D. Eleinne Basa, 1967 | Plein Air / Tonalist painter



D. Eleinne Basa is an Award Winning American Landscape painter represented by several Galleries across the United States.
A Classically trained artist, Basa began painting at the young age of 8. Her early training still influences her as it is when she is painting "en plein air" that she is brought back to a time in her childhood when "painting was pure and comes from someplace deep within".
Basa’s landscapes allure the viewer to move into the work with their radiant light and luminescent qualities reminiscent of the early Luminists and Tonalists of the American School. She is inspired by painters like Thomas Moran, George Inness and is continually striving to achieve a certain timelessness to her work.

Francois Lassere, 1960 | Oppositionist Art Movement



Born in Puy de Dôme, France, in 1960, François Lassere is a self-taught painter who practices several techniques. He was interested in hyperrealism for many years, then moved on to working in raw material, when a painter in Paris suggested to him to expand to new techniques.
Lassere then embarked on a new trend, which he calls “Oppositionism”. From this point on his work will mostly consist of highlighting heterogeneous styles to extract harmony from them. He was awarded a gold medal at the Rome academy in 1998, and has been referenced in the international valuation guides since 2000.

William Blake | Symbolist painter

Tigre! Tigre! divampante fulgore
Nelle foreste della notte,
Quale fu l'immortale mano o l'occhio
Ch'ebbe la forza di formare

La tua agghiacciante simmetria?
Amor non cerca di compiacer se stesso
Né per se stesso ha cura
Ma per un altro ogni favor rassegna
E il Cielo erige in un oscuro inferno.
William Blake 1757-1827 | British Romantic era Poet and painter
