Anna Wypych, 1986 | Figurative Symbolist painter

"I take Inspiration from what I see around me, but my personal thoughts are only the starting point and inspiration for the research on the man and his condition".

Anna Wypych’s works of art transcend the commonplace, to enter the realm of the otherworldly.

The starting point of her work and also the main theme, is always a man, but Anna Wypych goes beyond physicality, as if she wants more to capture the spirit, than the body.

She develops images that evoke moods, dreams, and feelings inspired by real life, and which create a remarkably compelling narrative.

The physical nudity and sincerity of her characters has emerged as a hallmark of her work.

Marc Dalessio, 1972 | Pittore naturalista

Marc Dalessio è un pittore naturalista di formazione classica che in giovane età si è affermato come uno dei più importanti pittori plein-air che lavorano oggi.

La pittura calda ed attenta di Dalessio indaga la realtà delle cose, della natura che lo circonda, attraverso punti di vista a volte inusuali.

E’un artista saldamente radicato alla tradizione pittorica del XIX sec.

Dalessio nasce in California ed a soli vent’anni, appena conclusi gli studi in Arte e Biologia, si trasferisce a Firenze, al fine di perfezionare le tecniche pittoriche classiche.

Essam Marouf, 1958 | Abstract Minimalist painter

• "… I see my art as more universal. It’s mixed from Egypt, Italy, Holland and the world. It is not a cultural statement, it is a human story…"


• "With minimalism in form and colour I try to give my paintings the inner power and spiritual energy. The two factors that give - in my eyes- paintings their inconceivable power" - Essam Marouf.

Essam Marouf was born in Cairo in 1958, studied painting from 1976 at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University in Cairo and graduated in 1981 at the Mural Painting Section.
From 1982 until 1985 Essam Marouf studied at Accademia di Belle Arti in Roma.
