We react to symbols, coloursand images in certain ways. Can you imagine a worldwithout symbols? We all use symbols to live and work.Some we “read”, like the stop sign or the sign for theladies or gents toilet - these are universal. Other sym-bols of images promote an emotional response - andart taps into this area. That’s why I love art.... that’s whypeople try to paint what makes them feel deeply.... inthe hopes that their emotional response will make oth-ers feel then same way...” (Unknown) HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015 I 3

Friendship acrylic on canvas 80 x 60 cm 2014The full-time artist Anna Hausmann was born in 1983 in Russia and came to Germanyat age six. Here she grew up in the wind stream (Ansbach district) which has beenpainting since the age of 16 and now lives with her husband and son in the gap. Their colourful and high-contrast images are acryl- ic that certain something visible in the form of faces, symbols and dots. If you study the works of Anna Haus- mann, cannot verhelen a certain stylistic proximity to the great Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor Pablo Picasso - not be hidden. (18811973). “Picasso is my biggest role model,” - says Anna. Anna Hausmann images are line-stressed and inspi- rational surrealism. The boundaries between painted and real object up to the object flow smoothly into one. The stations have a “modern” in a positive way and also show echoes of Synthetic Cubism, as he was found about 1912 to 1916 in the history of art...

With inspirations like Frank Lloyd Wright and Salvidor Dali, he studied inhis own time and painstakingly created his own technique which would allow himto achieve photorealism in his work. After about 8 years of intensive independenttraining he began exhibiting and was recognized for his proficiency despite neverhaving been conventionally taught in any art school, a few of his pieces in particularbeing directly compared to Dali’s “Persistence of Memory”.Deluxe Capestandard writing pencilon paper4 x 9 in2014 HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015 I 25

Voss has most recently been working in a more direct way as he further studies the causes and effects of narratives, as objects act as surrogates for an idea or story being told. By painting fragmented parts onto a solid background Voss further dialogs and re- flects on fragments or rejected parts as being unified onto a permanent ground.32 I HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015

Interesting FactsPart 1 During Renaissance and particularly in 1500s artistic painting was not considered a suitable occupation for a gentleman. Since painting involved working with hands, artists were considered craftsmen and were giv- en the same social standing as tailors or shoemakers. The Renaissance masterpiece “The Pi- eta” is the only work that Michelangelo Buonarroti ever signed. He later regret- ted what he considered an outburst of pride and vowed to never sign anoth- er work again. The Pieta is housed at St. Peter Basilica in Vatican City. Michelangelo Buonarroti’s father Lodovico was horri- fied when he found out that Michelangelo decided to become an artist. Michelangelo was often beaten by his father and uncles when he first began to draw. Lo- dovico was proud of his ancestry and he worried that an artist in the family will bring the family a disgrace (Image on the left: Restorers spot lost self-portrait of Re- naissance master Michelangelo in Vatican fresco). Leonardo Da Vinci started painting Mona Lisa in 1504 or 1505 and finished only shortly before he died in 1519. Some reports say that it took him 10 years. Pablo Picasso was considered a suspect in the theft of Mona Lisa in 1911. He was arrested and questioned after his friend Guillaume Apol- linaire pointed a finger at Picasso. Both were later cleared and released. HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015 I 35

Donnedieu de Vabres www.lauredonnedieu.com contact: Donnedieu de Vabres [email protected] France Laure Donnedieu has discovered the bullfighting envi- ronment 30 years ago and is interested in it in different ways. After a first training in various painting workshops, she were specialized in the bullfighting painting under dif- ferent formats: traditional bullfighting, horse bullfighting, bulls at land at the beginning in a very figurative way. Then, step by step, she has moved to a more abstractive technique emphasizing on the moves and lights very typi- cal from the bullfighting culture. For the last 4 years, Laure has enlarged her scope of practice and is now painting cities like Paris or New York by using knife and acrylic tech- niques. She is also interest in street art.

Marcio Decker Colliding Elements mixed media www.deckerfinearts.com 62 x 32 in contact: Marcio Decker 2013 [email protected] BrazilDecker’s abstract optical, mixed media pieces ex-plore the effects of dimensional expansion on thecanvas’ surfaces using acrylic paint in predomi-nantly vibrant and contrasting hues, layered com-positions and textures. The process involves opticand kinetic qualities to augment, enhance anddisplace color, texture and light in the works. Thepieces then radiate, glow and move with the view-er.The process starts with freedom of expression andmovement, flourishing imagination without restric-tions and calculations. A place of contemplationand inspiration is established. Layers of paint andtextures are overlapped generating dimensions,compared by the artist to his experiences, and thefinal coatings of pigment, glazes or metallic finishesare carefully applied utilizing fine decision makingand technical skills, developed in the past 25 years,taking the paintings to a completion. This processcan take many days, weeks, months or years. Last-ly, a glass lens that ends the process and enhanc-es, illuminates and bends form while concealingexperiences and protecting the painting.

Igor nelubovich H 401 acrylic on canvas 145 x 95 cm 2014 www.igornelubovich.com contact: Igor Nelubovich [email protected] Russia I have always been interested in art, spending hours drawing since early childhood. I went to Art College, but soon realized that the most important thing for me was to be able to develop my individual style, not focus on learning the specific things taught there. I work in oil or acrylic on canvas, and am inspired by the world around me. I create landscapes which sometimes verge on abstraction. I am continually searching for perfection, not worrying about particular subjects but rather on com- posing something that is ‘right’ in an inexplicable sense.
