Makis Koulianos
The Seed of Love
The Seed of Love by Makis Koulianos is a striking exploration of the genesis of love, capturing the raw energy of its inception. As the first piece in his trilogy—The Seed of Love, The Birth of Love, The Death of Love—this painting delves into the profound moment when love first awakens, portraying it as both a force of nature and a divine spark. Each painting in this series has its own story, weaving together a narrative of love’s evolution, from its fragile beginnings to its inevitable transformation.
Incorporating the influences of Renaissance masters like Caravaggio and José de Ribera, as well as the modern elegance of Roberto Ferri, Koulianos masterfully employs chiaroscuro and tenebrism to heighten the dramatic tension. The composition exudes a neo-Baroque intensity, where light pierces through darkness, symbolizing the purity and fragility of love as it emerges from the depths of human consciousness.
His figures, rendered with a near-sculptural quality, appear caught in a liminal state—torn between desire and transcendence, vulnerability and power. Through his meticulous brushwork, Koulianos unveils the esoteric dimensions of love, hinting at its potential for transformation and its inevitable journey toward fulfillment or demise. The Seed of Love is not just an image but an invitation to contemplate the evolution of the soul through the mysteries of passion and enlightenment.

Beautiful Dreamer
"Beautiful Dreamer" by visionary artist Giovanni Morales masterfully reimagines vintage charm through a contemporary pop lens. Bursting with bright colors and dynamic energy, this captivating piece is layered with meticulous craftsmanship—melding acrylic, spray paint, and hand-cut stencils to create a vibrant, textured composition. Morales draws inspiration from vintage typography, iconic comic book imagery, pulp fiction, and classic films, weaving nostalgic storytelling into each brushstroke.
The painting’s vivid palette and repeated motifs evoke a sense of motion and rhythm, celebrating both the bold spirit of pop art and the timeless allure of mid-century aesthetics. The wood panel’s shape enhances the narrative, adding a sculptural quality that amplifies its nostalgic resonance. Beautiful Dreamer captures the essence of memory and imagination, offering a fresh perspective on a bygone era while inviting viewers to dream beyond the present.
First debuted at the Context Art Fair in Miami and now featured at the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary event, this piece is a striking example of Morales’s unique ability to breathe new life into forgotten narratives.
Martha Sanders Orange Realm
"The Man in the Mirror" by Anick Langelier is a striking and introspective piece that reimagines one of the most infamous moments in art history—Vincent van Gogh’s self-mutilation. In this powerful painting, Van Gogh is depicted gazing into a mirror, confronting his own fractured psyche as he takes the razor to his ear. The composition masterfully blends realism with surreal elements, immersing the viewer in the raw turmoil of the artist’s mind.
Langelier’s use of color and texture pays homage to Van Gogh’s signature brushwork while adding a contemporary depth to the scene. The reflection in the mirror serves as both a literal and symbolic element, representing self-examination, artistic sacrifice, and the fine line between genius and madness. The contrast between shadow and light enhances the emotional weight of the piece, making it a haunting yet deeply human portrayal of suffering and self-destruction.
Through The Man in the Mirror, Langelier invites the audience to step into Van Gogh’s world, exploring the torment and brilliance that shaped his legacy.
Anick Langelier is a young, untrained, intuitive artist living and working in Montreal, Canada. Anick Langelier was born in july of 1981 and she began painting on a steady basis at the age of 16 to notably fight schizophrenia. She was first strongly driven by her love for the classic painters of the impressionist, expressionist and surrealist movements. But, she soon after got the feeling she was a true original talent and started working on her own signature. She has just been discovered by untamed women art gallery La Galerie des Nanas in Danville, Quebec, and has found out at the same time that she could be associated with some larger movement, somehow called “art brut”. She long thought she was all alone and misunderstood… Anick Langelier has a corpus of over 250 amazing oil paintings all crammed in the four rooms appartment of her father in Montreal.
La Galerie des Nanas has presented the work of Anick Langelier in her first large scale solo exhibition in the fall of 2012, and has arranged for her participation at Biennale Internationale d’Art-Hors-Les-Normes in Lyon in the fall of 2013. One of her painting was chosen to illustrate the event catalog.
Not ever since Arthur Villeneuve, has Quebec given us a painter of the scope of Anick Langelier. She literally lives for her art and only stops when she’s short of canvases and oil. She has a wonderful production depicting strange universes full of people, she expresses existential quests, the idea of God, good and evil and the dreamy-haunting worlds of childhood. She also has a fair number of free renderings of classical masterpieces like “Le Cri” from E. Munch, Goya’s “Tres de Mayo”, Van Gogh’s “Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear” or “L’Angelus du soir” from Jean-François Millet.
She only works on five specific sizes on canvases and applies very generous coats of oil in punchy primary colors.
Anick's work can be found in le Musée International d'art naïf de Magog,
the Museum of Outsider Contemporary Art (MOCA),

Her work is celebrated for its bold use of color, emotional resonance, and captivating precision. Employing gravity as her collaborator, Kim pours paint directly onto the canvas, allowing the paint to flow downward, drawn by natural forces, and forming intricate, vertical stripes.
“The paint eventually drips off the bottom of the canvas, creating either a natural extension of the work on the surface below or allowing the excess to fall away,” she explains. “The process is as much about letting go of control as it is about making intentional choices. To me, this technique embodies freedom, chaos, and the raw power of natural forces.”
While her method embraces spontaneity, Kim’s finished pieces exude harmony, featuring dozens of shades of color that radiate positivity. Her art is a celebration of color as a transformative force, evoking hope and joy.

Deeply inspired by Renaissance masters such as Caravaggio, José de Ribera, and Guido Reni, as well as contemporary artists like Roberto Ferri and Christopher Remmers—whom he has studied under—Koulianos combines classical techniques with a modern vision.
At the core of his artistic philosophy is the idea that consciousness expands through intentional creative expression. His paintings reflect a deep sensitivity to the human soul, exploring esoteric themes while masterfully blending chiaroscuro and tenebrism with vibrant, powerful colors. Through his brush, he constructs scenes of mystery, unveiling the complexities of inner transformation and the hidden dimensions of existence.
