Nickname: Vitaliy Gonikman

Country: United States

Bio: I was born and raised in a beautiful old city Odessa in Ukraine. Odessa was my early inspiration for black and white cityscape drawings. Now I live in the beautiful city of New York that is spiritually so close to Odessa. Throughout my life I was trying to establish my own style, style that will express my inner world and artistic preferences. When I started to create surrealistic black and white drawings I felt 'this is it'.....I have found it and I named my style "Conceptual Surrealism". My main intent is to embed a deep meaning in each image but leave plenty of room for the viewer's imagination. My favorite media is ink and pen but I'm gladly using oil paints, watercolors, pencils, and I love photography

Nickname: Gasztonyi K.

Country: Hungary

Statement: The uploaded works are my own works.

Bio: Art of Kálmán Gasztonyi Kálmán Gasztonyi was born in Budapest, 1964.He started to study painting when he was 15, his first teacher was János Nagy, a Szőnyi student. He applied to the University of Applied Arts, but was rejected, and instead had a diploma of Civil Egineer. These two experiences influenced his art and professional mentality. He became the student of Tibor Wessely at the ARTEX Foreign Trade Company’s free spiritual studio, that he counts to be the greatest gift of his life. Despite he was not studying in art Institutions, and maybe because of that, he achieved the painting techniques of classical masters. His early works appeared in international art markets and exhibits his works since 1992. More than 100 paintings can be found in German private and public collectors. His big size paintings were sold at the biggest auction house of Münich and his two paintings adorn the wall of Dresdner Bank’s Main Hall. His portrait of Sergio Orsi, the former president of the International Association of Kayak and Canoe can be found in Firenze. The portrait of Lajos Ordas, professor of theology can be found in the Lutheran Museum at Deák tér, Budapest, and other four portraits of Teleki are in the collection of Teleki – Degenfeld castle in Szirák, Hungary. The main hall of the La Fabbrica restaurant in Budapest is decorated by his 25 sqm secco. It has been 10 years already that he is teaching techniques of oil painting, presently as the the Art Leader of Zsilip Art School. The base of his educational theory is encouraging his students to first achieve appropriate technical knowledge before any implementation of private styles. Every year he leads several Art Camps where beside studio oil painting he teaches applicants plain air, pastel, drawing and aquarel. The colour and brush-techniques of romantic masters and the spatial composition based on golden ratio characterizes his painting . He draws with great confidence with the lack of artistic redundancy. Unlike of those artists coming from Art Institutions, he is not canonizing consciously his own works. According to his own confession he is not applying any kind of style in his works, he feels to be closed and limited by them. It’s always the theme that describes its technique offering the feeling of freedom against overregulated life. As he says: ’My periods have no beginnings and no ends, but always stay with me.’ His style and themes can be described as eclectic playfulness and self-contradiction: Once he makes dark background Caravaggio paraphrases, other times self portraits in contrast with naive children-drawing. Sometimes he paints symbolist painting which is an caricature of one of the dictators (Éjsötétke és a négy törpe – Small night darky and the four dwarfs) or floating boat in a hyperrealistic way (Floating, Tethered). He’s a God Searcher, that’s why much of his oeuvre is made up of adaptations of biblical scenes. In his acts, he often counteracts soft female beauty with explicit sexuality ((Tiny, red ribbon). The human body interests him only in texture, while in his hyperrealistic marble “portraits” he is looking for human (Kiss). In spite of that it seems difficult to discover both thematic and stylistic continuity in his works, but the engineering regularity, solid editing, and order of thought still weaves a delicate cobweb into his paintings.

Nickname: JUAN FRANCISCO

Country: Spain

Statement: My artworks are impregnated with colors and emotions that tell the daily life of some magical places, the noise of cars, a simple look. They are full of atmosphere, life and feeling that express part of my feelings and also criticize the society .

Bio: Born in Madrid (Spain) in February 1976, residing in Damiel (Cuidad Real) in the heart of La Mancha, Gómez-Cambronero is a civil engineer. From the moment he could hold a paint brush he showed great talent as an artist. His being raised in a family oriented environment gave birth to the uniqueness of his paintings with singular nuances that make his work recognizable. Today he has emerged as a great projection artist with his own personal stamp. His artwork shows meticulous use of space, accenting theperspectives, creating movement, immersion of light and enveloped in shadows. Above all, his work shows profound and emotional depths, able to connect with the deep level of emotion created for his audience. Juan Francisco responds to the axiom that is pictorial realism. Nevertheless, he doesn’t object to merging that style with figurative expressionism, unstoppable and pulled from his artistic personality. That is the foundation of his uniqueness in which his craft impacts his ability to generate questions in the observer. That initial stage varies by a mature and technically excellent evolution of his work. Today there is no challenge that he backs down from. In fact, he doesn’t wait, he looks for them. He’s not intimidated to handle anything from the Manchego traditions to the most untouched urban settings; from the celebrations to the retreat; from the chaotic to the serene. His art is dynamic; like the rain that drops on the pavement, from the hustle and bustle of the city but it shows a stillness and serenity. It resonates like a child unaffected by life; like a prayer echoing from a mosque, a lost and silent street. Gómez-Cambronero accomplishes what artists strive for. He has a way of communicating, he opens up, captures and achieves it. His gift shows a profound form and a rebellious personality. It is reactionary and combines both of his cerebral hemispheres. The result is of great visual impact and dynamic art form. It is here the maturity of his artistic vision that has captivated audiences, winning him several awards both nationally and internationally. He has participated in many art expositions, illustrated books and has accentuated urban spaces with realistic cut sculptures made of iron and copper bars.

Nickname: Evgenia Klimenko

Country: Ukraine

Bio: Evgenia Klimenko is an artist whose work is deeply rooted in the figurative tradition, yet she embraces the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art. Her passion for painting is unwavering, as she finds profound joy and meaning in creating art. While conceptual art often reflects societal issues, Klimenko views her own work as a means to convey moods, atmospheres, and feelings—expressed through traditional materials and techniques. She believes that, much like language, art remains a timeless tool for communicating thoughts and emotions. For Klimenko, painting is both a personal journey and a way to preserve memories, as she continues to find beauty in the simple things—landscapes, boats, houses, and everyday objects. Each piece she creates is an exploration of her unique perspective, emotions, and the endless possibilities of artistic expression.

Nickname: Bors

Country: Hungary

Bio: I was born in 1977 near Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Hungary. I became interested in fine arts at an early age and over the years I have learned about the art and oil painting from several masters. I am constantly improving myself in the field of figurative geometry through individual training. In fine art, both subject matter and technique are important to me. In terms of technique, my role models are the classical Hungarian and European masters, from the Renaissance to the present day. In terms of subject matter and its treatment (stories told with geometric abstract elements), I am influenced by the classical Russian avant-garde, especially the paintings of El Liszickij, Lyubov Popova and Olga Rozanova. It is important to me that my work has a sense of tension and calm, because the tension is that makes balance alive. To do this, I use axonometry and colour perspective, mixed colours and their saturation, tonal value, proportions, the subtle soft transition of light and shadow. In 2024, I started working with reproduced graphics, which are based on my painting. I make just minimal changes to the digitised image, enhancing its graphic character, so the imperfections of the painting and the texture of the canvas are preserved in the print. The archival pigment prints are museum quality, on 310 gramm Fabriano paper, in various sizes, in small editions.

Bio: Elena was born in Moscow into a family of well-known journalists who went to exhibitions and vernissages every week with friends, artists and art historians and took them with them from a very tender age, probably this influenced the choice of a future profession, although not immediately. After school, she entered the Moscow Technical University and only then, on the unexpected advice of familiar artists (although some did not advise her to study, believing that she had already developed her own style, and learning could damage her individuality), she entered the art and graphic faculty of the Moscow Pedagogical Institute. . At that time, it was the only university where it was possible to study drawing and fine arts, so higher education had already been received. In her third year, she became a member of the UNESCO City Graphics Committee and took part in exhibitions in Moscow and Siberia. At the same time, private galleries and halls began to appear, where it was possible not only to exhibit, but also to sell her works, her works were exhibited and sold in many galleries and auction houses in Moscow, acquired in private collections of America, Kazakhstan and Norway. At the moment, Elena is a member of the Professional Union of Artists, is an original professional artist with a recognizable style and an independent view of what is happening in Art and the world.
