Jake Baddeley, 1964 | Magic Realism painter

Baddeley combines a masterful technique with provocative imagery in which he invites the viewer into a strange and magical world of his own.

Artist Statement: "All is proportion. I am sitting, a cup of tea, some good music, a brush in hand and i am gone.

There is nothing better: I forget where I am, who I am, and all sense of time.

As Picasso once said: "I leave my body outside the studio." Or something like that...

I am working on a picture of a lady on a mechanical horse.

His unique style continues to evolve; recent paintings feature bolder colours and scenes from his native Okanagan, in addition to his preferred subjects, the mountains and forests of Western Canada.
Today, his work is featured in private and major corporate collections throughout North America, and his following extends as far as Japan.

Oscar Wilde / Bruno Di Maio

"La Bellezza è una forma del Genio, anzi, è più alta del Genio perché non necessita di spiegazioni.

Essa è uno dei grandi fatti del mondo, come la luce solare, la primavera, il riflesso nell'acqua scura di quella conchiglia d'argento che chiamiamo luna. Non può essere interrogata: regna per diritto divino".

Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.

Oscar Wilde

Victor Crisostomo Gomez

Peruvian painter Victor Crisostomo Gomez is a contemporary artist from Lima, Peru, and features the people and cultures of his native country in his vibrant and captivating portraits. These compelling images blend tradition with a contemporary edge. The dichotomy of past and present would normally be difficult and prohibitively complex, however, Victor, a Native American of Inca Qechua heritage, effortlessly bridges the two extremes while traveling the jungles of South America for his research and inspiration.
