Meet, DATG Concept Managing Director
I
am Daibory Trujillo, a Dreamer and a Doer who found art to be a profound influence later in life. Coming from an artistic family and being the only engineer with over 10 years of sales experience, I firmly believe that having someone guiding you always makes a positive impact in our lives. It is my passion and my greatest satisfaction to be able to help others. Therefore now I dedicate my life supporting young entrepreneurs and well-established artist like you. I believe the real meaning of our lives is transformed by being able to serve. By helping others, you help yourself become a better person; this is my mantra! I’ve seen how the artist’s road to expansion can be diverted from its goal either through ignorance or abuse from others. Because of this and since I enjoy the success of the common good, I’ve combined my professional and artistic experience with my emotional being to connect and go together above and beyond. You will experience how proactively DATG Concept can help you creating a smile in the hearts of spectators and expanding your opportunities in the local and international market. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, dedicated, dynamic and passionate team to add value to your exceptional work and make a mark in our society, come to us, DATG Concept is waiting for you!

orn in Valencia state of Carabobo, Venezuela. Attended Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina for Advertising and Graphic Design.
Herrera started showing interest in illustration at the early age of 5, quickly developing a passion for cars and their fundamental design; spent the early years of his illustrating quest mostly drawing automobiles and portraiture, which gave Herrera a wide range to understand line work and contour. After college, Herrera spent the following 7 years mostly touring the U.S. as a musician, which took a lot of time and discipline, and it was during this period, that, while still doing a lot of freelance design work for other artists (such as album art and show posters) he started to develop what would become his current style of portraiture with ballpoint pens on recycled materials. Herrera describes his work as human and far from perfect, and proclaims that the lack of perfection and ruggedness of materials used is a statement, and that handmade art in a world of technology and computers shouldn’t be perfect because that perfection becomes dull and boring; line work should have the feel and personality of its creator within it.

orn on April 6, 1980 in Tovar in the state of Mérida, Venezuela. Since he was a child, he began to walk through the world of the arts. With the tutoring of his teacher in plastic arts Teresa Contreras, at eight years old Alfredo starts to sharpen his pencils and understands the value of them. For the next three years he stays under Teresa’s teaching until he is introduced to acrylics and oil paintings, which at that time were a challenge for him. At the end of the century he begins with a more formal work and participates in his first collective exhibit with other Tovareños artists. At the same time he starts his visual art studies at the School of Arts at the University of the Andes. Seeking more knowledge, Alfredo travels to Spain to the Complutense University of Madrid where he stays for the summer and fall of 2008, where he strengthens his creative and academic essence. In 1998 he starts his Solo exhibitions in towns near Tovar, then in Caracas and other foreign capitals like New York as well as 45 collective exhibitions throughout Venezuela, Central America, North America and Europe. Alfredo went step by step towards the evolution of his current visual work to obtain the concept he was looking for: color, geometry, free forms and even pop, respecting the support and awareness the acrylic colors pour in his canvas and volumes, looking for abstraction from the twodimensional to the three-dimensional. That is how the simplicity of his work is so impressive because the aesthetic that stands out, representing the strict and thus demonstrating a work that we could call Abstract Salazar.
Alfredo MartĂn Morales
I
t is in the Workshop of the well-known artist Elbano Méndez Osuna, where Martin Morales worked for 30 years. There he formed and forged his sensitivity and his artistic craft. Martin Morales in 1971 travels to Merida to study at the Experimental Center of Art of the ULA, graduating in 1974. In 1975, he took over the department chair of design, color, drawing and serigraphy, at the CEA-ULA Workshop. With the presence of Martin Morales begins a new stage in the Plastic Arts of Tovar. With all the accumulated experience, Martin returns to Tovar and among the students and teachers in the eighties the space of new groups is formed which adds new proposals, already recognized as a cultural movement of importance that allows the projection and confrontation of their works nationally and internationally. Martin presents the infinite manifestation of the natural landscape greatness. Morales’ landscapes are not those of substance that has mass and takes up space, but those of dynamic forces set in motion: loss of the silhouettes of the mountains by the chromaticvibratory effect; resplendent light effects, the impression of forms submerged in the atmosphere, the mist or haze. Martín Morales international trajectory is well known thanks to his exhibitions in galleries and museums such as: Fundación Caja Madrid, Ciudad Real, Spain; ARGO GRAPHIC GALERIE, Vienna, Austria; L’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers, Paris, France; LEO BLASINI Gallery, Caracas, Venezuela; CRéDIT LYONNAIS Paris, France; Embassy of Venezuela, Paris, France; Chromatic scope, BASS Gallery, Caracas, Venezuela; Venezuelan Center for Culture, Bogotá, Colombia; Lozano-Lozada Gallery, Valencia, Venezuela; Center of Fine Arts, Maracaibo, Venezuela; Gallery The Other Band of the ULA, Merida, Venezuela.

Phil Shapiro
A
merican painter Phil Shapiro, more commonly known as Philson, has a unique eye for color and a passion for life. Seeing the world both through the eyes of a child and a maturing adult are distinctive traits of this engaging artist. His free-flowing energy of moods and feelings, both driven by Phil’s exuberant energy and lust for life, are evident throughout his art. His vivid color pallet and remarkable techniques of applying paint form part of a variety of different works. Phil’s passion for painting and constantly striving to improve is what pushes him to make every piece as perfect as possible. His large abstract works show maturity beyond his years – visually tantalizing the viewer with dramatic, vibrant, organic shapes calling to us in a language of their own. His canvas scenes pop out with such intensity, effectively blending a variety of patterns and textures that magically soothe the soul, making us long to see more. Phil is emotionally in tune with his senses which allows for a capacity for serious and sustained works following inventive traditions of great masters. Phil is not one to stick with one particular style and incorporates everything he learns into his pieces. His diversity as an artist is rare. The connection between his abstract and figurative pieces is simply unique. He now continues his work in Miami, Florida doing what he was born to do – create imaginative and enduring works of art. Phil has participated in many exhibitions throughout Florida and now New York.
Arlene Valarino

A
merican Artist, born in Florida. Arlene spent many years living very close to the jungle of Henri Pittier National Park in Venezuela, surrounded by its nature, an environment that marked her life growing her passion for painting. All through her graphic design career in the DDI, Institute of Design Newman Foundation, Arlene found a way of expression by the hand of great International and local Artists, masters like Alirio Palacios, Luisa Richter, among many others. Arlene’s objective is the call of the viewer to raise awareness of his connection with nature. By making visible the invisible, an invitation to encounter with the conscience that is behind the endless energy that resides in us and nature. The return to the origin of everything, to identify itself. Arlene’s art and passion for nature have traveled across the world, from exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas, Venezuela to USA and Italy.
