JUNE 2025

 

NANCY BALMERT,  renowned as “Queen of the Flowers” and recognized as “Ambassador to Nature,” oil

on canvas paintings are an ode to nature as she celebrates the kingdom of heaven and earth. Fusing her rich mosaic, chromatic color palette into a hyper-realism view of nature, she cajoles us to cherish our terrain as she brilliantly illustrates the subliminal effects of her enchanted natural realm, reminding us that nature is a divine gift from God to be eternally treasured.

            

PAUL CASTILLON reflects a sensorial realm synthesizing visceral sensations which coalesce into an abstract visual language as they passionately highlight the real and the imagined, while aesthetically morphing inner worlds and energizing them into outer realities, all guided by freedom, spontaneity and attention to process.

 

BARBARA CHRISTOL’S minimalist non-objective paintings conceptualize geometric forms through a

non-verbal language and three-dimensional spatial arrangement transcending words and recognizable images for pure expression, conveyed through atmospheric spectral hued abstract forms which highlight the depths of the human emotive experience.

                         

ANTHONY EMERTON channels reductive abstract imagery in his polychromatic, acrylic on paper paintings which deconstruct reality into organic, geometric shapes, resulting in a dynamic visual syntax of non-objective works which synthesize into incarnations of creativity as they resonate with a minimalistic view of the world.

 

NERYS LEVY artistically aligns a visceral response to nature on paper, encouraging us to treasure and conserve our environment, illustrating the importance of the terrain with dazzling international landscapes which bear a spectrum of exploding, chromatic colors, transforming the essence of nature into a resonant artistic narrative.

 

LORENZO MARINI’S “Type Art” cleverly recontextualizes the employment of Typography, liberating letters

from their conventional role in his algorithmic style which ingeniously visualizes the universe through the tantalizing repetition of  letters, shapes and figures, conveyed by a complement of prismatic colorization.

​

SOPHIA MILLIGAN’S rainbowed-hued floral paintings illustrate her love with nature which are kissed by the sun and embraced by the moon, portraying a delicate balance between the earth and the sky, luminescently encapsulating the ephemeral essence of the terrain while externalizing the spiritual inner visions of nature.

 

ANNE SWAN MOORE’S lyrical nature-inspired garden series explores the sensorial legacy of nature, continuing humankind’s profound quest to find beauty in our natural terrain as she polychromatically encapsulates the enchantment of the flora and fauna realm with illuminated reveries which optically showcase the joy of visions of earthly delight.

 

JOHN PETERS’ incandescent “Gems of the Forest” Series commemorates in dazzling tones the  celestial glories of a more abstracted view of nature, synthesizing an extraordinary inter-connection between man and the terrain, manifesting this spectrum of internal emotions into a glowing, majestic mosaic vision of the external environment.   

                    

KAREN PONELLI’S floral- inspired oeuvre transcribes the floral kingdom with iridescent blossoms

and  shimmering effusions of luminous light, and is renowned for evoking a sense of atmospheric peace which is

characterized by a harmonious pearlescent blend of impressionism, contemporary realism, and abstraction.

 

SAMANTHA REALI, Surrealist Painter, explores the threshold between perceived reality and the dimensions of imagination. Visually narrating hidden stories of luminal states and unknown perspectives, her hybrid universe powerfully weaves a web of our subconscious.

 

SALLY  RUDDY’S  nature-inspired “Found Beauty” series lyrically symbolizes the peace and beauty found in the quiet moments of the natural terrain, as she magically searches to discover the hidden allure of nature as it is intermingled with the human experience, shining her spotlight on the luminescent beauty in flowers, landscape and her grand daughter.

 

YASMINE SHIMI’S exuberant abstracted-figurative “One with Nature” series are prints under acrylic glass,  blending Abstract Expressionism with a Mediterranean -hued color palette, featuring mysterious figures who mirror the mystique of the individual within a nature environment.

 

SOU’S luminous abstract expressionist compositions are portals to the human soul which are emotionally infused by a need to connect internal emotions with the external world, as they viscerally manifest the essence of the human spirit and are highlighted by shimmering, opulent colors and tantalizing textures.
