectives while contemplating its interaction with such elements as air, fire, water and earth. The end results are large scale oil paintings echoing the sensibility and following in the lineage of Turner, Rothko, and Richter.”
Mark Russell Jones is a painter living and working in Los Angeles. Born inCalifornia, he received his BFA in painting with distinction from the CaliforniaCollege of the Arts in Oakland, California. During his time there, he explored a multi-disciplinary approach to his painting through in-depth studies in art history, photography, drawing, design, and printmaking. He was awarded the Vivian IsabelBolton scholar Award and the Peter Chapman scholar award for painting.Employing his skills in photography and drawing, Jones’ process explores both mediums in his work. Hovering between abstraction and representation, his approach to painting is informed by his interests in geography, light and environment. To further explore this aspect of his work Jones has lived and worked in Milan, Paris, Madrid, Auckland, Tokyo, and Osaka. In addition, he has made a number of excursions covering other parts of Europe, the middle east, Russia,China and the Caribbean. Functioning much like a documentary filmmaker,Jones documents the varied terrain by making black and white photographs and drawings that reflect his response to each place. Upon his return to the studio he examines his findings through an editing of the material which are ultimately realized as paintings. The work considers spatial perspectives while contemplating its interaction with such elements as air, fire, water and earth. The end results are large scale oil paintings echoing the sensibility and following in the lineage ofTurner, Rothko, and Richter.Jones has exhibited since 1996 with exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Texas,Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs.

Kim Frances
“My work is an expression of my reverence for the earth. The various qualities and colors of earth provide the natural pigment and essence of my pieces. Gathering soil from various locations, I make my own pigment by adding clay and ash and other elements.”
KimFrances’ work is an expression of her reverence for the earth.The various qualities and colors of earth provide the natural pigment and essence of her pieces. Her work is the building up of numerous textures and layers, of addition and subtraction, of harmony and discontent, while staying deeply grounded. There is a depth that can be seen and felt in her painting, a quiet strength. Kim’s background in design, love of simplicity and well-crafted elegance is the undercurrent in her artwork. She attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and theCalifornia College of the Arts where she received her BFA in design.She lives and works in San Francisco, California.
Keren Toledano
“My abstract work creates dialogue between elements in tension. Dark and light, transparent and opaque, smooth surfaces disrupted by scribbles—all invoke the layered history of the canvas. The compositions have a sense of order, while entropy peers through from beneath. When I studied literature at Harvard, I explored the overlap of story and art. And with art, I explore the syntax and grammar of painterly marks.”
Art is a reaction to a moment in context. Exploring this theme, Keren Toledano’s abstract work creates dialogue between elements in tension. Dark and light, transparent and opaque, smooth surfaces disrupted by scribbles—all invoke the layered history of the canvas.The compositions have a sense of order, while entropy peers through from beneath.The artist studied literature at Harvard, where she first explored the overlap of story and art. She lives and works in New York City, splitting her time between painting and writing. She works by the motto that we are nowhere without where we have been.
Garret Low
“I am inspired by subjects that are organically crafted by time. Using acrylic paint, I like to explore the transformative rawness of life. In one series of work, I am inspired by a peaceful moment in the woods, I use texture and tones to showcase the calmness found in nature.”
Garrett Low is inspired by subjects that are organically crafted by time. Using acrylic on canvas, he expresses the transformative rawness of life.

Antonella Sacconi
“My classical training as a photographer allows me to find "the ancient" in the "new" that feeds on those classical principles even where it seems to break every pattern and appear disharmonic. I often use black and white because I want the eye not to focus on color but on lines and structures, stripping the buildings and leaving "only"the bare shapes. I often use a human figure within the architecture, never in the foreground (sometimes rendered in silhouette) but perfectly inserted in the work, is equivalent to representing the Man in his unrepeatable meaning of Homo Faber, architect and user at the same time of what he creates.”
The "Homo Faber" project of photographer Antonella Sacconi, winds through a path of observation of structures and details of contemporary worldwide architecture. Her classical training allows her to find "the ancient" in that "new" that feeds on those classical principles even where it seems to break every pattern and appear disharmonic. The author uses black and white because she wants the eye not to focus on color but on lines and structures, stripping the buildings and leaving "only" the bare shapes. Her use, often, of a human figure within her architecture, never in the foreground (sometimes rendered insilhouette) but perfectly inserted in the work, is equivalent to representing the Man in his unrepeatable meaning of Homo Faber, architect and user at the same time of what he creates.These "Nude Forms" almost graphic, look at the always alive ancient and become a fil rouge that guides us as the thread of Ariadne, to not forget who we are and which are our roots.
