Ma ZaiHuan - chinese contemporary painting
Ma ZaiHuan
Site was born in 1982 in Baishan, in the Ji Lin province of China. She graduated from Ji Lin Art College with a Bachelor of Art degree in 2004, and has since been working as a full time artist. Ma ZaiHuan has gained growing recognition and praise for her flower paintings, in which she successfully mixes traditional Chinese brush
painting techniques with a Western surrealistic painting style. This search of combining the esthetic spirits of East and West has brought the artist to the edge of a new artistic trend in today's contemporary culture. It has also helped to create a new circle of collectors for her work. Ma ZaiHuan's art embodies the essential elements of what most people look for in life: peace, love, and purity.

Alex Gnidziejko Site, In the style of heightened realism, Alex Gnidziejkos paintings are reminiscent of the Dutch masters of the 16th and 17th centuries. Gnidziejkos painstaking technique of egg tempera emulsion and oil give his paintings a stunning depth and three-dimensional quality. The process he uses starts with a precise under painting with white egg tempera. Using small brush strokes that follow the contour of the subject, Gnidziejko brings definition to the form and accentuates its highlights. Transparent oil glazes of complementary colors are then applied to the painting. By building up many layers of these glazes over luminescent egg tempera, Gnidziejko is able to achieve the life-like quality that characterizes his paintings. As one of the foremost masters of this medium, his work is included in many public and private collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
