Ovanes Berberian Art
Russian, b. 1951
The light filled canvases of Ovanes Berberian evoke a private world of nature in repose. Born in Russian Armenia, Berberian received his primary art education under the guidance of his father who was an important Russian artist, a member of the Armenian Artists’ Society, as well as a theatrical set designer and college art professor. It was in this environment, studying at his fathers art school, Ovanes achieved a significant portion of his art education.
In the summer of 1977, following his father’s death, the young Berberian and his three brothers and mother immigrated to the United States, settling in California. In 1981, Ovanes was awarded a scholarship to study with the late master painter and noted teacher, Sergei Bongart. Ovanes said of Bongart, “I was influenced by Sergei more than any other artist. He led me in the direction I needed to go, it was like a light bulb finally came on.” In Idaho near Bongart, Berberian built his home and studio from which he conducts workshops in the summer. His painting style is easily recognizable by his confident blend of color and brush work as depicted in his dramatic landscapes and still lifes.
“One of the shinning stars in American art, Ovanes is a nationally renowned teacher and plein aire artist who has been at the forefront of the American art scene for many years. His deep understanding of hue, value, and color relationships make him sought after not only by collectors but by students who come from near and far for a chance to attend one of his workshops. A plein aire purist, he elects to paint on location, inspired by a more direct confrontation with his subject. He states unequivocally that in painting the most important thing is color harmony. Ovanes’ use of color, combined with his dynamic, painterly style, makes each landscape and still life come alive striking a chord deep within the viewer.”
Berberian’s paintings are held in numerous private and public collections such as The Forsthye Group, Jack Nicklaus, Doris Mendenhall, and Palm Springs designer Steve Chase.to

Zaragoza Spain oil on canvas painting impressionist spanish landscape
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Technical Data Sheet
Title: La Arboleda (Zaragoza)
Artist: Juan Bayón Salado (Bay Sala)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 23.6 x 28.7 inches
Condition: Unframed
Period: Mid-20th century
Style: Impressionism with Expressionist influences
Description:
This painting depicts a wooded riverside landscape, likely the Ebro River as it passes through Zaragoza. The open composition and vibrant natural light emphasize green and ochre tones, evoking an atmosphere of tranquility and connection with nature. The arrangement of trees in perspective guides the viewer's eye toward the horizon, where a red building provides contrast and balance to the scene. On the right, small human figures add dynamism and depth to the landscape. The loose brushstrokes and tonal transitions suggest an agile yet detailed execution.
Artist's Biography
Juan Bayón Salado, artistically known as Bay Sala, was born in Logroño on June 24, 1913, and passed away in Bilbao on April 2, 1995. In 1918, his family moved to Bilbao, where he developed most of his artistic career. In the early 1930s, he set up his easel in Bilbao’s Arenal district, painting and raffling his works to support his parents.
In 1941, he held his first exhibition in Bilbao, followed by another in Zaragoza in 1942, where he began signing his works as Bay Sala. In 1950, he moved to Paris in search of Impressionist roots, residing there until the late 1960s. His style is characterized by Impressionist brushstrokes with Expressionist touches, focusing primarily on urban and rural landscapes. His works are part of significant collections and museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao and the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián.

Bullfighting Scene oil on board painting
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986)
Technique: Oil on board
Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Frameless
Period: Second half of the 20th century
Art Movement: Figurative Expressionism with Impressionist influences
Condition: Good, with visible signs of aging on the surface
DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
This painting captures a crucial moment in a bullfight, where the matador, dressed in a dazzling traje de luces (suit of lights), elegantly holds the red cape (muleta) while facing a wounded bull. The scene conveys tension and drama through energetic and loose brushwork, with strong contrasts of light and color that enhance its expressiveness.
The abstract background, built with gestural brushstrokes in warm, earthy tones, reinforces the dynamism and immediacy of the moment. The thick texture of the paint and the vibrant colors in the matador's attire and cape are characteristic of Figurative Expressionism, giving the work a strong emotional impact.
Tuser masterfully captures the essence of movement and the intensity of the bullfight through a painterly approach reminiscent of Impressionism, but with a greater emphasis on gesture and expressive color, making his work stand out for its raw energy and dramatic depth.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specialized in bullfighting themes, gaining recognition in the 20th-century art scene for his expressive depictions of the corrida (bullfight). He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong mastery of color and composition.
From 1947 onwards, his work focused almost entirely on bullfighting, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that capture the emotion and spectacle of the arena. He was a frequent collaborator with El Ruedo magazine, where his illustrations and covers solidified his reputation. Additionally, in the 1940s, he designed series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for the Artigas Publishing House.
His work has been auctioned in several art houses and is highly valued among collectors of bullfighting paintings. His influence and legacy in tauromaquia (bullfighting art...
