Espressionismo figurativo di Fidel Garcia, 1960

Fidel Garcia ~ Mexican Figurative and Abstract Expressionist painter

""L'arte esprime l'anima dell'umanità nel nostro comune viaggio attraverso i secoli". - Fidel Garcia

Nato a Città del Messico, Fidel Garcia è un pittore e creatore autodidatta.
All'età di sette anni, l'abilità artistica di Garcia divenne evidente a suo padre, un artista lui stesso, che incoraggiò e sostenne la sua passione per la creatività.
Ha sviluppato uno stile dimensionale internazionale unico che è fantasiosamente intriso del potere visivo di artisti rinascimentali come il maestro barocco spagnolo Diego Velazquez, il maestro americano John Singer Sargent, il maestro francese William Bouguereau, il maestro surreale spagnolo Salvador Dali ed il maestro di design austriaco Gustav Klimt.

Andrea credits her talent as a gift from God, and desires to use her art to bring glory to Him. Her desire is that her paintings will connect to the hearts of those who view them, drawing others to a fuller recognition of the goodness of God and the wonder of His love.

Paul Gauguin: "Innanzi tutto, l'emozione!"

Nel nuovo stile di Paul Gauguin, il cloisonnisme o sintetismo, il colore si chiude in zone, così che la scena si presenta in superficie e si annulla ogni rapporto tra spazio e volumi.
A proposito dell'uso delle ombre, nel 1888, Gauguin scriveva a Émile Bernard:
- «Guardate i giapponesi, che pure dipingono in modo ammirevole e vedrete una vita all'aria aperta e al sole, senza ombre.
Usano i colori solo come combinazione di toni, di armonie diverse [...] voglio staccarmi quanto più è possibile da qualsiasi cosa che dia l'illusione di un oggetto, e poiché le ombre sono il trompe-l'oeil del sole, sono propenso ad eliminarle".

Aldo Balding, 1960 ~ Figurative painter

The narrative quality of Aldo Balding's magnificent paintings is usually what initially draws his viewers in. Aldo's works have been referred to as "nostalgic", but he considers them timeless. Aldo's conveys his love of the more formal time and finds a suited man is much more interesting, narratively speaking, than someone in sneakers and jeans. He continues the timeless feel of his work into his interior scenes and landscapes.
