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'.

Vitrales al Alba - Blue and Aqua Abstract Painting, South American Lyrical Art
By Alfredo Aya
Located in New York, NY
This stunning abstract piece captures the essence of dawn with its ethereal blue and aqua tones. The vertical composition and soft transitions of light evoke the effect of stained glass illuminated by morning sunlight, adding a tranquil atmosphere to any space. The delicate blending of shapes and colors creates a sense of harmony and balance, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or contemporary interiors that seek to evoke calm and reflection. Inspired by the artist’s belief that “form and movement emerge from color,” this work offers both visual depth and serene movement. Drawing parallels to lyrical abstraction, this painting shares an affinity with South American modernism, while offering a dynamic interplay of light and form that invites contemplation. Its fluid lines and luminous color palette make it versatile for a variety of design styles, adding both elegance and vibrancy to spaces. 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'. Abstract painting for living room...

Obvious Reasons - Abstract Versus Figurative Painting with Aqua Blue Colors
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Obvious Reasons is a 24 x 20 inches oil painting. The main colors are yellow, blue and brown. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant-based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. This painting is part of a new series that concentrates on using natural colors only. Natural Indigo, Turmeric, Hibiscus, Beet Root, Rosemary Leaf, Aloe Extract, and Holi Powders to name a few, mixed with Babul Tree Resin. Though the overall composition is abstract, there is a perception of figuration. A very thin wavy white line runs through the contours of the figures, defining an image within the image. Parris was born in NY and grew up in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica until he was ten years old. Partly Jamaican and Blackfoot Indian...

Black and White - Painting with Graffiti and Poetry on Thick Impasto
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Black and White is a 18 x 15 inches oil painting. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. The main colors are black, white and gray. The surface is scraped and incised with words and signs, almost like graffiti on a wall or inscriptions on an archaeological fragment. Parris was born in NY and grew up in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, until he was ten years old. Partly Jamaican and Blackfoot Indian from his father's side and partly Arawak Indian from his mother, Parris brings into his creative process a wonderful mix of different ethnicities that reflects throughout his work. The artist states "Throughout my life I have always been dedicated to Art but painting has added a patience of perception and love to my conscience mind, as well cultivating my unconscious. Painting gives me a confidence and inner security that has been hard for me to attain elsewhere. When I say a piece has turned out really well, a certain balance has been achieved between composition, perspective, color and depth giving my creative side a jolt. Although my works change frequently in form depending on mood and inspiration, the one thing that remains the same in all my works is an abstract touch. I am drawn mostly to abstract expression for the free-flowing aspect of creation. My favorite material is Plant-Pigment-Powder (ex; Sea Algae, Hibiscus, Gymnema Sylvestre and Turmeric powder. Mixing these pigments reminds me that nature is the purest example of artistic perfection and composition open to interpretation for all. With this understanding I am able to open communications with the energies of nature. the main purpose of these herbs are for medicinal healing, when I add it to my medium it adds an ethereal quality to my works. When I select my materials, I am very specific with my choices, after trial and error I work exclusively with denser herbs giving me the texture I desire and is compatible with oil paints and acrylics, adding depth and longevity to the works. Although I am drawn to blues, reds and blacks for body, my favorite colors are the highlights, whites, yellows, and light grey. I know a piece is done when it feels right, with clarity, movement and composition also complementing my sense of imagination. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of wonder and creative joy open to all possibilities of creation. When people see my painting’s I like them to share a part of my thoughts and inspiration, looking at the artist and his works from the inside. I reach my end goal when the painting has connected another link in the chain of an individual’s emotions."

Birth of Light - Abstract Gestural Oil Painting with Orange and Yellow Colors
By Ruggero Vanni
Located in New York, NY
Ruggero Vanni's Birth of Light is a 60 x 48 inch abstract gestural oil painting. It is an abstract landscape of vigorous brushstrokes and light, with a strong luminous central focus. The main colors are orange, yellow, and rust. There are clear references to the masters of the Hudson River School, also known as Luminism, as well as the Romantic paintings of English artist William Turner. Vanni states, "My works allude to natural phenomena, in a raw state, devoid of the limiting constrictions of literal representation. Nature is there, as a landscape, a view looking up in the air, or plunging down underwater. Imagery kept on the edge of recognition, so the final association is created in the mind. Contrasts of matter, color, light, are created to provoke emotional responses. In the large paintings the atmospheric composition is built by raised brushstrokes shattered and reassembled to reveal an underlying struggle. In the smaller works paper is cast tumultuously as a counterpoint to its inherent frailness. References to the history of painting are multiple and mixed: Venetian impasto and glazing, Luminist light, Abstract Expressionist texture, Baroque perspective. It is important to avoid mannerism, metabolize the suggestions and integrate them with empirical visual stimuli. Dissecting responses to everyday experiences into light, color, matter. There is no intent to escape reality, but to create a visual experience that communicates directly with our psyche; open to be reinterpreted continuously through our own evolution and the changing times." Ruggero Vanni was born in Paris. He studied painting from 1973 to 1978 at the Istituto d’Arte in Rome, Italy, under the guidance of Italian artist Michelangelo Conte...

Gimme Shelter
By Andrei Petrov

Andrei Petrov is an American artist of Russian origins. He is best known for his abstract oil paintings where calibrated stratifications of intense shades of colors are scraped to expose prior layers. This creative process is the expression of his lifelong struggle to retain memories of his childhood and life. “ As a child I was involved in an accident that affected my memory and compelled me to paint. Ever since, I have been trying to reclaim what I lost through my work”. His abstractions at times reference natural landscapes and atmospheric transparencies, like the beautiful blue, green and earth colors of this work seem to suggest. The title of this painting "Gimme Shelter...
