The <strong>Art</strong>s Do Live...<br />

“...continuously, and they live literally by faith;<br />

their names and their shapes and their uses and<br />

their basic meanings survive unchanged in all<br />

that matters through times of interruption, diminishment,<br />

neglect; they outlive governments<br />

and creeds and the societies, even the very<br />

civilization that produced them. They cannot<br />

be destroyed altogether because they represent<br />

the substance of faith and the only reality.<br />

They are what we find again when the ruins are<br />

cleared away.” - Katherine Anne Porter<br />

With great pride and an even greater sense of<br />

duty and responsibility we would like to present<br />

the first volume of the <strong>Hidden</strong> <strong>Treasure</strong> <strong>Art</strong><br />

<strong>eMagazine</strong> / Spring <strong>2015</strong> April.<br />

Our mission is to connect and build a bridge<br />

between artists and art lovers by providing and<br />

presenting a high quality source of visual art<br />

and design through our book, website, magazine<br />

and other publications. We are dedicated<br />

to bringing happiness and recognition to the<br />

artists and joy, beauty and satisfaction to the<br />

art lovers let them be collectors, buyers, galleries,<br />

curators or others taking pleasure in art and<br />

design.<br />

We believe that <strong>Hidden</strong> <strong>Treasure</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>eMagazine</strong><br />

has much to offer both to the <strong>Art</strong>ist and to<br />

the Readers.<br />

Her main reference developing her painting style was the painter Pere Torné-Esquius<br />

(Barcelona 1879-Flavancourt 1936), particularly 11 naïve works which had been<br />

painted by him to decorate a child´s room. Maria tries to achieve an art for all ages:<br />

a kind of art dedicated to both child and adult. She shows her artwork both at regional<br />

and international scale.<br />

“...the expressive style of M.<br />

Teresa Guala identifies herself<br />

with a search tied to the colour,<br />

to the intense flowing of<br />

the line and to the vital scansion<br />

of the images. In particular,<br />

the painter has elaborated<br />

a speech in which the simplification<br />

of the representation<br />

results, as suggested by A.<br />

Bottello, by an adhesion to<br />

the German Expressionism.” -<br />

these works evocative in the extreme and in ‘a<br />

pictorial figure’ – as said in precedence - Neoexpressionist...<br />

In fact in her works, above all in the<br />

most recent, we find a far analogy of line with<br />

some important painters of “Die Brucke” as Heckel,<br />

Kirchner, Schmidt, Rottluff.” - <strong>Art</strong>uro Bottello<br />

<strong>2015</strong><br />

Born in Lienz, Austria. Gabi Domenig<br />

was attracted to fine arts in an early<br />

age. Her love for painting encouraged<br />

her to take classes in nude painting,<br />

color theory, drawing and composition.<br />

Following her first exhibition in<br />

1999, where she presented 20 large<br />

pastel paintings, she started to paint<br />

with acrylics on canvas. Gabi is primarily<br />

concerned with the representation<br />

of man and women which shows<br />

through her artworks. She tries to capture<br />

moments and to build up emotional<br />

tensions. The viewer should feel<br />

something of her passion when she<br />

paints. For her art should be life-affirming<br />

and beautiful, touching and connecting.<br />

Her characters send out varied<br />

emotions such as pride, pain, love,<br />

sadness, loneliness, joy and longing.<br />

The figures are mostly located in a<br />

particular environment cutout. The expression<br />

of the eyes should animate<br />

the viewer to enter in a deeper communication<br />

with the figures in the picture.<br />

Flowers, plants, animals, patterns<br />

and landscape sections are decorative<br />

parts, but are usually situated in the<br />

background. Because of her intensive<br />

color palette and the figurative painting<br />

she is attributed to the Neo-Expressionism.<br />

You can find her images in private<br />

collections, in international art books,<br />

art magazines and online art galleries.<br />

“Daniel Wimmer was born in Salzburg<br />

He’s been drawing since childhood<br />

and since he has finished the Nursing<br />

School he is truly ‘addicted’ to<br />

it. Due to working in night-shifts he<br />

has more spare time and he started<br />

to draw and paint every day. With<br />

the help of different books and online<br />

courses he taught himself the<br />

techniques of the old masters and<br />

Kirsten Høst is a Danish artist, now living<br />

in Denmark, who has embarked on<br />

a new phase of her life and work, after<br />

spending 30 years in London, UK. This<br />

new phase emanates from a confident<br />

and sure belief and trust, that there is a<br />

plan for each one of us, if we allow our<br />

true gifts to unfold naturally. This trust has<br />

allowed her to find a new vision and a<br />

new voice working with oil painting and<br />

watercolour/ink/collages.<br />

14 I HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>2015</strong>


Kirstens work is strongly influenced by<br />

geometry, which she sees reflected in<br />

all aspects of our universe. This theme<br />

was reinforced by her meticulous study<br />

and admiration of the great renaissance<br />

painters in the museums in Italy,<br />

where she has spent longer periods of<br />

time, especially in Firenze, Perugia and<br />

Venezia. Kirsten`s work frequently starts<br />

with a geometric shape and with an<br />

open mind, and inspiration develops a<br />

life and vibration of its own.<br />

Her work has been exhibited in London,<br />

Paris, Edinburg, Copenhagen, Philadelphia,<br />

and New York in the U.S.A, and<br />

will be in <strong>2015</strong> exhibited in Palermo and<br />

Firenze in Italy, Paris in France and in<br />

Barcelona in Spain.<br />

Canada<br />

Born in 1956 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec (Canada), Raymond<br />

Quenneville is a self-taught artist who has been<br />

painting for over 35 years. In 1992, after having explored a variety of media, he went<br />

back to oil painting, and decided to pursue his own unique style in expressing landscape<br />

and light.<br />

By playing with complementary colours, Raymond Quenneville accentuates contrasts<br />

and creates impressive luminous effects. In his landscape paintings, subtle values<br />

variations almost make visible the fine consistency of the air itself and create an<br />

illusion of depth that is convincing to the eye. He likes to paint peaceful environments,<br />

expressing serenity and equanimity of places where it is good to stop and just<br />

be for a moment.<br />

Raymond Quenneville has held many solo exhibitions and participated in numerous<br />

collective exhibitions and symposia. Winner of several awards he has received many<br />

special mentions from juries and the public. He is a member of the Institut des arts<br />

figuratifs (IAF), of the Society of Canadian <strong>Art</strong>ists (SCA) and of the Mondial <strong>Art</strong> Academia<br />

(MAA).<br />

<strong>Art</strong> Website - Do you have one?<br />

If you are an artist, you must proactively market your creations<br />

to the world to become acknowledged and appreciated in<br />

this highly competitive industry. While there are a number of<br />

ways to market your artistry and unique eye including participating<br />

in art shows, exhibits and contests, there is nothing more<br />

effective than creating an art website to market your skills and<br />

exceptional artwork. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder,<br />

you will give your visitors the visual samples that will affect<br />

their impression on you as both a person and an artist.<br />

While it is true that artists today have many choices as far as<br />

online art marketing is concerned the importance of having a<br />

presence via means of a personal website for your art is more<br />

valid today than ever. If you desire to sell art online it is crucial<br />

to have your own presence if you desire to reap the reward<br />

of your efforts. Having your own artist website is a key factor<br />

toward success if you desire to sell original art online without<br />

having to split profit from eCommerce with others.<br />

During the last uranium boom of the 1970’s, Blackburn co-owned and operated a mining<br />

and exploration company, North American Resources Corp. working out of Moab,<br />

UT, which was how he came to focus on red rock landscapes.<br />

Blackburn’s art has been widely exhibited, collected and has hung in the White House<br />

and appeared on national television. In 1987, he invented a new, user-interactive art<br />

form for which he received a US Patent in 1990. His work is frequently commissioned by<br />

collectors.<br />

Francesco Sandrelli is a self-taught artist<br />

from Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany. He<br />

had art exhibitions in France, Canada,<br />

UK and the United States. Although he<br />

had a keen interest in drawing since early<br />

childhood, he began to paint in the<br />

eighties, attending a private school in<br />

Florence. After four years spent in school,<br />

he felt exhausted and went to hospital<br />

for art therapy in painting. From 1994, he<br />

paints again. His works during this period<br />

reflect a ‘grande’ love for his family.<br />

For a while he paints large canvases, especially in remembrance<br />

of childhood memories, sensations and dreams: his<br />

virtual storytelling mixes fairy tales with inner visions, combining<br />

imperfection with sharpness and abstraction with figurative.<br />

Sometimes feeling everything farce around, Francesco<br />

is striving to find sense in turmoil through painting.<br />

“The watercolours are worked in<br />

the artist juggles with the strokes<br />

by the delicacy of the stroke,<br />

the insect himself becomes a comedian<br />

Fu Wenjun, Chinese important<br />

artist, talks about history<br />

of art; it’s not a means,<br />

but the main goal. He<br />

therefore analyses some<br />

aspects which are meant<br />

to express a timeless concept.<br />

In this way, the expression<br />

of every artwork<br />

becomes a thesis with no<br />

possibility of anti-thesis, full<br />

of proofs which we find<br />

again many times in history,<br />

western and oriental, to<br />

remember that history is repeating<br />

itself and that the<br />

mankind as a whole has<br />

The particular feature is to discover, select and process the intrinsic essence from the<br />

huge diversity and variety of forms, substances and situations with a discrete power<br />

of attraction to be creatively converted into artworks. Sir Karl Popper very rightly accentuated<br />

the abundant beauty of our planet Earth. With his photographs Weber<br />

quests to contribute to it’s visualization. Wilfried Wiegand calls this the ‘detected<br />

beauty’, which has been already existing but has to be bared and recollected. It<br />

is no matter of words and reasons to get access to this kind of artwork. The key is to<br />

realize it subjectively as individual beholder in his respective perception. In this sense<br />

Weber’s artwork wants to touch people and at the best to fascinate and to inspire.<br />

Approaching Galleries<br />

It’s one thing being an established and<br />

famous artist, where all you have to do<br />

is paint the pictures and hand them<br />

over to an agent, then show up for the<br />

preview evening. It’s another to be at<br />

the beginning of your career as an artist.<br />

Most of us have to plan our own shows,<br />

as I have done over the last few years,<br />

and there is a lot of work involved if<br />

you want to get the most out of your<br />

art exhibition. I was fortunate in that I<br />

worked as a gallery assistant for artist<br />

Nerys Johnson when I was at Durham<br />

University, and assisted her with preparing<br />

for her shows. Even though she<br />

was an established artist, there was still<br />

a lot to be done.<br />

After you have planned an exhibition<br />

of your work, you will see that the commission<br />

galleries request is well worth<br />

the effort they put in!<br />

Restaurants might be a good place to<br />

start, it works for both the restaurant in<br />

terms of attracting customers, and the<br />

artist. It is also a good place to get over<br />

your ‘art exhibition anxiety’ in a far less<br />

intimidating atmosphere than a public<br />

gallery. They charge no commission,<br />

but you have to do the work yourself…<br />

from the hanging to the promotion<br />

and subsequent sales. So, it is from this<br />

perspective that I write.<br />

In the Beginning: Your First <strong>Art</strong> Exhibition<br />

First of all, you must secure your ‘gallery<br />

space’. I had my first solo art exhibition<br />

at Pizza Express in Darlington, UK.<br />

As a corporation, they have a huge<br />

commitment to the arts, in particular<br />

local artists. Their restaurants are often<br />

designed as galleries themselves, and<br />

they know that their customers really<br />

appreciate the ever-changing work<br />

on their walls. To be continued...<br />

Elana Schwartz is a wood sculptor<br />

from New Mexico. She has been<br />

drawn to the use of statuary as a<br />

conduit between the physical and<br />

metaphysical; concrete objects<br />

transcend the inherent limitations of<br />

the physical and provide a channel<br />

through which hidden meaning is<br />

unlocked. Wood is the perfect medium<br />

to explore concepts of the<br />

cyclical nature of life, containing<br />

within each piece a living history<br />

and future all its own. The recreation<br />

of wood into sculpture captures<br />

the transformative spirit of our own<br />

life cycles, and has the capacity to<br />

make any space sacred.<br />

Why <strong>Art</strong>ists Should Be Paid for<br />

Their <strong>Art</strong>work?<br />

“<strong>Art</strong>ists shouldn’t be paid for their art. Getting paid prevents them from<br />

creating really good stuff.” - I read somewhere online.<br />

I want to make three points about <strong>Art</strong>, Contribution and Money with this<br />

article:<br />

Your art is a contribution to society. It brings joy, it solves problems, and<br />

it makes this world a better place.<br />

Being paid allows you to make that contribution to society.<br />

Your contribution expands in relation to the amount of time you put<br />

into it. More hours means expanded contribution to this world with your<br />

God-given talent.<br />

“<strong>Art</strong>ists are better off working a job they hate and then painting in their<br />

spare time.”<br />

This is the problem I have with that:<br />

No one should work a job they hate. You were put on this earth with<br />

talents and you are meant to do that which you are good at and what<br />

you love! The world is missing out on your contribution. The less an artist<br />

creates, the less they grow. It requires hours upon hours to hone your<br />

craft.<br />

Charging for your artwork enables you to make a contribution to the<br />

world with your art. It allows you to develop your style and to get better<br />

and better at what you do.<br />

As long as we are stuck in a money based system, I find it an outright insult<br />

to all hardworking artists to say they shouldn’t be paid for what they<br />

do. It’s just a crazy notion that this one, single profession should work for<br />

free! (While everyone else gets paid.)<br />

Giuseppe Digiacomo was born in Manduria on January 23, 1990. Since childhood<br />

he was fascinated by the art of shaping wood and by attending the workshop of an<br />

artisan, he acquired the rudiments that allowed him to learn how to assemble and<br />

transform materials readily available. At 9 years old, he moved to Rome, where he<br />

still lives and works.<br />

The eternal city stimulates and intrigue him, with its many shops and works of art in<br />

every alley. So, he get close on tiptoe to the art world that, in a short time, involves<br />

him completely. In January <strong>2015</strong>, he made his first work, “Spazio Vitale”, in which he<br />

focuses the man with his own emotions. Emotions that are also his and that, since<br />

then, take shape in his works.<br />

In a short time, he experimented new materials and perfected his technique. The<br />

Maestro Alberto Vespaziani, President of “100 Pittori di via Margutta” Association, is<br />

the first who to take an interest in its work and, judging them as innovative, he agree,<br />

in 26.03.<strong>2015</strong>, to expose him with artists of the Association. Since then he has participated<br />

in several collective exhibition and in various artistic contest.<br />

“Marian Sava” makes the stone sing”<br />

He received his artistic education at the<br />

Royal Academy of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s of Bruxelles.<br />

When looking at his works, one word comes<br />

to mind ‘Emotion’, because one experiences<br />

a great pleasure, produced by the creative<br />

impulses of the artist, which are marked<br />

by the seal of extreme sensitivity. Marian<br />

Sava approaches the abstract art in his very<br />

nuanced manner, without ever falling on<br />

the side of pure and hard abstraction. He<br />

passes smoothly, from the strict image of a<br />

subject to the creation of new unexpected<br />

forms (...)<br />

Amapola<br />

For the eye’s delight, in the<br />

summer, colored parasols invade<br />

fields and the roadsides<br />

… these are the poppies!<br />

Light of Day<br />

“Vibrations of the wings of insects,<br />

the day and the night”.<br />

A true rehersal in miniature, with<br />

an end unpredictable when<br />

you look carefully the vibration<br />

of insects’s wings<br />

Burning Bush<br />

“Myth and reality in the history<br />

of humanity”. The burning Bush<br />

is, in the biblical tradition, the<br />

revelation of the Angel of the<br />

God inside a Bush that burned<br />

without ever burn on Mount Sinai.<br />

Here, God sends Moses deliver<br />

his people from slavery and<br />

gives him the tablets of the law<br />

with the ten commandments,<br />

carved in stone by the fire.<br />

Birds were always used to carry<br />

messages. Benefiting from their<br />

aerodynamic shape in their<br />

flight, one watches them, high<br />
