LENORE D. ROBINS

The art world can often seem puzzling and intimidating. Lenore Diamond Robins’ art world is often a puzzle, quite literally. Through her art, she attempts to “solve” the puzzle by creating art which is readily accessible to the viewer. Her work has been described as, “Pop Art which really pops!”

Lenore works in six basic design styles: Geometrics, Puzzles, Fish, Flowers, Just Having Fun and Black & White color studies. All of her styles evolved from the use of basic geometric shapes, some of which are placed at varying heights or angles to create dimensionality and a sense of motion. Her art is distinctive and immediately identifiable.

Each of her unique works of art are wood based. The wood is cut and fully sealed. Each piece receives multiple coats of acrylic paints to obtain the depth of color Lenore requires for her bold, three dimensional art. She uses a high gloss resin to final coat most of her artworks. This is a technically challenging, very beautiful, hand-mixed and hand-poured finish which requires years of experience to properly master. Some variation in the final result is natural.

Lenore began creating art for her own home in 1988. Today, in addition to her long term representation at Art Fusion Galleries, she exhibits her art in galleries in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York City, NY. Her artwork has been purchased by private collectors from across the country and around the world; art which now hangs in private homes of collectors from Austria, England, France, Spain, Switzerland, The Czech Republic, as well as the US and Canada. Her art was shown at an invitation only juried art exhibition in Nashville, TN. Lenore served for three years as President of The Artists’ Guild of the Boca Raton Museum of Art, a very prestigious auxiliary of over 300 artists and art lovers.

Lenore’s art is designed to be hung without additional framing, or if she feels a frame is needed to complete the design, she incorporates the frame as part of the artwork. Her collectors invest in original art, not in commercial framing.

DAVID GONYA

David is a person of many talents and interests and is equally at home in the arts and engineering. His earlier career as an engineer has provided him with an understanding of the tools and processes necessary to sculpt. His pieces show his technical capabilities as well as his long dormant need to express himself artistically. As a sculptor, he has discovered his personal way to show many of life's perspectives, emotions and visions. He works primarily in stone (soapstone, alabaster, limestone and marble) and metal. David sculpts abstract as well as figurative pieces.

He formally started his sculpting training in 1988 at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has maintained a studio subsequently in Ohio, Florida, and Puerto Rico. In early 2000, he relocated to Sarasota, Florida and works at his studio on Ashton Court—adjacent to the Bronzart foundry. He is in private or public collections in Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Puerto Rico, Maryland, Wisconsin, New York and now Miami.

ALEXANDRA GESTIN

Alexandra Gestin was born in Guérande, a small medieval town, located on the "Côte d'amour" in the West of France.. Destiny would soon take the young Alexandra far away from her native country and her artist-architect grandfather on a number of amazing voyages that gave her, her passion for art. In North Africa, her love for sculpture becomes a passion. In Asia, she is inspired and discovers her first subjects. Today Alexandra is settled in Belgium and it is here that she has found the freedom to explore and develop this passion.

Every face is a place that has affected my life, says Anna Gavalda. There is that in the works of Alexandra Gestin. For her inspiration, a face, a look or even a photograph. Then with all her energy she starts to work and rework her subject, shaping and moving the clay and argile without stopping. The gesture is beautiful, generous. Her works show a truth, they have style. Her talent is in her contrasts, strength and gentleness, solid but fragile. A wonderful chemistry which is reflected in the work and the personality of Alexandra Gestin.

Victoria Kovalenchikova

VK Gallery represents contemporary international artists working in different genres and media, including painting, sculpture, photography and digital art.
Victoria Kovalenchikova believes in supporting different cultures across the globe, and VK Gallery is a part of several humanitarian and charity projects. Victoria hopes that her small contribution will have wider impact.
Victoria's paintings demonstrate a strong knowledge of art history. Her fascination with the cityscape - both its architecture and inhabitants - is evident in most of her works. She frequently attempts to portray the passage of time by recalling seemingly innocuous events, ingrained in our collective memory, unfolding at specific locations.

Recently Victoria started to create new EARTH paintings, which are dedicated to our planet and universe. Most importantly, she views her creative process as a means of representing the kaleidoscope of life by piecing together its infinite fragments.

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.

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
