Andrea Bucci, 1966 | Figurative /Abstract sculptor

Andrea Bucci was born in Viareggio, Tuscany, on the Italian seacoast, where he lives and works.

Son of an artist, but self-taught in his medium of terra cotta, he laid aside a career in architecture to place himself under the critical public eye and affront the road of an artist.

He has the spontaneity of youth but also the determination of one who has objectives and wants to pursue them.

His ceramic and bronze figures have poetic simplicity: where, however, everything has a sense.

Certain accentuations and deformations finish his pieces with a normal appearance, as if the reality is that represented by the sculptor, and not vice versa.

Joseph Zbukvic, 1952 | Plein-air Watercolor painter

Joseph Zbukvic was born in Zagreb, today’s Croatian capital.

From childhood he was fond of art, but his parents thought it wasn’t an important talent, so Joseph was sent to a Pedagogical University, where he studied languages.

The political instability in Yugoslavia forced the Zbukvic family to leave their home and move to Australia.

Of course the education had to be abandoned.

A few years later the name of Joseph Zbukvic became famous, despite his parents wish to bury the talent of their son.
