BYDORAPAL is not simply a painter. She is a storyteller who gives form to emotions that often escape language. Her work carries traces of classical fashion and elegance, but what sets her apart is the way she uses paint to reach inward. In her hands, an oil painting is more than color and surface—it is a vessel for memory, balance, and quiet reflection. Every detail, from a soft brushstroke to a bold hue, becomes part of a narrative. Her compositions hold a sense of calm and grace, but they also touch deeper layers of human experience. She paints as if…
Nicola Mastroserio does not chase trends. He does not cater to the art market’s hunger for commodification. Instead, he pursues something deeper—an exploration of reality that resists easy answers. His work is a meditation on existence, a quiet but persistent questioning of the nature of life, intelligence, and the unseen forces that shape our world. To encounter his art is to step into a space where symbols and forms transcend decoration. It is philosophy translated into image, gesture, and installation. Mastroserio searches not for novelty, but for essence—for what remains when distraction and superficiality are stripped away. He invites us…
Michel Marant, born August 4, 1945, in Saint-Junien, France, has shaped a career defined by his closeness to nature and the daily rhythm of life. He trained at the National School of Decorative Arts in Limoges and is registered with the Maison des Artistes. Over the decades, his practice has shifted toward a personal contemporary art nouveau style, blending pencil, acrylic, oil, and collage on canvas, paper, or cardboard. Marant is connected internationally—he is part of the “Academy Atlanta” in the United States and is referenced in art market listings such as AKOUN and ART PRICE. His certification as an…
David R.L. is a 29-year-old autistic artist, poet, and musician from Marshalltown, Iowa. With 17 years of fine arts experience, his creative journey is one of persistence, imagination, and deep reflection. He began drawing at the age of seven, fascinated by ancient Egyptian artifacts and still life studies. What started as pencil sketches soon grew into a practice that spans painting, drawing, poetry, and music. For David, art has always been more than expression—it is survival, communication, and connection. His practice moves between visual and written language, between rhythm and silence, between the external world and his inner landscapes. David’s…
Cheryl Crane-Hunter is a multifaceted artist whose work moves beyond visual beauty and into something deeper. With a foundation in art education and a lifelong reverence for the natural world, she creates works that are at once meditative and symbolic. Her pieces are not simply images of trees, oceans, or landscapes. They are invitations to slow down and reconnect with what grounds us. For Cheryl, nature is more than subject matter. It is a partner in the creative process. Whether it is the gentle sweep of a tree branch or the layered blues of water, her paintings embody calm, healing,…
José Brito doesn’t paint to decorate a wall. He paints to wrestle with the world. His canvases don’t whisper or sit politely in the background—they demand attention. With heavy black ink, glued fragments of newspaper, and restless energy, his paintings carry the feeling of urgency, as though they’ve been waiting decades to break through the surface. His work is less about calm contemplation and more about confrontation—about facing the chaos of modern life head-on. Standing before a Brito canvas isn’t like admiring an object of beauty; it’s closer to being pulled into a vortex of ideas, fragments, and histories all…
Deborah K. Tash was born in 1949 and grew up in California’s Bay Area. From an early age, she saw no need to separate poetry from painting. Words and images carried the same weight for her, each a way of telling story. She calls herself a Mestiza, rooted in the Mexican heritage of her mother and the Celtic lineage of her father. This mixture is not just a genealogical fact—it is the lens through which she sees the world. For Tash, culture and ancestry are more than memory. They are ongoing, living presences. Her work is a place where they…
David Burch’s artistic journey is layered with the unexpected. Born in Alberta, Canada, he did not begin his adult life with a paintbrush in hand. In 1967, at the age of 23, he completed a second degree with First Class Honours in Sociology at the University of Calgary. Shortly after, he moved east to Toronto, where he spent nearly three decades. Those years opened doors not only to a career and a new city, but also to art itself. What began as collecting grew into a calling, and Burch shifted from sociology toward the canvas. His eventual embrace of abstract…
Jane Gottlieb is an artist who has built her life around the language of color. Born and based in Los Angeles, she began with painting, then shifted toward photography, only to circle back by bringing the painter’s hand into her photographic work. Over three decades ago, she entered a new phase of creativity: hand-painting Cibachrome prints, a medium that allowed her to merge photography with her love of bold, saturated hues. Her work doesn’t sit neatly in one category—it carries the discipline of painting, the immediacy of photography, and the vision of someone unwilling to stop at the surface. Through…
Sebastian Di Mauro, an artist hailing from Australia, embarked on a transformative journey to the United States, a land far from his homeland. In this new environment, he discovered not only the intricate interplay of identity but also a way to express it through art. His move to the USA was not simply a relocation but a personal transformation. Guided by his spouse, who calls Wilmington, Delaware home, Di Mauro set out to explore a nation layered with contradictions. Like many who grew up in Australia, he had absorbed an idea of America through television and film—images of possibility, promise,…
