Dana Zivanovits - Dana Zivanovits was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio and received his art training from the Columbus College of Art and Design (1978 to 1982). After art school, he went abroad for a year and studied the art of the old masters in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Venice. Returning to his studio in Columbus to develop these influences into a new body of work, he then traveled to Mexico and studied the sculpture and painting of that country for an extended period. The unique and vivid colors of Palenque and Vera Cruz intensified his palette. After a period in Ohio, he then moved to Venice Beach, California where the brilliant light of the region reinforced his desire to capture effects of sunlight and atmosphere. Returning to Ohio in 1995, he has continued to paint themes deriving inspiration form sources such as world mythology, classic and B-grade cinema, literature and dreams. However his primary inspiration is direct observation from nature, versus an approach based in art theories or cultural critique. Dana has been widely represented by galleries and exhibition projects including Julie Rico and Mega Boom in Los Angeles, the Venice Art Detour, Around the Coyote Festival in Chicago ...

Rosa D Alessio - Drawing and painting, alongside horses - riding or even just being with them, is what I enjoy doing the most! I have always drawn for as long as I can remember...

After school I studied dress design, and worked in the trade for some years but, although I still do some designing, I realized (better late than never) that dress design wasn't my true vocation and took up drawing and painting again. Painting is definitely a soothing task, it relaxing and it is very is satisfying to create and see the lines and the colours that emerge from the hand as if by magic. The moment of painting can be excellent therapy, maybe because.... like when being with horses... you don't (with horses for safety reasons you can't) think of anything else, but concentrate on the ...

Guillermo Von Plocki - I always thought that art can transform people, first to transform me, I made a person more sensitive to nature and others. I think if transformation begins with us, we are an example to others, and each day more, especially as a teacher, an example had to exercise even greater. Painting is my way of expression and thus everything and lived and observed, as well as my experiences. I hope you like them so fascinated me as having painted. ...
