HANNA KUZNIATSOVA

On a daily basis, Art is the key to find harmony and balance inside yourself. Painting somehow helps to overcome everyday life, to be a little above ordinary. Personally, I think Art guarantees the sanity for life.” – Hanna writes.

HANNA KUZNIATSOVA

Hanna is a contemporary architect and artist. Regardless of the acceptance of the strictness of the lines, which implies architecture, Hanna’s Artworks are more abstract, plastic and nature-oriented than strictly drawn. The main source of inspiration to Hanna is Nature. The constant themes of her work are flowers, green foliage and abstraction. Mountains and sensations of them reflect on Hanna’s paintings which performed on the verge of reality and abstraction. Hanna’s Art works are made with the use of oil and soft pastel on different colors of paper and canvas.

DAGMAR BOCAKOVA

“Between Lines” is a strictly monochromatic project about flow of emotions, thought and ideas constantly present as a background data in our brain. As a passionate reader, I am quick in weaving sentences from books into my everyday thoughts,

DAGMAR BOCAKOVA

but between lines is not only about literature, but also about racing thoughts in the middle of the night, feeling of loneliness, love for music, longing for places that probably don’t even exist and pragmatic things like muscle pain and insomnia

In “Organseries” I express my life-long fascination by biological structures, physiology and anatomy. What is hidden inside us can be perceived as creepy and pretty in the same time in both literally sense and as an allegory. I use innocent looking children-like illustration as a tool of metaphorical dissection of human bodies and minds to expose the contradiction between logical need to appreciate a well-functioning machine of our body, and an irrational disgust rooted in stereotypes, lingering deep in our minds. As a symbol, livers, brains, hearts etc. represent also our hidden thoughts, behavioral schemes, and whole spectrum of emotions. Things, that are like organs, directing our lives from beneath the surface invisible, but functioning all the time no matter how much attention we give them.

“Lullabies with Literature” is my ongoing project inspired by literary quotes. When I read, I do savor a beauty of sentences and as a person with very vivid visual imagination I can see my way of illustrating these words.

In the “Habitat series”, I want to point out how places and animals are inseparably bounded. Heroes of this series are living in forests, fields, rivers, and oceans or share space with us in urban areas. Pictures of the habitat series were created to appreciate the fragile equilibrium in nature, and to celebrate beauty, complexity, power, and resilience of nature.

As a visual artist and illustrator, I take my inspiration from science and literature, but also question social stereotypes and sometimes talk about my personal life and emotions. Collecting ideas along my career and life path, I find inspiration in human and animal physiology as well as in botany and environmental sciences and my beloved literature and pour all these inputs into series of small, but very detailed drawings.

FRANK JALSOVSKY

In den Kunstwerken von Frank sind mehrere unterschiedliche Themen zu finden. Es überwiegen aber vor allem Werke mit humanistischem Inhalt. Er schuf menschlich einfühlsame Werke. Darunter befinden sich graphische Blätter mit existentialistisch-philosophischem Hintergrund.

FRANK JALSOVSKY

Somit sind sie beunruhigend, dramatisch aufregend und zugleich warnend. Sie umfassen eine breite Palette von Themen und Motiven und reichen von der Urzeit – Venus, Tiere, Jäger aus Altamira – über antike Einflüsse und über die Renaissance bis in unser unruhiges Zeitalter.

Mit seinem originellen Schaffen etablierte er sich mit Erfolg auf dem internationalen Feld der bildenden Kunst. Jalsovsky stellte seine Werke in Amerika, Europa und Asien aus, wo er eine Vielzahl von Preisen und hervorragenden Kritiken errang.

Sein Kunstwerk mit dem Titel “Knowledge” ist Teil der größten grafischen Sammlung der Welt, welche in der Galerie Albertina in Wien beherbergt wird.

Frank schafft halbabstrakte Drucke mit philosophisch-mystischen Elementen, wobei er vor allem den traditionellen Techniken wie der Radierung, der Aquatinta, dem Mezzotinto und der Kaltnadel die Treue hält.

Seine Werke sind rund um die Welt in einer großen Anzahl von Galerien und Privatsammlungen vertreten. Zu den Besitzern seiner Werke gehören prominente Persönlichkeiten wie Bill Clinton, der ehemalige Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten, sowie der Sultan von Brunei Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Waddaulah Muízzaddin und viele andere prominente Persönlichkeiten.

Derzeit befindet sich sein Name samt seinem Werk unter den drei besten Grafikern und unter 200 bildenden Künstlern in der internationalen Enzyklopädie der lebenden Künstler. Mit Stolz können wir sagen, dass er mit seinen Werken im Ausland ein Zeugnis über die Größe der slowakischen bildenden Kunst ablegt.

STEFANIA PINSONE

With a degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and another in Art History from the University of Rome, Stefania Pinsone is a skilled artist who has developed her own unique style of digital-realistic painting. Using acrylic paints with a fine brush and juxtaposing intense colors with geometric lines,

STEFANIA PINSONE

she is able to reproduce her chosen subject with photographic expertise. She has been strongly influenced by the art of Gerhard Richter, whose paintings celebrate the photographic image with all its shakes and blurs, and she pays similar homage to the digital image with its disturbances such as jpeg effects, glitches, chromatic aberrations, “like,” “play,” and loading symbols, etc. Reproducing images taken from social media sites, dating websites and mass media, she has created a series of paintings, which are entirely made by hand and one of a kind, and yet they are wholly in dialogue with modern technology.
