Her works’ collection becomes more and more diverse throughout the years andshe matures a predisposition on the use of strong and determined chromatic col-ours. Her whole work finds favor with the public interest, which leads to her partici-pation in several collective and personal art exhibitions. Abstract (Astrazioni) oil on canvas 80 x 60 cm 2011 Lights on the city ( Luci sulla città) oil on canvas 80 x 60 cm 2011“From a first analysis of Maria Ferrara’s art works, the observer is suddenly struck bythe extraordinary and enviable sense of composition. A way of painting that is tru-ly dreamy, so poetically profound and intense to the point that it reaches a quiteengaging result; a kind of painting which runs along the lines of imagination, defin-ing natural scenarios with her extremely secure way of expressing herself. A colourspread without repentances, dense and soft but at the same time brilliant, throughwhich the painter is able to produce unforeseen and unexpected shades, withinwhich she completely conveys herself and her truly sensitive soul, as the refined andcreative artist that she is.”- Simone Fappanni, Art critic.

Lasserre Mouvement d’espoir oil on painting 150 x 120 cm 2014 By painting, she found a way of expressing and sharing her perception of the world, her exaltations and her anxieties. Her art is a sort of testimony of the challenge of living together whilst trying to be unique. This is brightly evidenced in her various crowd scenes. She portrays crowds of individuals drowned in an alienating mass; yet through her palette of colors she is able to express the rich diversity of each indi- vidual, of each soul. However her work is not so much preoccupied by masses than by the fragility which leads us to abandon our individuality in an attempt to fit in. Oil and color create urban scenes in which our attention is first drawn to this recurrent crowd before we have come to a more nuanced view of the portraits. Her paintings succeed in establishing a connection with the viewer; our own hidden fears are eventually brought to life on the canvas.56 I HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015

Danny Van der Elstwww.dannyvanderelst.becontact: Danny Van der [email protected] Titlemedium mediumsize sizeyear year The work of Danny Van der Elst goes completely against any current standard of beauty in our society. Every day we are bombarded with images that proclaim a stereotype of men and women that we presumably should aspire to and we see how some people take those images or messages very seriously, provoking frustra- tion. His photographs are refreshing before this social phenomenon; we come into contact with women who are proud to be who they are and are not afraid to ap- pear vulnerable.60 I HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Spring 2015
Each image embodies a unique indi- viduality in itself that he does not alter, leaving it to express itself freely and without censorship. It is a photograph that does not judge or choose, and where the motto is less is more. “My photography is based entirely on the idea of empathy. Rather than sought after my images will always be to the point”. (Text: Carolina Schmidt, Arte Al Limite Magazine).

Germán Guerra Gonzalez Germán Guerra Gonzalez was born in Temuco city in Chile, 1957. Daily he works as a Computer Programmer. However, his spir- it and soul made him study photography in “Escuela de Foto Arte De Chile”. After fin- ishing his Photography Studies (1989) he felt that his mind, spirit and soul were connect- ed with the abstract world. His body and mind need this connection to survive and maintain mental sanity while in this world. His instinct told him that in the abstract world he is able to find the primitive and basic expres- sion of the human being. He could finally find freedom without predefined concepts and ideas.

Germán Guerra Gonzalez The abstract work represents the har- mony and balance that He isn’t able to find. He feels that when capturing an image, he is closer to something essential in the life; but that some- thing remains unknown. He can only say that when capturing an image, his mind, soul and spirit get a little more harmony, peace and balance.
