Spring Path on Ebenezer, Abstract Oil Painting
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Ronda Waiksnis presents an abstract landscape with soft neutral tones. She paints with expressive strokes, capturing the essence of spring with minimal representation. “In this painting, I’ve put together subtle but energetic colors with bold painterly brushstrokes for a lively view,†says Ronda. The clouds float through the sky, adding to the landscape’s movement.
About the Artist
Ronda Waiksnis captures abstracted, atmospheric movement through her direct application painting process. Rarely using brushes, she applies heavy layers of paint with large palette knives and other tools, shifting the oil paint instinctively. Ronda is inspired by her natural surroundings and strives to capture the mood of any given day. The artist uses muted earth tones and receding horizon lines to demonstrate depth, conveying the transient sky or evanescent reflections in water with expressive feeling. Ronda aims to make art that is emotive and visceral, organic and unrefined. She is passionate about the endless possibilities for innovation that being an artist offers.

Florero Nocturno - Nightime floral abstract painting, Magical Realism, Colombian
By Alfredo Aya
Located in New York, NY
This dreamlike painting, "Florero Nocturno" (Nighttime Flowers), evokes a sense of quiet contemplation. The muted palette of greys, purples, and blues blends harmoniously with the soft glow of diffused light, creating an atmosphere of peaceful introspection. The abstracted flowers, blurred by the stillness of night, add an ethereal quality that makes the piece ideal for creating a tranquil space in living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks. The subtle transitions of color and shadow evoke the magical realism often seen in Colombian art, offering a delicate balance between the familiar and the abstract.
The mystical, fluid quality of this piece, influenced by Odilon Redon, adds depth and sophistication to any interior. Its introspective tone, softened by the interplay of light and shadow, invites viewers to pause and reflect. Whether displayed as a focal point in modern or transitional spaces, this painting brings timeless beauty to the room.
Aya was born in Paris in 1954 and after studying in Paris and Switzerland he moved to Colombia in his late teens. He lives and works in Bogota'.

"Antique Gold/White " T4RK9, Abstract, 21st Century, Acrylic, Clay
By Roger König
Located in Dessau-Rosslau, Sachsen Anhalt
Artist: Roger König b. Dessau, Germany (1968) Master student of Kurt Schönburg, HWK Halle, Germany.
König combines modern painting with acrylic with old techniques and in this way, he connects contemporary art with tradition. The natural clay color bestows the pictures with a completely special dim texture which stands in an exciting contrast with the delicate luster of the acrylic color. The features of the clay color allow a more intensive treatment of the surface. Often, there are lines, scratches or breaks in the surface, as if the canvas had been covered with a fair patina. More subtle strokes in the color bring graphic characters to mind, color gradients natural phenomena, divided canvasses the contrast which is immanent in everything: the principle of yin and yan.
Roger König's works are in private collections worldwide. His admirers include leading figures in international business, film and media.
