Interview with Alexandra Mekhanik
How would you describe yourself and your artwork? Clearly readable minimalism and harmony in everything. Dignity is highly appreciated in my heart. About myself,.. open hearted, easygoing and understanding. My credo is “treat others as you want to be treated”.
Jonatan Alfaro
In my paintings, the contrasted colors, colliding head on, reign supreme. In delicately expressed, tenuous settings , I let things appear. They are evocative settings, which can be associated with the landscape, although it is a personal landscape, fractured and torn, in which we see intriguing openings. They are like a fleeting punctuation that opens up onto unknown panoramas. In these we see architectonic deviations that allow us to perceive corners and far-off, complicated settings.
Vanessa Niederstrasser
Vanessa is driven by a inner demand of exercising painting daily.
Her theme developed when she moved to America from Germany in 2011, where she immediately noticed the triangle and diamond shapes that are used as warning and caution signs here.
Kevin A. Rausch
Intense in raw imagery and intrinsically timeless in nature, the work of Kevin Rausch serves as a patchwork narrative, weaving together stories and scenes in a rich capturing of contemplative moments that waver just on the verge of concrete recognition. Monumental in scale, Rausch’s large format paintings depict far-away panoramas, distinct in their complex layering and astounding physicality, and the beings that wander continuously amongst them.
Interview with Gabi Domenig
Where do you get your inspiration from? The inspirations for my pictures meet me everywhere. In the media, such as film, television and (music) videos, on the Internet, on trips, in newspapers, books, in pictures and texts and in the flow of life itself. My main theme was always the woman. I want to show women in their size and uniqueness consciously and thus to pay respect to those who still do not get enough despite the great daily work. If I was not a painter, I would certainly be involved in women's and children's rights policies.
Interview with Jane Theodore

V., of Holland. Theodore’s paintings are spontaneous explorations of gesture, form and colour. Compositions are revealed as paint is added and subtracted, scratched and scraped, revealing what lies beneath. The paintings’ foundation is high-intensity colour, and invites an intuitive and visceral reaction.

Interview with Jocelyn Teng
I was born in Taipei, raised in Vancouver and now live in Toronto. I discovered my passion for art, design and music from my artistic parents. Between music and fashion, I chose to pursue a fashion degree at the age of sixteen.
My pieces are reflections of my emotions and beliefs that have kept me doing what I love to do, to create. I want to continue to dream… to progress and find fulfillment; to live in a simple and beautiful state.
Interview with Alan Beckstead
My paintings reflect SF Pride participants from 2010 forward. They represent a period when California Proposition 8 was overturned and the Supreme Court opened up the rights to marriage for all 50 states. It was something I never imagined would happen in my lifetime A true celebration of the progress for equality. Every Americans’ dream and rightful expectation. The works also capture the sadness but solidarity from the Orlando Pulse tragedy. A reminder that in many ways we still face the same intolerance from the 70’s.
Interview with Diamante Lavendar
I am an author and artist. I’ve won awards for both my art and my writing. Since I was a young child, I’ve loved books and art which has carried into my adult life. I’ve always enjoyed the symbolic and visceral attributes of being an artist. I believe art is something one is born with-a desire to create visual pieces from intellectual/emotional attachments and observations. I see all forms of art as being expressed offerings from the artists themselves; a way to help understand and empathize with things of an intellectual and spiritual nature in the world around us.
Interview with Cheryl Polcaro
