José Luis Ceña, 1982 | Abstract figurative painter

Spanish painter José Luis Ceña was born in Malaga in 1982.

At the age of 15 he moved to Madrid, where he graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in the specialty of Plastic Arts in 2005.

In 2001 he received a scholarship from the Royal Casa de la Moneda for the expansion of its studies in the disciplines of Engraving and Graphic Design.

Training in these fields allowed him to investigate about resources and tools that, although alien to traditional painting, are incorporated into his creative process, giving him work a special plasticity.

Scott Conary, 1971

Raised where the East Coast suburbs filtered into the woods and farms, Scott Conary (Rhode Island School of Design, BFA ’93) creates oil paintings of everyday objects and places with which we have complicated and often ambiguous relationships.

Pulled from their context, these objects say something about how we interact with the world and one another.

Giovanni Muzzioli | Macchiaioli painter

Giovanni Muzzioli (1854-1894) was an Italian painter.

Muzzioli was born in Modena, after his family had moved from Castelvetro.

At the age of 15 years, he began to attend the local Academy of Fine Arts of Modena, working under Antonio Simonazzi and Asioli.

At the age of seventeen (1871), years later, he gained the Poletti scholarship entitling him to four years residence in Rome studying at the Accademia di San Luca, working first under professor Podesti, and later after 1874 under professor Coghetti.

Noemi Martín, 1975

Noemi Martin was born in Barcelona.

She has shown a great love for painting since her early childhood.

At the age of sixteen, she entered the Massana School in Barcelona where she studied painting.

Noemi Martín’s work revels in imaginary spaces in which perspective is the only form of architecture, and in which her unmistakable ochres, greys and yellows bathe every detail, creating a world which, although imaginary, reflects an infinite number of realities and the most intimate of our sentiments, like a mirror.
