Bright portraits from Christina Romeo who's abstract work I featured last year. Christina's work has a sadness made more intense by the bright palette that she uses, her work is in mixed media and acrylic.
My last post on the work of Martyna Zoltaszek is the surreal underwater dream like world of her fish. However I have not shown you any of her graphics or illustration so please explore the portfolio of this artist.
Martyna Zoltaszek's paintings of big cats remind me af Fauvism in their style and colour.
Wonderful circus themed paintings by London based Polish artist/ illustrator Martyna Zoltaszek.
With a few weeks delay, here is face painting day 6 with Freya and her cousin Rowan, this is great fun and makes your children look terrifying.
Dan Badea often paints tables and food, again they are full of detail and fun observation.
"I want to create more a poetical atmosphere like in the 'Flower woman' theme, nostalgia, a return to affection.
For me, the expressivity, the vibration, the light are really important.
Also, in my painting, the detail has the same importance like the
entire; many of my compositions are made by modules and you can find
different influences of culture like Dubuffet painting or Basquiat
graffiti. " Dan Badea
Dan Badea's work has so many styles and genres, some works being very abstract, others more like graffiti with their inclusion of text, most are of domestic scenes and yet others remind me of illustration. These works are of shops and kiosks. I like their layers of observation and the detail and texture.
Canadian artist Maria Pace-Wynters, akin to Jane, has a wonderful use of vivid contrasting colours and a lovely use of line in her paintings and mixed media works.
"I love to play with colour and I am really pleased with some of my
colour experiments. My painting use to be very dark but when I had my
children that seemed to change. I guess you could say that they brought
colour into my life. I much prefer my palette now and when I look back
on older paintings have to resist the urge to go back into them with
some bold colour." Maria Pace-Wynters
I wanted to separately showcase some of Jane DesRosier's more contemporary portraits I do love her acid, contrasting pallet.
Jane DesRosier's vivid colour and patterns in the hair, clothing and background around her portraits is stunning and contrasts with her more realistic depiction of her models skin, in this her work uses the same pictorial language as Klimt. (

Anna Silivinchik's dream painting 'Midday Dream'.
Romantic, Chegal like, beautiful, sometimes funny and cheeky this is a tiny selection of work by Anna Silivonchik a young artist from Belarus.
I am late this morning, sorry sometimes the path forward is not so clear, however here we are with the work of Aaron Leighton. Aaron's work for me is like a graffiti of the mind, where he walks around the sprawl of cities and see magic.
"What makes a place special? Is it possible to discover the fantastical
hidden in the familiar? If so, what might that look like? Spirit City
is an ongoing project which address some of these questions while
hopefully raising others. Combining my interests in urban landscapes,
travel and mythology, the images suggest that the magical and the
mundane can indeed coexist in the most unlikely of places, if only we
look closely enough." Aaron Leighton
These images are all from Aaron Leighton's 'Spirit City of Toronto', the next city on Aaron's hit list is Berlin.
Graphic design by 'FriendsWithYou' Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval "FriendsWithYou is a new breed of artist, actively generating culture
beyond the traditional art boundaries and reshaping the current

FriendsWithYou (FWY) is a miami-based art collective founded in 2002 by artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III to spread Magic, Luck, and Friendship. Their art spans many many genres including installation, public art, graphics. These images are from their public art piece called 'rainbow city'.
