ABB Robotics unveils the world’s first
robot-painted art automobile
The incredibly complicated
artworks were completed
in less than 30 minutes
by ABB’s IRB 5500
paint robots, which were
equipped with 1,000 nozzles in the
printer head.
ABB Robotics has created
the world’s first robot-painted art
automobile in collaboration with
two renowned painters, Advait
Kolarkar, an eight-year-old Indian
child prodigy, and Illusory, a Dubaibased
digital design group. Without
the use of humans, ABB’s Pixel Paint
technology has recreated Advait’s
whirling monochromatic design as
well as Illusorr’s tri-color geometric
designs.
The incredibly complicated
artworks were completed in less than
30 minutes by ABB’s IRB 5500 paint
robots, which were equipped with
1,000 nozzles in the printer head.
Pixel Paint technology captures
complex, elaborate detail that would
be impossible to produce by hand
with precision and speed.
“ABB’s Pixel Paint technology
is more than an evolution – it is
It’s a bright illustration of how robotic automation
and our Robot Studio software can not only open
the way for more sustainable production, but also
recreate delicate works of art that reflect the
uniqueness and beauty of the human soul.
a revolution,” said Sami Atiya,
President of ABB’s Robotics &
Discrete Automation business unit.
It’s a bright illustration of how robotic
automation and our Robot Studio
software can not only open the way
for more sustainable production,
but also recreate delicate works of
art that reflect the uniqueness and
beauty of the human soul. Pixel
Paint is a game-changer, allowing
any design to be recreated in a
sustainable and inexpensive manner
at a time when consumers seek more
individualized items.”
Pixel Paint technology also
improves industrial sustainability by
eliminating the need for masking
materials and additional ventilation,
resulting in lower emissions and
water and energy savings. The paint
head is controlled by the company’s
Robot Studio software.
The product is only run through
the paint shop once, and different
paint colors are applied fast. For
automakers, this can cut production
time in half and save costs by up to
60%.
ABB restored a Volkswagen SUV
that was damaged in Germany’s
disastrous floods in the summer
of 2021 to produce the art car.
Its recycling demonstrates ABB’s
dedication to environmental
sustainability.

Meet James Cook, the typewriter artist
that gained Hollywood approval
An artist who used a
typewriter to create a
portrait of Tom Hanks
said he was "blown away"
when the actor signed the
artwork.
James Cook, 25, from Braintree,
Essex, sent Hanks a portrait but
admitted he "forgot about it" until
he received an unexpected letter
in the post. He previously said a
reply from one of the world's most
famous typewriter enthusiasts was an
ambition.
The handwritten message reads:
"To James Cook. This is super! Tom
Hanks." Mr Cook, who started to use
typography to design art while doing
his A-levels, creates his artworks
from thousands of typed characters.
His "typicitions", or typeddepictions,
use a random assortment
of letters, numbers and punctuation
marks to form an image. Oscarwinning
actor Hanks, reportedly
owns more than 120 typewriters.
The artist said he thought he
would send a portrait to the actor's
Playtone Productions Company after
he produced it while appearing on
"I thought I'd give it a shot and sent him the print of
his portrait with a type-written letter explaining my
profession, but after that I completely forgot about
it," Mr Cook said.
the Kelly Clarkson Show in the US in
November 2020.
"I thought I'd give it a shot and
sent him the print of his portrait with
a type-written letter explaining my
profession, but after that I completely
forgot about it," Mr Cook said.
"I was blown away when I got my
print returned with his autograph and
a short message." Despite producing
art since 2014, Mr Cook's first work
consisted predominantly of celebrity
portraits and drawings of the cast of
the BBC series Doctor Who, and it
was not until January 2020 that he
began to get noticed.
The architecture graduate has
since gained more than 20,000
followers on Instagram and has
produced 200 pictures of celebrities,
landscapes and musicians. He now
creates his unusual artworks as a fulltime
job at his east London studio,
where visitors can also see his
collection of about 40 typewriters.
On average, one A4 work of art
can take up to five days to complete
and the larger pieces are formed
of smaller strips of paper pieced
together. His next exhibition is at The
Moot Hall in Maldon, Essex, in July
and August and will include a portrait
of the Queen alongside the artwork
signed by Hanks.
"What's really nice about this job
is that it's not just the work that's
interesting, but also the backstories
behind the people that have a
connection to typewriters," Mr Cook
said.

COVER ARTIST
Wild Art
By Irina Kukrusova
“I always read books about animals, I wanted to live in harmony
with and always be close to the animal world.” Says Irina
Exclusive to Magzoid
Kukrusova Irina
Sergeyevna. An artist
whose main interest is in
depicting animals. She
works with water colours
and soft pastels.
Irina did not train to become a
professional artist. Her profession
was an engineer of industrial
buildings and structures. She had
worked as a civil engineer for many
years. But her love for animals and
fine arts has gradually evolved into a
profession.
She paints portraits of dogs and
cats, including those for professional
experts in the field of cynology as
well as for well-known breeders. Her
works are in many countries of the
world.
The main material she uses is soft
pastels because mastery of water
colors eluded her for some time.
Working with oils at home, in the
absence of a dedicated studio, is
impractical and so she took up soft
pastels.
“All that you see is my own
technique of depicting animals.
I have never taken courses for
painting with soft pastels. I attended
numerous master classes and
tutorials which allowed me to tame
water colors and begin to work in my
own authentic style and manner”
The distinguishing feature of
portraits drawn by Ira Kukrusova is in
capturing the exact likeness. Every
time she paints it is not merely an
abstract representation of a breed,
not just a generic tiger or any other
cat. Ira conveys the personality and

character with stunning realism, the
animals really come alive.
“Drawing animals to me means the
opportunity to show all those who
inspire me and those I feel close to.
As a child I wanted to become a vet.
I always read books about animals,
I wanted to live in harmony with
and always be close to the animal
world” But the artist felt it was next to
impossible for her. “Combining this
love for the animals and my ability to
paint has resulted in what you can
see in my artwork” says Irina
She also says that “I would love to
be able to actually paint animals into
being, so that I could save all those
who are on the verge of extinction. If
my work makes at least one person
on the planet think about the future
of our planet, it makes everything
worthwhile.
When I paint commission portraits
for other people, we keep their
memories alive. I help them to keep
their beautiful memories about the
moments they spent with their pets.
Perhaps, this is exactly where the
magic of fine arts is. When I teach
other people who paint along with
me, I try to convey my knowledge of
animals, not just anatomy or photo
realism but capturing the character
so that my students can paint a true
likeness” ​

SPECIAL DAYS
World Music Day
World Music Day is

The art of music holds a
different power in itself

It’s hard to imagine the
world without music.
The French term
“Fete de la Musique”
means Music Day in
English. In 1981, The
French Minister of Culture
Jack Lang came up with the
idea of celebrating music. As a
result, since 1982 in France, June
21 is celebrated as the Music
Day with live music on the streets,
shops, and roads on the mountain

A French composer, music

and clear, “Make Music” and over
130 countries participate in World
Music Day globally. Music relates
to a person’s emotions and acts
as a solace. Music can also calm
people’s uncontrollable emotions
such as anger or sadness. Music
helps in releasing the stress in life,
it gives essence to life. This day
also helps in giving the limelight to
traditional music.
Music is so powerful and soothing
that, one doesn’t need to know the
language to vibe with the tone.
Music has a way of slithering into
people’s lives no matter how busy
someone is and that is considered
as one of its best qualities. The
best way to celebrate this day is by
listening to music and appreciating
the artists behind it.

Pencil Art
By Felipe Tenorio

“Since I was a child, I have been a great admirer of the Spanish art”
says Felipe
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Felipe Tenorio is a selftaught
pencil artist from
Spain. He has loved to
draw since he was a boy,
but he never imagined he
would be able to devote himself to
it, so he developed other interests
over time. He was compelled to
take up a pencil and start drawing
one day in 2018. He's been posting
his drawings on social media since
then. He is currently based in
Madrid and works there.
His artistic technique is known as
hyperrealism and is characterized
by its extreme precision and
attention to detail. “I am fascinated
by the fact that such a simple
instrument as a pencil can create
such exceptional artworks” says
Felipe. All of his drawings are made
with graphite and charcoal pencils
on 100% recycled paper. What
fascinates Felipe the most, is that
with such a humble instrument as a
pencil he can create such defined
tones, details and textures that
each drawing seems to come alive.
“Since I was a child, I have
been a great admirer of the
Spanish artist” says Felipe. The
artist currently lives and works
in Madrid. Felipe Tenorio also
earned first prize for drawing in
the European Museum of Modern
Art's ModPortrait 2021 international
competition (MEAM).
Felipe says that he notices that
when he draws he usually look for
shapes in the drawing and even
gives these shapes and shadows
funny names like “oh this looks like
a bird...or this shape looks like a
crocodile with an open mouth”. It’s
like seeing shapes in the clouds or
in your morning coffee.

Environment Day
UN Environment
Programme (UNEP)
has led the world
environment day since
1974. This 2022, the
World Environment Day is to be held
in Sweden under the theme “Only
One Earth”.
The main motto of this day is to
make the world greener, cooler,
cleaner, and more liveable. The
need to live in midst of nature is
crucial and this day focuses on
emphasizing to understand the
importance of our environment. It
tells us about the greener lifestyle
that can be built based on the
choices of every individual.
In 1972, at the Stockholm
conference, “Only One Earth” was
coined as the motto to safeguard
the finite resources of this planet by
humanity and this motto has been in
existence since the last 50 years.
"Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign
of approval. When a man is happy,
he is in harmony with himself and
his environment”. -Oscar Wilde

The official celebration of the
world environment day takes place
in different countries every year.
This year, a high-level international
meeting is being organized at

World Environment Day was
established to make people
aware of the problems that were
going on around us. Problems like
global warming, plastic pollution,
deforestation, greenhouse gases,
and many other. The main purpose
of celebrating this day is to make
people aware of how together they
can work on making things better.
This was first brought up by
United Nations General Assembly
in 1973. It started to come in front
of the people of the UN because of

No mask required: A new art exhibition
in Dubai examines how the human face is depicted
The XVA Gallery in Dubai

exhibition, which will feature the work
of ten artists from Canada, Europe,

how the human face is depicted, a
pertinent topic considering the global
need for face masks due to the
pandemic.
With our faces at the center of
conceptions of identity and self, from
our daily reflections in the mirror to
the desire for immortality through
paintings — and, more recently,
selfies — this new exhibition seeks to
redefine what defines a picture in the
current era.
The show features noted Iraqi artist

blurred photographic portraits raise
doubts about the identity of the

Giuseppe Barbale
was born in Novara,
where he still lives
and has his studio.
During his childhood
he was fascinated by the iron
sculptures created by his father,
and soon began to experiment
with this technique himself. In
the following years, attracted by
street art, he began to paint, using
different materials and media, in the
continuous search to express his
creativity, until in 2014 he found in
abstract painting his language of
choice.
He has exhibited in numerous
exhibitions both in Italy and
abroad; in 2019 in Mantua on
the occasion of the International
Biennial “Artexpo 2019”, in Paris
at the Carrousel du Louvre for
the international exhibition “Art

“Finissage”, in 2021 at Yudian

“Galleria Angelica” in the event
“Contemporary Art International
Festival”.
His works are present in the
collection of the Copelouzos
Museum in Athens and in several
private collections abroad, from the
United States to China. Giuseppe
Barbale’s works are born from
instinct, from creative freedom and
from what the artist defines as “an
artistic trance”, which allows him to
channel his emotions and transfer
them on the canvas.
For this reason he paints with
acrylic on canvas, a technique
that allows tight execution times
and therefore the possibility to
make emotions immediately visible
through the material, the signs and
the color. “The works are pervaded
by energy and strength, rendered
through the spatula technique,
with an intense chromatic range”
says Guiseppe, where yellow and
red predominate, together with
shades of orange and blue, which
distinguish his artistic language.
The layers of color are often
intertwined with black strokes,
which run through the paintings
creating a particular dynamism.
Sometimes veils of lighter
shades are superimposed on his
variegated world and seem to want
to curb the different drives.

“Art can make us
see the world in a
new and eye-opening
way” says Marina
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Marina Chisty is a
Russian-American artist
who currently lives
and works in NYC. Her
abstract and figurative
paintings embody the dynamism
and multiple faces of the city, trying
to grasp their distinctive differences
and substantial equality as human
beings.
“Art can make us see the world in
a new and eye-opening way” says
Marina. Marina approached art from
a very young age, fostering her talent
in children's art school in Russia.
Her Russian roots are relevant in the
development of her creative identity,
bringing her closer to abstraction
and the symbolic use of color.
Throughout her studies, Marina
reflected that art was her true
purpose and continued to hone
her expertise. An undergraduate
education in Russia, combined with
an MA in Economics in the U.S.,
helped her to question the practical
aim of her art: she strives to make
an aesthetic but also concrete
impact, giving humanitarian support
especially to women in need.
Marina Chisty’s interest in painting
women, regardless of ethnicity or
physical features, derives from her
special connection with the feminine
world and concern for women’s
rights. As an artist, she wants to
create opportunities to support
women who are underrepresented
not only in the art system but also in
the broader sphere of business.
“Art can be the mirror to see all
our failings and strengths. It can
be a symbol for hope. A harsh
truth of despair. Art has the power
to shift culture” Says Marina.
One of her most important goals
is to reach young women who
reside in geographic areas with
socioeconomic disadvantages,
engaging them in art projects.
Her portraits represent very
different women, characterized by
peculiar backgrounds and varied
circumstances. However, Marina
Chisty's art practice challenges
racial, socio-economic, and physical
barriers, emphasizing the common
need for equal perspective and
mutual support.
“Art can be the mirror
to see all our failings
and strengths. It can
be a symbol for hope. A
harsh truth of despair.
Art has the power to
shift culture” Says
Marina.
Since 2017, Marina has dedicated
herself to refining her artistic practice
at the reputable Art Students League
of New York and under private
tutelage in both the US and Russia.
She now works from her studio in
NYC, constantly experimenting with
new techniques and media. Marina
Chisty’s identity as an artist is always
widening her horizons, using art as
an authentic tool to personally evolve
and support other women. ​

Maisoon Al Rubeai
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Maisoon Al-Rubeai was born
in Baghdad in 1965. She
completed a BEng of
Architectural Engineering. In UK,
she re-trained as a secondary
school teacher for Mathematics. It
was only after her early retirement
that she rediscovered her passion
in painting. She went on to produce
many pieces that quickly attracted
the attention of her friends and
family. Before long, this self-taught
artist began selling their work on
the internet to customers all over
the world.
“The depiction of Arab women
plays a pivotal part in art. Artists
find it easy to carry their message
through their depiction of the Arab
women” Says Maisoon
Her artwork is rooted in her Iraqi
heritage and takes inspiration
from famous artists such as Isam
Alsaeed. Her abstract pieces
evoke images of old Baghdad, the
faces of its people all seamlessly
intertwined with the Kufic
calligraphy that envelopes the walls
of so many mosques and palaces
of that region. There are hints of
nostalgia in her pieces, borne out
with modernist brushwork, creating
a special appeal for those who
yearn for the land between the two
rivers.
From an Architect to an
International Artist, she paints
Iraqi women specifically and Arab
women in general. The artist uses
traditional and cultural references
which add a rural touch and she
also paints women in an urban
environment. Ultimately, Maisoon
reflects themes such as nostalgia,
care, family, homeland, passion
and love in her paintings.

Father’s Day from an Artist’s view
FATHER'S DAY
Khalil AbdulWahid
A father is a gift and reminder to
the family and society that there
is someone value who is there to
support us in every aspect and
watching our backs with love. As for
me, a father should be celebrated
not just on Father’s Day but whole
year because it is important to
value those who value us. Every
father deserves a lot of love and
appreciation and I am very grateful
for the love and appreciation I have
received so far.
Nassim Nasr
A few days ago, my 5-yearold
daughter asked me if I was
the strongest man in the world.
Obviously, I’m not, but that didn’t
stop me from telling her that I was
without a doubt not only the strongest
man in the world but the strongest
man in the universe. It felt good for
a second to be Superman, and the
smile on her face was worth it. When
I asked myself why I instinctively told
her that, I realized that it wasn’t to
impress my daughter but to reassure
her that I would always protect her
and that nothing in the world could
ever harm her.
Maged Makram Sheroubi
Father is the balance in the family's
life, balance in the life is leads you
to inner peace which will leads you
to connect with secret of life and
sixth sense, to choose between
right and wrong, love yourself
first, Go to Meditation, Go Back to
Nature, walking through a garden,
and seeing beautiful flowers, listen
to birds chirping, listen to the purl,
watching sky when hug the sea,
meditate on the sunset, can make us
reconnect with ourselves.
Anjini Prakash Laitu
In my youth being a father to my son
Ishan and to his wife Nikki (who is
now my daughter), was a matter of
great pride and pleasure. Today in
my eighties I am everyone’s Baba.
Wherever I go in the UAE, I am
treated with immense love and care
by all the youngsters. The respect
and compassion with which they look
up to me, as a fatherly figure, fills my
heart with joy. As an older father I am
humbled by the love of so many sons
and daughters I meet every day.
Christo Dagorav
Being father is the biggest honor and
pleasure I can imagine, and there is
nothing more important for me than
my family. Ofcourse, it's not always
easy but since I love challenges, I do
not expect anything else. However,
we try to celebrate our living together
every day.
Jyo John Mulloor
Being a father is a role that you
plunge into most unprepared.
How much ever you prepare, you
will never be able to meet your
own expectations. I have always
wondered why there are no prep
classes for becoming a good
father. This is a role that demands
relentless patience and unmatched
graciousness. Let the world have
better fathers with every passing
generation. Happy Father's Day
everyone!

ARTIST STORIES
Portraits
By Jugal Sarkar

June 2022
www.magzoid.com

“My love for
painting started
from early childhood
days, when I saw my
uncle’s notebook”
says Jugal
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Creative people always
find a way to shape up
their imagination. This
does not always require
a formal training, rather
the aspiration to learn and prepare
on major goals like fulfilling one’s
passion. A live example of the above
lines is the well-known young art
portrait artist
“My love for painting started from
early childhood days, when I saw
my uncle’s notebook” says Jugal.
Expressing complex emotion in the
human face is the subject for Jugal
Sarkar’s painting. Growing up in
the northern part of West Bengal,
Mr. Sarkar has developed a close
kinship with the natural world and
its connection with the indigenous
people. That kinship is the basis for
the portraits he paints.
The Kolkata-based artist works in
acrylic, watercolor, and oil-medium
with a bold color palette and fluid
style to give his portraits a presence
that captures the character of the
person. Several original works of the
artist are in possession of private
collectors from various parts of the
world. Jugal is now open accepting
commissioned work for custom
portraits.
“Success is when people become
happy to see their portraits or after
buying a portrait from the artist’s
collection” Says Jugal. During the
Covid pandemic, when schools
and colleges started online classes,
Jugal took tutoring to a new level of
success, where he started online
painting classes. Apart from taking
regular classes, he is also engaged
in monthly workshops. Each
workshop is different from the other in
terms of medium, language and the
context.
According to his fan followers
on social media, he excels in his
previous works every day. Each
“Success is when
people become happy
to see their portraits
or after buying a
portrait from the
artist’s collection”
Says Jugal
portrait is lively and amazing. He
is equally skilled in both color
painting and pencil sketches. He
uses oil, water and acrylic mediums
for painting. However, his pencil
sketches using graphite pencils as
well as charcoal excel in their own
way. ​

ART EVENTS
Art Exhibitions
and Events to look out for
Daydreams
Pakistani artist Fahd Burki's first major solo exhibition expands
the artist's formal lexicon to a series of new relief works that
refer to processes of subtraction, returning geometric blocs
to their basic forms to highlight their material nature. Painted
and sculpted works made over the last 15 years narrate
a visual practice patterned by symmetry, repetition, and
symbolism, as with early figurations like the cedar and perspex
sculpture Optimist (2012), where satire and reverence appear
in the same wooden figure propped on a pair of crutches;
shown alongside later grid abstractions.
Date: Until October 9
Location: Jameel Arts Centre, Jaddaf Waterfront

The project is intended to play an integral role

to the city center, the site plays a pivotal role in
the redevelopment of Baku.
The Heydar Aliyev Center represents a fluid
form which emerges by the folding of the
landscape's natural topography and by the
wrapping of individual functions of the Center.
All functions of the Center, together with
entrances, are represented by folds in a single
continuous surface. This fluid form gives an

BRAND LOGOS
OMEGA
Omega SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Biel/
Bienne Switzerland. Founded by Louis Brandt in
La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848, the company formally
operated as La Generale Watch Co. until incorporating the
name Omega in 1903, becoming Louis Brandt et Frère-Omega
Watch & Co. In 1984, the company officially changed its name
to Omega SA, which is currently a subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch
Group. Omega opened its museum to the public in Biel/Bienne in
January 1984.
Britain's Royal Flying Corps used Omega watches in 1917 for
its combat units, as did the U.S. Army in 1918. Omega watches
were the choice of NASA in 1969 for the Apollo 11 Mission. In
addition, Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic
Games since 1932. Omega is currently the timekeeper of
the America’s Cup yacht race and a main partner of the 2022
Winter Olympics.
The forerunner of Omega, La Generale Watch Co., was
founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by Louis
Brandt, who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches
from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He sold his watches from
Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. In 1894,
his two sons Louis-Paul and César developed a revolutionary
in-house manufacturing and total production control system
that allowed component parts to be interchangeable. Watches
developed with these techniques were marketed under the
Omega brand of La Generale Watch Co. By 1903 the success of
the Omega brand led the La Generale Watch Co to spin off the
Omega brand as its own company, and the Omega Watch Co
was officially founded in 1903.
