“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you
cannot paint,’ then by all means paint,
and that voice will be silenced.”

Vincent Van Gogh

With great pride and an even greater sense of duty and
responsibility we would like to present the first volume of
the Hidden Treasure Art eMagazine / Spring 2015.

Our mission is to connect and build a bridge between
artists and art lovers by providing and presenting a
high quality source of visual art and design through our
book, website, magazine and other publications. We
are dedicated to bringing happiness and recognition
to the artists and joy, beauty and satisfaction to the art
lovers let them be collectors, buyers, galleries, curators
or others taking pleasure in art and design.

This idea was embraced by 59 artists from 15 countries
all over the world and this is why we believe that Hidden
Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook has so much to offer
both to the Artist and to the Readers.

Georgia Szollosi Ellis
director, editor and curator

Why do people like art?

“Human beings are visual. We react to symbols, colours
and images in certain ways. Can you imagine a world
without symbols? We all use symbols to live and work.
Some we “read”, like the stop sign or the sign for the
ladies or gents toilet - these are universal. Other sym-
bols of images promote an emotional response - and
art taps into this area. That’s why I love art.... that’s why
people try to paint what makes them feel deeply.... in
the hopes that their emotional response will make oth-
ers feel then same way...” (Unknown)

“Life is a work of art.”

As an artist, you have the power
to change something. Perhaps
people to move, to inspire or
to be inspired. Through my art
I want to make certain some-
thing visible in the form of faces,

The full-time artist Anna Hausmann was born in 1983 in Russia and came to Germany
at age six. Here she grew up in the wind stream (Ansbach district) which has been
painting since the age of 16 and now lives with her husband and son in the gap.

Their colourful and high-contrast images are acryl-
ic that certain something visible in the form of faces,
symbols and dots. If you study the works of Anna Haus-
mann, cannot verhelen a certain stylistic proximity to
the great Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor
Pablo Picasso - not be hidden. (18811973). “Picasso is
my biggest role model,” - says Anna.
Anna Hausmann images are line-stressed and inspi-
rational surrealism. The boundaries between painted
and real object up to the object flow smoothly into
one. The stations have a “modern” in a positive way
and also show echoes of Synthetic Cubism, as he was
found about 1912 to 1916 in the history of art...

2004 in college, and while serving in the
Navy as an Illustrator. Ultimately,
the artist found a home for nearly
twenty years as an Industrial Design
Illustrator for the commercial air-
craft industry, where he acquired
his skills with an airbrush creating
extremely detailed renderings of
commercial aircraft interior design
proposals. This skill would distinguish
Don’s fine art from his competition
in his ultimate career as a fine artist.

While about his endeavors in the art community, his work was personally commend-
ed by Ivy League institutions such as Princeton University and Columbia University,
and earned a membership in the American Artist Professional League.

As a self-taught artist, it was vital that he surrounded himself with the proper re-
sources in order to reach a professional level and harness his aptitude for detailed
drawing. With inspirations like Frank Lloyd Wright and Salvidor Dali, he studied in
his own time and painstakingly created his own technique which would allow him
to achieve photorealism in his work. After about 8 years of intensive independent
training he began exhibiting and was recognized for his proficiency despite never
having been conventionally taught in any art school, a few of his pieces in particular
being directly compared to Dali’s “Persistence of Memory”.

Christopher Voss’s body of art consists of inter-
nal reflections addressing physical, psycholog-
ical and spiritual proximities in relation to the
contemporary home. Voss has most recently
been working in a more direct way as he further
studies the causes and effects of narratives, as
objects act as surrogates for an idea or story
being told. By painting fragmented parts onto
a solid background Voss further dialogs and re-
flects on fragments or rejected parts as being
unified onto a permanent ground.

The fragmented parts, with anatomical, metaphysical, and psy- Nest.Fragility
chological imagery, become interactive and communal thus oil on canvas
creating a sense of cohesive and conflicting narratives, and
recollections. The fragments can be 24 x 24 in
viewed as parts that have escaped 2014
a tumultuous environment in order to
risk another refuge, a diagrammati-
cal conversation between the sep-
arate parts, a dialectical or a caus-
al construction. In these works the
painted tape, for Voss adds a sense
of illusionistic permanence as well as
a fragile impermanence in the work.
These studies were most recently ex-
hibited at Angelo State University’s
Gallery 193 in San Angelo TX, during
Voss’s “Fragments and Causality”
exhibition.

Voss, a Terminal M.F.A. from Texas
Tech University, is currently an Art In-
structor, and works out of his own pri-
vate studio, Voss Art Studio.

Interesting Facts

Part 1

During Renaissance and particularly in 1500s artistic
painting was not considered a suitable occupation
for a gentleman. Since painting involved working with
hands, artists were considered craftsmen and were giv-
en the same social standing as tailors or shoemakers.

The Renaissance masterpiece “The Pi-
eta” is the only work that Michelangelo
Buonarroti ever signed. He later regret-
ted what he considered an outburst of
pride and vowed to never sign anoth-
er work again. The Pieta is housed at
St. Peter Basilica in Vatican City.

Michelangelo Buonarroti’s father Lodovico was horri-
fied when he found out that Michelangelo decided to
become an artist. Michelangelo was often beaten by
his father and uncles when he first began to draw. Lo-
dovico was proud of his ancestry and he worried that
an artist in the family will bring the family a disgrace
(Image on the left: Restorers spot lost self-portrait of Re-
naissance master Michelangelo in Vatican fresco).

Leonardo Da Vinci started
painting Mona Lisa in 1504 or
1505 and finished only shortly before he died in
1519. Some reports say that it took him 10 years.

Pablo Picasso was considered a suspect in the
theft of Mona Lisa in 1911. He was arrested
and questioned after his friend Guillaume Apol-
linaire pointed a finger at Picasso. Both were
later cleared and released.

stract, surreal, postmodern style, her
main themes are environmental and

Laure Donnedieu has discovered the bullfighting envi-
ronment 30 years ago and is interested in it in different
ways. After a first training in various painting workshops,
she were specialized in the bullfighting painting under dif-
ferent formats: traditional bullfighting, horse bullfighting,
bulls at land at the beginning in a very figurative way.
Then, step by step, she has moved to a more abstractive
technique emphasizing on the moves and lights very typi-
cal from the bullfighting culture. For the last 4 years, Laure
has enlarged her scope of practice and is now painting
cities like Paris or New York by using knife and acrylic tech-
niques. She is also interest in street art.

Decker’s abstract optical, mixed media pieces ex-
plore the effects of dimensional expansion on the
canvas’ surfaces using acrylic paint in predomi-
nantly vibrant and contrasting hues, layered com-
positions and textures. The process involves optic
and kinetic qualities to augment, enhance and
displace color, texture and light in the works. The
pieces then radiate, glow and move with the view-
er.

The process starts with freedom of expression and
movement, flourishing imagination without restric-
tions and calculations. A place of contemplation
and inspiration is established. Layers of paint and
textures are overlapped generating dimensions,
compared by the artist to his experiences, and the
final coatings of pigment, glazes or metallic finishes
are carefully applied utilizing fine decision making
and technical skills, developed in the past 25 years,
taking the paintings to a completion. This process
can take many days, weeks, months or years. Last-
ly, a glass lens that ends the process and enhanc-
es, illuminates and bends form while concealing
experiences and protecting the painting.

Conception is established from motion, vibrant energy and research of techniques
and materials. Taking abstract expressionism from its traditional genesis, with inge-
nuity, entrapping time, experiences and emotions in the frame to manifest a new
world, is how Decker describes his drive to produce. An image never seen before,
the waves of magnified light running across the canvas, the bent forms and textures
and the expressions of the admirers experiencing the results are the fulfillment and
inspiration to evolve.

I have always been interested in art, spending hours drawing since early childhood.
I went to Art College, but soon realized that the most important thing for me was
to be able to develop my individual style, not focus on learning the specific things
taught there. I work in oil or acrylic on canvas, and am inspired by the world around
me. I create landscapes which sometimes verge on abstraction. I am continually
searching for perfection, not worrying about particular subjects but rather on com-
posing something that is ‘right’ in an inexplicable sense.
