This series explores the profound connection between humanity and nature, where the boundaries between the two dissolves into a harmonious whole. Set on transparent plexiglass and finished with crushed crystals and glass, each piece reflects the raw beauty and intricate textures of the natural world, inviting the viewer to see themselves as an extension of it.

Wuilfredo Soto a native of Venezuela his artistic discourse of Wuilfredo Soto rest in the concept of abstraction, expressed in works with movement and optical perceptions.
To do this, it builds structures with geometric figures that through repetitions end in successive and perfectly balanced constructions.
The system that Wuilfredo Soto generally uses is based on sequences and progressions developed on all four sides of the surface of space. So, each form is closely linked to a whole and its relationships depend on a previously established system. These optical structures create a visual impact and establish a connection with the viewer.
As an artist I consider myself passionate when making installations with non-traditional materials on the surface without losing the spirituality of the work in its creation, which can produce movement or light.
Through fractal geometric compositions, it creates simple plane transformations on the surface, transforming the initial pattern through repetitions into a new image and providing an expression of dimension in space and time.

In my paintings, the “dreamers” tirelessly search for their dreams on the path of life that is often unknown to them but may lead to freedom and peace in another reality. My works encapsulate the world we live in today: the protests, the students marching together, united. They never give up and they are unified in their search for answers."

started photography in 1999, and since then, I have been passionate about it.  The camera is an extension of my body and helps me see the world with different eyes.  As an artist, it is very gratifying to be able to transmit part of yourself to the spectator.
DECONSTRUCTING TREES invites us to flow and let ourselves be carried away into a world of geometry and color, of abstraction and definition, of construction and
deconstruction. This artwork is composed of 144 rotating panels that the spectator can arrange as he pleases. On one side, you can see a “tree” formed by fragments of different trees from every continent of the world in different seasons; and on the other side, you can see the geometric abstraction of every photograph. The work invites you to keep moving, not to stand still, to flow, to gradually discover what lies behind each piece, to interact, making the spectator a protagonist in it.

Eduardo Dayan, born in Mexico, embarked on his photographic journey in 1999. Since then, photography has become his passion—an extension of his being that allows him to see the world through a unique lens. As an artist, he finds great fulfillment in conveying a part of himself to the viewer.
His three greatest pleasures in life—travel, photography, and architecture—seamlessly intertwine in his work. He delights in creatively blending these elements, capturing the magic of new places waiting to be discovered.
“Photography, as we know, is not something true. It’s an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.” — Arnold Newman
Dayan’s work does not seek to portray reality but to interpret it artistically. Photography, by nature, is never truly objective. Contrary to the idea that it merely replicates the world as it is, the camera reveals alternate perspectives and hidden dimensions.
In his artwork, light takes center stage. It paints over a blank canvas, forming shapes, colors, and textures that transcend reality. Time, too, becomes fluid—a photograph need not capture just an instant but can encompass a series of moments and movements, offering more than what meets the eye.
This body of work invites the viewer to move, to explore, to interact—to become an integral part of the experience. It is a living entity, pulsating in harmony with its observer, constantly evolving in meaning and perception.

"Mirage" explores the ethereal nature of perception and illusion. Created with multiple layers of rich blue acrylic paint and infused with shimmering metallic powder, this artwork captures the elusive quality of a fleeting vision. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, inviting viewers to engage with the work on both a visual and emotional level.

The layered technique mirrors the complexity of reality, where what we see is often shaped by our own interpretations. The vibrant blue hues evoke feelings of tranquility and introspection, while the metallic accents add a dreamlike quality, reminiscent of a mirage shimmering on the horizon.

As viewers stand before "Mirage," they are prompted to reflect on their own experiences and the illusions we encounter in our lives. This piece serves as a reminder that beauty can often be found in the transient and the ephemeral, encouraging us to embrace the moments that captivate our imagination.

"The Gilded" embodies opulence and complexity, exuding a quiet, reverent aura that invites viewers to explore its depths.

Her eyes, framed in intricate gold filigree and adorned with gemstones, hold a mysterious wisdom.
Draped in gold and surrounded by soft pink roses and butterflies, she symbolizes admiration, transformation, and freedom. This juxtaposition raises the question: is she a prisoner of her allure or a catalyst for change?
With a captivating gaze, she challenges viewers to see beyond her beauty and delve into her soul. Created within the context of transcendental feminism, the artwork critiques traditional societal roles, revealing the woman's internal world that defies domestication.
The ornate filigree represents societal constraints, while the roses and butterflies signify resilience and the potential for transformation. "The Gilded" reflects the dichotomy of femininity, prompting contemplation on the complexities of womanhood and the unspoken stories behind every gaze.

Alejandro Rauhut’s "Layers of Self" series explores the complexities of human existence by depicting the various dimensions of the self—physical, energetic, mental, knowledgeable, and spiritual. Each artwork features a unique inner geometry that is split in half, representing the duality inherent within us. Utilizing light boxes with infinite mirrors, Rauhut creates an illusion of boundless depth, inviting viewers to delve into the vastness of their own being. Framed in natural wood, each piece incorporates sacred geometries that enhance the visual experience, symbolizing the journey towards discovering our true essence. Through these works, Rauhut prompts us to reflect on our identities, encouraging a deeper connection with our inner selves beyond mere appearances.

Beauty isn’t just in the surface, it’s in the quiet strength, the unspoken power, the soul beneath the skin.
Very brushstroke, every layer of blue whispers a story of resilience, softness and confidence intertwined.
Her blue velvet skin adds a surreal and mysterious quality to her beauty, drawing into her world.
True Beauty needs no embellishment, it exists in the way we carry ourselves, the energy we exude, and the quiet power we hold.

Marianella Blasini, an emerging artist from Caracas, Venezuela, now based in Miami, Florida, merges her architectural background with skills in graphic design and sculpture to create minimalistic, geometric, and modern artwork. She reinterprets traditional themes through a contemporary lens, drawing inspiration from both classical and modern influences.

A significant influence on her practice is Diego Velázquez’s iconic Meninas. Blasini modernizes this classical masterpiece to explore themes of perspective, identity, and the passage of time, reimagining its figures and elements to resonate with today’s visual language.

In her art, lines serve as a dynamic language that brings form to life. Her compositions balance static and dynamic elements, where each stroke narrates transformation. Strategic use of gradients adds depth and volume, allowing viewers to feel the energy and fluidity of the piece. The lines flow and intertwine, evoking movement and emotion, creating a contemplative experience that reflects life’s continuous evolution.

Blasini’s use of digital imagery printed on Plexiglas, combined with intervening threads, adds texture and three-dimensionality, making her work feel alive. The threads guide the viewer’s eye, enhancing the physical presence of art. This blend of smooth digital forms and tactile threads results in a captivating, multi-dimensional experience that encourages both visual and tactile engagement.
Through her seamless integration of traditional and digital media, Marianella Blasini invites viewers to reflect on transformation, identity, and the perpetual motion of life while offering a rich sensory experience.

Statement
Art, for me, has always been a continuous process of exploration. I engage in multiple investigations simultaneously or focus on one or two at a time. I explore color and its interactions, the fluidity and movement inherent in glass, and the transformation of textile qualities into this medium. Light, too, is a constant source of inquiry.
My background in architecture allows me to seamlessly integrate my sculptures and installations into architectural spaces.

Born in El Salvador, Evelyn's connection to nature and the arts was nurtured from a young age.
She explored a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, pastels, and metal embossing, before discovering her true passion for photography.
Having lived across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Evelyn finds endless inspiration in the natural world. The intricate textures, the surreal beauty of the sky, the elegance of the animal kingdom, and the vastness of the universe all influence her artistic vision.
Her multicultural and multifaceted experiences lend depth and richness to her work. Through her photography, Evelyn embarks on a visual journey, capturing fleeting moments of grace, each image an invitation to pause, reflect, and feel, much like a delicate haiku poem.
In her Sublime Light series, Evelyn delves into the Lumen printing technique, a camera-less photographic process that uses photographic paper and natural light to reveal the essence of flowers. These ephemeral prints, untouched by digital manipulation, preserve nature’s soul.
Instead of fixing the prints with chemicals, she scans each image, allowing its transitory beauty to endure.
This camera-less approach invites viewers to see with new eyes, to feel beyond the surface, and to connect with nature’s purest essence. Like a visual poem, each image becomes a spiritual encounter, infusing her work with profound purpose and offering an intimate glimpse into the fleeting beauty of the natural world.

Born in India and nestled in the heart of New York, I try to paint in all kinds of mediums. My subjects have more to do with my personal experiences and the way I look at the world. I have been involved with fashion and lifestyle retailing all my life and I used to paint while I was a student as a hobby. Recently, I retired and started dabbling in the colors once again.

My art studio is a haven for those seeking a unique blend of modern, contemporary, and colorful abstracts to brighten their space and soul. As a self-trained artist, I bring forth a fusion of unconventional tools and mixed media, creating layered bursts of energy inspired by the world around me.
