Andrey Razumovsky | Fashion photographer

Artists often find inspiration for their creations in the most unlikely places. Russian⏭ photographer Andrey Razumovsky [Андрей Разумовский] stimulating influence to create this work called “Milk” was, well, dairy milk.
Razumovsky’s digitally-enhanced photography introduces us to a collection of scantily clad women photographed pin-up style and “draped” in “milk clothes” such as corsets, dresses, underwear, and bathing suits. Razumovsky’s work is undoubtedly very racy but I personally find the naughty collection rather entertaining and amusing.

Jared Joslin, 1970 | Figurative / Surrealist painter

Jared Joslin is an American painter born in 1970, in Fort Collins, Colorado.

He is always a clever storyteller; symbolic scenes are flooded with plush colors and prosperous details which easily distract the viewer from threatening underpinnings of every tale. Beautiful painting technique accompanies surreal circus themes and nostalgic glamorous female portraiture.

Over the years, there have been countless artists that have given him inspiration.

Jared Joslin is strongly influenced by color, fire and smoke, travel, nature, sky and its many moods, the mystery of forests, the alien world of insects, the beauty and weirdness of animals and birds.

The artist admires objects that have lived a life long ago, especially during the late 1800’s through the 1940’s; the golden age of the circus and Hollywood, carnival lights, silent films, fashion and glamour; cabarets, dance halls and clubs that existed between the war years in Berlin.

Maria Kreyn, 1987 | Figurative painter

Russian**-born painter Maria Kreyn** /Марии Крейн focuses primarily on the figure - on gesture, light, intimate space and intricacies of the human expression.

She emulates old master techniques and textures, to honor the history of painting and the pursuit of beauty.

What perhaps originates in the anachronism, or nostalgia of glory gone reveals itself as the utmost relevant: the human and timeless.

Friedrich Nietzsche / Michael Bilotta ~ Quotes /Gli aforismi

• Le convinzioni sono nemiche della verità più pericolose delle menzogne.
• Un uomo appare ricco di carattere molto più spesso perché segue sempre il suo temperamento, che non perché segue sempre i suoi principi.
• È prerogativa della grandezza rendere molto felici con piccoli doni.
• L'irrazionalità di una cosa non è affatto una ragione contro la sua esistenza, ma piuttosto una condizione di questa.
• Oggi nessuno muore di verità mortali: ci sono troppi antidoti.
• Non esiste alcuna armonia prestabilita tra il favorire la verità e il bene dell'umanità.
• Chi pensa profondamente sa di aver sempre torto, comunque agisca e giudichi.
• Grandezza significa: imprimere una direzione - Nessun fiume è grande e ricco di per sé, ma è il fatto di ricevere e convogliare in sé tanti affluenti a renderlo tale. Ciò vale anche per ogni grandezza dello spirito. Importa solo questo: che uno imprima la direzione che poi tanti affluenti dovranno seguire, e non che uno possieda sin dall'inizio capacità grandi o piccole.
