Glissando

2017 oil on canvas

Miroir rhénan

2021 ink on canvas


In both of these flamboyant scenes, the eye is drawn to the center of the happening. In each composition a tunnel of light invites towards a destination where neither earth nor sky exist, yet all focus lies in life itself. Its nature glowing in the golden autumn light.

Serafino Botticelli

Italy

 
Senza Titolo

2021 oil on canvas

Il dubbio è una forma di intelligenza, che ci fa crescere, ci apre a nuovi scenari a noi sconosciuti, una ricerca libera formale ed estetica in gardo di uscire dai canoni più consueti in modo potente e magico.

Franco Bulfarini

Ciclo astrazione psicologica – 2 – la nascita della vita

2022 mixed media on canvas

La vista, organo di senso, si limita a sorvolare con volo radente la superficie dell’opera, per cogliere asperità, rugosità, bagliori,
toni e fusioni cromatiche, ricercando equilibri estetici. Vedere in superficie non basta a comprendere fino in fondo l’arte, solo ad accogliere
se presente il decoroso approccio tecnico. L’opera d’arte cerca altro per donarsi e svelarsi fino in fondo, insegue una relazione con la
psiche di chi osserva, vuole toccarne con afflato sinestetico l’animo, ed ha sempre il fine di elevare lo spirito del fruitore attraverso il
processo emozionale.

Solo per un giorno

Solo per un giorno evoca l’aspirazione ad una forma, ad una passione di vita, che non conosce calcoli e confini precostituiti.

Things are not always what they seem

2021 mixed media on canvas

This piece represents the mind of an introverted artist. Sitting still, but on the inside, there is a combination of structured intensity and an element of control. An exploration into determination and an outlook on all the possible potentials on what lies ahead.

Blue leaves

2020 fine art print limited edition 1/5

I think it consists of different layers that all I am, the more insights and experiences the more layers.

Un’ombra dal Paradiso

2021 mixed media on wood

Il paradiso dantesco, sintetizzato nella figura ieratica di una Beatrice pressoché assente, si riempie di una diafana luce, mentre i movimenti armonici dei cieli si concretizzano nella musicalità scomposta dei chiaroscuri.

Alina Gane-Hurcomb

Tempo di riflessione

2022 acrilyc with gold leaf

In this piece I have tried to capture the relationship between the Cartesian theories of identity (“I think therefore I am”) and wealth; the development of this painting literally required time for reflection and the notion of time contributing to both ‘the self’ and ones interpretation of ‘wealth’ as a construct.

Skyline open water

2020 acrylic on canvas

My works are strongly influenced by my studies in architecture and love for nature. Skylines and stairwells fascinate me to this day and are my favorite subject. My work: “skylines deep water” is a mixed technique of acrylic paint, filler and nets, painted on canvas.

The promise

2021 acrylic, resin and razor blade

“The Trio, “Red, Blue with Green”, “The Promise”, and “I Like Red Over Pink” present a theme of vision. Bringing the audience into a different approach to seeing is believing. This collection tells the story of an alternate vantage point, directing viewers to look beyond the crimson, dark, painful place we often survive, fighting through to more colorful, meaningful days. Inspiration found in one’s perception can change everything.
Gillespie guides us through the pain in his translation of healing. Subconsciously promoting the “only way out is through” mentality. The Artist’s depiction is honest and visceral, exposing vulnerability as a superpower.”

Acending 

2022 acrylic on canvas 

 A constant journey through the differences of reality, from bothoms cold and darkness, to the light and warmth of the surface, a journey that shapes my inner self.

 

Extreme position 

2019 acrylic on canvas 

I am, able to take this position, even on a red-hot surface, that´s what makes me unique.

Honigregen

Simulated experience

2022 digital photo collage/acrylic

I think that the spectators will feel some kind of story from this artwork, which is composed of a collage of memories of existing in scenery and objects, and my own memories of drawings. In this work, “Simulated experience” I hope that spectators will experience memories that lie dormant in the depths of others or themselves through the artwork.

The kapok

2021 oil on canvas

This work is not only one that people observe carefully but also one that people feel rhythmically. Kapok is one of strong plants to live even if they don’t get water very much. Also, this kapok is colored by pink which is more modernly and people feel a carefreeness.

A boot or a boat?

2021 oil on canvas

This artwork depicts a man who did not have his own ship, so instead he used a shoe
to get to know more and more fascinating and mysterious spaces. If he really wants
to achieve his goal, the fact that he doesn’t have the right equipment can’t ruin his
desire.

Nirvana

2021, Malcesine

L’armonia è la meta dello spirito e della materia, perchè solo così, entrambi possono identificarsi.

Transgenic individual

2020 pastel on paper

Due to the progressive scientific excesses in genetic engineering, I spontaneously came up with the idea to paint the picture “transgenic individual”. This picture is intended to shake you up, because transgenic excesses will be normal in the 21st century.

Janus

2018 copper (brushed and oxidized), brass

A decision is the threshold for a new direction. At the moment I find myself in this process, my authenticity is needed to look on all sides and beyond. It is a matter of finding the path from where to direct the sight to the point where you want to be.

Tears valley

2020 oil on canvas

My pieces are sensorial paintings that convey energies and movement in space: full or empty. Evasion and freedom are the cornerstones of my technique.
This artwork oscillates between the figurative and the abstract to facilitate a constant and patient balance.

Life is flaming up

2022 japan paper, photo

Obviously, we are all alive. When you seized with lots of despair and the heart fit to break, or lots of happiness filled your heart, When you were betrayed by a reliable beloved and felt alone, or be grasped your really feels by a bastard, but couldn’t help feeling less alone, The Heart always continues to beat, Have a meal when feel hungry, Drink water when get thirst, And go to sleep when get tired. Please love all your emotions which only humans, or nobody but you can feel. That’s exactly what only you can do. Now, the Life is living you is majestically flaming up.

My mind explosion in a strange world

“My mind explosion in a strange world” let you see how my feelings touch the canvas.

The sense of infinity

2020 oil on board

The central figure of my work, The sense of infinity, is absorbed by space. The direction of the wall pulls the gaze inward. Towards the uncertain world. A deep red bar closes the horizon. On the right side human figures rise in the wall. Maybe they’ll come to life now.

Pentraĵo kvardek du (n.42)

Pentraĵo kvardek kvar (n.44)

2021 acrylic on canvas

An austere setting, a window from which movement emerges, a free thought that escapes from its shackles to twirl around like a farandole.

La Fissure

2022 oil/lin spatula

The crack is chaotic. It is united and divided at the same time.

Capri

2021 mixed media giglée print

L’uomo è uomo. La donna è donna.
La femmina è invece uomo, donna, è cosa, è tutto ciò che facendo d’istinti e fantasia, di sensualità, di sessualità.
Insieme del palese e del nascosto, evidenza dell’ oltre che giace sotto una linea dell’orizzonte alla portata di tutti.
Capri è femmina, della miglior specie.

Just before sunrise

2018 mixed media

This piece describes a deep passion for someone and the dream time an hour just before dawn, that took me to them even if I couldn’t be with them in person.

Yin and Yang in a digital hiroshige wave

2022 digital art

Ghostly forest in red and yellow

2022 photo and digital art

 

My first concept is to play with reality, to change photographic reality. Finding the new, not the known, coincidence and intention during the creative process. Finding new shapes and colors from the existing ones with the computer.

My second concept is to design artificial worlds on the computer in a painterly way. To mix abstract with representational or simply to create abstract.

Signs of time VII

2022 acrylic on gessoboard

The inspiration for this painting were old houses. Life leaves its traces and where better to see this, than in an old house where generations have lived. Every generation leaves its colour, its traces and you remove one layer to paint over with your color, but still underneath the old one is present.
