Luis De Leõn, 1950 | Fashion painter

Inspiration principale: The beauty. His work is technically flawless. Her gesture is sure, and the chromatic palette responds perfectly to her visionary impulses, whose inspiration is obviously the mystery of feminine sensuality..
Love is there but it cannot be seen, it can be guessed.
It is both decorative and fascinating, an invitation to a permanent and inspiring reverie.
Idyllic vision of a breast or a croup deliciously and barely revealed, an often transparent silk. Everything is more suggested than visible, and when it is visible, what we do not see, leaves it to our imagination to create it in the image of what we would like.

Catlin Harrison ~ Abstract artist

A Londoner by birth and inclination, the city provides for me a fresh daily helping of eclectic people to watch and wonder about.
'I'm endlessly fascinated with the human form, especially meta-figures like ghosts or dolls or archetypes. Sometimes I think my work stems from a collectors' sensibility - particularly those Victorian do-gooders who pinned butterflies or measured skulls. Each piece of work is an independent specimen, a set of examples of a particular type.
Presence, oddity, beauty and humour are important elements in all my work, as is colour and aesthetics

Daniel Ridgway Knight | Genre / Figurative painter


Daniel Ridgway Knight’s (15 March 1839 - 9 March 1924) works represent so many aspects of Ninetee­nth Century painting, in­cluding history, genre, landscape, portrait and floral themes.
In each work, all that is aesthetic is recorded with fine detail and skill.In order to faithfully record the scenery, night studied the different phases of the day and their effects on the environ­ment.
Knight built a glass studio outside of his home, enabl­ing him to paint outdoors, even in the dead of winter.
Whether he was concen­trating on the evening with the glow of moon­light upon the Seine River or on a young woman in a brightly colored flower garden at midday, each scene is depicted with great detail and with specific attention to a realistic portrayal of the landscape.
