Carole Jury is both a photographer and an abstract painter and she combines the two mediums of expression in her process, starting from photography and then transposing it to painting to create her series with poetic names such as Dark sea, La Vie en Rose or Glimmer of Hope. Her signature resides in her broad textured strokes, her ability to capture shadows and lights and her eye for color with canvases from vibrant reds to calming blues, subtle nuances of whites to powerful blacks. Working mainly in oils but also in acrylics, Carole Jury likes to play with materials to express herself: her paintings can be either made on canvas, wood or aluminum, incorporating leather or fabrics.

The Moscow-based artist Yuri Ulyashev is impressively versatile in the subject matter and technique of his paintings, which vary from cheerful still lifes to sardonic depictions of animals with human accessories. Uliashev’s mastery of oil painting is evident in his use of different strokes, textures and impasto, not to mention his bold yet subtle use of color. His paintings delightfully combine realistic and graphic elements, perhaps aided by his successful career in advertising.

Zina Zinchik is a Fine Art Photographer who lives and works from West New York, NJ. Following her passion, a self-taught photographer, she picked up a camera in her late 20-s. Further studying in workshops with globally accomplished photographers and extensive experimenting with photography techniques led to development of her vision and style.
Her recent works, inspired by global warming weather events, consist of experiments with ice and frozen botanical and collected into “Frozen Spring” series. The artistic influence behind this imagery stems from deep appreciation for the simple, the untainted and the unadulterated beauty found in nature and the logistic restrictions influenced by weather.
Zina’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and printed in numerous magazines.

Alex AG is a photo artist, and theoretician of photography, as well as a host of TV program about modern photography – Single Shot. His focus is experimental photography with special attention to the role of reality in the media. The premise of his art is redefining photographic image in the same manner painting was redefined by impressionism and expressionism. His works in contemporary series are digitally modified panoramas, combined with other visual elements in order to create complex narrative, depicting fantasy rather than reality. The works featured in this collection are from two series – Yoga Poses and Elements. Both are exploring female beauty reflected in the visions of the world.

Naum Medovoy’s career spans four decades. A self-taught artist, he was mostly a documentary filmmaker until he began printing stills from his film, applying oil sticks and black and white ink to their surfaces. The resulting works serve as platform for expressive and [perceptual experimentation, which are often self0referential in nature; Medovoy’s photo-documentary collage paintings are rooted in his childhood memories and previous work.
In his studio, Medovoy tirelessly works on each painting, moving between various combinations of media until he’s satisfied with the end result. In the process, he offers an entirely new perceptual exprerience, such so that he’s established himself as a unique, vangard talent in art world, inventing new ways to aesthetically engage viewers, mediating between oil sticks, ink, film, photography, and memory.
