ALEX NOIR

Alex Noir is a Miami based American Mixed Media Artist, born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1969.
Raised in a home that nurtured and encouraged his innate artistic abilities, at age 10 he started drawing and painting lessons with a private tutor.
Later he went on to work on literature, photography and music, scoring an indie film and a documentary.
In 2001 he moved to the U.S. and as destiny would have in 2019, as the pandemic took hold of the nation, he started doodling again but this time on a digital format.
He quickly realized that going back to basics was needed so he taught himself the one technique he didn’t know, the unforgiving watercolor medium. Mixed media came as a complement of his ever-growing passion for sharing his artistic vision and pouring his soul with every stroke of the brush.
Home is the constant and ever-present subject of his paintings. Home, the place he holds dear in his heart, the place where life begins and lessons are learned, where family is the refuge for heartaches, the shoulder to cry and the cradle of everlasting love.
His paintings of whimsical, colorful yet faithful to the architectural style, homes take the viewer on a journey of passionate and warm memories surrounded by beds of aromatic flowers and the shade of trees.
His keen eye for color palettes and fine detail, invites us to dream of the abundance of possibilities.
His first show was during the Miami Art Week of 2024.
He’s been a featured artist at the Thrive Art District, Fort Lauderdale, since December 2024.
In May 2025 he was signed for representation with Art Fusion Galleries in Oakland Park.

RACHEL RUFF

Rachel Ruff has worn many hats, including Emmy award-winning CNN producer, ad-agency executive, White House assistant pastry chef, author, and artist. Though she feels most at home when she's in her favorite element: painting.

At CNN, Ruff produced Emmy award winning medical documentaries and created the first-ever “World Aids Day” documentary. Ruff served as a Vice President for Porter Novelli, a worldwide advertising agency, where she used her journalistic insight and extensive CNN experience to oversee digital media and broadcast projects.

She wrote and self-published “Defriending Facebook,” a memoir on the intense pressures and addictions she fell into with social media. Her narrative details how she came dangerously close to taking her own life and how she healed herself by going offline. Ruff says, "My book was written to share my experiences to help others silently suffering online."

She holds a communications degree with a pre-medical concentration from the University of Florida. She also has a Pastry Arts degree with Honors from L’ Academie De Cuisine. After graduating, she worked for White House chefs Anne Amernick and Frank Ruta.

When Ruff was eight years old, she began studying and practicing oil painting in traditional Renaissance style. In her forties, Ruff's work was rebirthed into acrylic painting in the form of vivid abstracts via synesthesia, using her pastry palette knives, her "dancing" fingers, and drip painting onto an array of canvas mediums including linens, plywood and masonite.

My re-awakening of painting vivid abstracts created through synesthesia, in the form of visualizing colors through the vibrations of music and then painting that which I see. I cannot describe a song in words; in a work of art, I can. I also create pieces by channeling a client's musings or my own emotions and bringing them to life on canvas

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.”

Peponne

“I have known Peppone’s works for many years and they have naturally found their place in our galleries. Like many, I was first won over by the first degree of reading his work, which consists of immersing oneself with humor in a bath of childhood. “It’s not an intellectual art, it’s not the goal because it would prevent you from letting go” he told me during our first meeting.

The second degree is more complex, more insidious because by placing the heroes of our childhood in situations with iconic references, Peppone makes us want to remember the strength of certain photos, films, posters or historical events that have draped our own personal construction.

Thus its improbable mixtures penetrates you by the roots of your own culture while preserving the essence of the original subject, which made the great History. We smile as much in front of the tenderness of the Simpsons in Michelangelo’s “creation of Adam” as in front of his so light way of revisiting the cult cover “Abbey road” of the Beatles.

Today, his works surround me and looking at them reminds me at all times that if you leave childhood behind while growing up, childhood never really leaves you.”
