ARTIST STORIES | INSPIRE & EMPOWER
Contemporary
Realism Oil
Paintings
By Carina Francioso

March 2022
www.magzoid.com

“I aim for meticulousness in my work because it gives me a sense of
success and integrity,” says Carina Francioso
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Carina Francioso is a
multi-award-winning
Canadian fine artist
whose work can be
seen in private and
corporate collections all over the
world. Her contemporary realist
oil paintings reflect her rigorous
attention to detail. Carina's
paintings, which are inspired by her
life and travels, capture moments
frozen in time while also inspiring
the viewer's imagination, allowing
them to create their interpretation.
Carina's art evolves throughout
time, yet her intimate journey
with each brushstroke and detail
remains the same. Her work is a
clear representation of her love of
life and her insatiable curiosity for
beauty and fluidity.
She has spent her entire life
around water and had no idea that
it would find its way into her art
until one summer in Italy when she
captured the Ionian Sea. The view
enthralled her, and she knew these
pictures would have an impact on
her next body of work.
Her paintings depict moments
in time that are fixed in time,
but they also excite the viewer's
imagination, allowing them to
I work in the traditional
medium of oil paint
because I find its rich
texture helps to enhance
the natural beauty of
light on water, as well
as to highlight the sea's
mysteriousness.
create their interpretation. She
works as a contemporary painter
to portray the world's gift of water
and to recognize the importance of
cherishing and preserving it.
“I aim for meticulousness in my
work because it gives me a sense
of success and integrity: I honestly
believe that every detail matters as
much as the total,” said Carina.
My experiences with water
have inspired my paintings and
my goal is that my work will elicit
meaningful memories or responses
in the viewer, as water is universal
and connects us all. I work in the
traditional medium of oil paint
because I find its rich texture helps
to enhance the natural beauty
of light on water, as well as to
highlight the sea's mysteriousness.
When applied thinly the blending
capabilities of oil paint can achieve
and add a sensual and seductive
quality to my work. In addition to
smaller works, I often use largescale
canvases or wood panels as
they help to heighten the memory
of the experience, bringing it to life
and enveloping the viewer into the
vastness of the water.

Hyperrealism
By Rafael Antonio Fonseca
“I believe that the faces and body language of the children show the real
essence of the human being,” says Rafael Antonio Fonseca
Exclusive to Magzoid
Rafael Antonio Fonseca
Acevedo was born in
Bogotá, Colombia on
May 17 in 1988. He
is a truly exceptional
hyperrealist artist. At an early
age, he showed an interest in
drawing, where he explored
various techniques and materials,
especially graphite.
In his last years of Architecture,
he decided to return to his
passion for drawing and art, thus
discovering a revolutionary painting
tool, the art of the airbrush. He
decided to dedicate himself fully
to acrylic and the art of airbrush
painting.
He was inclined by hyperrealism,
thus beginning to develop as
the main theme in his works,
portrait, giving high value to the
connection of the gaze between
living beings using his airbrush
as the main tool and other mixed
techniques. He trained as a selftaught
artist of airbrush painting,
developing his artistic proposals

and its deterioration through human
history, with a touch of Magical
Realism and critical perspective.
He seeks to captivate the viewer
through his meticulous painting
technique. He does not believe in
just capturing a snapshot in time
but taking the viewer into a visual
journey that stirs the senses and
leaves a dramatic impression.
Rafael currently focuses on
setting childhood as the main
theme of his work. “I think after
becoming a dad my vision of the
world sharply changed in a very
positive way and that’s why I want
all my spectators to see themselves
reflected in my artworks through
the transparent and deep gaze of
a child. I believe that the faces and
body language of the children show
the real essence of the human
being.”
The connection we have with
the water is the main element in
his new series PIW (Playing in
the water) which is intended to
contrast the water with the dry skin.
For this series, he is using acrylic
paintings that atomize through an
airbrush. Also using brushes and
some mixed techniques to bring
accuracy and get an amazing
result in every detail, leading the
people to the experience of realism.
Let´s work hard to build a better
world for our children so they’ll be
able to grow up in an environment
full of art and love.

The ‘Store of the Future’ at Mall of
the Emirates brings the future of shopping to life
The globe is already
experiencing advanced
fashion technology, with
retail stores arriving at our
doorsteps, but Dubai has
stepped it up a notch by launching
the ‘Store of the Future.’
By integrating physical and
digital purchasing concepts,
the store in Dubai’s Mall of the
Emirates provides visitors with an
immersive and personalized buying
experience.
The Store of the Future in
collaboration with Cisco aims
to bring the best features of
e-commerce into the physical retail

rotates a variety of womenswear,
menswear, beauty, and homeware
brands that are not unique but use

with shoppers being given products
based on their gender and tastes
using data collected by AI and
computer vision.
For example, if you’re looking for
a specific shade of lipstick, you
may use the screen to select the
one that looks best on you without
touching the product. For a more
convenient shopping experience,
the smart screen can be divided
into three parts for three different
shoppers.’Magic Mirrors’ are
strategically positioned throughout
the store to enhance the experience.
Visitors must scan the product on
the mirror to obtain information such
as the pricing, available sizes, and
alternative colours (if any). Similar to
internet shopping, it also proposes
similar goods or pairs to go with the
ensemble.
When you select a product to
sample, the magic mirror can
transition from a physical to a digital
experience, and when the product
is scanned, it provides detailed
information about the object’s colour,
price, and size.

LEADERSHIP TALKS
Jean-Christophe Babin,
Group CEO of Bulgari
Jean-Christophe Babin, Group CEO was born with dual French and Italian
nationality in Paris in 1959. In the year 1994, Jean became the Managing Director
of Henkel’s Italian subsidiary, and in 1998 he was Senior Vice-President at the
German headquarters in Düsseldorf. Later on, he took a turn towards high end
organisation. Jean initially joined the luxury group LVMH and went on to work
with TAG Heuer in Switzerland. By the end of the year 2000, he was appointed as
the President and CEO of TAG Heuer. In 2011, Bulgari was bought by LVMH, and
he has been the CEO ever since 2013. He has been an energetic, strategic, and
charismatic leader exemplifying his skills by running a global organization, at rates
outperforming peer competition. Here is an excerpt from Magzoid’s conversation
with Jean-Christophe Babin about his journey.
Exclusive to Magzoid
How did you come up with the
concept of Bulgari Contemporary
Art Awards in the UAE?
We believe in creating global
conversation between different
cultures such as this major
exhibition soon taking placein
Beijing interchanging ideas between
Chinese and Italian markets.
Likewise a similar estbalishment in
the UAE capitalizing on the previous
experiences have put together
many of these young talents that
are creating new masterpieces and
going beyond connecting Bulgari.
A ring should have an
emotional element, it
should not only be a piece
of finely crafted gold, but
it should also trigger an
emotional feeling.
The programme is to promote and
rejuvienate contemporary art in the
society. Contemporary art is crucuial
to the western world and therefore
for us, promoting and providing
spotlight for young talents that have
potential to become jewellers with
us as well as inspire our current
jewellers to develop further and
think out of the box is vital. The
conversations with these young
talents that are forming these novel
masterworks exceed expectations
and we are glad we have managed
to get such popular and world
famous creators.
www.magzoid.com March 2022 17

LEADERSHIP TALKS
What’s your take on ‘Beauty
Connects People’?
On one hand, you glorify the
precious nature, stones, art of
the jewelers, and also the lady's
beauty. As a jeweler, you are a
beauty enhancer. You contribute to
the elegance and sophistication of
ladies and also participate in the
more important element which is
the beauty of emotions. Jewelry is
often mentioned as a turning point
of life experience. It's not just about
elegance and sophistication, it's
more about joy. The art of jewelry is
universal and is everywhere.
You have prominently established
yourself as successful business
personnel. Would you like to share
a bit about how and why you plan
to move into the luxury goods
segment?
We are primarily more than every
jeweler; we are born as jewelers
and have to be recognized by our
art to create the desire for precious
gems, fragrances, and watches.
Glorifying radiance by sharing
and crafting gems of nature and
glorifying skins by putting them in
such a magnificent way, we believe
that today we have a chance to
be the top in the world of jewelry.
We have 7 in operations and 5 in
construction. We are the first Italian
brand and have plenty of networks.
We know it from surveys and Dubai
also comes number one in the terms
of interpretation and price.
The ultimate sophistication of jewelry
applied to the skin is our challenge
and the dream in our eyes. A ring
should have an emotional element,
it should not only be a piece of
finely crafted gold, but it should also
trigger an emotional feeling.
Leading a brand like Bulgari
needs some exceptional
leadership abilities and an
exemplification of that is you.
As a part of how leaders think in
scenarios of crisis, I would like to
ask you a question. Would you like
to define a challenging situation
that you had come across and
how did you come through it?
Experience shows crises are always
special. For example, illness in the
villages killed many people. In such
a situation we have no other option
than to look out of the box and
invent machines. Out of trauma and
lack of manpower, some geniuses
came out with great ideas. In the
same way, the right attitude from
The essence of Rome is
applied to every piece of
the watch, jewelry, and
art. We take inspiration
from wherever there's
beauty. But often the
first step is from
Roman heritage.
a company protects the company
and its customers. We work in a
smart world and it changes the
balance between our lives. We have
to adapt and learn to communicate.
Because of the Covid scenario, we
have to act more sophisticatedly.
Leadership in times of crisis is to
find whether you are an escaper
or a fighter. It's a moment of
revolution; we have to manage our
supply chains and business, think
differently, take different directions
and from there think of the original
goal and be quicker. It is a market
race and you'll be discouraged but
you have to do something different
and think differently.
Whether it’s a Bulgari perfume,
a Bulgari watch, or staying at a
Bulgari hotel, what defines the
Bulgari experience?
To turn nature's precious into
even more emotional sensations
or objects or shapes or designs
is art. Not only architectural and
artistic background, but we also do
everything, the creativity or crafting,
is all roman spirits. The essence of
Rome is applied to every piece of
the watch, jewelry, and art. We take
inspiration from wherever there's
beauty. But often the first step is
from Roman heritage.
What are your upcoming plans for
collaborating with artists in the
UAE?
The point is to collaborate with
luxury companies. We are probably
closest to art, therefore I think it's
crucial for us to participate in artistic
evolution and art is one of the kinds
we do. On one end it's paying
the tributes to the artists. We will
promote more than art. There will
be some good stuff for jewelers and
perfumes. It is all connected.
What is the motto you live by?
My motto is very much Roman; it is
Carpe diem. Not to be stressed for
the future and to make the most out
of it. Life is simple to move on, learn
and evolve.
What message do you have for
our creative community?
Art is evolving and never old. Turn
your art into NFTs or be it digital.
We all have talents and we all have
dreams just materialize it and
just do it.

SPECIAL DAYS - INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
International
Women’s Day
International Women's Day is
celebrated on March 8th every
year and is one of the most
significant days of the year. It is
a worldwide event that honors
women's social, economic, cultural,
and political achievements. It
offers an opportunity to reflect on
progress made, to call for change,
and to celebrate acts of courage
and determination by ordinary
women who have played an
extraordinary role in the history of
their countries and communities.
#BreakTheBias is the campaign
theme for International Women's
Day 2022. The theme highlights the
importance of challenging biases
and misconceptions in the interest
of creating a more inclusive and
gender-equal world.
According to the United Nations,
International Women's Day started
in America in 1909, when the
Socialist Party of America took
to the streets to honor garment
workers who had protested against
inhumane working conditions the
year before. They called it National
Women's Day, and it took place on
February 28. The following year,
Social International established
Women's Day in Copenhagen
to celebrate those working for
women's rights and universal
suffrage. Over the next few years,
more countries in Europe marked
the holiday on March 8. It wasn't
until March 8, 1975, when, during
International Women's Year, the
United Nations celebrated it as
an official holiday. Since 1975, the
holiday has gained awareness
around the globe as a way to
recognize women.
The world is moving towards
gender equality. It is moving
towards a balance between
both men and women. A
change is required and is
also essential. Women's Day
focuses on celebrating women's
accomplishments, promoting
awareness about gender equality,
fighting for faster gender parity, and
raising funds for women's charities.
The day is all about feeling selfworth
and achieving the goals as
per the potential.

SPECIAL DAYS - INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
WOMEN CREATING AN IMPACT
“Women are the foundational keystones of a society’s progress
– their contributions are countless, and most importantly,
selfless. It is the power to shape the world that makes each
and every woman so special. This International Women’s Day,
let us celebrate the women who are making a difference and
help them unleash their full potential. Because that is the only
way we can secure our future as a civilisation.”
HE Hala Badri
Director General of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority
commentary on International Women's Day
A woman should be
celebrated every day and
there is no such thing as a
typical woman, we are all
different, yet each one of
us holds several identities
which is a celebration on
its own, the daughter, the
mother, the wife, the sister,
the list is endless. We all
go through our years with
varying degrees of success,
and disruption, and whatever
stage a woman is in, there
should be one irrefutable
truth: she shouldn’t be alone.
She is bound to have another
woman by her side.
Samar Kamel
Artist, Curator
My message to women
everywhere is to remember
that you are a natural-born
leader. The qualities of
empathy and kindness, the
ability to build community
and foster relationships, to be
able to nurture connections,
THIS is what makes you a
good leader. And you can
lead from wherever you are,
with whatever you have.
Malavika Varadan
RJ and Managing Director –
The Hive
On this special day, we
celebrate all women, our
mothers, sisters, daughters,
and friends. I would like to
express my gratitude to the
women around me, the ones
who I learn from every day.
To every woman in this world,
we are proud of you. We are
proud of your achievements
and accomplishments,
and we are proud of your
ambitions and determination.
Fatima Alhammadi
Emirati Artist
Women are the real
architectures of the society.
You don't need to change
the perception of how people
think of you. Treat yourself the
way you want to be treated.
Work on your inner fulfilment,
happiness and victory. You
are art in every way you are.
Happy Women's Day.
Dina Khataan

Day celebrates the achievements

of how the art scene has

luxury fine art

“I wanted to use
fine art as a way
to give voice to a
movement much
bigger than myself,”
says Kim Rose
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Kim Rose is a minimalist
artist based in Los
Angeles, California. Her
work lies at the intersection
of the physical world
and our intangible perceptions.
She combines old and modern
techniques to create works that are
multi-dimensional and layered in
waves of fluid movement. Each of
her works exudes life and vitality
while keeping a minimalist aesthetic.
Kim's work pushes the boundaries
of realism and questions abstract
lawlessness.
Materials of the highest quality,
some of the rich materials used in
Kim's art include 24k gold, marble,
and, soon, diamonds. Each item is
a multi-layered work that combines
chemical reactions with painting.
Painting is a multi-layer procedure
that gives these artworks a polished
and multifaceted appearance. As a
result, they tend to reflect the warmth
and colors of the room in which they
reside.
Her marbled art has sold and
been collected all over the world.
Her heart and soul are invested not
only in art but also in discovering
the deeper meaning of how art may
benefit the larger good. She believes
that anyone can be an artist and that
every artist must figure out "why" they
do what they do. This is what gives
life meaning and vigor.
She is ecstatic to have
collaborated with artists from
all around the world to make a
difference in the lives of children in
Tijuana, Mexico. Her particular aim
is to raise finances and awareness
for the lovely children of Tijuana,
Mexico, through exquisite art. As a
result, she launched Mission Marisol,
a non-profit organization dedicated
to bringing artists together for a good
cause. The initiative is dedicated to
her mother, Marisol, who encouraged
her to pursue her passions and give
back.
"When I started selling art around
the globe, I realized that my art could
potentially have a huge impact. I
wanted to use fine art as a way to
give voice to a movement much
bigger than myself, and I knew that
it could have an even larger impact
when joined together with other
artists. That is when I came up with
the idea of using fine art as a way of
raising funds and awareness for kids
in Mexico." - Kim Rose.

says Anais
Gonzalez
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Anais Gonzalez describes
herself as an illustrator
who does what she
enjoys. Her work
focuses on portraits,
which frequently are fan art. She
uses strokes to portray feelings and
sensitivities through drawing, more
specifically sketching.
Anais has been drawing since a
very young age. She already had
a fanart group of folks that enjoyed
her work. Her drawings evolved
from realism into sketches once she
found that she could draw quickly
which resulted in an increased fan
base on her social media accounts
where she uploaded her artworks.
She primarily works in black and
white, and graphite, like paper,
is her preferred medium. Even
though occasionally employs color,
she never alters the surface of her
illustrations. Also attempt to help
others as much as possible with this
method via social media.
Her style is light and breezy.
Simultaneously, she works from
realism, but not to the point where it
appears finished. Although enjoys
that look as well, she has evolved
into what she is now. Working with
chiaroscuro and hatching is her
favorite part of the drawing.

happy as possible by first pleasing
myself with my artwork, which is a
challenging undertaking. I'm aware
that I'm still learning, as we all are,
and that I'm too young to know
where I want to go in the world of
art. The only thing I know is that I'm

Impressionist Realism
By Marcos Beccari
36
March 2022
www.magzoid.com

“A realistic painting
is more than just
"true to reality”, it's
also a depiction of
what people desire
to see.” says Marcos
Beccari
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Marcos Beccari
is a watercolor
painter, researcher,
philosopher, and UFPR
design professor
who currently resides and works in
Curitiba, Brazil. Impressionist realism
is regarded as his artistic style.
Beccari uses images to create new
chromatic arrangements to translate
the lighting.
It was until his early twenties that
he became obsessed with painting.
He simply duplicated previous
works, as any beginner would, to
get a flawless execution. As a result,
representation is never innocent,
and realism is never pure. Johannes
Vermeer, Winslow Homer, Walter
Everett, Stanislaw Zoladz, Stephen
Scott Young, and Mary White are his
primary influences.
A realistic painting is more than just
"true to reality," it's also a depiction
of what people desire to see. It is
then necessary to understand the
coordinates that allow them to see
what they want. The more the artwork
is simplified using such coordinates,
the more realistic it gets.
After all, it doesn't matter much
what a face, a ladder, a fabric, or
a vase is in the act of painting;
what counts is how the colors and
hues fill and generate rhythm to
what we perceive. Shapes are not
subordinated to color; rather, color
creates them. The Impressionists
show us that there is no such thing
as a pure visual "truth" that can be

www.magzoid.com

“My portraits are souls full of stories to tell,” says Antonio Murgia
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Antonio Murgia is a wellknown
Italian modern
artist. He was born and
raised in Sardinia, where
he currently resides
and works.
Order and Chaos are the two
fundamental elements of his artistic
output. The bold and contrasting
combinations, the intensity of
color, and the energy of colorful
material are the pieces that make
up Antonio's works. His feminine
portraits like pop mosaics are
passionate and expressive, coming
to life and conversing with the
observer, forming a visual-emotional
relationship.
Antonio's artistic world is filled
with countless women depicted with
anatomical and coloristic mastery;
his muses take on various poses
and are tinged with vivid and bright
colors, evoking elegance, pride,
humanity, emotionality, eroticism, and
sensuality; each of them is the bearer
of a story to be told through the eyes.
An infinite play of colors, material
inserts, extravagant collages,
mirrored and colorful backgrounds
are the perfect setting for the woman
that populate Antonio’s works.
His works are a combination that
generates charm and makes the
viewer vulnerable in front of them.
Simple but incredibly complex,
visually immediate but steeped in
abstruse and profound philosophical
principles, his works are a
combination that generates charm
and makes the viewer vulnerable in
front of them. The viewer is irresistibly
drawn to and engrossed in a neopop
cosmos populated by gorgeous
and interesting women who,
nevertheless, conceal a universe of
synonyms and antonyms, similes
and oxymorons that create a perfect
alchemy between them.

“My soul is in the SEA; my thoughts are in the SKY,” says Marina Kusraeva
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Marina Kusraeva was
born in the Russian city
of Anapa, on the Black
Sea coast. The sea has
always held a special
place in her heart. She spent several
years learning about all the details of
seascape painting and had studied
under famous marine painters of
Russia. Growing up by the sea,
made her realize how to sense it.
Now she knew how to express her
emotions through the canvas. The
sea is like a second home, warm and
inviting. It gives a sense of peace
and hope, as well as happiness and
limitless possibilities.
Every time you look at the Marinas’
artworks, you will feel a connection.
With just one glance you'll be
transported to the shore, watching
the waves pound against the sand
and spray everywhere. It evokes
strong feelings that almost make
you hear the waves crashing on the
shore. Her main painting technique
is to apply thin layers of paint,
creating multilayer pieces of art. This
helps to achieve vividness in her
works. The realism and emotional
immersiveness of her paintings
attract more and more fans around
the world.
A whale swimming through the sky,
making its way through the darkness
towards light, is an uncommon
"Feel the power of
the oceans and the
passing of time. The
oceans have been
around long before
and they will be
around long after”
symbol in Marina's art. The whale
conjures a sense of weightlessness
and a surreal sensation as if such a
massive creature can float through
the sky with such ease. It's a
reassuring picture. We all need to
be free of the constraints we are
currently experiencing. Marina has
been a member of the Russian
Association of Marine Painters since
2019. Her work can be found in
private collections in the United Arab
Emirates and has been exhibited
in the gallery Arts Crossroad in
Zug, Switzerland, and in a personal
exhibition in Osaka, Japan, in
December 2021.

"I am attractive and youthful, alive and full of passion, driven by
emotions and desire to be myself in all my glory," says Noemi Safir
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Noemi Safir is an artist born
in Uruguay who moved
to Israel with her parents
when she was two years
old. Safir decided to
pursue her ambition of becoming
a painter at the age of 40. Women
figures in her large-scale paintings
are a reflection of herself, depicting
episodes from her life that brought
her to where she is now, conveying
power and desire and a wide variety
of emotions.
They represent her effort to
accept Safir's freedom as a woman
and an artist without apologies
or reservations. Safir's painting
style is characterized by picture
fragmentation and a vibrant color
palette. As if to declare, "Yes, I am
attractive and youthful, alive and full
of passion, driven by emotions and
desire to be myself in all my glory,"
her pictures are captivating and
strong.
She eventually quit up and
even took some significant moves
oppositely. She returned to painting
around the age of 40. When she
talked about her art, she became

enthralled and radiated. She didn't
give up this time. She chose to
abandon practically everything she
knew to pursue a long-held goal of
painting.
Today, being able to inspire others
through her art, to make them feel
excited, and to bring happy colors
into their homes and hearts brings
her immense joy and satisfaction.
She believes that her desire to be
seen and understood as she had a
significant impact on her path. She
enjoys painting female figures in
various settings. The majority of the
women are self-portraits that portray
situations from her life that have
led her to where she is now. They
represent her fight to accept her
independence as a woman and an
artist without apology or reservation.
Her lofty goal is to move people's
hearts through her art and story.
Everything she crafts is a reflection
of herself and her long journey of
discovering and understanding who
we truly are.

ARTISTS IN FOCUS
"My artwork
is meant to be
experienced; each piece
transports you and lets
you experience an altered
consciousness of how I see
or feel the world"
Mireille Salti
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Mireille Salti is an abstract
expressionist artist whose
work evolves from the
groundbreaking pouring art
technique. She's developed a oneof-a-kind
method for controlling
chemical reactions across materials
and combining the random
flow of liquid with transitional
brushstrokes. A result is a unique
place that is bright with color
combinations, movement, and her
work's characteristic marks. She is
inspired by nature's patterns and
randomness, as well as personal
experiences of amazement and
surprise. Mireille's art is driven by
the emotional response elicited
when the audience connects with
her piece.
Mireille Salti decided to use
her skills and sense of design to
redirect her efforts totally to the
fine arts after 7 years in the design
business working as an Interior
Architect while painting part-time.
In 2021, her artwork was featured
in Mojen magazine. She had a solo
artist booth at World Art Dubai 2021
for the third year, and her artwork
was published in many publications
and social media channels.
In 2020, her work was published
in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue
Arabia magazines, and she
took part in the "Women in Art"
exhibition in DIFC, in addition
to commissioned work that she
created in collaboration with interior
designers for high-end homes and
flats. She exhibited her work at
Market Outside the Box during DSF
in Dubai in December.
She took part in Art Gap, a
Standard Chartered Bank show that
aimed to raise awareness about
the gender pay gap in the arts. She
also showed her paintings at The
Pointe Palm Jumeirah's "Art After
Dark" event.

In January, the Morrow collective
helped Dubai Culture host its
first NFT art exhibition, featuring 50
works made by artists in the UAE.
Titled 50/50 to mark the UAE’s
Golden Jubilee, the exhibition at Al
Safa Art & Design Library, included
the creations of artists Khalid
Al Banna, Alia Al Gaoud, Dalal
Ahmed, Marwan Shakarchi, and
Gigi Gorlova. The artists were
chosen via an open call, the NFTs

artworks, animation, collages, and
photography.
NFTs burst open onto the art
scene in early 2021 when the
artist Beeple sold his first NFT
artwork at a Christie’s auction for
$69.4 million. An NFT refers to a
digital asset, tied to the blockchain,
that functions as a certification of
ownership. NFTs can take on many
forms, and art is only one of them,
though all types of digital files can
be "minted" as NFTs.
According to a report by The
Guardian newspaper in the UK,
collectors and traders spent $22
billion on NFTs in 2021.

ART JOURNEY
Printmaking
Techniques
The fine art of printmaking is concerned with the production of images by varying methods of
replication onto paper, parchment, fabric, or other supports. The resulting fine prints, while not
original in the sense of a fine art painting or drawing, are considered nevertheless to be works
of art in their own right, even though they exist in multiples. It remains to be seen whether the
latest fine printing techniques alter this assessment.
Printmaking, which encompasses woodcuts, engraving, etching, mezzotint, aquatint, drypoint,
lithography, screen-printing, digital prints, and foil imaging is often a core component of finearts
training courses, and today's printmakers are grounded in most of these print methods.
Techniques
There are four principal methods of printmaking, although there are several variations
within each method.
(1) Relief Printing:
Here the background is cut
down, leaving a raised image
that takes the ink. Materials
used in relief printing are usually
wood and linoleum. To make a
relief print, the raised area of the
wood or lino is inked and paper
is pressed onto it to receive the
inked impression. Relief printing
is used for woodcut, woodblock,
engraving, linocut, and metal
cut.
58
March 2022
www.magzoid.com

(2) Intaglio Printing:
In this process, a metal plate is
used, and the selected image
is either engraved into the metal
with a tool known as a 'burin',
or the plate is coated with a
waxy acid-resistant substance
called 'ground' upon which the
design is drawn with a metal
needle. The plate is then soaked
in acid which eats into the
areas exposed by the drawing
to produce an image. Intaglio
is used for engraving, etching,
mezzotint, aquatint, chine-collé,
and drypoint. Intaglio uses the
opposite process to woodcuts,
in that the raised portions
remain blank while the grooves
or crevices are inked.
(3) Planographic:
In this process, the entire matrix
surface is involved, but some
areas are treated to retain
the ink. The best example is
lithography, during which the
design is drawn onto the matrix
with a greasy crayon. Ink is then
applied to the whole surface
but adheres only to the grease
marks of the drawing. The plane
graphic technique is also used
for mono typing, digital prints,
screen printing, and pochoir.
(4) Stencilling:
It is a special variant of
printmaking and it involves
carving the design out of thin
material and then printing the
design by rubbing or spraying
paint around the spaces that
are cut out. This method is
extremely popular in the world
of street art as stencils are one
of the most popular techniques
urban interventionists tend to
use.

ART FACTS
The owner
of the Café de la
Rotonde in Paris would
allow starving artists to pay
for their drinks with a painting
or drawing. In the 1900s the
walls of the cafe would have
been casually adorned with
works now considered
priceless.
In Japan, some
have the status of
the Living National Treasures
of Japan. They are individuals
and groups certified by the
government, who are masters
of a traditional art or craft that
is in danger of being lost. As a
reward, they receive a small
amount of money from the
government annually.
A museum
says they gave
an artist $84,000 in
cash to use in artwork.
He delivered blank
canvases and titled them
“Take the Money and
Run.”
James
Franco once
created an invisible
sculpture called ‘Fresh Air’. It
was described as an endless
supply of oxygen. Someone
actually bought the
‘sculpture’ for $10,000.

ART FACTS
Michelangelo
hid under the Medici
Chapel in Florence for
3 months during a period of
political turmoil, occupying his
time by sketching on the walls
with charcoal. His whereabouts
were a secret for almost 500
years until the museum
director stumbled upon
the drawings in
1976.
The painting
“The Scream” was
painted with a red sky
accurately depicting the
Norwegian sky at the time
caused by the eruption of
the Krakatoa volcano
in Indonesia.
After
two children
carelessly destroyed
a sculpture called “Angel
is waiting”, while their
parents filmed them, the artist
renamed it “Broken” and left
it on display with a video
monitor showing footage
of the incident.

the architectural image of
China’s capital city.
The facade of the leaning

several spaces inside the
building were opened to host
televised events.
The tallest CCTV tower is
234m high with a floor area
of 465,000m² and consists
of a series of horizontal

BRAND LOGOS
HUAWEI is one of the leaders in
telecommunications and mobile
phone manufacturing. It is located
in the city of Shenzhen (China).
The company was formed in 1987,
and was created by Ren Zhengfei,
a former engineer of the Chinese
People’s Liberation Army.
HUAWEI featured in their logo the
meaning of one of the hieroglyphs
that formed the word “HUAWEI”,
in Chinese and the translation of it
means “flower”.
The HUAWEI logo shows the
principles that the company has
been a customer-focus provider
that is always searching for
innovation and bringing harmony to
HUAWEI, their sincere commitment
is to help their customers. The logo
reflects the principles that will guide
the company ahead.
The earliest logo contained some of
the elements that have been used
on the following versions too; the
multiple petals, the red color, and
the upward movement (similarity
with the rising sun).
By 2006, the brand consultancy
Interbrand, helped to modify the
emblem. The petals grew wider
and adopted a sharper angle,
while the number of the flower
petal grew smaller. A 3D effect
was introduced, while the similarity
with the rising sun grew even more
perceptible.
Another update took place before
the launch of the P20 and P20 Pro
smartphones in the spring of 2018.
The shape of the “flower” stayed
essentially the same, while the
color was slightly modified.
During the first 30 years of its
history, the HUAWEI logo featured
a bright shade of red, which was
replaced by a cooler and slightly
darker one in 2018.
The new logo has a more modern
look due to its graduated tone and
symmetry. It looks more natural and
better compatible and it acts as
a metaphor for HUAWEI’s openminded
attitude and partnership
strategy showing that the company
is going to maintain healthy growth
together with the HUAWEI logo.
