  M A T T E O   T R I S O L I N I I was born and raised in Italy and always found myself out of place wherever I ended up, except for that time in 1996 when I (for the first time) landed in NYC. It was just a family trip celebrating my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Little they knew, by taking me on that trip they had changed my life. I spent the next 4 years finding ways to make NYC my home. The journey involved a few years in Milan studying photography at the European Institute of Design (IED) where I was able to win a scholarship to attend School of Visual Arts (SVA) in NYC. Useless to mention, I never left NY. After graduating and moving to NY I worked as a commercial photographer for clients like Simon & Schuster, Elements Magazine while I was creating work for celebrities, musicians and artists. I exhibited my personal work in NYC, Philippines, Italy and Japan with a sweet highlight for the Venice Biennial when I was a student at IED. Everything came to a stop...

  Rene Farias I am a Cuban artist living in Miami I like to explore the human eroticism and break taboos and stereotypes. There is no better way to assert ideas than through art. Mermaids, minotaurs, fairies, snakes, butterflies; recurring elements in my work that serve to accentuate the contrast between masculine strength and the fragility and delicacy that nature and mythology offer us.

  Brenden Sanborn Brenden Sanborn, an artist hailing from South Florida, has dedicated over two decades of his life to the exploration and celebration of the human figure. Not confined to a single medium, Brenden has cultivated a versatile portfolio that encompasses watercolors, oils, acrylics, and even digital art created with Procreate. This variety of mediums is a testament to Brenden's adaptability and adventurous spirit as an artist. For him, painting is more than merely arranging lines and shapes on a canvas; it's a spiritual journey that delves deep into the human condition, expressing realms of sensitivity, passion, tenderness, and vulnerability that often go unseen. The human form, to him, is a vessel of strength, humility, and sensuality, and he expertly captures these traits through his art. Inviting his audience on an enlightening journey, Brenden captures the subtle emotional undertones of each subject through their body language. The slight tilt of the head, the c...

  GIANCARLO  BALISCIANO  Since I can remember, I’ve always been attracted to Art and tried to express myself artistically. Growing up in Italy in a Military family where everyone excelled in everything besides Art was challenging. Still, I found a way to express myself in school, where my favorite academic subjects were Art and Music (where I always excelled). I discovered my love for photography at a very early age taking pictures with my father’s camera. My father initially supported me until I became serious with it, and this is when he made me stop. My decision to apply to an Art institute was quickly killed as well by my father (because of his narrow view of life), and he pushed me to find a more profitable career path. The only thing I enjoyed (artistically enough) was cooking. So, I joined a culinary school and became a chef. The best part of being a chef was that it allowed me to work and travel worldwide. My life after leaving Italy became very diverse,...
