Frameless. Is born in Madrid on the 21st july 1951. After attending primary school, he starts to grow an enormous tendency for drawing. At the age of 14 he begins to work in advertising and attends to the Vallecas school of arts. At the age of 14 he travels to Switzerland and in Geneve he gets intensly into painting and decides to dedicate himself only to it. When he returns to Spain he enrolls Arts Studies, and at the begining of summer '66, he visits Sitges, where he'll come back year after year and where ultimately he'll set his home. At this time he starts selling his painting in the flea market in Madrid and later in Sitges, setting himself on the street, thus completing his studies and making it economically. While he's in Madrid he recives lessons by Pedro Mozas at Bellas Artes and starts to learn profoundly about painting. In 1969 he starts painting portraits in the streets. In Sitges he creates, with other friends, a great artistic atmosphere in the Paseo de la Ribera, by the sea, that today still exists. He starts travelling through Europe, visiting and painting in Paris, London and Amsterdam. In the middle of this bohemian epoque, he moves to the Cannary Islands during the winters for 5 years in a row, he moves in the Parque de Santa Catalina "Las Palmas de Gran Canaria" where he works and meet all sorts of people in the streets, which later would mark his pictoric line. He becomes friend with Sidney Nagley in 1969, who organizes his first exhibition in Toronto, Canada. Afterwards he'll leave his studies and start painting exclusively in his studio. He gathers his first exhibition in the Ateneu of Barcelona in 1970. He befriends with the art critic of La Vanguardia, Fernando Gutierrez and the Count of Caralt orders him a set of illustration for a new edition of Garcia Lorcas Romancero Gitano. His first exhibition in a commercial gallery is done in the Majestic Gallery in Barcelona with a gorgeous collection of nudity drawings. He achieves huge success and for some years he affords his painting thanks to those drawings. During a period in Madrid, Mr Ponce de León, a consul in the Ministry of Exterior Affairs grants him with bachelor degree to study in the prestigious Academia de España in Rome. However, he can't accept it due to militar service obligations. Some days later, before joining the ranks he opens in the Cuatre Gats (Palma de Mallorca) with hiperrealist pieces that already then he presented as the first painter in that city, that later would become a fashion in 1973. After this period he meets José Maria Gudiol who advises positively. Since then, the intense work and the fight for daily improvement that has become the trademark of his life. The seek of styles and situations, the journeys through Europe always aware of all the tendencies that have in the art line that we can see nowadays. At his more than fifty years given to paint, his individual exhibitions beat the 100, his artwork is highly appreciated and valued in the complex market of art. In October 1982 hi makes his first exhibition in Tarragona. In the catalogue, writing of the unforgettable Fernando Gutierrez, he says "Fuentetaja is an artist of character and exceptional upbringing with a masterly knowledge of technique and resourses, and personality completely uncommon to the dimension of his sensitivity, as the richness of his deep and bloomed liricism. A judgement as accurate as foreseeing for the future outstanding of the artist, in where his paint soared through different phases mantaining an unquestionable quality. Lines, cubist, expressionist and hiperrealist till his current realism, in the middle of his creative maturity. Jose Luis Fuentetaja...

Clyde Steadman's "Following?" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts an impasto portrait of a female model ascending a staircase.

This contemporary figurative oil painting depicting two women was created by French artist Natalya Mougenot. The artwork, titled I Will Always Stand by Your Side, presents a poignant and emotionally charged scene, capturing the intimate embrace of two women. The painting reflects the artist's roots and cultural background, establishing a profound spiritual connection with the women she portrays. The bond between the two women—whether sisters, friends, or a mother and daughter—is undeniably one of mutual reliance. They are each other’s rock and shelter, supporting one another in times of difficulty and challenge. The piece speaks to the strength one person offers another, particularly during challenging moments. Central to the work is the theme of womanhood, femininity, and the powerful spiritual connection between the artist and the women featured in her art. The piece also explores emotional transparency—qualities like strength, courage, determination, sensitivity, kindness, and authenticity—allowing for an intimate portrayal of the vulnerability and resilience shared between the figures. The two women are depicted with minimalistic detail, their connection highlighted through form and color rather than facial features. One woman is adorned in red, while the other is painted in blue, symbolizing contrasting yet complementary forces. The bold, expressive brushstrokes create a sense of immediacy, while the serene, muted teal background offers a calming atmosphere that envelops the embrace. The absence of discernible features on the figures directs the viewer’s focus to the embrace itself, making it the central emotional element of the painting. This anonymity invites viewers to project their own experiences and emotions onto the scene, creating a universal appeal. The harmonious interplay of warm and cool tones enhances the themes of connection and compassion, as the figures merge to form a unified whole. I Will Always Stand by Your Side is a powerful exploration of human connection, presented with a captivating simplicity that speaks volumes. The artist’s unique approach to color and form invites a deep emotional engagement, offering both beauty and meaning. The piece is created with oil paints on stretched linen canvas and is ready to hang. It is sold unframed, giving the buyer the freedom to frame it according to personal taste and interior style. The artwork will be carefully packed and shipped internationally from France, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Created in the artist’s Lyon...

"A Young Girl Reading a Book" is a captivating portrait by Swedish artist Gustaf Arnolds. Arnolds was a prolific painter whose roots began in Vingåker and later in Ronneby from his teenage years. His educational journey in art took him through prestigious institutions such as Althins målarskola and the Tallbergska grafikskolan in Stockholm, followed by a significant period at the Konstakademien, Stockholm, between 1904 and 1909. His talent and dedication were recognized early on, earning him a scholarship to Paris, a city that would deeply influence his artistic direction. This particular work, likely painted shortly after his return to Sweden, reveals a profound influence from his time in Paris. It portrays a young girl absorbed in reading a book, a simple yet profound subject that Arnolds imbues with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background hints at a serene landscape, dotted with quaint houses, a nod to the everyday beauty surrounding us. What sets this piece apart is Arnolds’ technique, reminiscent of pointillism but distinguished by longer, more expressive brush strokes that add a vibrant texture and depth to the canvas. This method showcases Arnolds' unique adaptation of the techniques he encountered during his Parisian studies, particularly during his interactions with Nils Dardel...
