Vie Dunn-Harr, 1953

Dunn-Harr found her artistic expression slowly, yet deliberately, and continues to explore the many possibilities in the arts. She studied in Florence, Italy at the Lorenzo de Medici Instituto de Arte and at the Toblach-Dobbiaco Academia Italia. She derived much of her early experience from the traditional school and continues to embrace formalism. Her works are organic forms rooted in architectural elements. The forms are sensuous and portray the force and fragility of nature. Dunn-Harr considers herself a contemporary realist and has exhibited in the USA, Europe and Mexico.

Kwon Kyung-yup, 1975 | Fantastic Realism painter

권경엽 - Kwon Kyung-yup - a graduate of Sejong University in Korea, begins her process by taking photographs first; this captures all the details and expressions.

She then makes a draft of the photo and paints in on canvas with oil.

Although it seems unorthodox, this technique was employed in the beginning stages of photography.

Before photography was possible to print, they were used as a research tool in developing wood engraved illustrations.

Albert Reuss 1889-1976

Albert Reuss was born in Budapest in 1889 into a Jewish family called Reiss. His father was a butcher and expected his sons to follow that trade. At the age of eighteen, in spite of strong opposition, Albert left home and moved to Vienna intending to begin a career as an artist. He was self-taught. He said that he had the best teachers, the great master painters of all time, for he began to earn a modest living by making salable copies of many world-famous paintings in the Viennese art galleries and museums. Just as he was beginning to make his way in the art world with his own individual work, there came the Nazi annexation of Austria. Albert changed his name to Reuss, but due to the dangerous political situation he and his wife, Rosa, were compelled to leave the country along with many other Jewish refugees and were offered asylum in Britain.

Pedro Sanz González

Talented artist from Madrid, Pedro Sanz González, stands out for the contemporary figurative and the realistic picture.

He has participated and exhibited in major galleries in Europe including his native Spain and the Netherlands.

He studied Aeronautical Engineering but he developed his passion and skill for more than 20 years, inspired by the great masters of painting.

The subject in which he shows the most interest is the Human Figure, portraits, figurs, symbolic painting.

The influence of the old masters using new techniques and new concepts, the mystery of a look, the beauty of the human body, figures that suggest and evoke they provoke and make you think.

Pedro gives us the example of how we can have a great passion and share it with everyone, giving us his point of view of reality through his art.

Ciro Palumbo, 1965 | Surrealist / Symbolist painter

Ciro Palumbo was born in Zurich, currently resides and works in Torino.

His artistic career was originally influenced by the poetics of the Metaphysical school of Giorgio de Chirico and Alberto Savinio, reinventing however those foundations with a personal and completely original interpretation.

In his research, he proceeded through moments of contemplation and metaphyisical silences, contrasted by nocturnal and intimately wrought expressivity, where one can feel the clean break from the silent immobility which resides in the works of the Pictor Optimus.

His art represents therefore stages on which objects are carriers of oniric symbolism.
