Capturing the essence of being female through a prism of intrigue, humor, and absurdity, Patricia Schnall Gutierrez offers a fresh perspective on the narratives that shape women’s lives. She believes that women have been oversimplified and misrepresented throughout eras in media and art history. Navigating the illusion between past and present, Patricia creates a contemporary chronicle of life interwoven with memories of joy, sorrow, growth, and introspection.
These emotions, she contends, need not be simplified, as they occur simultaneously in the lives of individuals. Themes of identity, feminine roles, child rearing, and aging are used as threads in the weaving of her own experiences.
Patricia’s feminine-based approach extends beyond drawing and painting to include sculpture, installation, performance, and film. While her drawing and painting are intentionally calculated, her sculptures and installations are freely associative, exploring what it means to be feminine. Her performances and films poetically capture collective female consciousness, recording the stories of herself and women in her community. By layering materials and objects, she draws viewers into deliberate dialogues that probe questions about female roles and experiences.
To witness Patricia approach her work is to see a consummate artist in action. As if in dialogue, she is a dancer, or method actor, stepping up to and into the piece. She intently focuses while making sweeping gestures, brushing away strokes, and returning to diligently render a still image. A still image, yes, but with so much movement, it is as if not only her intent, but also her body is in the very body of her work.
Patricia follows and breaks convention at the junction between those two seemingly opposing forces, offering a perspective uniquely culled from her years as a keen observer of life around her and her own experiences through art. In her world, the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, infusing the everyday with unexpected twists.
This transformation is a testament to her multidisciplinary approach, which considers the relationship of material, process, and outcome. Her selection of mediums and methods, both used independently and combined, translates into questions and reflections on the diverse facets of being female in a world nuanced with challenges. Her work addresses the need for society to honor women fiercely for their many roles.

Born in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, on April 29, 1963, Ana grew up in the “land of the beloved sun,” filled with many bright and vivid colors, cheerful people, and a culture that infused her personality and her work as an artist.
Ana’s experience in fine arts began when she moved to Madrid and studied fashion design for three years at the IADE (Educational Institution for the Arts). Here is where she began to explore deeper that world of creativity that she had cultivated as a child. Ana was surrounded by works of great visual artists including her inspirations in Velázquez, Goya, Picasso, Dalí, Monet, Manet, and so many other masters.
This immersion in different artistic tendencies such as impressionism, cubism, helped her define her voice and understand from where to garner inspiration to inform her artistic narrative in her work.
In 2002, she moved to Atlanta and lived there with her husband and young son. For 13 years, she got to know the southern charm and its particular vintage aesthetic, which also greatly influenced her art and vision.
When Ana moved to Miami in 2014, she began working what she refers to as Mis Meninas (my Meninas) in an abstract figurative manner. This approach allows her to present a story but allow the viewer to fill in their own impression of what they experience in viewing her paintings.
Ana’s family and her friends play a huge role for her in support of her adventure through the exploration and revelation of what it means to be an artist.

Annelisse Molini was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She is an artist who dabbles in painting, sculpture and installation. In 1984 she began her studies at the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design. In 1991 she completed her Masters in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she received the Henry Adams Medal awarded by the American Institute of Architects to the most outstanding graduate student. She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree.
Her interest in drawing and painting led her to complement her profession with the visual arts. While working as an architect, she took courses at the League of Arts of San Juan and from 1994 to 1998 worked under the tutelage of artist Andy Bueso, a teacher and friend, whom enriched her theoretical knowledge and helped her to formalize her participation in painting, holding her first solo exhibition at the Museum of the Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1999.
Annelisse continued her learning in a self-taught way, becoming from that moment on a tireless reader and student of the subject of art and its history. In 2006 she started working full time in art and began to combine figuration with abstraction, working on social themes and experimenting with different materials such as wood, metal and rubber. Her background in architecture also led her to experiment with space, working with various installations.
Again seeking new languages of expression, Annelisse has collaborated with the prestigious fashion designer Gustavo Arango, where the combination of their disciplines has led to several works on magazine covers and in the press. Aware of the impact that art can have on human beings, and as a result of the impact of the pandemic, Molini has also developed CREATE IS GROW: ART FOR ALL, an art program for young adults with special needs with the mission of using art as a means of self-expression, increasing self-esteem and providing them with tools to work through their conditions. At this time Annelisse continues to develop her work using elements of drawing in architecture such as: sketches, perspectives, facades and other conceptual elements such as deconstructivism. These elements, together with the “collage” technique, are now part of this artist’s complex work, with her pieces belonging to important private collections and public institutions in the country as well as numerous private spaces in Puerto Rico and abroad.

Annelisse Molini was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She is an artist who dabbles in painting, sculpture and installation. In 1984 she began her studies at the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design. In 1991 she completed her Masters in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she received the Henry Adams Medal awarded by the American Institute of Architects to the most outstanding graduate student. She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree.
Her interest in drawing and painting led her to complement her profession with the visual arts. While working as an architect, she took courses at the League of Arts of San Juan and from 1994 to 1998 worked under the tutelage of artist Andy Bueso, a teacher and friend, whom enriched her theoretical knowledge and helped her to formalize her participation in painting, holding her first solo exhibition at the Museum of the Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1999.
Annelisse continued her learning in a self-taught way, becoming from that moment on a tireless reader and student of the subject of art and its history. In 2006 she started working full time in art and began to combine figuration with abstraction, working on social themes and experimenting with different materials such as wood, metal and rubber. Her background in architecture also led her to experiment with space, working with various installations.
Again seeking new languages of expression, Annelisse has collaborated with the prestigious fashion designer Gustavo Arango, where the combination of their disciplines has led to several works on magazine covers and in the press. Aware of the impact that art can have on human beings, and as a result of the impact of the pandemic, Molini has also developed CREATE IS GROW: ART FOR ALL, an art program for young adults with special needs with the mission of using art as a means of self-expression, increasing self-esteem and providing them with tools to work through their conditions. At this time Annelisse continues to develop her work using elements of drawing in architecture such as: sketches, perspectives, facades and other conceptual elements such as deconstructivism. These elements, together with the “collage” technique, are now part of this artist’s complex work, with her pieces belonging to important private collections and public institutions in the country as well as numerous private spaces in Puerto Rico and abroad.

Carlos’ abstractions present spectators with a complex visual language full of expression, color, and motion. Sometimes minimalistic and other times complex networks of shapes and lines create vibrant canvases buzzing with his signature mark.
Born in 1958, he participated in the GLCA Apprenticeship program in 1979 (now called the AICAD / New York Studio Residency Program), assisting NYC artists Robert Stackhouse and Louis Liberman. He graduated from DePauw University in 1980 with a Liberal Arts Degree.
Though he is widely recognized as a painter and sculptor, throughout his career he has also worked as a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Art Director, and Creative Director, which has given him an eye for what is current. As an artist, he exhibited four solo shows at Galleria Luigi Marrozzini until the mid-1990s, which were pivotal in his career, positioning him as a creative force within the local art scene.
During this period, Carlos was selected for the traveling exhibit, “New Art from Puerto Rico,” organized by the Springfield Art Museum in Massachusetts and curated by Susana Torruella. In 1994, he took part in the Caribbean Painting Biennial at Museo de Arte Moderno in Santo Domingo. Also that year, his works were included in “Yslas: Art in Transit,” presented at Hostos Community College, Bronx, NY.
He became a painting professor at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in San Juan for two years in the late 1990s and later, in 2001, exhibited his “No Boundaries: a 20-year Survey” at the Museo de Ballaja in Old San Juan, curated by Nilda Peraza (Director at Cayman Gallery, NYC). In 2004, Carlos was part of the traveling exhibit “Puerto Rican Art: Image of a Culture,” presented at the Orlando Museum of Art in Florida. In May 2012, he exhibited a mid-career survey, “Only Essence Remains,” also held at the Museo de Ballaja, curated by William Stover (Curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).
His work is included in major private and public collections around the world, including the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), the Ponce Museum, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de PR (MAC), and the New York Federal Reserve Bank, NYC. In recent years, he has participated in various international art fairs, including Red Dot, Circa, Scope, the Armory Show, and PhotoMiami.
His body of work oscillates between colorful abstractions loaded with intricate markings and bold representational works that are keen, almost satirical observations of social issues found in his native Puerto Rico, where he expresses his acute vernacular in vivid colors.
In 2018, he presented “Aftermath,” a personal view of the issues the island faced after Hurricane Maria. In 2020, which proved to be one of his most productive years, he exhibited his perspective on the COVID Pandemic in “Lockdown Paintings,” a series of large-scale paintings that reflect his experience, thoughts, and comments during those highly medically-political times. In 2020, Carlos was part of the “Art in U.S. Embassies Program” in Kolonia, Federated States of Micronesia. In 2023, he presented “Caribbean Soul” at the Puerto Rico Tourism Co. in San Juan.
As an established artist, he has a quiet, resolute approach, while rendering bold and remarkable modernist strokes of his genius. To divide his work into social commentary through figuration and complex abstract language is to be reductive, as his work is a complex visual language full of expression, color, and motion.

He became a painting professor at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in San Juan for two years in the late 1990s and later, in 2001, exhibited his “No Boundaries: a 20-year Survey” at the Museo de Ballaja in Old San Juan, curated by Nilda Peraza (Director at Cayman Gallery, NYC). In 2004, Carlos was part of the traveling exhibit “Puerto Rican Art: Image of a Culture,” presented at the Orlando Museum of Art in Florida. In May 2012, he exhibited a mid-career survey, “Only Essence Remains,” also held at the Museo de Ballaja, curated by William Stover (Curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).
His work is included in major private and public collections around the world, including the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), the Ponce Museum, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de PR (MAC), and the New York Federal Reserve Bank, NYC. In recent years, he has participated in various international art fairs, including Red Dot, Circa, Scope, the Armory Show, and PhotoMiami.
His body of work oscillates between colorful abstractions loaded with intricate markings and bold representational works that are keen, almost satirical observations of social issues found in his native Puerto Rico, where he expresses his acute vernacular in vivid colors.
In 2018, he presented “Aftermath,” a personal view of the issues the island faced after Hurricane Maria. In 2020, which proved to be one of his most productive years, he exhibited his perspective on the COVID Pandemic in “Lockdown Paintings,” a series of large-scale paintings that reflect his experience, thoughts, and comments during those highly medically-political times. In 2020, Carlos was part of the “Art in U.S. Embassies Program” in Kolonia, Federated States of Micronesia. In 2023, he presented “Caribbean Soul” at the Puerto Rico Tourism Co. in San Juan.
As an established artist, he has a quiet, resolute approach, while rendering bold and remarkable modernist strokes of his genius. To divide his work into social commentary through figuration and complex abstract language is to be reductive, as his work is a complex visual language full of expression, color, and motion.

Carlos’ abstractions present spectators with a complex visual language full of expression, color, and motion. Sometimes minimalistic and other times complex networks of shapes and lines create vibrant canvases buzzing with his signature mark.
Born in 1958, he participated in the GLCA Apprenticeship program in 1979 (now called the AICAD / New York Studio Residency Program), assisting NYC artists Robert Stackhouse and Louis Liberman. He graduated from DePauw University in 1980 with a Liberal Arts Degree.
Though he is widely recognized as a painter and sculptor, throughout his career he has also worked as a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Art Director, and Creative Director, which has given him an eye for what is current. As an artist, he exhibited four solo shows at Galleria Luigi Marrozzini until the mid-1990s, which were pivotal in his career, positioning him as a creative force within the local art scene.
During this period, Carlos was selected for the traveling exhibit, “New Art from Puerto Rico,” organized by the Springfield Art Museum in Massachusetts and curated by Susana Torruella. In 1994, he took part in the Caribbean Painting Biennial at Museo de Arte Moderno in Santo Domingo. Also that year, his works were included in “Yslas: Art in Transit,” presented at Hostos Community College, Bronx, NY.
He became a painting professor at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in San Juan for two years in the late 1990s and later, in 2001, exhibited his “No Boundaries: a 20-year Survey” at the Museo de Ballaja in Old San Juan, curated by Nilda Peraza (Director at Cayman Gallery, NYC). In 2004, Carlos was part of the traveling exhibit “Puerto Rican Art: Image of a Culture,” presented at the Orlando Museum of Art in Florida. In May 2012, he exhibited a mid-career survey, “Only Essence Remains,” also held at the Museo de Ballaja, curated by William Stover (Curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).
His work is included in major private and public collections around the world, including the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), the Ponce Museum, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de PR (MAC), and the New York Federal Reserve Bank, NYC. In recent years, he has participated in various international art fairs, including Red Dot, Circa, Scope, the Armory Show, and PhotoMiami.

Amy Laskin, born in Philadelphia and currently residing in the rural Blue Mountains of Jamaica, is celebrated for her captivating, lush landscapes. Her artworks, primarily oils on linen, feature undulating mountains and native flora, often depicted as mythical female entities in intricate floral compositions.
Amy earned her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in the late 1970s and spent a decade in Chicago, exhibiting her work and teaching. Her journey to Jamaica began as a US Peace Corps Volunteer, where she was enchanted by the country’s tropical beauty, diverse ethnicity, and rich multicultural layers. After her contract ended, she chose to stay, drawn by the verdant landscapes and unusual plant forms, and set up her studio in the Blue Mountains.
Amy’s art career is marked by extensive exhibitions both in Jamaica and abroad. She is represented by several galleries in the Western Hemisphere, and OMSA Gallery in Fort Lauderdale is lucky to have her. Her prolific career has seen her through many solo exhibitions, group shows and art fairs nationally and in the islands.
Her accolades include a solo museum exhibition at the Berman Museum of Art in Collegeville, PA. Her artworks are part of permanent collections at the National Gallery of Jamaica, the Bank of Jamaica, and the Phillip and Muriel Museum at Ursinus College.
Amy’s art is also in numerous private and corporate collections in the US and internationally, and has graced book covers and art magazines.
Amy’s distinctive style blends the visual influences of her Chicago years—surrealism, decorative abundance, and detailed artistry—with the natural beauty of her Jamaican environment, creating a unique and compelling body of work.

Born in Yauli, a tiny town in the Peruvian Andes, Jesus grew up in Lima, a cold, gray, chaotic and complicated city that forced him to escape with his imagination.
In his teen years the city impacted the initial work in a “gray and dark” manner, it was not until later that he began to adopt the lightness and brightness of the colors of the North of Perú and the Peruvian Andes.
Jesus traveled to this region whenever he had a chance of escaping the bustle of the city, seeking the light and colors that he also found in South Florida.
During his early years he was heavily influenced by the work of Marc Chagall and Tilsa Tsuchiya who he considers the parents that enabled his life as an artist. After graduating from the Art Faculty in 1980 in Peru, Jesus began making a living as an illustrator though always working on subjects of his imagination, with strong Expressionist and Surrealist tendencies. His focus always remained on draftsmanship, an important skill he deems essential as a starting point towards anything else creative.
Black and white was his palette of choice when first out of art school, as a main expression, and soon he learned to replace color with chiaroscuro and because of this skill he won several contests at an early age.
Jesus has always been attracted to light, clarity and clean, pure colors. This could be due to the influence of his work as an illustrator before leaving Perú in 1989. This also has informed the playfulness of his work, even when touching on such issues as humanism, erotism, spirituality and the concept of eternal duality. This concept greatly influences his work: viewing the Universe as the philosophical core that informs his narratives. That said, his pieces are about the joy of life, created with a love for life, light and color.
Upon landing in the United States, Jesus cultivated the disciplines of drawing, graphic design, calligraphy, illustration and painting, which enabled him to draw accolades and awards.
Becoming a professor at Miami Dade College through the South Florida Art Center (Painting, Drawing & Watercolor) was another way of expressing his joy for the medium, with his students.
He began exhibiting his work in the US at the Alliance Francaise and the Cultural Center for Hispanic Arts. In the 2000’s he showed his work in Wynwood and at FAT Village in Ft. Lauderdale. In February 2022 Rojas had his first important Retrospective that included 95 pieces sponsored by FAT Village, Ft. Lauderdale-Florida. Since 2010 he has focused on acrylics and watercolor, and continues to explore new mediums and narratives.

From his period when found photographs informed his narrative, Jon has expressed the nuanced, often untranslatable, realities that exist within the human experience. In the thread of his work where traces remain, it’s like a distant but familiar relative appears amidst his new body of work. Jon brings this concept closer to home. He renders a deeper, more personal, immediate, and almost intimate voyeuristic approach to the quotidian.
Featuring imagery he has captured himself, often with medium format, sometimes with what he has at hand, on the unique and quirky streets of Miami, which he calls home, Jon’s conversation with the present unfolds within the context of Art History. He provides his ubiquitous nod to reference what is often obscure, to bring it to light. In this way he translates his conceptually based process through splintered fragments of time and place often floating without foundation before our gaze.
In this way his work transcends perceptions, as he cuts away at the boundaries, that through having been merely captured at a still point in time, delineate a past and present. Jon distills and refines his imagery in this way, as if grappling with fixed conventions and playing with them to coax an understanding of contrasts while highlighting synergies.
Jon’s work has multiple planes that define a sense of chronological depth as if a Muybridge zoopraxiscope might render the gestures movement, coming toward or moving away from the viewer rather than across the view. His collage is often on many planes, and by being mounted on layers of often transparent glass, other times colorfields as surface, creates a scenario, a mirage of sorts. Whereas when those layers are rendered on one plane, the work is almost frontal in its approach
A working artist, Jon is self-taught, developing an art practice that continually develops a distinctly unique visual vernacular. Jon surfs inspiration and waxes philosophical, while standing barefoot waiting for no particular answer at all.
His references are subtle and you might miss them if you are less learned in the history of art. But his work can be understood on another more personal level. Life is rendered and recognized whether a Saint Sebastian, a nude in a raincoat, a pistol rearing young boy, or any of his other cast of characters who have graced, what you might consider ready-mades; devices as visual tools, gadgets to see through the often farcical canons we hold.

By capturing sensory experiences through processes like vitrification, fossilization, and erosion, she approaches her work, mindful of the subtle energy that surrounds her as she sloshes through the Everglades. Using noble materials like walnut ink, coffee stain, and the sinuous shadows and shapes found in nature, Katherine’s art, like vines and mangroves, entangles the organic with the Anthropocene, encapsulating, gracefully, the human era within her creations.
In this way her work reflects an almost reverent connection to nature, deeply rooted in the materiality she chooses. She merges glass, ceramics, and painting as witness to her perception beyond her vision while exploring deeper, tactile dimensions of the human senses that resemble William Blake’s cracks and chinks through which the soul seeps.
A fresh new artist, her spirit speaks with the depth of an old soul, layering memories that resonate with the earth itself. Katherine touches the soil lightly, leaving barely an imprint, creating waves of resonance with her work. Subtle tones inspired by nature—soft blues, earthy browns, and olive greens—are carefully assembled and awash with a quiet elegance.
Her work embodies the natural world’s beauty while reflecting the fragile interplay between humanity and nature, where we can no longer adhere to the paradigm of man vs. nature, a mindset of a bygone era of colonization of the wild and free.

(Edition 1/6),
Antuan, born in Santa Clara, Cuba in 1972, is an influential environmentalist and cosmogonic artist whose work spans diverse disciplines, integrating themes of ecology and social responsibility. Since his artistic training began in the 1980s, at the height of the environmental art movement, Antuan has maintained a steady focus on ecological issues. His commitment to these concerns has defined his work and positioned him as a unique voice in art, blending aesthetics with social activism.
At age 17, Antuan initiated the ECO project, an ephemeral art endeavor that marked the beginning of his environmental focus. He graduated in 1995 from ISP “Félix Varela” in Santa Clara, Cuba, completing a thesis titled Art, Ecology, and Humanism, which underscored his belief in the artist’s role as a social practitioner. Since then, he has created work that reflects his holistic vision, merging art, design, and architecture to address themes of environmental degradation, endangered species, and contemporary human conflicts.
Antuan’s career has gained broad recognition, with his works exhibited at prominent institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto, Cobra Museum in Amsterdam, Palacio de Cristal in Madrid, The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami, and the Museum of Latin American Art in California, among others. His presence in art biennials, fairs, and leading museums across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe has further established his reputation as a socially engaged artist.
In the late 1990s, Antuan developed impactful projects such as Memories of the 20th Century and the Forks and Spoons series, a reflective exploration on concentration camps. In 1998, he was awarded a scholarship from Fundación Bancaja in Valencia, Spain, where he studied bronze casting with sculptor Joseph Castell in France.
Upon migrating to the U.S. in 1999, Antuan’s experiences shaped his focus on humanity’s complex relationship with environmental and social challenges. His “cosmogonic vision” began to influence his work, as he delved into issues like human healing, AIDS, political manipulation, human trafficking, financial greed, and ecological concerns. This vision transcended conventional art market trends, imbuing his work with a profound exploration of our interconnected world.
Today, Antuan’s work is a powerful commentary on human vulnerability, environmental fragility, and the need for collective action. Through his art, he invites reflection on urgent global issues, encouraging a renewed connection to our shared planet and offering a space for healing and social awareness.

As a neurodivergent artist with Tourette’s, Michael creates his universe on the canvas, finding an almost alchemical release in the use of his paint to render 3-D sparks, spirals, spins, splashes and strokes that defy gravity in our field of vision.
Michael received his artistic training in Los Angeles, studying at Loyola Marymount University while simultaneously serving as an apprentice under respected artists Jane Brucker and Roland Reiss. He graduated at the top of his class with honors including the Scholar of Distinction Award in Painting.
Michael returned to his hometown in San Diego, where he currently maintains his studio. With over 100 exhibitions nationally and internationally, he has received over a dozen major awards and was named Emerging Artist of the Year by Art Design Consultants.
Michaels work can be found all over the world in the collections of celebrities, major businesses, and private collectors as well as OMSA Gallery.

Sofía Balut Páez, born May 19, 1991, in Uruguay and Barcelona-based, is a highly regarded young artist whose creative journey is deeply rooted in her lineage and in self-discovery through her identity as a woman, mother, daughter, wife…
She walks on solid ground as her grandfather was the renowned and beloved Latin American artist, Carlos Páez Vilaró, known and loved in all Latin America as widely as Picasso was to the world.
Demonstrating exceptional artistic talent from a young age, particularly in the realm of Cubism, Sofia’s life experiences in countries like Spain, Italy, the US, and Uruguay have significantly influenced her artistic vision. Her role as a mother has enriched her narrative and infused her work with dedication and to serve as an example.
The past two years 2022/23 have marked a significant chapter in Sofía’s career, with participation in prestigious international exhibitions and fairs, including the International Contemporary Art Fair in Paris and recently inaugurated OMSA Gallery’s first exhibit, Female Figuratively, demonstrating interest in her work by a broad viewer base.
Sofia’s work gained global attention when showcased at the esteemed European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona (MEAM), giving some of her signature pieces provenance. She has also exhibited at the Louvre Carrousel in Paris and more recently has been selected to be part of the pivotal Women in the Arts Biennial in London, UK for September 2024.
What distinguishes her art is the fresh palette blende and rendered with Neo-Cubist elements from a contemporary female perspective, challenging artistic conventions. Working from her studio in Barcelona, Spain, Sofía is passionate about exploring themes of unity, honesty, and love in her work, reflecting her personal narrative, and underscoring the importance of these values in her life, to be in turn, reflected in her art.
Her commitment to exploring new perspectives, positions Sofía as a promising figure in the contemporary art landscape, continually exploring new horizons. She is an artist to watch closely.

Adrian Avila's technique and ability to convey complete narrative scenes using light and color are his hallmarks.
Born in 1989 in Holguin, Cuba, he spent his childhood years there before moving to South Florida, where his passion for visual expression took root.
He honed his skills at the New World School of the Arts and earned a scholarship to the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
It was here that Adrian developed disciplined craftsmanship and a keen artistic eye that quickly attracted the attention of industry giants like Disney and Warner Brothers, fostering a professional dedication that defines his approach to work today.
In the early 2000s, Adrian was drawn to Miami’s Wynwood Art District, where he established his base. By the age of 34, he had become a prominent figure in the street art scene, creating over 28 captivating murals worldwide and gaining national and international attention from collectors.
With a nod to the Pre-Raphaelites, art nouveau, and the neo-classical imagery of Maxfield Parrish, Adrian evokes light with a precise, almost sublime intensity. Through the female form, he seeks to challenge conventional perceptions of female representation in art.
Adrian crafts a visual narrative that celebrates women’s empowerment, aiming to inspire societal transformation and renewal for both sexes.
His philosophical approach imbues his work with a mysticism that transcends the visual, creating an aura of beauty beyond the paint.

More infoCapturing the essence of being female through a prism of intrigue, humor, and absurdity, Patricia Schnall Gutierrez offers a fresh perspective on the narratives that shape women’s lives. She believes that women have been oversimplified and misrepresented throughout eras in media and art history. Navigating the illusion between past and present, Patricia creates a contemporary chronicle of life interwoven with memories of joy, sorrow, growth, and introspection.
These emotions, she contends, need not be simplified, as they occur simultaneously in the lives of individuals. Themes of identity, feminine roles, child rearing, and aging are used as threads in the weaving of her own experiences.
Patricia’s feminine-based approach extends beyond drawing and painting to include sculpture, installation, performance, and film. While her drawing and painting are intentionally calculated, her sculptures and installations are freely associative, exploring what it means to be feminine. Her performances and films poetically capture collective female consciousness, recording the stories of herself and women in her community. By layering materials and objects, she draws viewers into deliberate dialogues that probe questions about female roles and experiences.
To witness Patricia approach her work is to see a consummate artist in action. As if in dialogue, she is a dancer, or method actor, stepping up to and into the piece. She intently focuses while making sweeping gestures, brushing away strokes, and returning to diligently render a still image. A still image, yes, but with so much movement, it is as if not only her intent, but also her body is in the very body of her work.
Patricia follows and breaks convention at the junction between those two seemingly opposing forces, offering a perspective uniquely culled from her years as a keen observer of life around her and her own experiences through art. In her world, the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, infusing the everyday with unexpected twists.
This transformation is a testament to her multidisciplinary approach, which considers the relationship of material, process, and outcome. Her selection of mediums and methods, both used independently and combined, translates into questions and reflections on the diverse facets of being female in a world nuanced with challenges. Her work addresses the need for society to honor women fiercely for their many roles.

2017
Light affects our individual perception of color, that we know, but in Janet Siegel Rogers’ luminous, glowing pieces, our perception alters the light. Janet’s extensive experimentation to find the perfect medium for her exploration of color brought her to discover that beeswax mixed in oil paint serves to suspend the pigment, and our disbelief.
Our first impression is the absolute jewel of hues, shining in the light, until we are drawn in and find a lineless, formless fractal of sorts, where the color folds in upon itself in waves. Her pigments appear to be suspended, surrounded by light at the face and behind each brushstroke as the wax keeps it buoyant within the layers. Depending on the angle we see the brushstroke and how it relates to the light.
It took her years to discover this ancient technique of the use of encaustic, which allows for the creation of rich textures and layers, giving an artwork a three-dimensional quality. When she paints it is as if she carves gently into the wax, building up the layers with her brush.
Janet’s life experiences have naturally influenced her work, notably her six years in the Far East, which impacted her aesthetic sensibilities. Former Executive Director for the Boca Museum of Art, George S. Bolge, remarked, “Her art is the result of a loving and shrewd reading not only of life and of the old masters, but of modernism as well, and it lies in direct linear descent from the art of Monet, Bonnard, Klee, and Rothko.”
But she also conjures the color interactions of Josef Albers, the color fields of the abstract expressionists and by stressing the absolute relativity of color, her work enriches our viewing, the experience we have in our world, and ultimately our sense of who we are.
Like Albers, Janet was a distinguished educator. For 45 years, from kindergarten through graduate school, she shared space for color exploration. She established the Advanced Placement Studio Art program for the Performing & Visual Arts School of Broward County, and was named Broward County Arts Educator of the Year. She served as a Studio Art Consultant to the College Board, and was an art education delegate for Eisenhower’s program for cultural exchange, People to People. She travelled to Egypt, Israel, Turkey, and China through this Citizens Ambassador Program.
Janet holds three degrees: a B.A., M.A., and an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Her work is collected internationally and nationally and is in the permanent collections of museums, including the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, and the Hollywood Art & Culture Center.
“I do not paint what people see but I hope people see what I paint.” –Janet Siegel Rogers.

Alberto Cavalieri, born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1969, is renowned for his monumental sculptures and public works integrated into architectural forms. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Metropolitana University, Industrial Design at the Villasmil Art Center, and sculpture at the Federico Brandt Art Institute. In 1993, Alberto began his art career, and in 2016, he relocated to Miami, where he currently resides and works.
Alberto’s oxidized sculptures and digital drawings explore the paradox between form and matter and the duality between a material’s essence and its visual possibilities. He often creates medium-sized to monumental heavy metal shapes that appear as a single swirling, whimsical, and organic knot or oversized string-like forms that seem to levitate.
Alberto’s work challenges the laws of physics by contrasting the rigidness of metal with the organic quality of his shapes, highlighting the tension between human constructs and nature.
Alberto’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Sculpture Biennale in Guadalajara, Mexico, the National Art Biennale in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas, and the Municipal Modern Art Museum in Cuenca, Ecuador.
His works are part of various public and private collections in Spain, Venezuela, the US, and Ecuador, such as the Museum of Latin American Art in California, the Polytechnic University in Valencia, Spain, and the Ciudad Banesco Collection in Caracas.

Jenny Perez has created a style which reflects the energy of street art while illustrating her admiration for formal abstraction. The imagery found in her most recent body of work represents the shadows of her past, and the whispers of her forward journey, as she commands it. The titles of her paintings lend even more dimension as simple observations, poetic markers, and almost indicators of change.
A strongly driven Caribbean-American artist, from the Dominican Republic, Jenny paints with a zest for exploration, relentlessly reworking and editing, with an inexhaustible preoccupation with the idea of process as a focal point. Her beginnings as a painter centered around her daily observations of Miami’s golden age of street art in the early 2000s. Being heavily influenced by this burgeoning scene along with friendships established with key street artists, Jenny has taken her learned skills and carried them into the formal studio setting, creating a stylized, electric and experimental language all her own.
Jenny’s current body of work explores tints and shades of rich color brushed onto biomorphic shaped canvases. Therein lies the contrast: in the pushing and pulling, breaking and putting back together, she creates volumes of spatial perception encompassing a composition in motion. There is movement and still points on which to rest in her work, which commingle to voice her vision of what was, what is, and what she desires to come.
Her inspiration behind the collection initiated with the shape of the canvas itself as she had custom made the sculptural forms that hark back to those of Victorian aristocratic portraits. There are even hints of the rich, dark palettes used to paint the refined, composed and dignified, noble men and women of those years privileged enough to be immortalized on canvas.
At the same time, her paintings are a love note to her own heritage, celebrating women of color in their own right and royalty. She bestows upon each of her paintings a tender abstraction to render them universal, both in time and space.

Jenny Perez has created a style which reflects the energy of street art while illustrating her admiration for formal abstraction. The imagery found in her most recent body of work represents the shadows of her past, and the whispers of her forward journey, as she commands it. The titles of her paintings lend even more dimension as simple observations, poetic markers, and almost indicators of change.
A strongly driven Caribbean-American artist, from the Dominican Republic, Jenny paints with a zest for exploration, relentlessly reworking and editing, with an inexhaustible preoccupation with the idea of process as a focal point. Her beginnings as a painter centered around her daily observations of Miami’s golden age of street art in the early 2000s. Being heavily influenced by this burgeoning scene along with friendships established with key street artists, Jenny has taken her learned skills and carried them into the formal studio setting, creating a stylized, electric and experimental language all her own.
Jenny’s current body of work explores tints and shades of rich color brushed onto biomorphic shaped canvases. Therein lies the contrast: in the pushing and pulling, breaking and putting back together, she creates volumes of spatial perception encompassing a composition in motion. There is movement and still points on which to rest in her work, which commingle to voice her vision of what was, what is, and what she desires to come.
Her inspiration behind the collection initiated with the shape of the canvas itself as she had custom made the sculptural forms that hark back to those of Victorian aristocratic portraits. There are even hints of the rich, dark palettes used to paint the refined, composed and dignified, noble men and women of those years privileged enough to be immortalized on canvas.
At the same time, her paintings are a love note to her own heritage, celebrating women of color in their own right and royalty. She bestows upon each of her paintings a tender abstraction to render them universal, both in time and space.

A fifth-generation artist on his mother’s side, Johan nonetheless began his first creative direction into rock and roll music from a young age.
What followed was a long and successful career as a keyboardist and singer, touring with Ian Hunter, Graham Parker, Mick Ronson and many Scandinavian artists. However, after 18 years, the rock and roll life began to wear on him and Johan decided to let go and move to a small village in France and dedicated himself to painting for the following seven years.
A portion of that time under the tutelage of Swedish artist, Lennart Nystrom, Johan began to find his voice. The dark narrative paintings of heads and torsos were inspired by cryptic, often ironic social critiques that he collected on scraps of paper in his studio.
Johan now lives and works in Jersey City, NJ, USA. Beginning in 1998, Johan’s works have been exhibited across Europe and the USA in solo and group shows with artists the likes of Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Santiago Sierra, Erwin Olaf, Picasso, Salvador Dali, Jake & Dinos Chapman, and David Salle.
Johan’s paintings are radical constructs that captivate our senses using nature’s tools, offering a liberating experience through their enchanting perceptual play of now light, now brilliant wavelengths measured before us in 2D.
