Since then he has dedicated his life to experimenting with different painting styles and techniques. Inspired by both graphic design and the artistic traditions of Northern Europe, Paolo’s combined use of oil, tempera and acrylic colors blends and balances his subjects. He has had numerous exhibitions throughout Italy, France, Germany and Malta, including solo shows at the St Stephen Cultural Center in Rome and the Chateau de Flamanville in France.

Tatiana Ilina

She later earned her Master of Arts from Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry before moving to Montreal, where she has lived for 30 years. Tatiana brings life and liveliness to her canvases with bold color compositions and quick, bold strokes of paint with her palette knife. Tatiana has built an international following and collector base from her viral painting demonstration videos on Youtube to her numerous exhibitions online and throughout Canada and Russia.

Larissa’s paintings have been exhibited in the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, and are also in collections in North America, Europe and Asia. See more of Larissa’s work Here.

Sagi Gyula

In his unique geometric line drawings, Hungarian artist Sagi Gyula Experiments with form, pattern and the intersection of technology and nature. Drawing inspiration from graphics, digital mapping, and machine code, Gyula approaches his work as if he were solving a mathematical equation: he analyzes and decomposes data, then assembles the pieces into a visual construction. His works on paper with ink, pencil, pen and acrylic are reminiscent not only of scientific analysis but also of abstract, gesture-based landscapes. Gyula graduated from the University of West Hungary in 2010 and has lived in Berlin ever since. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Europe.

Jun Jun Li

Through her expressive paintings Jun Jun Li wants to both reveal life’s endless possibilities and share her own dynamic encounters with nature. Her work also reflects her cross-cultural experience, which drew her to California from China, where she was born and raised. JunJun paints in her outdoor studio deep in the forests of Sebastopol when she is not traveling or teaching. Her work is part of several public collections in the Bay Area, including commissioned paintings for UCSF’s Mission Bay Cancer Center and the 49ers Levi’s Stadium art collection.
