!"#$%&'()*+),--.-&&" “There is much beauty to behold in this world, moments that the eye captures, the wonders it sees... moments that should be committed to perpetual memory, but sadly only to become fragments of a faded recollection, or more often, simply forgotten. I draw inspiration to record these timeless and special moments, to capture them in my mind’s eye, and through my lens, transforming each image so that I can share them with others in hope they too may see what I see and find equal enjoyment..”

With this book, our hope is not only to reflect on contemporary art practices, but also to produce an art anthology, where each artwork is specifically selected for its originality, aesthetic interest, intriguing technique and display of creative proficiency. For us each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation provides a separate chapter in telling the story of contemporary creative ingenuity and how art exists, morphs and evolves within our global modern society.

Our book functions as a resource for art professionals, promoting work that ought to be collected and exhibited and as inspiration for the art lover who is keen on discovering and viewing wonderful artwork. Creating this book has been for us a splendid adventure and we are thankful to the participating artists that have allowed us to create this unique platform and enable us to present to the world the beauty, importance and power of art.

Born in 1953 in Missouri, Jonathan Doner now resides in Keswick, Virginia. He is a self-taught digital artist with several solo exhibitions in the USA and group participations in Japan, England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and the United States. Dr. Doner is also a theoretical psychologist, with a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, who has been published internationally on art, religion, intelligence, cognition, and perception.

“My work combines aspects of traditional painting and sculpting along with the sensibilities of the potter and the printmaker. Two forces, however, both inherent in the digital medium, are at the true heart of the process. A divergent force derives from the medium’s plasticity. A convergent force stems from the fact that a series of images possesses an inherent trajectory determined by its form and palette. This trajectory constrains the image’s evolution, but also reveals new creative possibilities. Consequently, multiple paths of relationship emerge between the art and the observer. These represent, reveal, and sometimes obscure, the dynamic interaction of structure, symbol, and meaning in human awareness. The image intentionally directs the observer, not toward a single meaning, but toward an interactive flow, a language, of aesthetic, symbolic, and conceptual relations.”

Self-taught artist, Rajnita Jain embarked on her creative journey by re-contextualizing natural and human elements to construct an artistic narrative which is both personal and universal. Indian-born and internationally recognized, her ardor for art stems from vibrant colors and appreciation for beauty in all forms.

Jain works out of her home studio and art gallery in Southern California. Her contemporary painting lifestyle draws from experience in different areas of art to give balance and consistency. She pursued her education in imnology study of oceans , which gave her a unique perspective for creation of dignified and decorous painting styles reflecting the magical elements of nature. She challenges the notion of idealistic beauty and freedom by examining cultural and political histories through her art. Her dynamic portfolio includes works in various media such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, colored pencils and graphite pencils. For her, art is an important form of communication and she uses it to tell a story for her audience.

Rajnitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is glorified when she explores human emotions and creates art for fashion. She is passionate about the empowerment of women and raises awareness by depicting their plights and solutions through her art form. Rajnitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork has been displayed in private and corporate collections across India, Europe and the United States.

Artist Dimitra Viveli produces work made up of esoteric snapshots, where art and philosophy meet with the urge to embody spiritual heirs. In her recordings of this field, she employees a mix of visual art and poetry, which bring her philosophical and artistic vision to life. The colours and shapes assigned, have an essential, hermeneutical role, which is partly instinctive expressive and partly disciplined, serving a philosophical purpose her 17 syllable poems anchor the problematics of each work. This active exchange between art and idealistic philosophy is seen as a process of forming and re negotiating identity, internalising genuine meaning, and revealing the semiotics and hermeneutics of a reality that is equally physical and imperceptible.

Dimitra Viveli was born in Athens in 1973. She studied at the School of Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, then to obtain a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in Art and Design Design for Interactive Media from the ansdown Centre for Electronic Arts, Middlesex University of ondon.

Since 2005, she has been systematically involved in research work regarding the impact of colours and shapes in human psychology and health and their value in the process of self-discovery and identity construction.

Dimitra has worked in the areas of education, media, and business in Athens and ondon. As an artist, she has exhibited in Athens and Syros, Greece, ondon, UK, New York, USA, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2010 she founded to dodeka, a philosophy and art lab in ycabettus, Athens.

Roses In Symphony, 2009 Egg tempera on canvas 9 x 11 in. or 22 x 27 cm

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My paintings are regularly described as very soft and mild.

The color combinations I use are tastefully and delicately fused to make a motif that can be described as very soothing to the eye. I discovered several years ago that roses have a positive effect on me, almost like healing, and the combination of the smell and the sight feels like a meditation, bringing about a certain calmness, this is something I try to reflect in my paintings.â&#x20AC;?%H%0A%!A

Left: Painting 11 Daniel Libeskind Oil, canvas, metal, neon 47 x 67 in. or 120 x 170 cm “Libeskind is one of the founders of deconstruction, exposing the fragility of the world in his creations. The concrete walls and abundance of empty space is a frequent metaphor he implements to convey the idea of past and future loss. I have mixed feelings about this architect who uses concrete and metal to describe emotions that are sometimes quite raw. This painting shows part of the facade of The Frederic C. Hamilton Building at Denver Art Museum” - G. E.

Above: Painting 9 Tadao Ando Oil, canvas, metal, neon 47 x 47 in. or 120 x 120 cm “Combining European lustre with the refined simplicity of the Japanese is the trademark approach of this architect. Ando planted the seeds of Japanese architecture in European modernism. He acted as a European professional, but strived for intricacy and perfectionism like no European was able to. His creations are informed by history but refrain from overloading the viewers with it. Philosophers, writers use words to make others think. The power of a word is immense. Architecture is a word uttered by the space. A concrete wall can speak to the viewer without need for interpretation. Ando has a lot of weight in his words.” - G. E.

Painting 10 Norman Foster Oil, canvas, plaster, metal 67 x 47 in. or 170 x 120 cm “Norman Foster is one greedy architect. But he is not greedy for money. De-spite the media singling out his most large-scale creations, Foster has much more to offer. He might have built a school building - but that won’t get into the headlines. He always guarantees success and quality, a living classic who has every right to be enjoying his fame. Yet, he doesn’t work for the public, he doesn’t have feelings for the public - he has feelings for stones, concrete and steel. You can forgive a man in love for being famous. My painting is dedicated to one of the most outstanding projects by Foster, Millau Viaduct in France. At 343 metres tall, it still holds the record for the tallest cable-stayed bridge.” - G. E.

Left: Painting 5 Álvaro Siza Vieira Oil, canvas, plaster, metal, Plexiglas, neon 75 x 43 in. or 190 x 110 cm “Vieira’s creations are wonders that blow your mind with simplicity.

They are quiet in their dignity and harmony, and translate blissful calamity. The secret to this magic is Vieira’s meticulous attention to proportion, the oldest yet extremely complicated element of architecture.” - G. E.

Right: Painting 2 Arata Isozaki Oil, canvas, metal 67 x 47 in. or 170 x 120 cm “This work describes Isozaki’s own character. One of the leaders of the 1960s’ avant-garde movement, he learnt from Kenzo Tange and managed to introduce romanticism and humour into large-scale urban construction. This painting was inspired by the Palauet de Palafolls sports centre he built.” - G. E.

>#6="#@%F?5@%H%k0#DC&;6D;,#.4%D"$-;#,D;&"$-l Architecture is the language of giants, the greatest system of visual elements that was ever created by the humankind.

Just like artists, architects are not inclined to talk much, because they are aiming to create tangible objects. Each creative professional has their own tools for communicating their thoughts and feelings.

For me, the most complicated yet essential element of architecture and art is simplicity. Simple forms require perfect proportions and measurements that result in visual harmony. To achieve that in my works I experiment with texture and colours.

It’s not an easy task trying to translate words into construction elements. But being an admirer of architecture myself, I’m setting out on a mission to reimagine creations by leading architects of the world in paintings. It’s a complicated yet fascinating challenge.

Please join me on my quest powered by imagination and by the artistic tools that will bring it into reality.” - G. M. Left: Painting 6 Frank Gehry Oil, canvas, neon 47 x 59 in. or 120 x 150 cm “With their streamline forms and metal trimming, Gehry’s creations often re-semble fish. When post-modernists started insisting that buildings should reflect the his-tory of the surrounding environment, Gerhy suggested that fish existed long before humankind, making this his method for bringing motion to his works. This painting is a nod to Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao” - G. M.

“Georges Kalmetti’s work investigates the landscape and architecture; their significance and impact on human behaviour. His paintings surround the viewer with a sentiment of mystery and fascination. His work combines dream and poetry with a suggestive state of being.

Unlike some popular artists, Arso never duplicates his work. Every painting is an original.

I believe his future work will be fresh and alive gathering and dispensing energies on an intimate scale as never before.

Thereafter, as I paint the backgrounds of my works, I imagine the stories and situations which will take place in the scenario. It’s really great fun. I just love what I do.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My art started with photography and my love for travel. While traveling, I would photograph everything that I saw, focusing on the composition of the image. During the past four years in Apeldoorn, I have been introduced to a variety of artistic endeavours and found myself experimenting with abstract painting.

I would now consider myself to be purely an abstract painter.

Above: Sweet Pink, 2014 Acrylic on canvas 24 x 31 in. or 60 x 80 cm Below: Horses, 2015 Acrylic on canvas 24 x 31 in. or 60 x 80 cm

My inspiration is the people I meet, the images I see, and the emotions that I feel while travelling.

My work is the result of my desire to understand people. Full of colour, depth, and sometimes a bit mysterious, my paintings always come from the heart and show who I am and what I love in life.â&#x20AC;? - M. V.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was born on a farm on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, where my passion for drawing and painting animals began. I attended The Isle of Wight College and whilst there I experimented with different methods from ceramics, textiles and printing. I enjoy drawing and working with mixed media which enables me to add detail to the subject that I am working on, learning these skills enabled me to apply for University and gain more knowledge of printing using various techniques. In the future I want to work using different media and materials, giving my work more texture and making it more tactile.â&#x20AC;? H%+A%LA%

This included travel, and the opportunity to live in Europe, with Italy as my home base. In years to follow, with a strong affinity for Latin Culture, my travels expanded to Brazil, Spain, Portugal, and France to explore the art, music, language, and cuisine of each country. Currently, with more time at my disposal, it’s possible to return to an early passion: Painting.”

“In many of my works, the strong influence of earth tones, vivid colors, and textures, may all be apparent. One may experience a feeling of happiness, curiosity, spirituality, as well as passion.

I consider myself a non-objective, emotional artist, constantly exploring various media and color combinations, to evoke a more profound response in the viewer. If I succeed, my mission is complete.” H%BA%LA
