TRAVEL IN AN ALIEN'S BRAIN TISSUES. Acryl on Canvas, 115cm x 95cm. 2018
IGOR PROKOP was born in Budapest in 1953. He graduated from the Teacher Training College in Eger as a teacher of Biology and drawing in 1978. Igor studied Biology at József Attila University and Arts between 1981 and 1983 in Szeged, then philosophy in 1984 in Budapest. He also studied film aesthetics in 1987 and between 1991 and 1993 he studied design at the University of Applied Arts. Igor Prokop studied and worked in New York, Heidelberg, Auckland and several other places around the world. Everything is connected - nothing is meaningless. It does matter how you live, what you create, if you are going to have children, and what you are going to leave to them and their children as well. It does matter how much enlightenment you achieve! Every one of us has his own inner world made out of experience and personal learning within the system. “I want to preserve the past and to design the future. I want

to protect the universal systems and I would like to protect the teachings of those that have thought me everything: The Organon by Aristoteles; Holbach, On the Road by Kerouac; Jack London, Arnold Gehlen, Stephen Hawking and several other teachers from art, music, history and even from the internet. They all became guides on my way.” – Igor Prokop. “Our world permits no further mistakes. United mankind can solve its problems. We must work together! This is my final goal, the inspiration for my pictures: To create tolerant, creative and cooperative systems that are heading toward a spiritual unity. Everyone must learn and teach at his realm, everyone must learn to work together with the power of art. For it is only possible to compare the power of art to that of nature herself” stated Igor Prokop. https://www.saatchiart.com/account/profile/98903

A MOMENT ON THE HIGHLINE. I was inspired the moment I picked up my first Minox camera as a young boy. After over four decades of success in the court reporting and video world, I returned to my passion to create a number of award-winning photographs. Growing up in Brooklyn at the Pride of Judea Children’s Home, someone gave me a Minox spy camera. I took candid photos of kids in dorms through unhinged door cracks, sometimes producing very humorous results. Invited into their darkroom, I began experimenting with black and white film. While the sparks of my passion for photography were ignited, it would be decades before I would circle back to light the fire. As a young man, I attended Interboro Institute of Business in Manhattan. Ultimately successful, my two companies were acquired nationally by Veritext Litigation Services, where I served as VP-Florida.
nationally, have had my work featured in museums and galleries, and traveled the world to photograph landscapes, wildlife, people, architecture and adventure. I only take a picture when there is passion behind the shutter. My signature style can be recognized by its depth and texture and ability to draw the viewer into the picture, bringing still images to life.
I honed my photography through video conferencing and legal videography. Having my first exhibition in 2003 in Coconut Grove, over 175 people attended. I was very encouraged by the 24 sales.
I am gratified when people enjoy my work. If my photographs evoke a connection or emotion, I have succeeded in sharing my work with others.
My collections have had shown at more than fifty exhibitions
A sample of my style is illuminated in my work “Cigar Lady,” taken in Old Havana, Cuba, as she inhales on what looks like a foot-long cigar. The photograph received seven awards and was displayed at a private reception at Musee de Louvre in Paris. One of my most treasured assignments was when King Mohammed VI of Morocco invited me to photograph his country’s annual festival, Moussem de Tan-Tan. It was an honor gifting my work to the King. I am humbly pleased by the awards and honors I have received, numbering over 40.

THE COLD KISS. Oil on Canvas, 36" x 36" x 1.5 "
LAELANIE LARACH was born in Honduras, a beautiful country in Central America with coasts on the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The country has three major and dramatic large regions. To the east are the tropical Caribbean lands with jungles, lagoons, mountains, sandy beaches and islands of the Mosquito Coast. Also in the center of the country is a large interior hill the Sierra Madre Mountains, crossed by a number of rivers, each with its own beauty and character. It was this beautiful combination of mountains, tropical forests, and sandy beaches that inspired at a young age to begin experimenting with her artistic expression. In her earliest work she used pastels, watercolors, and charcoal after winning some 8 • Art & Beyond • May/June 2019
small art contests in school, she was inspired to expand her work into the medium of oil on canvas. This resulted in her amazing masterpiece in oil, the painting called, “Mysterious Forest.” Each one of her paintings is unique with a signature in her work of vibrant colors and concepts. Throughout her body of work one can see themes drawn from her early experiences in Honduras, including aspects of her inner thoughts and emotions. She has said that she feels truly alive and in harmony with nature when she is painting also her work spans various schools of art, from the abstract to detailed realism. https://laelanieart.com

ILLUMINATION.
My work is a contemporary statement through the perception on Inner and outer space juxtaposing with time and space of life experiences. I incorporate visual, emotional and psychological impressions of urban tension, raw emotions and harsh realities tempered with gentle optimism and beauty seeking t h e combination of objective and non-objective serves a s matrix between nature and mankind. celebrating the transformation of surface, the spontaneous act of aesthetics and artistic expression become living imagery in a joy of color and above all the creative energy of life. By creating art for me the most satisfying way of working is the combination of the abstract and the figure. The freedom of abstraction and the emotions that the figure can carry with t h e symbolic potential of the objective world and t h e possibilities abstraction presents in suggesting the unknown. My paintings operate somewhere between abstraction and the cognitive world, between the known and the unknown.
My goal is to leave a cognitive space for viewers to fill in. I want my work to provide a chance to see things from different perspectives with the dimensions of the pieces viewers to become conscious of their physical relationship to the objects and scale proportion and humanity to elicit an emotional and intellectual response in my viewers. Art has always been an important part of my life. BFA and MFA Post graduated continued practice as Visual artist and educator. I live and work in Maryland, USA. with lifelong artistic career in various areas and influences that run deep, travelled internationally, has been represented by various Galleries and has successfully held extensive exhibitions nationally and internationally. Painting is a wondrous journey for me. nipun07@gmail.com • 301-552-3702

TALKING HEADS. Mixed Media on Cardboard, 9.8" x 6.9"
While I’m a classically trained master stone carver, as an artist and sculptor I work in a variety of materials. I express my conceptually driven ideas in novel sculptural form, experimenting with texture, materials, color, or interactive elements. Observing the natural world and mystery of transformation inspires me. I’m fascinated by a harmony of contradictions between chaos and order, darkness and light, bad and good. I explore how they’re interconnected, how they can stay in balance, and how the meaning of thought or beauty can take shape in physical form. My art is a search for the roots where and how form is born, gets a soul, and begins life on its own. The combination of space and lines varying in size, angles, directions and 10 • Art & Beyond • May/June 2019
complexity creates the form (Space + Line = Form). I look beyond the bounds of time toward what is unchanged from the Stone Age to the digital era, using whatever methods and materials can best bring my vision to life. I am a creator, an action-oriented man who is excited to make new things. For me, art is as natural and necessary as breathing or eating. It gives my life purpose. My artwork indulges my curiosity about the world and allows me to communicate and engage with others. Art is my contribution to society. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, I am now a resident of Silicon Valley. As an international man and product of globalization, I live and work in the shrinking space between traditions of the past and uncertainty of the emerging future. www.Lobykin.com

WAVEFORMS. Digital Painting, 32" x 40"
KATHLEEN MILES’ digital art consists of bold and colorful abstracts. The compositions are built with geometric elements, as well as painterly details and textures that are revealed when viewed at close range. Patterns, shapes and forms are repeated, but the iterations vary. Energy, movement and rhythm are strong components of the work, pulsing directionally to move the viewer through the painting. Color is a vital element. The duality of experience: emotions, spirituality and the lens of the psyche, on the one hand, and the physical, tangible, sensate world on the other, inspire the dynamics of her art. Her work has been selected to be a part of many juried invitational exhibits, and has received awards, including: Current: 2018-2019 American Art Awards, received 3rd Place award in Digital Art Non-Representational Category, Juried by 25 of America’s Best Museums and Galleries.

Natalya B. Parris
CHERRY BLOSSOM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.. Acrylic on Canvas, 12" x 12"
NATALYA B. PARRIS is a strong believer in contributing to the community by promoting art awareness and education. This is why she likes to display her artworks at the agricultural fairs, community centers, and public libraries. By visiting those places, children from a very young age have an opportunity to see diverse art media and learn that the world is very colorful with many unique ways to express yourself such as writing books or creating an artwork.
Ms. Parris created a unique artistic style - “Emotional Counterpoints in Paint – Dots” where perfectly round dots are overlaid onto sections of a previously painted picture. To express very powerful emotions, she piles the dots on one another and the dots, like music notes, interact with the rhythm of the melody - creating emotional counterpoints in a three-dimensional painting. Her dots connect her past as a civil engineer, when she was doing many engineering drawings by hand (it was the time when she learned to paint such perfect dots) and the present time, when she uses those dots to create her “Emotional Counterpoints in Paint “– dots artworks. Artwork Cherry Blossom in Washington, D.C. won 2nd Place at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair 2018 in Gaithersburg, MD.
Ms. Parris teaches art classes for children and adults at the Arts Barn, Gaithersburg, MD and at the BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown, MD. Through the art she explains her students that there is a place for every individual to express their inner world; there are as many options as there are souls. Ms. Parris hopes her artworks encourage each adult to look at the world around them as they did when they were children; You can see more of her artworks on Facebook page Natalya to be very open-minded and curious about new things.

Tina Ybarra
GOOD FENCES. Oil on Canvas, 16" x 20"
TINA YBARRA lives a mixed media life. Born in the urban city of Lynwood, CA, Ybarra attended Cal State Univ., Long Beach off and on (mostly off) for several years, eventually earning a degree in General Art. Currently residing in South Gate, CA, Ybarra is a veteran elementary school teacher, a reluctantly-retired softball junkie, a former high school coach (softball, basketball, and volleyball), and a weekend/sparetime/summer-break artist. Raised on Motown and Santana, Ybarra is just as likely to glean inspiration from Hip Hop, Rock (all genres), or Mozart. She is mesmerized by TV, fascinated by movies, fanatical about books, and enchanted with theatre.
For the most part, Ybarra’s work deals with issues that are personally relevant such as the hypocrisy of religions, the brutal realities of inner-city education, the relentless despair of poverty, and the inequalities of gender and race. In Ybarra’s current work, there is a tendency towards mixed media and an attempt to bring dimension by cutting into and/or attaching objects to the canvas. Still, on occasion, Ybarra will return to basics; to something straightforward and traditional; to something as comfortable and familiar as the velveteen texture of charcoal on paper. https://tybarra23.wixsite.com/tinaybarra-artsite

LARK
R.R.R. Mixed Media, Collage with Found Objects on Board.
Born in the remote mountains of central Asia, LARK (Larisa Pilinsky) grew up in Ukraine and studied art in Russia. She first became known for her work with the award-winning Bunker Art Group of Armenia —“fellow rebels in abstraction” against Soviet artistic repression. Since emigrating to the United States in 1991, Lark has been recognized by respected critics and dealers. Her assemblages and, more recently, her paintings, have been featured in more than 30 solo and group shows including the Nickelodeon Animation Studios, the Avatar Art Gallery, the Swedish-American Museum of Art, and the Museums of Contemporary Art in Armenia and Russia. Lark’s work has been selected through juried competitions by the SoHo International Art Competition and the Foundation of Collage Artists of America.
24 • Art & Beyond • May/June 2019
Lark creates assemblages by recycling found objects and processing them through spiritual meditation, encouraging images to appear out of her subconscious, awakening both familiar and unfamiliar thoughts in viewers. Learning about her materials by exploring both their formal and their narrative qualities, she simultaneously reformulates them according to her deeply emotional, poetically romantic sense of beauty. Their original functions discarded, their origins long forgotten, the objects she engages and interacts with are free to play imagined roles, resonating within one another and telling countless tales.

NARINE ISAJANYAN was born in Armenian and began drawing and painting at the age of five. During her childhood she visited many museums and galleries in Armenian and St. Petersburg, as well as receiving training in music and dance. In college she continued her training in art and received a Bachelors degree in 1987 from the College of Architecture in Yerevan. She moved to Moscow to study at the Moscow Architectural Institute but found Soviet regulations on architecture too restrictive and sought more freedom to express her ideas through her art. She returned to Armenia and studied art
with Manuel Bagdasaryan and Samuel Bagdasaryan and later received a Masters degree in Fine Arts from the Yerevan University of Art and Theater. She first started exhibiting her art in 1990 in Armenia and has participated in numerous shows in Moscow, Beirut, Abu Dhabi, Croatia and Belgium. About her art, Narine says, "When I paint, I feel like I am flying and dancing; I hear music in my mind. Through my art I want to express the freedom I feel in my soul."
