ANNA AMGREN (Sweden),

art and cryptoart. Her paintings are considered energy paintings or
spiritual paintings. This means that she does a meditation before
starting, setting the intention to the picture. Sometimes, she
paints with her eyes closed, letting her hand choose color
and move automatically. She then imports the draft to the computer
where she works on parts of the painting, and the magic happens. In
the pictures, figures and symbols appear, all depending on your
imagination - the more you look, the more you’ll find. Anna also
photographs details in nature and uses them in the same process.

Jaime Miranda Bambarén’s art installation Seeds
(13 Moons) [Semillas (13 lunas in Spanish], will be featered
from Spring 2022 to Summer 2023, New York’s Thomas Paine Park].
This monumental initiative will root into that public space
thirteen grand and textured wooden spheres, each one of them
sculpted out of a single piece of wood harvested by the artist out
of the Peruvian landscape. All the works involved originate from
the systematic rescue of the remains of eucalyptus trees illegally
plundered at various times in Peruvian history.
www.13moons.nyc/David Fludd: “The works are
concerned with improvisation and the art of creating in the moment.
I am influenced by musical ideas and concepts. Improvisational
concepts are present in the works. I am also a musician. I compose
and perform as a pianist. Music informs my work technically and in
the way that I approach a canvas. I approach a canvas with the
ideals of exploration and experimentation. By this approach the
works express the experiences of where they were created. In this
regard multiplicity exist and thereby expresses many places often
simultaneously. The works are open to interpretation. Dialogue is
invited.” www.Dfludd.weebly.com
Martin Saar: “As a kid I was always fascinated
by art and at the time thought of it as something very far and
unreachable. I was puzzled by how artists captured people, nature,
objects and turned them into masterpieces. I wished I could do the
same but had no idea how to get there. At the age of 16 my dad gave
me a set of oil paints and there was no going back. I started to
explore and study the fascinating world of art. In 2002 after
moving to New York I started doing commission mosaic portraits but,
in my heart, I wanted to evolve as a painter. Step by step, by
learning and practicing, I got my first solo show at the Gallery in
the Hamptons. I started exploring new mediums and testing different
techniques such as graphic design, painting, photography, and
airbrush. I have found myself being especially fascinated and
inspired by the beauty and variety of female bodies. After more
than 30 shows in the past 10 years, I still feel that every new
painting is better than the last. I am eager to keep learning,
experimenting, and pushing the limits to see how far I can take my
passion.” Born Tallinn, Estonia 1980. IG:
