All in Painting
My name is Ernestine Haidenkummer, I am an Austrian artist and live in the city of Kapfenberg in Styria. In 2006, as a self-taught artist, I discovered my love and passion for painting. I paint everything I like, from abstract to representational, from portraits to erotic pictures and I love painting cubism pictures in my own style and the black and white checkerboard patterns in my pictures have now become recognizable. I am also involved in sculpture construction.

"Everyone is an artist, sometimes, even without knowing it." I use these words to describe my life and my free spirit in a few words. I am Marco Grechi, aka Mark, and in everyday encounters I look for what is beautiful and makes life lighter.
My digital art images reflect my fascination with the beauty of colors and the moods and emotions they evoke. Highly stylized cityscapes and seascapes are subjects I often turn to for their vibrance and dynamic atmospheres. Creative layering of the original photography, colorful elements, rich textures and other effects allow me to add complexity and a depth to my art.
Whatever I see, listen to and feel infiltrates into my inner world and turns up later in my pictures. My wish is to convey joy and happiness to the people or in other words simply to make their life to be more beautiful.
Even in my early works, I was looking for a way to reach all people in the world with my thoughts, which I only managed with a figurative representation, because abstract painting meant Christ and salami with the same image and only confirmed the viewer's world of thoughts. My painting could not be limited to figurative painting but could not be inferior to the freedom of abstract painting. I also considered the surreal style, but it goes far in the direction I want to take people, but not quite there. So, I looked for a solution, which I found in symbolism.
Fine artist Celeste Friesen grew up in Winnipeg, Canada and has lived in various places across Canada and the USA. Following a business career, she located to the north-eastern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a spectacular setting which provides much inspiration for her paintings.
Raymond Quenneville is a self-taught artist who has been painting for over 50 years. In 1992, after having explored a variety of media, he went back to oil painting, and decided to pursue his own unique style in expressing landscape and light.
In my art, the interplay and exploration of the boundaries of what belongs to being human is a personally important theme for me. our way of tee I try to counteract this often senseless activity through my actions. our careless treatment of nature and creation are my driving forces and my innermost need to express this in the most diverse forms
Aase-Hilde Brekke's works embody a synthesis of geographical identity and spiritual exploration. Raised in the village of Misvær in Nordland County, Norway, Brekke’s early connection to the raw, imposing landscapes of the North profoundly informs her artistic sensibility. Her photographs, such as those in the "My Power Mountain" series, resonate with the Nordic sublime: stark horizons, muted tones, and the pervasive silence of nature’s immensity. Yet, her art does not merely document the natural world. It refracts it through the lens of personal memory, spiritual inquiry, and cultural symbiosis
Rita Schoonmaker’s work is an important contribution to the contemporary art scene, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its philosophical depth. At a time when abstraction often risks becoming formulaic, Schoonmaker’s work feels fresh and deeply personal. Her commitment to exploration and her refusal to settle into a single style or theme ensure that her work remains dynamic and engaging.
RIKXECOM’s oeuvre emerges as a luminous jewel in the constellation of contemporary art, fusing the tactile with the visual and carving out a philosophical niche that resonates deeply with viewers. In the tradition of groundbreaking modernists such as Gustav Klimt, whose shimmering golden mosaics revolutionized the visual language of the early 20th century, RIKXECOM takes the aesthetic and material experimentation of his forebears into the digital age, embedding layers of narrative, emotion, and exploration into his textured, radiant surfaces.
Nora Komoroczki, who paints under the name Mano, emerges as a singular force in contemporary art, combining technical mastery, philosophical depth, and an intuitive connection to the natural and human world. With over four decades of experience as an oil painter, the Budapest-based artist’s body of work reflects a dedication to the exploration of light, memory, and environmental stewardship. Mano’s oeuvre positions her as both a guardian of tradition and a beacon of innovation within the art world. By interweaving her artistic sensibilities with a profound ecological awareness, she offers not only beauty but also a poignant message about the fragility and vitality of life on Earth.
Hudson Bruny describes his artistic journey as one that "transcends the confines of form and time," an aspiration that is richly apparent in his work. Each painting and drawing becomes a metaphysical endeavor, diving into "the impenetrable to grasp the impossible." His art invites viewers to a realm of "nothingness," but not in the nihilistic sense. Instead, Bruny’s abstractions gesture toward potentiality—a fertile nothingness from which new ideas, emotions, and social dialogues emerge.
Michael Kaphengst’s artistry emerges from the crucible of personal history, philosophical introspection, and a defiant embrace of unconventional methods. His latest collection, “SOUND”—created in the style of “EXTREME LINEARISM”—is both a testament to his creative ingenuity and a profound meditation on the nature of auditory experience and silence. Through these works, Kaphengst’s innovative approach to linearity, combined with his evocative use of line, color, and symbolism, articulates a visual language that captures the ineffable essence of sound and its philosophical implications.
Mari Kempf’s art captivates through its unique ability to convey emotion and form in perfect harmony. Her work is deeply textural, with layers of paint transforming the canvas into a tactile landscape that beckons the viewer to explore beyond the surface. The intricate use of texture provides a visceral connection to her pieces, making them feel alive and dynamic. This physicality, combined with her use of acrylics, demonstrates an intuitive understanding of how materials can evoke both emotion and depth.
At the heart of Bo Kravchenko’s art is a preoccupation with place—not just as a physical locale, but as an emotional and metaphysical concept. His paintings capture the essence of landscapes while transcending their geographic specificity. They evoke a sense of longing, solitude, and quiet resilience, all filtered through his masterful use of light and texture.
All my art i am creating from my deep of the soul, it is a New Age fashion with a touch of impressionism. I was participating in many Galleries in Israel and all over the world including the Florence Biennale, the ARTXPO N.Y and Miami and many gallery's in Europe and NY. All my art is an original oil painting that describe the love between all the Humanity, Nature and animals.
Friedhard Meyer stamps the unmixed, thick acrylic base paints directly onto the canvas using a soft "eraser" cut to a diameter of 7 mm. The result is color patterns with great luminosity. To further enhance the luminosity, Friedhard Meyer frames and connects the color dots with black lines of thin acrylic paint using a very fine hair brush. This process takes place over many hours in rhythmic circular movements and requires a "certain mood," i.e. the willingness to fully embrace the difficulties of this process. This is not always possible on demand.
In my work I use a wide range of different ideas, inspired usually by my surroundings. The common thread is that the images I create always tell a story. Often triggered by simple observation of my immediate surroundings, I love the challenge of an unusual composition and the capture of the diversity of light in the various places where I find myself. Living in Wyoming, I am never short of inspiration on that front. My landscapes, are usually completed in my studio with the help of numerous sketches drawn in situ, photographs and notes. The final result is an image which evokes a mood and I hope conveys what I felt at the time rather than a faithful representation of the landscape in front of me.
