BOOMER MAGAZINE | 4TH EDITION | ART FOR REAL! 

What is art? Where is it heading? 

Is art still in the hands of artists and art dealers or it has become a tool for the crypto speculators? 

The world is changing, everything becomes more virtual including art and in the process a lot of speculators 

are trying to twist things in their own interest like in the case of NFT. 

The crypto speculators are trying to make this the new “COOL” but what is so cool about it? 

Art is food for our souls, If they want this to be the new truth then they should start doing everything virtually, 

for example start eating virtual food or maybe get drunk with virtual alcohol, if they do this then by all 

means we will start to believe in their vision. 

As for us- galleries, artists, collectors… should we let hundreds of years of artistic refinement in the hands of 

the crypto speculators that don’t even know the difference between renaissance and contemporary? 

What about the painters, photographers, print makers, sculptors, performers and all the other artists who 

create real work, work that we can touch, smell, feel… should we give up on them for the sake of a speculative 

game? 

No thanks!!! 

NFT should be embraced as a new medium/tool like we always did along the way with a lot of other things 

but it shouldn’t be allowed to take over! 

If it does take over then an entire generation of artists and their works will vanish in thin air making way for 

the crypto speculators and their pyramid. 

Should we allow this to happen on our watch? 

The aim of this publication is to promote real art made by real artists! 

“All colours will agree in the dark”

Thomas Oscar Miles 

My art looks to inspire self empowerment, through embracing 

our vulnerabilities. This is celebrated through fragile and 

detailed imagery, centred around the narratives. In my work, 

I talk about personal fears and darker experiences. I give my 

characters opportunities to wear these like a crown. How can 

we appreciate our light when we brush the darkness under the 

bed, ignored? I hope that my work can show people how multi-layered 

each one of us is, showing a unity in our humanity. 

I talk in my work about personal experiences such as mental 

health and my ever-growing relationship with my autism. I 

choose to represent these in my work through visuals such as 

decay, bones, and shadow filled corners of a woodland. My 

new series ‘Our Beautiful Demise’ speaks on a similar theme: 

wearing our fears with pride, binding them tightly to our flesh. 

I have grown up fearful of my personal shadows, I now instead 

hope to educate others on this and create a platform to spotlight 

issues we all go through.

Gerhard Petzl 

Born 1973, in Austria, lives & works in Vevey, Switzerland and 

Kalsdorf/Graz, Austria. 

A visual artist who works with bronze, stone, wood, mixed 

media, chocolate and does not limit himself to any medium, 

technique and shape. The exploration is the journey, which 

brings him into unexplored areas and self-discoveries. He sails 

between 2D-visuals the classical way of drawings on paper or 

digital, 3D-sculptures and ends up often even in the field of 

Science. Pioneer of “Chocolate crystals art - naturally grown 

design”. Publisher of 3 chocolate art books. Received numerous 

gold medals, over 21 awards and over 250+ publications 

around the globe. NFT’s are for softies, sculpting is the real 

deal, either in bronze or in chocolate, even though chocolate 

also gets soft easily...;)

Gisseline Amiuny 

Gisseline was born in Caracas, Venezuela. She studied architecture 

for two years, and made some works of art, design and 

decoration, including jewelry design. 

His most recent stage begins in 2010, where he begins his 

research work on geometric and kinetic art, the relationship of 

the works with natural light being very important and mostly 

with the use of RGB LED lighting, using programmed electronic 

controls and specifically developed by the artist, to have precise 

control of colors and sequences. 

She describes her work: “I can express myself as an artist 

through lines, curves and geometric shapes. I get inspired 

when I experiment with light, shadows and reflections that 

produce geometric shapes interacting with materials”. 

The artist created her own artistic language within the field 

of kineticism, for which her work was included within the 

Neo-Kineticism current, during her participation in “Lumiere et 

Mouvement”, Denise René-Rive Espace Marais Gallery, Paris, 

France, 2016.

Veronika Sekotová 

@veronika_sekotova 

“I shut my eyes in order to see” 

The author of this wisdom is one of my favourite artists, the 

French painter Paul Gauguin. I have yet to discover a more brilliant 

one. Art has been part of life since prehistoric times and, 

with me, since my early childhood. I discovered the beauty and 

power of art, especially fine art, from a very early age. 

When I was at high school, I fell in love with art history, which I 

decided to combine with studying tourism. 

Thanks to work and having a family, art soon turned into an 

occasional hobby. Now art is firmly back in my life as a means 

to express myself and relax. I am constantly trying to develop a 

relationship with visual art and the whole field of visual culture, 

so I can perceive the beauty of nature and the aesthetic values 

in what is happening around us. As I believe that a creative 

outlook enriches our lives immensely, my aim is to promote 

creativity not only in the field of fine arts but also in my entire 

way of thinking. Painting is my joy, pleasure, relaxation and 

helps me express my feelings. I like to try new techniques, 

but mostly I work with acrylic paints on canvas. I don’t have a 

favourite style, because I find “my thing” ...

Aaron Santos Boyd-Rochman 

I am almost entirely self-taught except for a few public school 

art classes and art institutions in adolescence. My work is an 

exploration and coalescing of who I am as an artist and as a 

person. Learning to be comfortable with uncertainty is my goal 

both as an artist and as a human moving through this world. 

I love the multiple dualities my work evokes:stillness and 

movement, structure and entropy, order and chaos, solace 

and uncertainty, natural objects created from human-made 

ones. My creative process leads to the organic forms my work 

evokes. I use discarded and overlooked objects and transform 

them into something beautiful, unexpected, and fun - I make 

art stuff from other stuff.

Davide Sannino 

@davidethepainter 

Born in Peschiera del Garda (Verona) – Italy - on July 12, 1968. 

Died in June 2020. 

Art has always been with him since his childhood and released 

during the hardest time of his life. 

As a child, while recovering from a serious illness he started 

drawing using a pencil or a charcoal and, after having emerged 

victorious from this battle, he expressed his Hymn to Life also 

through canvas and colors. 

His style, typically figurative, is represented in modern paintings 

made in acrylic to give emphasis and vitality to the subjects. 

Sometimes his creations differ completely from reality, 

with a peculiar and highly imaginative view, special prospective 

and colored effects perceptible in the pursuit of lights and 

shadow contrasts. 

He always proposes to the public a new vision of his paintings 

facing innovative and multi-faceted/stylized compositions. 

This will make him immortal through the amazement in the 

eyes of people watching and appreciating his paintings looking 

at images conveying strength and intensity of the lines, sensitivity 

and charm of the subjects, happiness of colors.

Bella Nunn 

Bella Nunn is a British contemporary textiles designer. Living in 

Norfolk, she specialises in weave and sustainable textiles. The 

qualities of natural fibres inspire her honest weaves, influenced 

by seasonal landscapes and uplifting tones. Her practice 

conveys the charm in imperfections and the responsibility to 

campaign for biodegradable materials. Natural materials and 

traditional hand-weaving techniques are brought together in 

her contemporary designs and evoke tactility in the nature of 

each thread. From graduating from Norwich University of the 

Arts, she now works on an old wooden loom, innovating dyes 

and sourcing uniquely spun fibres. The connections between 

the land and our lives can be sensed through a visual language 

of storytelling and placemaking. Her self-initiated projects 

hope to raise awareness for the environmental devastations in 

the textile industry and realise the potential to minimise waste 

through a soil-to-soil practice.

Julien Perreault 

Julien Perreault grew up in Quebec, Canada. He taught 

himself to paint, lulled by the artistic influences of painter 

and photographer Céline Côté, and percussionist, composer, 

and improviser Danielle Palardy Roger. He was fascinated 

by Quebec’s famed Automatiste movement, the Canadian 

Arctic, and the resonance of industrial architecture in the work 

of Marc Gosselin. Perreault has always been drawn to the 

natural world. After years spent studying arts and literature, 

he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Naval Combat 

Information Operator. His military service had a profound 

influence on his artistic career. His work has received international 

acclaim. Most notably, he won a silver medal at the 51st 

CAPSQ International Exhibition and Contest in Paris. His most 

recent statement is the series “Into the Woods”, a reflection on 

wildfires and climate changes.

Marek Zgodka 

@abstractblue1 

I’m an abstract expressionist painter, with great sensitivity, 

who creates works by bending reality and sometimes even 

touching on irrationality. On canvas, I expresses my subjective 

point of view of things, people and the world. 

My motto ‘Everything that is not obvious is exciting’. 

I use colour and form to express a taste of a moment and 

feelings . 

I’m self-taught artist I lived in London for almost 30 years .I 

owe my experience and love for painting to my mother, Anna, 

artist and painter. Enchanted by my mothers world of exhibitions 

and painting, it was thanks to her that I developed 

my passion for fine arts. In late 90 I was more in to the music 

creation , Than only in around 2004 I felt more towards Fine 

art and decided to switch directions . 

I believe I have an increased sensitivity to emotional or social 

stimuli , all is related deeper in Quantum states within , I believe 

we can translate Quantum process and receive information’s 

, Through perceptive -conscious state of mind and 

combine those to get the right outcome , 

For me that translation is Colour and form on my Canvas.

Denisa Berglova (Denisa Bergl) 

I fulfilled my dream of starting to take photos at the end of 

2016, when I started learning with my first SLR camera. I wanted 

to show the beauty of a loved friend who did not believe 

it at the time. The beauty that comes from each of us without 

even realizing it. That is why it is essential for me to show the 

beauty of the photographed person in the most natural form 

and in perfect daylight.

Courtney MacIsaac 

Courtney MacIsaac is a contemporary artist born in Ontario, 

Canada. She was accepted and graduated from art school, apprenticed 

under an established artist which helped her sharpen 

her skills in graphite, ink, and oil painting. 

While working tirelessly to hone her technique, her emotionally 

charged paintings have been the subject to group exhibitions 

throughout Canada, United States, the UK and Europe. 

She is inspired by artists such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio 

for realism in their art, Dali for illusion, dream, and imagination, 

and Banksy for pointing out the absurdity in the world. 

Her art relates to the constant battle that hinders us from making 

decisions, the feelings of conflict captured into fear, anger, 

confusion, and loneliness. 

Courtney is able to translate her experiences through her realistic 

paintings by using elements of art and principles of design 

to create feeling, emotion, and to challenge the viewer.

Katsiaryna Kalashnikava 

Artist from Minsk. Participant of exhibitions and open call in 

England, Switzerland, Italy. 

She has learned to paint on her own. 

She paints in her signature style, using classic paintbrushes and 

palette knives. 

The basis of her work can be called the desire to express her 

feelings on canvas. 

With the help of color and shape she conveys subtle and 

invisible connections that appear in the first sketches and are 

already fully revealed in the finished work. 

“Dreams give us the ability to go beyond the limits of our own 

consciousness. The beauty of nature is a source of emotions 

that gives inspiration and becomes the basis for creative ideas, 

unity and harmony.”

@helga.sherr 

I am Olga Shermachkova (Helga Sherr) 

I am from Russia and I am an experimenter watercolor artist. 

I have two art degrees and I am the winner of many art competitions. 

My story began 5 years ago. When my daughter bought a 

ferry ticket for 0.06$. I didn’t believe that it can be possible, 

but something forced me to join this adventure. Well, it was 

the first time when I saw Norway and Denmark. And it was an 

amazing experience. New culture, new places, new thoughts. 

The beauty of this world inspired me to visit a lot of new 

countries. So I visited 20 countries in only 5 years. And every 

new place left an indelible mark in my memory and my life 

turned upside down. Since then I understood that I want to 

share these wonderful moments with people and so I started 

to paint. 

I like watercolor. I like its unpredictability. I like to play with 

colors and shapes. I think that painting should have its own 

meaning for everyone. Art should make you think and lead to 

new discoveries.

which is created by layering lines. This type of pen-drawing 

forms the second distinctive part of her artistic work. 

She has exhibited in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, 

Serbia, the Canary Islands and Ukraine. She was awarded the 

Premio Speciale Della Critica at the XXI Premio Internationale 

D’Arte San Crispino (IT) in 2019 and 2nd place for her pearl

Will Terra 

I am a 29-year-old self-taught artist, born in Brazil but currently 

based in Lisbon, Portugal. 

My paintings portray oneiric realities. I explore themes of 

metaphysics such as existence, time, consciousness and space. 

I often mix these concepts with the natural world and some 

social critique. The force of chaos in the universe is an important 

subject in my paintings, and this concept also influences 

my method of painting which uses a certain degree of improvisation. 

My main source of inspiration is the mystery of our existence 

and our relationship with the universe. The fact that all things 

in the universe are made of matter and nothing is eternal, is 

depicted in my paintings by the strong brushwork, merging 

elements, dynamic objects and fading edges.

painting became a possibility to continue creating and opened 

a whole new world of colour. Fascinated equally by the transparency 

and material of the colours in painitngs of old masters 

and the huge canvases of american artists of abstract expresssionism, 

having been formed as a sculptor, she understood the 

canvas as an object in the space of a gallery or a museum. In 

her door sized canvases she evokes the colour as a conterpart 

of the viewer offering communication on an equal footing, being 

literally of the same size and having the same importance. 

She uses eggtempera in up to 50 layers, kind of sculpting the 

substance of the colour. Because of the importance of exploring 

reality, her work includes also realistic studies of figure and 

anatomy in pencil and charcoal.

Olga Bonitas 

Artist, illustrator, teacher. 

Watercolor is my passion. The watercolor process is always 

improvisation. It is an unpredictable and almost uncorrected 

medium. Sometimes it takes several attempts to achieve the 

desired effect. While painting I feel that I have a co-author: 

the result depends not only on me but also on the behavior of 

paints. 

That’s why watercolor illustrations are so fresh and delightful. 

They remain popular and in demand despite the widespread of 

digital art. 

Tending to realism I love to add something unusual and unexpected 

in my illustrations. 

I tell stories through my paintings. And believe that art is powerful 

and makes the world a better place.

Lauren Roberts 

My name is Lauren Roberts and I’m currently a teaching assistant 

in my local primary school. 

I’ve studied art throughout high school and college alongside 

photography and pottery. At 17 I moved to Cyprus and studied 

at the Cyprus college of art in Limassol. After that I graduated 

from the school of life! I became a mum, started working and 

built my world and family. Now in my 30’s I’m finally having an 

opportunity to start doing what I love again. I’m blessed to live 

in a rural town in Staffordshire and there is no end of inspiration. 

I have no specific style I just love to create, by any means 

necessary. All media is fair game. I will try anything just to see 

what happens.

Donna Dent 

I am a Designer who loves to paint, with a background in 

textile design and yarn technology, providing the inspiration 

behind most of my paintings. 

Textiles to me, are remarkable, and my ambivalence towards a 

digital future has me creating paintings that represent digital 

textiles whilst remaining completely analogue. I like to push 

the boundaries of what I can achieve using paint and resin to 

create layering and give real depth to my painting. I like to use 

florescent colour and textures finished with a glass like surface 

of resin that produces a slightly 3D effect. 

I studied Textile Design at Huddersfield University and prior to 

that, I went to Bath Academy of Art.

Dominique Zuber 

My name is Dominique Zuber and I live with my two kids in 

Switzerland. 

With 16 I began my artwork to express myself, to get in touch 

with my soul and my feelings. I was influenced by Basquiat and 

Picasso. 

There is nothing more fulfilling for me then to get in the flow 

state. It is the best therapie I‘ ve known. 

5 years ago I started to have some private lessons with the 

great artist Eva Pospisil. 

She learned me a lot and always convinced myself in believing 

in the process and in me. 

To be in touch with the colours, to try, to explore new things, 

to use my hands and my heart- and not the brain, listen to good 

music like David Bowie, Placebo or Florence and the Machine, 

takes me to an inner world, that is hard to describe… but hopefully 

to feel in my works.. 

I could not imagine a world without. 

Without creativity the soul is dying.

Originally from Liverpool UK, Kenneth F Yates studied Fine Art 

at Leeds University, specialising in video art. As a filmmaker 

he’s made creative films for Screen Yorkshire and North West 

Vision in England. His photographs have been exhibited online 

and in galleries, both in the UK and internationally. Recently 

some of his street photography was published in an international 

art magazine, but he also has more aesthetic interests, 

pushing the boundaries of what a photograph can be. His 

‘Crespucular Glass’ series explores the intersection between 

realism and abstraction in photography in trying to create with 

glass and light an analogue of abstract painting in a photographic 

image.

Caitlin Smith 

@thenortherngoth 

Caitlin is a multidisciplinary surrealist completing her master’s 

degree at the University of Sunderland. Working with a plethora 

of mediums, Smith favours relief printmaking processes 

& painting, acrylic being her preferred choice. At present, her 

practice explores the figurative narrative of the internalised 

femme fatale conjuring fragmented paintings and prints. 

She strives to eradicate the unspoken autocracy and biased 

attitudes implemented within both society & the Arts, alongside 

prioritising inclusivity, and representation. Smith visually 

transcribes an outrageous oeuvre displaying themes of politics, 

societal taboos, and conflict. 

Referring to the theory demonstrated by poststructuralism, 

Caitlin’s practice confronts the notion of gender biases and 

stereotypes. She creates works that shift the objectification of 

women and marginalised genders onto men, conveying a reciprocated 

image that depicts the man as the subject of societal 

standards and scrutiny. Smith celebrates women’s bodies as 

they are, rather than the subject of degradation and sexualisation.

Amanda Kessaris 

Amanda Kessaris (2001) is a Danish-American artist with roots 

in California but currently living and studying art in Aarhus, 

Denmark. Though previously identifying as primarily a painter, 

Kessaris has in recent years begun incorporating various artistic 

disciplines in her work to convey a shared theme. Through 

translating her 2-D works into films, photography, or performance, 

she uses medium as language to bring her work to life 

in a way that can be experienced and understood in different 

contexts. Her work investigates gender roles and expectations 

both in terms of behavior and appearance, as well as comments 

on a culture where the body is a blank canvas that lies in the 

field of tension between something natural and something 

assumed.

Fuen Fernandez Estepa 

“Painting and drawing made me fall in love since I was little 

in Seville. Light, color, perspective, composition have always 

attracted me. 

I took painting and drawing courses at an Art School in Paris, 

and in addition I prepared the title of Graphic Designer where I 

learned and perfected digital creation. 

I like both traditional art and digital art. In fact, as a result of 

these studies, I often make original creations as a result of of 

amazing mixes of my paintings, watercolours, India inks and 

charcoal drawings with Photoshop. 

I try to reflect in my works what I see around me: a gesture, 

a landscape, a look, a smile… A beautiful photograph can also 

inspire me. Reflect environments, shapes, colors, light, character, 

looks, feelings, impressions.”

Marina Ogai 

She was born on April 3, 1993. Originally from Moscow, Russia, 

and currently living and working in Gwangju, South Korea). 

Drawing has always been a passion of Marina’s for a big part of 

her life. She began with oil painting technique at the age of 15. 

Being an artist had been her dream since childhood. 

Marina Ogai is a Koryo Saram (also known as Goryeoin or 

Koryoin), one of the descendants of Koreans who emigrated 

by and large from the northern part of the Korean Peninsula to 

eastern Russia between the late 19th and the early 20th century. 

In 1937, such ethnic Koreans were forcibly relocated by the 

Stalin regime en masse to present-day Central Asia. 

That is why the theme of her work is korean woman in all 

his beauty. She is inspired by strong woman, Korean culture, 

flowers and nature. Marina is a sincerely believer that there’s 

an deep bond between a woman and nature. The main idea 

behind Marina’s paintings is to show asian people inner beauty 

and character.

Myrzakhmetov Marat 

My mission as an artist share your feelings with the whole 

world! 

He graduated from a higher educational institution, specializing 

in teaching fine arts and drawing. For a long time he worked in 

the field of graphic design. 

Moving to a resort town by the sea forced me to return to the 

questions of my creative realization and allowed me to concentrate 

only on my work. Starting to draw some new work, it is 

impossible to predict what it will be like. I just sit down, turn on 

the music, take a blank sheet of paper, a pen and get to work, 

never knowing what it will be and in what material, an irresistible 

desire to express my thoughts and feelings through art. The 

complexity of the images and the originality of the technique 

of performance allows you to move up the creative ladder, 

moving away from the usual standards and stereotypes. For 

me, as an artist, graphic art seems simple and complex at the 

same time. It seems to me very interesting to look for and find 

the line between black and white, adding a little red to it.

Vanessa Wenwieser 

Vanessa Wenwieser’s work places the female into the centre of 

her imagination, she liberates them from the typical male gaze 

and brings her female perspective to the forefront. 

In her artworks, women are seen as beings with minds, emotions 

and intuitively powerful. Using the figure and allusive 

storytelling elements Wenwieser examines the gap between 

appearance and being. 

Feelings are exhibited naked and vulnerable, she explores them 

in an imaginative and beautiful way, trying to make people see 

the transcendent. 

Her aim is to pull the viewer inside her pictures to make them 

inhabit her otherworldly depictions. 

These artworks, show what particular transformative emotions 

and feelings could look like. Be it love, metamorphosis, imagination, 

healing, regaining lost strength and the afterlife. 

Wenwieser uses space to create feeling of the sublime, when 

describing strong emotional places of the soul.

Lisa Davis 

I am a UK based artist working with acrylics on canvas. I have 

always dabbled in painting, but it wasn’t until suffering three 

tragic losses in less than a year that I dedicated myself to art 

(outside of my day job). Whilst working through my grief in 

front of a canvas I discovered my passion and stepped into 

my purpose. Every piece is revealed in the moment, evolving 

spontaneously and organically with each stroke of the brush 

(or comb, or shower squeeze or de-icer tool…..whatever is on 

hand can be part of the creative process). My work has been 

displayed in two London galleries and my creative vision has 

led to a devoted international clientele.

Holly Davis 

Holly wavers through digital and physical realms, allowing her 

to try and merge the two worlds together. This is due to how 

the natural self is constantly questioned by the digital persona 

she may constitute online. The new rapid growth in this cyberspace 

world brings into question whether there is a crossover 

between the two, a connection between the programmed self 

and the subconscious. With an interest in digital aesthetics, 

this is explored through manipulated digital image creation, 

presenting the distorted perception she has of herself through 

the selfie culture and creative computing (Augmented Reality 

and Artificial intelligence), which is later further manipulated 

using traditional methods (acrylic paint). Her identity or “identities” 

are presented through layering showing the complexity of 

the self. 

Holly is a multimedia artist currently based in London. Her 

practice has begun looking at immersion as a way of inclusivity 

to get others to self-reflect on themselves too.
