Victor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov (1848 - 1926). One of the first artists to turn to subjects in Russian folklore, Victor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov was born the son of a village clergyman and began to proceed in his father's ecclesiastical footsteps until his passion and talent for painting brought him to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in 1868. He became an active member at the estate of Savva Mamontov, a famous art patron whose circle sought to revive national traditions. Vasnetsov's first commissioned work created decorative panels for a number of famous buildings throughout Moscow, although he worked in a number of other fields throughout his career, principally architectural design. Vasnetsov's search for the genuinely Russian pictorial idiom greatly influenced the development of modernism and symbolism in Russian painting and poetry.

A. Andrew Gonzalez

A. Andrew Gonzalez

A. Andrew Gonzalez, of San Antonio, Texas, is an award-winning figurative artist whose work has been exhibited in several countries. Born on October 13, 1963, and raised in a creative family, Andrew's art education is largely self-taught. His artist father, Anthony A. Gonzalez, encouraged his early interest in drawing and painting but gave him no formal training. In the year 2000, Andrew Gonzalez had the distinct privilege to work closely with the well-known Fantastic Realist artist Ernst Fuchs in Monaco and Austria. Photos of the experience can be seen at L. Caruana's website.

The paintings of Gonzalez are created with airbrushed acrylics on panel or canvas. Forms, values and highlighting are created by lifting pigment with an abrasive eraser, followed by the application of transparent layers of pigment. Influenced by idealism in the mystical, visionary and esoteric traditions, the artist describes his work as a contemporary Tantric or Transfigurative Art that explores the dramatic union of the sensual and spiritual. His work is akin to a revival of classical neoplatonic ideals centering on the figure as temple and vessel sublimed by transformative forces.

Por el idioma de las páginas donde hay algunas de sus fotos, diría que se trata de un fotógrafo ruso, pero es es único dato que puedo aportar sobre su biografía.

También tiene la suficiente paciencia para fotografiar insectos.

"I´m a professional photographer based in Helsinki, Finland. I work mainly on commercial photo assignments and public relations on bussiness field in Finland. On this site you can see my pictures of fine art photography. In my art I try to concentrate on the feeling of the picture, and I don´t always want it to be soft, nice or other beautyful things. For me it´s more important, that you, as an viewer, stop and ask yourself a few questions. In the same way than I try to ask myselff everytime as I work ....why? Why is a very important word for me in my life. Do we like it, how do we like it, and why do we like it, and after all there is only, why? I do not have the answers for the most of the questions, but hey, who would have!".

Todas sus fotos parecen estar hechas en blanco y negro y con unas décadas a sus espaldas. Pero salvo esta percepción no he encontrado ninguna biografía.

Boris Vallejo

Boris Vallejo

Born in Lima, Peru, Boris attended the National School of Fine Arts in his native country before immigrating to the United States in 1964. He has since done a great volume of work for the Fantasy field, having worked for virtually every major publishing house with a science fiction/fantasy line. Boris has also illustrated for album covers, video box art and motion picture advertising.
His mastery of oil painting is immediately and abundantly clear to anyone who looks at his work, and his classic sense is as much an homage to the old masters as it is to anyone contemporaneously working in the Fantasy genre.
For sheer dauntless bravura, few have ever pushed the limits as does Boris with his beautiful maidens and fearsome monsters.

Guy Le Baube

Guy Le Baube was born in France in 1944.

He moved from Paris to New York in 1976.An award winning photographer, highly esteemed for his editorial work in world renowned fashion magazines, his photography has been seen in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Marie-Claire...

In the early 90's Guy Le Baube transcended the commercial realm with a private collection of photographs "Behind the Scene" that won critical acclaim. Glamorous, sexy and erotic, Guy Le Baube's work is bold and surprising. His nude portraits are allegorical tales punctuated by a witty, tongue-in-cheek humor.

Guy Le Baube's photographs reveal a sensibility that lies between the sexiness of Helmut Newton and the playfulness of Jacques-Henri Lartigue. His vision ranges from the world seen through the mischievous eyes of Frederico Fellini to the expression seen through the eye of his own childhood innocence. His latest collection of images displays the adept skills of a master photographer and creative narrator of intimate life; thrilling, beautiful, touching and playful.

Don Stewart

Don Stewart

Don Stewart received his BS degree in Biology and Art at Birmingham-Southern College in 1981, paying his way with a nightclub act as a comic ventriloquist. Initially he enrolled in art classes as a respite from the rigors of premedical studies. Soon, however, he was exposed to the process of composite imagery, and began exploring techniques in ballpoint drawing. Don continued to pursue artistic interests as a hobby during medical training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

After receiving his M.D. in 1985, Dr. Stewart moved north to Minnesota, to complete an internship in surgery at the Mayo Clinic. The lifestyle of a surgical resident proved, however, to be at odds with his creative side. By year's end, Don opted to discontinue his medical studies, after accepting awards for both short fiction and poetry, and publishing his first two composite drawings. He has since worked as a graphic artist, writer, and creative consultant through his company, DS Art.
