Luis Ardila Ararat Mountain | 2017 Acrylic on Canvas | 42 x 42 in NFS
North Carolina United States of America
Luis Ardila luisgermanardila@aol.com ardilaart.com
About My work has an expressionist-symbolist style and I use mythologies from eastern and western civilizations. Syncretism is the combination or fusion of different beliefs, philosophies, mythologies or religions, emphasizing an underlying unity that allows an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism commonly has expressions in art and culture that can join together. I use Syncretism to develop patterns that reveal how our current culture opens itself into its different art’s functions to reect our way of living, hopes and mistakes.

Honorable Mention Ryan Gianelloni Tectonic | 2020 Bronze Leaf over Dark Green Acrylic with Plaster, Wood and Concrete | 17.25 x 3 x 3 in $1,250
Louisiana United States of America
Ryan Gianelloni ryangianelloni@gmail.com ryangianelloni.com
About Ryan Gianelloni, 2010 graduate of the University of New Orleans BFA program, utilizes both natural and found objects to bring texture and depth to otherwise flat surfaces. Often, these objects are inclusive of bamboo, string, and other collected materials. He then finishes the work experimenting with metal leaf. He is currently the apprentice and assistant of George Dunbar in Slidell, LA. Gianelloni states, “Nature plays a big role in what makes my creativity flow,” he also says, “It’s difficult to put a label on my work. I feel it is continually evolving and I am constantly pulling from all disciplines.” Most recently, Gianelloni’s work was part of the annual Artfields Competition in Lake City, SC.
Curator Review Tectonic Although this surreal sculpture stays true to the discourse of its construction, its wisped grooves and naturalistically hewn edges, speaks of the sedimentary and organic. In this engaging work artist Ryan Gianelloni has created a curious exchange of contrasts between his materials. This bold and monolithic piece with its dynamic composition and deliberate silhouette, most certainly draws the mind towards the earth. - E.E. Jacks

1st Place Bryan Jennings Reunion | 2020 Oil on Board | 6 x 8 in $350
California United States of America
Bryan Jennings bryan4art@gmail.com bryan4art.com
About I am a abstract landscape painter. My practice is capturing the light and shadow that disfigures the landscape. I relate the horizon and mood to human emotions. I want people to feel before they think when looking at my work.
Curator Review Reunion This expansive work with its deep, vague, and distant horizon, absolutely mesmerizes. Jennings’ masterful tonal work is suffused with atmosphere, emotion and perhaps that singular pang of longing and expectation. From the golden light gleaming through the loosely painted land, to the bleary, reective sky in pinks and luminescent blues, this poetic painting truly rises above. - E.E. Jacks

Through my art practice, I explore the aesthetic of ‘planetary dysphoria’ (Emily Apter), observe and critic the nowadays notion of the human as a subject being ‘more than mere nature and more than mere machine’.

Minnesota United States of America
Claire Miller claireanissamiller@gmail.com clairemillerfineart.com
About I am a representational oil painter and my work is about what I find interesting or beautiful. I primarily paint from life. I paint en Plein air, still life’s, figures, and portraits. I am always trying to understand why objects, places, and people, are beautiful, and to paint that. I pursue naturalism because it’s an artistic translation of the natural world. Painting can often times put me in a meditative state, and while in the studio or out in nature, I reect on how peaceful some moments can be and I believe that it shows in my work.

Connecticut United States of America
Mallorie Ostrowitz info@mallorieostrowitz.net ostrowitzphotography.com
About Artist Statement: Throughout my career as an artist, my medium has changed; from painting and sculpture to years as a graphic designer, and now, photography, but my focus has always been on design. For me, photography is not a literal translation of our world, but rather, a means of interpretation. I use the camera as a vehicle to “paint” the design, rather than to make a realistic interpretation. This series of images is about the abstraction of the natural landscape, focusing on finding patterns, texture and color relationships in the reflections and presenting them as design compositions. Reflection images fit in particularly well in my pursuit of abstraction because rather than capturing the literal object, in this case, trees, I am capturing the design cast by the trees. Although the trees are always the same, the design they create on the water surface always changes.

About Kit Porter (b. 1983) is a mixed media artist living and working in Beaufort, South Carolina. Porter received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of the South in 2005. She has a deep-seated interest in the coastal environment, and more specifically in the way objects left by the sea are broken down over time. Through a personally-developed abstract language, her work explores the concept of diminution, and presents collections of fragments as a metaphor for the fragility of the physical world.

About Most biographies include where one has studied, what shows they have participated in, special recognitions, and accolades. My own biography has been full of the above-mentioned references; however, there comes a time in one’s life when all this seems not so important when one considers where one is right now. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why they call it the present.” For certainly all my past experiences as an artist, partner, mother, and grandmother has made me the artist I have become.

Aina Putnina Snow Field | 2015 Mixed Media on Canvas | 60 x 80 cm POR
Lecava Town Latvia
Aina Putnina ainaputnina75@gmail.com facebook.com/aina.putnina
About In 1985 – 1992 I studied in the Latvian Academy of Arts, Art Pedagogy department. In 2007 – 2011 I studied in Baltic International Academy and got Master’s degree of art in computer design. Since 1993 I’m working in the Bauska Art School, teaching painting and computer design. Along with pedagogical activity I participate in the exhibitions, plain airs and other art projects. In my works I try to combine traditional painting with technology applications, expressive use of color and tonal contrasts often. My works are characterized by an emotionally expressive mood. Those are subjective stories with using of color and thus I am trying to understand the world around me and myself.
Curator Review Snow Field Curious and fascinating in origin, this unique and interpretive tonal landscape, leads the viewer into contemplation. Putnina’s tranquil and almost mystical painting, hovers between the descriptive representational and the unbound abstract. Her spare yet revealing evocation of the introspective-self in this external place, is wondrously singular in expression. She has sincerely captured the delicate, atmospheric essence of a ‘Snow Field’. - E.E. Jacks

Florida United States of America
Diane V. Radel dianevradel@gmail.com dianevradelart.com
About It is no small miracle that enrolling in art classes at 60 changed my life. However, it took a primordial experience on Melbourne Beach in 2017 to deepen my sense of interconnectedness with the universe. I had an epiphany while witnessing a mama sea turtle return to her birthplace to nest, and then finding her tracks in the sand. In those moments I felt the most profound connection to this mama turtle and every living thing throughout time. The miracle of creating life, and the energy that cascades from nature, has left me deeply and profoundly moved. While I take the subject of my artwork seriously, I paint in an abstract manner using “uplifting� colors, giving these tracks vitality and positivity. There is symbolic, as well as actual, beauty in the topographical nature of same. A combination of art and design that brings to mind a sense of familiarity.

Judith Rothenstein-Putzer artworksbyjudith@aol.com artworksbyjudith.com
About Got Alcohol? What do Alcohol, Printmaking and Photography have in common? How do they translate into a unique art form? For the past eleven years, Scottsdale artist Judith Rothenstein-Putzer has been putting a new spin on her love of photography by creating Alcohol Transfers with Pen and Ink. The mixed media technique she uses is a hybrid between printmaking and photography. The process involves printing an original photograph onto a transparency which is then transferred on to printmaking paper soaked in an alcoholbased solution. Depending upon the concentration of alcohol and the type of printmaking paper, the results vary from the softness of watercolor to the boldness of acrylics. When the transfer is completed, Rothenstein-Putzer enhances the negative space with pen and ink, making the image more vibrant and alive.

Shoshanah Siegel shoshanah.siegel@gmail.com instagram.com/shoshanahsiegel
About I have always had a need to create–it is who I am. I am very visual and didn’t know until later in life that I had the gift of being able to see in my mind’s eye something complete and done. I love detail and I am always observing. For me, creating is meditative and spiritual. I have continued the creative process as owner of a graphic design firm, and for the past 18 years the owner of an interior design firm with a specialty in color. While I love the stark contrast of black and white, color is what attracts me. In fact, the name of my interior design firm is Your Color Diva. I enjoy inspiring others by teaching art, public speaking and writing. My approach to creating art was aptly described by the name of my recent newspaper column, “In Living Color”. My inspiration springs from travels, nature and life. I love travel, and the art and culture of diverse places have inspired and influenced me.

Illinois United States of America
Anastasia Sitnikova asitnikova@gmail.com anastasiasitnikova.com
About Anastasia Sitnikova (born Russia/USSR) is an artist currently living in Chicago, Illinois. Her art is much driven by the curiosity about human nature and social relations as a representation of inner self and outer world, subconscious and conscious, correspondingly. These aspects of human existence often stay in tension, and tension is a form of energy. Even if it’s rested, it still has potential of creation or destruction. When something is in tension, it’s always an open-ended situation that includes many possible scenarios, interpretations and outcomes. Anastasia uses found objects as a source of inspiration. She purposely takes them (almost) out the original context and explores possible alternatives. Stripping off the initial meaning, she attempts to look at the familiar things in a new light.

Ira Stein Divided We Stand | 2014 Mixed Media Collage on Wood | 24 x 49 in POR

Ira Stein ira@irastein.com irastein.com
About I believe in genetic essentialism – that certain human conditions are connected to a particular gene (or set of genes). This is not a politically correct standpoint, but I ask you, can you think of something that can happen without your genes? You see, my art tells the stories of the relationships between me and my models. Before one brushstroke is put to canvas, I need to know absolutely everything about her. My artistic process requires time and a commitment to paint the unmediated truth discovered during this close relationship. It is an agonizing process but I am compelled to continue asking difficult questions. Over the past years, I have painted the most unique women to me based on our chemistry and their story. I believe that their behaviors are genetically determined and not a result of experience or societal inuences.

About Born in London, England, Stephanie Sydney moved to Malibu with her family as a teenager. She currently lives in Venice, California. While Stephanie was a painter from a very young age, because of her time constraints as a busy graphic designer, she picked up a camera that she could carry everywhere to capture what resonated around her. She started exploring painting with a camera, first double and triple exposures in the camera, then mixed media pieces with photos and found elements and paint. She transitioned to the digital and found new tools to create her visions. With digital technology came new explorations of the transformative potential of imagery. Stephanie studied art and photography at Santa Monica College and UCLA. She has taken dozens of classes at UCLA extension in photography and art theory and practice. She is currently working in her studio in Santa Monica.

About I am an architect, artist, photographer, wife and mother. The reality that surrounds me, I cannot ignore. My Brazilian roots and culture, I cannot deny. My naive hopeful heart, I cannot avoid. The struggles inside me, I cannot silence them. The path taken, stories heard, sadness seen, I cannot be insensitive to. After ten years pursuing a career in Architecture, an unexpected shift immersed me in the art field. There I identified an opportunity to express my ambiguous and still under construction perception of the world. Architecture brought the knowledge that inuences all that I create. My perception of the urban and built environment, the ways humanity appropriates and inhabits space, the essence of materials, its attributes and qualities, the relational system of formality and how form is identified and perceived by human senses; these were aspects of an architectural background that I naturally bring into my artwork.

New York United States of America
Dawei Wang david.wang.1984@live.cn www.daweiwangart.com
About Living in cities, Wang observes moments when people are immersing in specific states: sitting still, being absent-minded, or being extremely relaxed and forgetting themselves. These scenes bring him sense of both intimacy and alienation. Strangers fusing into urban environment are familiar for Wang who was brought up in cities, while his imagination upon their intentions is opened due to the alienation derived from his identity as a foreigner. With the water-based pigments which are controllable and contingent, Wang balanced the attributes of different pigments to exhibit the conflict and integration of reality and imagination. As the artist said, “My creative process is to capture and play over those real and mellow moments and reproduce my impression through paintings”.
Curator Review Island Artist Dawei Wang’s wonderfully expressive work, speaks with an illustrative narrative. His subjects sit, recline, laugh, tumble, play instruments and read with fluidity. Wang’s perspective of these various social dynamics, fades into the distance whilst creating a visual open space that is also filled. There is much to be admired in his dedicated vision of immersion, balance and spatial equity. - E.E. Jacks
