Raffaello Sanzio | Drawings

Over forty sketches survive for the Disputa in the Stanze, and there may well have been many more originally; over four hundred sheets survive altogether.

He used different drawings to refine his poses and compositions, apparently to a greater extent than most other painters, to judge by the number of variants that survive: "...This is how Raphael himself, who was so rich in inventiveness, used to work, always coming up with four or six ways to show a narrative, each one different from the rest, and all of them full of grace and well done" wrote another writer after his death.

Olivia Beaumont | The Baroque Beasts paintings

I am a full-time artist and reside in a very small town near Savannah, Georgia, though I call California home. Painted portraiture is a long-time study and passion of mine. The Baroque Beast series serves my desire to make portraits using beastly attributes that the viewer can sympathize with on a level of human emotion. I believe society already identifies certain animals as noble, others as witty, still others as fierce. Because portraiture is semi-permanent, I believe this dignifies those characteristics, be they noble or barbaric.

Steven DaLuz, 1953 | Abstract painter

Steven DaLuz, American painter*, is a versatile artist with an eclectic sensibility. His interests are split between abstraction and figurative art.
He is best known for figurative works that straddle impressionism and realism. He may be equally identified with abstract works that are landscape referential-employing metal leaf, oil, and mixed media.

Sophie Wilkins, 1976 | Magic Realism painter

"Drawing and painting have been part of my life since my tender childhood.

A passion that became essential to me along the way. Murals and paintings are my main focus but I also explore the fields of decor, artistic make-up and illustration.

Through my art, I try to represent the energy of love that should flow in a society that sometimes leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

A revealing aspect of life which I explore through details that, once too often slip through our hands".
