About the Item
"I Am Not Alone" by Joshua Salami is a captivating artwork that delves into the profound bond between a woman and her cherished pet, transcending the conventional role of a companion. The piece skillfully captures the essence of the fundamental importance of pets as friends, emphasizing the unique and special connection shared between the two.
At the heart of the artwork is a portrayal of a lady immersed in a beautiful, strong, and appealing atmosphere, accompanied solely by her beloved pet. The scene not only celebrates the companionship of a pet but also elevates it to a level of deep emotional connection and understanding. The pet in focus isn't just any companion but holds the status of being the woman's favorite, to the extent that she affectionately refers to him as her "boyfriend."
This clever twist in the narrative adds layers of meaning to the artwork, emphasizing the strength of the bond and the intimate nature of the relationship. The choice of referring to the pet as a "boyfriend" goes beyond the ordinary and underscores the extent to which pets can become an integral part of one's life, providing not only companionship but also emotional support and understanding.
Salami's work skillfully captures the silent communication and mutual understanding that exists between the lady and her pet. The use of visual elements creates a narrative that resonates with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the unique and irreplaceable roles that pets can play in our lives. "I Am Not Alone" stands as a testament to the power of the human-animal bond and the comfort that can be found in the company of a beloved pet.

- Large Italian Modernist Surrealist Lady Mod Oil Painting "La Ragazza Ungherese"By Lazzaro DonatiLocated in Surfside, FLLazzaro Donati (Italian, 1926-1977), Framed oil painting "La Ragazza Ungherese" The Hungarian Girl. Dated 1961. Framed: 36.25 x 28.5 inches. In good condition. Lazzaro Donati was born in Florence and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence. Within three years eleven exhibitions followed in Italy, and as his reputation grew he was invited to give major exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. He is considered one of the foremost contemporary Italian painters and his paintings hang in museums and private collections throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His work i faucist recalling the works of the french Raoul Dufy, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Francois Gall and jean Jansem. Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door. Once inside, the present faded away and you found yourself in an atelier where early masters might have worked during the Renaissance. Within, luxurious Persian rugs set off the innumerable objects d’art and antique furnishings. Light poured in through the sloping glass wall on the north side. A dramatic stairway led to an overhanging balcony which served as a private gallery where the artist hung some of his favorite early works. To the left of the entrance was a smaller studio where Donati sculpted, with a window overlooking the famous old English cemetery where tourists laid flowers on the grave of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In the main studio itself, where Donati received his clients in an atmosphere as polished as an office of a top executive, one hardly realized that it was here that the artist actually painted. His easel was covered with Persian blue velvet, the painting on the easel was already framed, his chair was upholstered in red velvet and on his palette the colors were arranged with the precision of a Byzantine mosaic. In a corner stand were his latest works, framed and ready to be sent off to his next exhibition in Europe or America. He spoke fluent French and English as well as some Spanish and German. “After all”, he said, “you've got to know how to sell...Category

- Home FireBy Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "HOME FIRE OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED CUBAN-AMERICAN, C.2006 20 X 16 INCHES Home Fire" brings me back to my childhood home when my grandpa visited us every day smoking his pipe and conversing good moments. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...Category
