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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

“...some ‘stories’ having as support plan some<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 />
and grew up in an artist family.<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 />

In his paintings he loves playing<br />
with contrasts, compositions and<br />
different schools. He hardly repeats<br />
himself and this way he is learning<br />
from each new picture. His preferred<br />
subject are people. He loves<br />

shapes of their bodies and faces.”<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 />

feather and brush in concert. In that<br />

indelible stroke becomes a challenge<br />
that she finds amusing. In her peaceful<br />

“The watercolours are worked in<br />
a non-conformist way, often with<br />
five or six layers, very meticulous<br />
work. In tone splashes of colour<br />
the artist juggles with the strokes<br />
of the feather, with rhythm, movements,<br />
and dynamism. Transported<br />
by the delicacy of the stroke,<br />
the insect himself becomes a comedian<br />
or a minstrel. And finally<br />
this strange world takes us to respect<br />
the differences. In feat, it<br />
means respect of the other, Love<br />
of Live, in all shapes and form”.<br />

He follows his emotions, exploring original languages<br />
to become spokesman for the complex<br />
of today’s man feelings. Not infrequently<br />
the reality itself enters into his paintings,<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 />
similarities beyond geo-cultural<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 />

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 />

flight, one watches them, high<br />
