About the Item
Born in Paris France, Arno Elias is a French American Artist, Painter, Photographer, Musician and Activist. He is best known for his hand-painted, hand-embellished photographs of endangered species and indigenous peoples, both of whom have been devastated by the impacts of industrialization.
Elias’ process for creating his multi-media artworks is quite involved. After developing each photograph, the artist hand-paints a distinct language of codes, designs, and embellishments on top of each photo’s surface. In this way, each piece becomes a unique mixed-media photographic painting. The relationships and connections Arno is able to realize in photographing people and wildlife, have imbued his spirit with a quest for humanity and awakened his senses to the power and beauty of these diverse cultures.
Arno Elias’ artwork has been exhibited and collected globally, his painted photography have been featured in numerous art fairs throughout North America and Europe.
In 2016, Elias created the worldwide campaign “I’m Not a Trophy” dedicated to creating greater awareness of the rapid extinction of endangered species around the world. For the campaign, Elias created a series of photographs with fashion icon Cara Delevingne. In 2019 Elias was invited to the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on the topic of animal welfare and sustainable development.
Elias is also a music composer. In 2005, Elias composed and produced Buddha Bar Nature in collaboration with reknown wildlife activist Allain Bougrain-Dubourg, he also composed the Musical Score for the United Nations Organization in New-York, a Campaign for UNICEF called “For every Child” with recording artist Shakira. Elias was chosen by Brigitte Bardot to compose music for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which was created to help protect animals from abuse.
The artist currently lives and works in New-York.

Arno Elias
Arno Elias' work has been featured by The New York Times, PBS Television, USA Today, NBC, The Miami Herald, Miami Magazine, Florida International, and The Chicago Tribune. His paintings and photographs have been featured at art fairs across North America as well as the prestigious Art Basel fair in Switzerland. ""The Lost Series"" is a crystallization of the mixed media and powerful images he captured during his many travels across different continents The artist presents hand-painted photography as a means of engaging philosophical reflections about culture, humanity and wildlife. This selection of works reflects the artist's desire to maintain the cultural authenticity of nature which is or will be ""lost"" in the wake of globalization and industrialization. From the faces of the Mursi tribe of Ethiopia to the endangered animals of the Kenyan savannah, Elias' subjects, captured spontaneously and incidentally, are depicted in full-length or three-quarter views. His finely detailed, richly toned images resonate with a sense of longing and compelling emotion. Integrating the act of hand painting to create a sense of connection with his subjects, the artist creates multiple layers of narratives, rigorously investigating the most fundamental and intrinsic aspect of human experience, nature and culture.

One Thousand Front
By Carlos Tirado
Located in Atlanta, GA
Carlos J. Tirado (born on April 3, 1964 in Caracas, Venezuela) is an artist, painter and sculptor who has developed a very personal and precise line of work linked to Neo-Pop art. With plenty of personal art exhibitions, Tirado has participated in numerous collective exhibitions, receiving different awards such as “III Premio de Escultura” del Certamen Aires de Córdoba in 2004 and other recognitions, among them, at the Venezuelan Embassy in DC (2005), and the X Latin Art Festival of Atlanta (2005).
Childhood
Tirado grew up in an upper-middle-class family environment. His inclination for the arts started from an early age. At 8 years old, he was already experimenting with tridimensional forms, creating molds out of cast lead from pieces previously gathered on the streets. These first artistic experiences led by his inquisitive nature, provided the ground to continue exploring the possibilities with different materials like wood, waste and plaster. His childhood games were centered around painting and sculpting, which played an important role that ranged from recreational to aesthetics.
When Tirado turned 12 years of age, his parents agreed for him to attend private art classes with professor Javier Hernandez in Caracas. Later on, he realized that Art was a profession that required investment in materials, reason that led him to work at a furniture store painting landscapes and figurative art to decorate the exhibit room. He created numerous paintings of Caracas’ famous mountain: El Avila...
