A simpleimperfection can be more attractive than bor-ing perfection. My current body of work focuses on an Intrigu-ing combination of texture, color, and compo-sition. Each piece is manipulated with a uniquesurface finish of textures.In my art I combine charcoal, pastels, water-color, ink, acrylic paint, pen and digital pho-tography to create textural abstract drawings.Regardless of the media, I strive to capture na-ture’s innate beauty through each of my piece.I try to focus on organic contours and uniquetextures.My hope is that the viewer is enticed to feelthe textures thus able to interact with the work.

LaraGhassanAlKhatib www.laragalkhatib.com Four Seasons acrylics on canvas, consists of 4 pieces dimensions of each piece, 70x140 cm, 2011 I paint out of passion… To me, art is self expression, communication, a tribute and an emotional portray. The first step in making decision in the course of my work is brainstorming for inspiring thoughts & views. Next, I visualize the concept of the painting in my head, how it will look like and the feelings it will provoke. Finally, I translate that on canvas leaving room for improvisation and spontaneous brush strokes. When it comes to techniques, I set myself free from any restric-tions, my style is neither classic norabstract, I see my self as an impression-ist. Themes are often chosen based onwhat moves me the most, a messageI would like to convey or even some-thing I come across that strikes me asinteresting and worth highlighting. Mycurrent work revolves around a groupof themes one of them is the theme ofAttraction, a collection that invites peo-ple to welcome all what’s positive intotheir lives.

Aktrice (EdithMariaLesnik) www.aktrice.netAktrice’s creations invite us to contemplate and enjoy. Eroticism and mysticism are joined toform an insoluble unity. Aktrice’s dramatic use of light and shadow and the intensity of hercolour, especially the colour red underscore her passion for life and the suffering that revealslife’s meaning to us. The artist shows us a world that seems to be unreal and yet at the sametime, speaks of very real people and emotions. She uses ordinary objects like roses and chainsas well as plants and buildings to symbolize the inner workings of our minds and souls. Aktrice’s love of detail is brilliantly executed through the use of the Old Masters mixed media techniques to attract the attention oft he viewer and to lead him into the magical world of her paintings. This painting technique goes back tot he late gothic era and makes it possible to create masterpieces of amazing colour intensity and lumi- nosity. Often oil paints produced by the artist themselves are used as well as colours that even today are made with granite rolls and cold pressed windmill-linseed oil. This very expensive and time consuming method produces immaculate, unaltered, lightfast colours. When will you open the lock oil on linen 50x50 cm MMXIII116 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

GabiDomenig www.domenigartdesign.at Angel with dove acrylic and pastels on paper 30x30 cm 2012Gabi Domenig is an Austrian painter. She concerns herself primarily with the representationof women. Her characters send out varied emotions such as pride, love, sadness, loneliness,joy and longing. They are sensuous, strong, vulnerable, thoughtful, dreamy, seductive andpromising. The figures are mostly located in a particular environment cutout. The strong col-ours, the expression of the eyes and the emotion should draw the viewer into its spell andanimate him to enter in a deeper communication with the figures in the picture. Flowers,plants, animals, patterns and landscape sections are decorative parts, but are usually situatedin the background.

GiancarloFlati www.giancarloflati.com Giancarlo Flati was born in Aquila. Winner of the Prize Michetti-Muse- um on 2005. According to Claudio Strinati* “Flati is an artist endowed with great awareness. The balance he displays between the spontane- ous flow of inspiration and the capacity to reflect on the work produced is a quality seldom found. While he has already been active for a good many years, there can be no doubt about the fact that his work fits in perfectly with the renewal of this new millennium. The master has in fact succeeded over the years in developing a highly personal style, deriving in part also from his specific experiences both in art and in sci-ence, to the point of bringing wholly spontaneous impulse into line with the results of intensereflection involving a convergence of psychological, metaphysical, technical and spiritualthemes.” It’s the subtle ad deep relationship between primordial Information and creativeconsciousness that represents the fertile ground and the substance of his artistic experience.*In “Giancarlo Flati Intersezioni del Tempo” – Matteo Editore 2008.

Meredith Cope www.meredithcope.comInfinite Energy, oil on canvas-(triptych), 64x30 inches, 2013There is a hyper realism to her work that is rarely used simultaneouslywith emotion, a pull, a belief. And yet all of these qualities are unde-niably trademarks of her work. She uses realistic form because of itsbeauty – plain and simple. But the work displays visionary, intuitivesymbolism because of the totally dreamlike and magical qualities pre-sent – which leads to the emotional attraction of the work and, for mostpeople, a deeper meaning. And by the way, isn’t that what we are? –realistic form with deeper meaning? Our bodies are tangible. Our pur-pose and meaning are not – until we manifest them. This body of workis the manifestation of the meaning and connection she perceives weall have in life to nature, each other, and to all that is.Interconnected, oil on canvas, 40x30 inches, 2012124 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

FrancesAlleblas www.francesalleblas.com Tedjakula’s horsebath (Covarrubias series) watercolour & char- coal on paper 150x180 cm 2013 Alleblas’ artwork consists of charcoal and pencil draw- ings, prints and watercolours of different sizes. The drawings have a figurative, narrative at- mosphere and show a world in which often-unexpected re- lations between different ele- ments confront the viewer withunclear feelings and certain confusion; beautiful butodly mysterious, disquieting.The work is not so much influenced by the art histor-ical context, but is more related to a wider view ofhuman experience, relations between cultures and re-lations between the self and other. The protagonists,whether human or animal, are enigmatic, elusive andseem absorbed in their own world.

www.godart.kr JuchulKimBrooklyn Bridge New York, oil on canvas, 72.7x53 cm, 2013 In recent years I have enjoyed drawing bridges and exploring their role and meaning. The bridge can represent many things to many people, such as history, cultural exchange and communication. I travelled to Eu- rope for 2 weeks in October 2011 and visited New York for my exhibition for a further 2 weeks, and these trips gave a new direction to my work as I observed bridges and the landscapes around them in their original col- ours. I am often reminded of the Simon and Garfunkel song “bridge over troubled water”, which evokes a feeling of the arduous journey of life in the 21st century and I hope to convey this in my pictures.Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Japan, oil on canvas, 182x62.2 cm, 2010 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook 143

JuliusBabilonia www.jba-d.comInked Born 1966, New Yorkoil on canvas City native, Julius Ba-90x120 cm bilonia studied at Pratt2013 Institute School of Ar- chitecture where he re- ceived his Bachelors of Architecture in 1990. Owner of JB Art and Design, a creative bou- tique design studio focusing on all aspects of Architectural Design, with the goal to provide a unique artistic approach to the design ex- perience. Julius searches for the heroic no- tions in all recurring shapes and movements of nature’s design and the ongoing man made evolving environment. Julius tries to reinter- pret these notions by using my own Artistic and Architectural fictional narratives. Each work is an interpretation of a new notion of design with the accidental free forming shapes and ambiguous landscapes.
