Raiber González Hechavarría was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1981.Inspired by the letters began philosophy studies at Havana University and later at “San Alejandro” art academy, where he ends his studies in 2005. That year he developed a community (art-therapy) project of exchanging with schizophrenic patients. In July of 2005 he received the prize on the XX edition of “Havana” Art Salon, which supports his membership in the National Arts Council of Cuba and later in the “X Havana Bienal”. “Raiber´s expression is suppor-ted by an existentialist approach to creative process; distant from archetypes derived from structural criticism he rediscovers the time, the sensorial experiences, the routine, the memory, and the fake. His essay work supports his analytical position about mecha-nisms and processes of signal languages transmission. His first stay in Europe, led him to Amsterdam, where he established the platform of artists creation “TARA projects”. In February 2011, in Spain, creates “Funda Mental” project, a documentary records about language systems studies, emphasizing in communicative noises, distortion and trans-mission processes in general. Funda Mental diffuses these records and try to build a window into the collective work and avoid the obstacle that institutional promotion usually assumes against the young creators’ methods. In the search for these spaces he found another social networks to share his work. Currently also works on documenta-tion and diffusion of community projects in Havana (Cuba)”. (Guacimara Rivero Pérez, sociologist) Some of his recent solo and collective exhibitions are: “Recursos humanos” Hexaedro Rosa Gallery, Havana, Cuba, Sept. 2009, “Background” OT 301, Amsterdam, The Nederland’s, Sept. 2010, Hipercolectiva, “Aperitivos visuales”, Tenerife, Spain, DEC. 2010, Concurso Nacional de videoarte Click&rec PHE10, Spain, July 2010, Funda Mental Opening, “Aperitivos Visuales” Tenerife, Spain, Jan. 2011, Funda Mental public interven-tion, Havana Book fair, Cuba, Feb. 2011, “Caravan” festival 2011, Tenerife, Spain, July 2011.

With color, space and personal symbolism I search for a certain feeling, deeply rooted

emotions, not bounded to culture, religion or race, but universal and recognizable for

every human being. I hope the spectator finds something of himself in my work. My

search is not spectacular or shocking, I am searching in the world of silence. Paintings

and objects showing large color fields, with small figurative elements in it, like a leaf, a

jacket, or a child. Approximate formed squares and circles are connected with thin lines

to each other or to the space outside the painting or object. Glass is a material that gives

me the opportunity to enter light literally into the work. Paper looks vulnerable and

transient. These materials are becoming more and more important in my work.

Maria Kavvou-vlataki brings to life a love affair with paint as she abandons herself to

the sensuous and sensual nature of her medium. Nude figures bathed in mood and

mystery, flowers brilliantly exploding into bloom and glowing visions of natural beauty

emerge in these wondrous creations. In a style of both abstract and expressionist rea-

lism, Kavvou-Vlataki finds freedom in paint, fearlessly exploring new textures, methods

and subjects in watercolors on paper, or acrylic on canvas, with occasional strategic

touches of charcoal and mixed media. “My goal is to follow the painting where it leads

me!” she exclaims. Maria Kavvou-Vlataki recently renewed her career in painting with

a triumphant return after an extended absence spent focusing on family and her work

as a guide at various historical archeological sites and museums. Born in Greece on the

island of Crete, the artist studied at the Privet Fine Arts School in Crete and Paros islands

and now divides her time between studios on the islands of Crete and Paros

Magdalena Kourkoulos was born in Germany in 1951. When she was 18, after fini-

shing high school, she moved to Colonia, where she studied and get married. She has

two children. She has traveled a lot with her husband, George Kourkoulos, at the Greek

historic places and the Greek islands. She is learning Greek and the last 8 years she is

visiting every summer Corfu. She and her husband had the idea of twinning the Munici-

pality of Corfu with the Municipality of Troinstorf, near Bonne, where they live in winter.

She has worked in education for 34 years in Bonne. The last 25 years she is dealing with

naïve painting, she is taking photos of Corfu and Greece and often collects her thoughts

in poetic form. Since 2004 she suddenly changed her style and painted “furiously” her

first abstracted work just with her hands. In her work Magdalena tries to feel the life

again and expresses views of eternity, capturing the moment. She considers her work

as a presentation of life itself. Life is an interaction field where people put their signs

and leave their marks. She often uses findings from the beach, which underline her

intention to create a representation, an image of the existence. After all, is there any

better way to perform the meaning of human destiny than the sea? From 2008 she is a

member of the Corfu Art Union.

astrid Krüger was born at Glückstadt (Germany) on May 21, 1966. She lives and works

in Hamburg. She has been interested in art for a long time , but she turned to practice it

when she saw an African stone sculpture exhibition. She immediately decided to learn

sculpture from a local artist. For some years she concentrated in specializing in stone

sculpturing. Afterwards she needed to change and to experiment with different mate-

rials and different approaches to art. Meanwhile she studied art at the Free Art School

in Hamburg – held by former Beuys-Students. In result she became a painter with a

great love for Asian wash painting. Nevertheless she mainly paints with oil colours. But

I try to create a similar atmosphere of silence, emptiness and space for continuing the

painting in mind.

He has been rewarded many times and his works are found in private collections and museums, sculptures, art books published in Brazil and abroad. Creativity is present in small things. It is, for example, in the act of looking at nature and how it can be reused for patterns plastically always subjective and cultural beauty. It is this mystery that drives the work of Jose Americo in his ongoing research materials. The main feature of his sculptures and wall table is in the mix of types of wood (mastic, for example) with metallic elements (carbon steel, among others). The visual result of the dialogue is marked by the dominance of abstraction and the curved line. Various compositions generally appear in subtle organic shapes. The artist also makes jewelry. Work as studies of larger works, constructed from pieces of wood found on the banks of the Parana River and the shaping of the steel... (Oscar D’Ambrosio).

Gabriela z. Pickett-Mosier is a native of Mexico City (March 20, 1969). Coming from a long line of artists, she studied art at Wright State University in the United States. Her life is full of experiences that have allowed her to develop her talent as an artist. Being born in Mexico she developed a fondness for what most people would label as morbid images. The horrendous reality of war and political instability that Mexicans endured from 1810 to the late1930’s inspired many great artists. Some wanted to use their artistic abilities to attest to the brutal living conditions of every day life in Mexico. Others used their art to express their political opinions. When Gabriela paints or crea-tes sculptures she uses a fusion of influences from her native country, drawing on the influence of Jose Maria Velasco and his landscapes, Posada and his morbid sense of hu-mor, Diego Rivera and his desire to show us the harsh reality of life experienced by the Mexican peasants oppressed by corrupt governments, and Frieda Kahlo, who painted from the heart communicating a sense of physical and psychological anguish. Gabriela aims at raising awareness regarding the living conditions of the Mexican indigenous people who have been marginalized by economic realities and social discrimination. As an activist, Gabriela uses her art as a venue for social commentary in the hope that indi-genous people are not forgotten. In an era where Zapatistas have put down their guns and use words as a weapon against tyranny, she uses her art to compliment the mes-sages of peace and respect for human rights emanating from the jungles of Mexico. Her landscapes are memories of her childhood recorded for posterity. As urbanization takes over the Mexican landscape, Gabriela wants to show the world the beauty of Mexico’s countryside before it fades away.

Right from the beginning I have always been interested in translating emotions into a

visual language, to give feelings form. Thematically the work moves between opposite

poles: the personal, things I have experienced, seen, imagined or dreamt; and the politi-

cal, where secondary source material generates primary images. The underlying subject

throughout all my work could best be described with the word CONFLICT. This can be

of a political nature or equally inspired by autobiographical events.
