ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
Each painting by Magdalena Lenartowicz is a story of a man’s journey to freedom, inner acceptance and harmony with the place they have chosen. The elements of the world inspire her to create images/journeys. For her travel companions, she chooses deep colours that come from nature. The final destination of every journey is a painting that calms emotions and brings solace to one’s senses. "We are locked in a concrete reality – we desire contact with nature."
Organic forms help to run away from the surrounding reality to return to one’s interior, to the basics. The dream is to be able to feel the inner strength that will inspire peace and harmony. Our inspiration is the nature and the processes of change that occur in it. The mutual relationship of the images, which are very different in terms of content, is combined in a similar energy and colour. During her painting travels, Lenartowicz doesn’t get attached to one tool, form or style, although she admits that recycling art is particularly close to her heart.
When creating, she often uses old materials found in attics, grandma’s cupboards, or worn-out books. By adding old prints, vellum, or common packaging paper, she gives new life to bits of everyday stories, and allows spectators to contemplate and interpret the paintings from a different perspective.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
In 2019 inspired in gold, a metal which was cherished by millennial civilizations, Eddie Mosler developed the “Spirit of Gold Collection” where he incorporates his “Activated Gold” technique as well as oil, acrylic, fire and other elements; a creative breath where he recognizes the presence of divinity and its connection with the human being.
On September 27, 2020, Eddie launches his collection “Auric Pyramid” in an event made for “World Healing”, at “The Middle of the World Monument” in Ecuador, for the entire planet. An event where he makes known the properties and benefits of his art in the processes of healing and connection with the universe.
“Throughout my artistic career I have focused on the origin of color; as a result of this work, portals were manifested to me and I have been able to design dimensional structures to have a better connection with the universe, this connection guide me to create the design of an artistic structure of astral ascension and to the auric frequency for the humanity evolution in light. This artistic structure is based on an auric portal of creation composed of 9 auric colors, 9 geometric figures and 9 light pillars connected with the frequency of the Astral Gold in the 17th dimension”.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
王如卉 (Wang Ruhui) is an artist from Hangzhou, China. "My paintings often have absurd authenticity, and life has a real absurdity. Most of my creative inspirations come from thinking and fantasizing about the natural environment, seeking poetic and gentle comfort in the ordinary. Through the subjective imagination and processing of the natural environment, the work presents a poetic and surreal aesthetic feeling. I often wander between order and disorder. The images I write reflect my perception of the inner world at the moment. I give them their own form, and they make sense. In my eyes, there are many possibilities for the same thing. I would store many colors and shapes in my mind, giving them a different language of painting. My inner monologue can be clearly felt through the picture. My images are light and light in tone, with temperature and detail, depicting a natural environment that is both surreal and taken for granted."

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
The Beautiful Error is a visual artist working in sculpture, photography and print. Her work explores new media technologies through the construction and deconstruction of digital imagery, coding and unintentional errors that occur in our technological experiences. She questions the shape and form of digital culture and how this could be represented when it’s forced to slow down. Her digital works go against a logical order and interpret the moments a ‘pure’ digital system can stretch, navigate and reveal its nonsense within physical spaces. Her research has developed through ongoing explorations connecting digital culture, ecology, geological deep time and the future use and sustainability of technology. She currently lives in Perth, Scotland dividing her time between teaching, residencies and studio based practice.
View her artwork daily at 7:00 PM on the Big Screen through June 30th.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
Born in Mumbai, India – surrounded by artists and musicians, Art by Neelam quickly discovered her creative spirit and developed a keen interest in various forms of art. After earning a BFA in Graphic Design from University of Mumbai, Neelam emigrated to the United States in 1984. While raising her family she studied Computer Graphics. She worked for 2 years as a Computer Graphics Designer, and then trained in Web Designing as well as Computer Programming.
While working as a programmer for a large telecommunications company, she quenched her artistic thirst by painting on glass, wood, fabrics, and canvas. After being laid off during the economic downturn of 2001, she became a full-time floorcloth (hand-painted canvas rug) artist. The patterns of her floorcloths are inspired by Colonial American walland floor designs. She also creates one of a kind pieces as per supplied designs. She has been recognized by Early American Life magazine as a top floorcloth artist for historic accuracy and museum quality workmanship. Her pieces are displayed in several museums, period homes as well as private collections. So far she has created over 19,000 sq. ft. of floorcloths.
After 14 years as a full-time floorcloth artist, Neelam found the creative process to be pleasing yet repetitive. However, studying the works of Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Helen Frankenthaler, V. S. Gaitonde, and S. H. Raza revealed to her the freedoms of abstraction.
Neelam’s initial abstract works were geometric paintings, which did not come spontaneously. Starting with pencil sketches, she used her computer skills to create multiple digital representations before painting on canvas. This methodical process came naturally because of her graphic design training, but she continued to perceive a void in her creative mind. However, an unplanned immersion into spirituality released her from the comfort zone and gave her the courage to express feelings freely. The sub
Second. perfectly captures the deeply personal nature of milestone events, offering a diverse and tailored experience to house and enhance those extra-special moments with those you love most.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎨✨
Hans Withoos draws inspiration for his artwork from his ancestors.
"Withoos meets Withoos: A co-operation with my 17th-century ancestors Mathias Withoos and his children with my own artistic and modern approach.
I am fascinated by beauty in all its aspects: the beauty of drama, of the body and of light, as well as the beauty of suffering. My photography is set in a world of abundance and artifice, suggesting a certain decadence. It is a world that is both alien and familiar. The figures that crowd the images become archetypes, leaving the viewer with a sense of alienation. My work is multi-layered, with carefully staged images and an idiosyncratic aesthetic. The images sometimes evoke emotions such as suffering, sensuality and oppressiveness.
In 2016, I started my research into the paintings of my ancestor Mathias Withoos (1627-1703). Having studied under Jacob van Camper he travelled to Italy in 1648, where he became one of ‘The Bentveughels’. He was supported by Leopoldo de Medici. I also studied the work of his children, who mostly created gouaches of nature, and by paying attention to every aspect of their work I try to integrate it into my modern view of art.I started with the symbolism of Mathias’s work, but later I also applied his use of colour and contrasting lines, or aspects of these, to my modern warriors, and so I created my own story. This resulted in timeless artworks, to which I added emotion, life and people. My work can be seen as romantic, surrealistic.
In 2020-2021, I worked with Inge Theunissen (‘Itmoves’ –Arnhem) on a surrealistic film. The 12-minute film shows both my earlier works with Mathias Withoos and the most recent ones, and it gives a good impression of my way of thinking. Inge’s skills in filming and her sympathetic style of editing perfectly complemented my work.The film is shown in several museums and at art exhibitions, but it is not online yet because we have other plans for it."

As a native New Orleanian who now lives in Seattle, Ariane Callender's hometown has heavily influenced her abstract style which has been described as ‘prolific’, ‘vibrant’ and ‘carefree’. She equally enjoys creating large statement pieces, miniature works, and abstracts on paper. It is Ariane’s hope that her observers linger in the details on the canvas long enough to walk away with an immense sense of peace and joy. Whether through bold colors or unconventional shapes, Ariane aims to create a visual language that speaks directly to the heart.
View her artwork daily at 4:00 PM on the Big Screen through June 30th.
