Leonor Anthony
Leonor Anthony is an Expressionist artist born in Havana, Cuba.Leonor’s preferred mediums are oil on canvas, charcoal drawings, digital art, mixed media and photography. The imagery of her art is crafted with unprecedented assertiveness. Her paintings exhibit a combination of refined, complex and loose brush strokes, characterized by violently expressive color and jarring compositions seeking to elicit a visceral reaction. Her work conveys her passionate need to express feelings and ideas though color.
She experiments with a vast array of different styles and techniques; preferring to set her own rules creating an experience that is both radical and classical at once.
Leonor uses art as a vehicle of activism, which draws her irresistibly. Her views concerning human rights, the environment, education and the welfare and empowerment of women throughout the world are the guiding posts of her creations.
Leonor’s work is collected and exhibited internationally. Beijing International Art Exposition 2012 and 2013, Seoul Open Art Fair, Korea 2013 & 2014, Carrousel Du Louvre, Paris 2014, New York Times Square 2014, Art Basel Miami- Spectrum 2014, Biennale of Paris 2014,Biennale di Palermo 2015.

Daria Cipriani
“Photography is reading people’s life through the map of their lines, their body language, their stories, their surroundings, their questioning eyes. Photography is the constant effort and quest to make the invisible visible.”
Daria Cipriani is a photographer born in Tuscany, Italy. She has lived in Canada, USA, Italy, Antigua and presently lives in Vancouver, B.C., where Cantico series were taken. She has combined her passion for travelling with her passion for photography. Her curiosity and art of observation have been transposed to images of people or places which reflect the gesture of ordinary life, filtered by her understanding, emotions and fears.
Cypriani’s photographs aim to bring awareness to other’s despair, pain and discomfort: their cry for help and hope. It is the artist’s responsibility to make sure that the viewers hear it.

Ruben Santurian
“Si supiera que el mundo se acaba mañana, yo, hoy todavía, plantaría un árbol.” -Martin Luther King
Entiendo al arte como una manifestación del pensamiento, un modo de expresar ideología. Para mí el arte debe decir algo y así contribuir con un pequeño grano de arena a la reflexión sobre la realidad, los conflictos sociales, la energía perdida en la gran producción de residuos, los problemas urbanos, la densidad, la saturación de las infraestructuras y más aún, los grandes conflictos ambientales de esta época.
En este nuevo proyecto, los deshechos adquieren una nueva vida en los Trash-formers, humanizando y redimensionando lo perecedero. Una propuesta que intenta promover un compromiso y un diálogo sostenido con una sociedad que necesita reconocerse y expresarse.
Tony Lopez
Born in Cuba in the early 1920s, Tony Lopez was exposed to the art of sculpture since the beginning. His father and grandfather were both sculptors and Tony spent much time modeling clay. Tony’s father was a sculptor, and little Tony learned to shape clay and carve, while others his age were learning the alphabet. By the time he was a teenager, he was quite skilled in what was to be his profession. His father died while working on a commissioned monument, which was finished by the eighteen-year old Tony.
In 1958, he and his family fled Cuba’s revolution and came to live in the USA. “The most important thing is to be free… to express yourself. Although the environment helps to determine the creative process, the evolution my work has undergone was inevitable.”
Tony Lopez sculptures can be seen around the world. He has exhibited in galleries from the Museum of Modern Art in Washington DC to the Rockefeller Center in New York City and at the homes and businesses of private collectors around the world.
Roberto Polillo
Born in Milan in 1946, Roberto lives between his native city, Rome and Miami. In the 1960s, he photographed over a hundred jazz concerts, building up a complete gallery of portraits of the most important jazz musicians of the period. These images have been displayed in numerous solo exhibitions, and used for magazines, books, CD sleeves, and have been collected in a photographic book Swing, Bop & Free (2006), which presents over 100 portraits of jazz icons of the 1960s.
But then, after entering with his jazz images in the history of entertainment photography, in the early 1970s he decided to hang up his camera and embark on a completely different career, as both an entrepreneur in the computer software business and an university professor.
In the early 2000’s he took up his camera again, after an expressive silence lasted three decades, exploring new different languages for travel art photography. Roberto’s primary objective is now to capture the genius loci of cities and countries. Like those nineteenth-century painters who sought the spirit of place with their brush, Polillo goes in search of the souls of the places with his camera.
And so was born “Impressions of the World,” an artistic adventure that began more than a decade ago and led him Middle and Far East and to Central and North America. Always fascinated by the Orient, Roberto’s photographic exploration was firstly nothing less than a spiritual and physical voyage to the East, that necessarily began in Venice, where East and West have met and mingled for centuries. Exhibition and book “Visions of Venice” was the first chapter of this journey.
Presently, he is trying to evocate with his images the future of big cities, with his explorations of the big metropolitan areas of the world, such as New York, Mexico City, Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai, Hong Kong and others.
To represent the spirit of the places, Roberto uses a particular artistic language, based on the ICM — Intentional Camera Movement — shooting technique. A form of expression that is still relatively unknown but has enormous potential, and involves creating images with long exposures and moving the camera while taking the photo.

José Coronel
Expresionismo lírico contemporáneo, José Coronel realizó una gira por Europa participando en una serie de exposiciones colectivas, principalmente en Italia, entre 2011 y 2012, sin dejar de visitar otros países importantes en el mundo del arte como son España y Francia.
En los principales museos observó las obras de los grandes maestros abstractos, realistas, impresionistas, expresionistas y cubistas enriqueciendo su ya dilatada trayectoria de treinta y cinco años “versátil y fecunda en los campos de la escultura, dibujo, la pintura, grabado, publicidad, muralismo, vitral, además de ser profesor, asesor cultural, con amplia participación en instancias directivas de la cultura y de las artes, especializado en reconstruir, remodelar y crear monumentos urbanos en gran escala” como muy bien lo señala el crítico de arte (también pintor) Perán Erminy.
A pesar de la sempiterna reflexión sobre la pureza del arte la historia está demostrando que lo mejor que pueden hacer los creadores, en particular, es trabajar unidos a la tecnología, trascendiendo paradigmas, y alcanzando la contemporaneidad que requiere en el espacio-tiempo que viven. Si ya venía cosechando una obra de multiplicidad formal y técnica, con influencia de lo espontáneo, lo inadvertido y gestual, en lienzos cargados de chorros de color y la proyección de espacios de luz, después de su gira por el Viejo Continente, abandonó la timidez del pequeño o mediano formato, para con fuerza sagaz, alcanzar el goce visual de los grandes cuadros.
Maura Lucchese
A third generation artist, Maura Lucchese has shown, produced, and taught her unique, gentle, and energetic perspective on the internal human condition via portraiture, abstractions, figure studies, and metaphor throughout the entire world. Using recycled magazines, in an effort to encourage good stewardship of our planet, Maura attempts to bring to life the emotions and expressions of loved ones who touched her life. She conveys the sweetness, intimacy, and nostalgia largely through feminine imagery, recognizing that her female mind and perspective are the natural conduit through which her images are channeled. Ms. Lucchese, emphatically states, “From discarded refuse, torn to bits, I lead you into knowing that the human imagination is sufficient to invent new ways to affirm life, support it, and to move others to action by the passion of its viewing.”

Jon C. Gilchrist
Jon Gilchrist is a self-taught abstract artist born and raised in Oklahoma City, OK. I’ve grown up around art – from performance art, to acting, to poetry, to painting. My work reflects that involvement and evolution – that growth. Each of my artistic expressions created amazing opportunities for me to push my boundaries, take chances, and work beyond my comfort zones. 
My Mother is a major motivation and inspiration in my art. And while she is no longer here, her words of encouragement and honesty live on. And those words fuel me to spread out and move onward. And so I paint – with my heart, with my spirits, with her memory.
So, every time I grab a brush and a canvas, I take chances – push myself to truly live my art.
