NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” – Aristotle “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent Van Gogh With great pride and even greater sense of duty and responsibility we would like to present the first volume of the Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook 2015. Our mission is to connect and build a bridge between artists and art lovers by providing and presenting a high quality source of visual art and design through our book, website, magazine and other publications. We are dedicated to bringing happiness and recognition to the artists and joy, beauty and satisfaction to the art lovers let them be collectors, buyers, galleries, curators or others taking pleasure in art and design. This idea was embraced by 120 artists from 22 countries all over the world and this is why we believe that Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook has so much to offer both to the Artist and to the Readers.

Beth Scher
www.bethscher.com Beth Scher’s work is deeply rooted in themes of femininity, feminism and the roles of women in the military theater. In travels to Israel, she became sympathetic to the plight of women conscripted into military service. These are young women in the prime of life, aware of and seeking to display their sexuality and vulnerability, yet are also in a position of power. She is concerned about what it means for modern society when women are trained to wage war. Ms. Scher graduated with an MFA from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, in December 2013. She earned her BA in Studio Art from the University at Albany, Albany, NY in 2008.

David Cutting
www.davidcutting.co.uk
After running a successful design company for several decades, in recent years David Cutting has returned to his early passion for oil painting. Much of his semi-abstract work is inspired by nature, which is a starting point, a trigger, to explore where his imagination takes him. Another strand of his work is more surreal, often reflecting an unsettling perspective on life, questioning the path of the political establishment. Whilst the subjects of his paintings are very diverse their commonality is the strength of the images and their vibrancy. His work has sold as far afield as Israel and Switzerland.

He is a humble person, he has been painting for most of his life and he rarely call himself artist, as he always looks up to the real artists who once lived in Chinese history. What he doing best is called “GongBiHua“ in Chinese, which requires a unique skill and procedure to create. The thing he loves to draw is always the nature: Birds, followers, fishes and even insects. He will do his best to depict them in every detail. His favourite subject is Koi, he thinks Koi always repret you with a se of vigour and the water which stands for life itself.

Cecilia Flaten
www.flaten.cl Patagonia Sunset oil on canvas 120x90 cm 2009
Magic Landscapes inspired in the Norwegian Mythology and in Patagonia´s Lands. In the search of a more tangible art, Cecilia Flaten regards painting as her current great love. At the beginning of her relationship with the medium, Flaten worked in an innocent and playful way which is demonstrated in her naïve works. In such works she experiments with techniques and colours that allude directly to her Scandinavian ancestors. Entering into a more mature stage, Flaten began working with oil till know, during 20 years, a medium that provides her with the stability and desired pattern of expression – allowing her to repret properly the legends, myths and the dreams that nest in her mind and in her blood. Her work is a great meditation on natural elements. Blending the fluidic atmosphere of the sky with the blended appearance of the horizon: she captures the interaction of light and the absorption inside landscapes. It is a magical and poetic work.

Albert CARRIER ROCA
However warm and poetic, Carrier Roca’s artwork was created using original technical processes and materials, mostly for the building industry of today, which he reinterpreted for his artistic expression. This unique approach prompts us to place this mixed media artist among the most original creators of the early 21st century. Although movement is one of the major concerns of Carrier Roca, it should be noted that his characters dance in a space without gravity or vanishing point; but this space is nevertheless not without depth.

Far Away oil on canvas 102x76 cm 2010 Daniel McKinley’s paintings are samples of what defines him. “My paintings help understand who I am. We tend to show the world, in our personal lives, a sort of mainstream version of ourselves. Never wishing to expose too much. Through my paintings, the true person is revealed. A person that even I did not know existed. Beyond the fact that I am Daniel McKinley.” Daniel was born and raised in the USA. Currently living and working in New York City.

Sensation of Love pastel, charcoal and ink 22x28 inches 2014
Gift of Love pastel, charcoal and ink 22x28 inches 2014
Indrranil (GOPAL) is a renowned contemporary artist in USA. He believes his art is a poetry which he writes with his brush. Gopal’s work is notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold colour. He believes in happiness and evokes a feeling of love, tranquillity and bliss. To him the world today is full of violence and aberrations so through his art he tries to reach out to the higher intelligence and have his viewers interpret his paintings through their eyes always trying to find an inner meaning to the very existence of life and ethereal love.

My work consists of three major projects developed throughout my career: ‘El Porquéde Valparaíso’ (‘Why Valparaíso?’), ‘La Huella del Tiempo’ (‘The Footprint of Time’), and ‘Del Salitre a Iquique’ (‘From Saltpeter to Iquique.’). Experiencing in situ the geographical and ethnographic spaces is vital to connect emotionally and intellectually with my painting. I have traversed the Atacama Desert, Valparaíso, and the southernmost region of Chile to later recreate and interpret them in the solitude of my studio. ‘Entre Marruecos y la India’ (‘Between Morocco and India’), my fourth project on which I am currently working, aims mainly to explore opposite cultures that join together for a common purpose.

Roland Stieger, 46 years old, lives and works in the town of Bischofszell in eastern Switzerland, where his pictures of the inner harmony are created. For his abstract works Stieger makes a journey into the “inner self” and utilizes a variety of materials from gold powder to cleaning rags. His impulses are expressed through intensive colours. The colour combination alone can become a motif for the “journey” and this “journey” should last very long, for Stieger consistently strives to reach new horizons. Several domestic and international prices awarded to Stieger reflect his growing prominence as an artist.

Barbara Monterrosa discovered 10 years ago that she had a gift to paint. She describes the feeling of wanting to paint for the first time, as a burning desire within her. All she had around the house to paint was a small stone bowl. With a few dollars she bought 4 colours. Antique gold, turquoise, red and cream, and she began her first piece of artwork. Since, she has painted murals on walls, ceiling tiles for doctors’ offices, stage craft, and numerous canvases. Her artwork varies from abstract, to landscaping, to still- art and more. Her style is expressionism and impressionism.

Jackie is obsessed with watercolour which can capture the charm of water in kinds of forms, fog, snow, cloud‌ She learned drawing from professional artists in her childhood, but touched painting a bit later by herself. She learned miniature painting from a miniaturist when she was home taking care of her first daughter. Costal Water was her first miniature painting without any prior experience. She created her main watercolour works on her second maternity leave, and Fraser River was one of them. She was not willing to take reference photos for her painting at first but ended up with many gorgeous landscape photos.

Francesco Sandrelli is a self-taught artist from Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany. He had art exhibitions in France, Canada, UK and the United States. Although he had a keen interest in drawing since early childhood, he began to paint in the eighties, attending a private school in Florence. After four years spent in school, he felt exhausted and went to hospital for art therapy in painting. From 1994, he paints again. His works during this period reflect a ‘grande’ love for his family. For a while he paints large canvases, especially in remembrance of childhood memories, sensations and dreams: his virtual storytelling mixes fairy tales with inner visions, combining imperfection with sharpness and abstraction with figurative. Sometimes feeling everything farce around, Francesco is striving to find sense in turmoil through painting.

The digital camera and computer enabled her to utilize her photographs as sources for her paintings, enabling her to plan her works using these devices. Extensive world travels have been the sources for many paintings which primarily concern feminist themes, hence a figure of a woman is always a significant focal point.

He discarded “idea” from his palette and found his art growing into a space of shapes, surface, light and colour. Subtracting content from his work, he was left with the elements. A set of art from that era includes very simple sculptures and paintings that echo as postmodern reminders, while moving it a next step, celebrating art as object in its own right.

Benincasa explores a lost, 20th century tribe who shaped their locale through sweat + labour in iconic industrial sites. Cities that formed around these mammoth worksites now struggle to repurpose themselves. If memories reconstruct our past, then examining these demolished sites provides a rich reflective lens. Whether the land itself holds memory or there is residual energy from those who were here before us – her creative expression hones in on collective memory frozen in time. Art is a timeless lens to see where future meets the past in the form of these magnificent worksites. What is absent is not forgotten.

Joyful Dance mixed media on canvas 24x30 inches 2013
My current work is a series of mixed media figurative paintings incorporating the human form into microscopic images and imaginary environments. My paintings combine classical drawing with contemporary sensibility; I am drawn as well to themes of power, freedom and dynamic movement. Is the figure on the surface or beneath it? Are these cellular patterns a revealing view of inner structures or merely a surface element? Some of my figures attempt to break through real or imagined limitations to a more realized state of being. I am inspired by the technical skill of Renaissance Masters and Surrealists like Magritte and Dali, who combined dreamlike qualities with an awareness of the environment; and the spontaneity of contemporary artists who surprise us with unusual visual metaphors. I am also enriched by the anatomical and microscopic knowledge I gained from my years as a medical illustrator. These images, patterns and colors often push their way to the surface.

Mirroring her strong connection to Nature and the Earth, these works marry quantum mysticism with realism in an accessible and decorative blend of abstract sacred geometry and organic imagery. The paintings create a vision both intriguing and stimulating, and invite the viewer to enter his or her own individual otherworldly experience.

Hello My name is Hélène DESSALLE, I am 55 and live by the French seaside. Since my youth, art and painting are essential to me. After three years studying at the «Beaux-Arts» in Bordeaux, my life completely changed and found the right balance between my family and my job, physiotherapist, always with a pencil, brushes or a sketchbook at hand. My skills have improved for the past five years: I paint my works on canvas, inspired by my job and my vision of the human body. I explore attitudes, transparency, a breast’s curve or the contour of a cheekbone, emotion springs from lights, shadows and colors’ interplay. In my work, I seek mystery, the beauty that satisfies my eye, the message carried by the body and the emotion anyone can feel at its sight. I sketch nudes from models, and, once I am home, I transpose these to canvas using acrylic, to my delight and for my friends and family pleasure.

My work expresses the simplistic things in life and modern culture and captures them in abstract form with a realistic touch of elegance. Conveying a balance of uniformity between a complex arrangement with the use of colors and shapes, combined with the boldness of recognizable emblems. Created with the application of watercolors and oils, I strive to involve the viewer with bright colors and a sense of familiarity to capture their attention and implement their mind. Ever since I was able to hold a crayon, I was always involved in art. Through the multitude of struggles in life, art has always been there and given hope. My work is meant to be inspiring and enlightening to anyone who views it.

Julian deals with the real and the abstract. Combining landscape with particular shapes, forms and colours, Julian creates psychedelic scenes that invoke thought, feeling and wonder. The permanence of a landscape is touched upon in his artwork. Julian uses these forms to add dimensions and abstract perceptions, which create a visual stimulation. As Julian searches for his own artistic and self-improvement, he strives for the relationship between beautiful forms, colour, composition and landscape, and to expose that in his paintings.

Peer Kriesel is born 1979 in Berlin. Data protection and an apparently increasing confusion within society, the conflict between traditional aesthetics, old values and ideas about what is beautiful – these are some of the topics the artist Peer Kriesel is dealing with in his work. For years the artist has concentrated on these issues and has been inspired by neglect and disappearance of real aesthetics, but also real anti-aesthetics. This is a clash Kriesel experiences in his everyday life and his work is influenced by it.

Robert Meyers-Lussier’s art is spontaneous. It represents a travelogue of plain air scenes that takes a bite out of time/space as he travels and experiences life. As an author, a journalist and photographer; micro and macro moments matter. Colour and pattern; joy and regret; nature’s beginnings and endings; all intrigue him, within the framework of time. Most importantly, seasons matter. Based on a childhood spent weathering Minnesota’s extremes, combined with an early, learned Japanese aesthetic; refinement of Meyers-Lussier’s eye continues. He is forever in search of that most beautiful image that compels him to never forget that moment in time/space. Santa Fe Adobe Window photography 5622 px 2014

Peter Bracke investigates the photographic medium in its visual and plastic aspects. Bracke searches for the distinctions between photography and other visual media and it is at those intersections where he seeks to express his vision. The textures of unusual materials lead the viewer into a tempting, exotic and dreamy world. Somehow Peter Bracke turns around the citation of the French Nouvelle-Vague director Jean-Luc Godard: “We must confront vague ideas with clear images. The artist however builds from clear ideas and vague images which he allows to remain dreamy, etheric and mystical.�

Ghosts C-Print on AluDibond 100x70 cm 2014 Tolga Sezen dares the way from photo towards painting. During his creative process the realistic image becomes abstract. The “planned” randomness plays a substantial role in his work. He was born in Istanbul 1965, as a child of a liberal, cosmopolitan artist family. In his youth, he went to Vienna, studied computer engineering and finally he became an autodidact in photography and digital photo processing. His artwork is photography-based. The first trigger of his career as an artist has been an exhibition with photorealistic works. Tolga Sezen: The moment of the transformation of a photo to a digital painting is magical – like a slightly approaching dream, searching its way from reality to an illuminated new existence.

She has sketched, studied architecture, and painted on canvas, before now finding her oeuvre as a full-time photographer and photo-manipulator. Working in her London-based studio, she creates a world of dreams, using black and white, light and shadow, to tell memorable stories in every image or project. For Alicia, art should create emotion in the artist and inspire pleasure for an audience, allowing both to explore themselves, as well as enjoy the images.

Vessels birth specimens from a far-away place. Core-samples from her imaginary worlds contain glaze clusters; the seeds of a theoretical species.

I want you to print them out a dozen times or more, frame them and hang them on your walls, to hold in your hands, to browse through the images in albums and books for decades to come.
