William Braemer

William’s artwork is the result of an amazing life experience and a personality that hungers for rich, character-defining adventures. William’s artwork can be defined as abstract expressionism; notably flavored with valiant colors, rich strokes and provocative themes. From the Caribbean flavored abstract paintings to the ornately crafted sculptures, William’s artwork appeals to a wide cross-section of collectors. As a young man, William was educated in New York and upon graduation, apprenticed in Europe during the 1980’s. While living in Florence, Italy, he was inspired by the city’s rich artistic history and its’ deep-rooted culture. It was this moment in time of William’s life which inspired him to pursue his passion for art; thus, beginning a life-long journey steeped in a love for self-expression.

Artist Statement
“My intense passion and extreme love of life is the foundation of my creativity. Elation, contentment and ultimate satisfaction are the feelings I experience when reaching the completion of one of my pieces, thus granting me the drive and ambition to begin creating a new body of work. I like to define my artistic style as abstract in nature coupled with an expressionist quality.
My interpretation of a subject matter is
transformed into rich, vibrant bold colors
– timeless, awakening the soul, uplifting and radiant. My use of color evokes many moods; each piece I create is a moment in my life and therefore reflects that period of time – my art is the reflection of my eyes looking into my soul.”

Didier Audrat

Audrat is a sculptor and designer, urban furniture designer and interior designer. He was born in Toulon, France. He has developed his artist career in Guadeloupe. He has been living and working in the US for 5 years. The artist has two main inspirations: the different influences of the Native American and African culture, and his passion for contemporary materials. His zeal for space and object pushes his creations, from installing monumental works to creating objects.
Didier Audrat questions the public and urban space. It performs operations on the landscape, sometimes ephemeral and also devotes part of his work to the creation of original usual objects.
His in-situ interventions highlight, underline or criticize the place in question to invite us to see otherwise. His artistic approach is based on the idea of the "any world” or the idea that one can create anywhere and adapt its creation without getting lost and losing its identity. The idea of an universal creation.

Albert Schmidbauer

Born in 1968 in Schärding /Upper Austria, he lives and works in Vienna, Salzburg, Natternbach and Los Angeles, and is married to Christina. His daughter Nika was born in 2008 and his second daughter Mira in 2011. His son Luis was born in 2013. Autodidact.

The profession of an artist is accordingly not one that can be acquired through academic training and a corresponding degree, but is rather a calling. Comparable to the calling to be the father of three children. You can prepare for this task in seminars and by reading guides, but mastering the task requires responsibility and demands daily commitment and dedication. It is likely no coincidence that Schmidbauer became the "father" of numerous works of art after the birth of his third child.

Since 2012 the autodidact created more than 300 works. These "children" are mostly large-format acrylic paintings on canvas. As a graduate of a secondary school that specialises in artistic education, Prof. Laurenz Hudetz influenced him personally. Schmidbauer's works are indirectly influenced by Hubert Scheibl, one of Austria's best-known artists, and by the world star Gerhard Richter.

Three philosophical themes define his oeuvre: openness, change and hope.

GONZALO BORGES

He started to draw at a very early age, inspired by his reading of Africa's classically based mythical tales of the Yoruba religion. At age 12, he took
his lesson in oil, painting popular and folklore themes from Cuba.

In 1954 he participated in his exhibition at National School of Fine School of Fine Arts de San Alejandro, a tradition for young Cuban painters, becoming first prize award winner.

Borges apprenticed for many years as a ceiling muralist in many of the cathedrals in Cuba, under the watchful tutelage of Vicente Clemade a famous master of Al Fresco paint, enabled him to acquire the talents which he uses today to express his vision.

Drawing upon this experience and other techniques he has developed his own unique style of painting. The paintings he exhibit demonstrate Borges' innovative use of circumference and distortion as well as of line and color, this extremely talented artist's paintings are exceptionally beautiful and
through the years they have found their way to various private collections in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Soviet Union, Spain, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, and the United States.
