NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated
through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of
time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist
through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have
it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable
nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it
yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to
keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the
channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever
at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us march-
ing and makes us more alive than the others”

(Martha Graham)

With great pride and even greater sense of duty and responsibility we would like to present
the first volume of the Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook 2014.

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, cura-
tors or others taking pleasure in art and design.

This idea was embraced by 221 artists from 32 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.

Paulina Wong was born in Hong Kong. She started taking lessons from local artists both in tra-
ditional Chinese and Western style in her teenage. But it was after she emigrated to California
in 1992 that she seriously pursued a career in art. She obtained a degree in Studio Art from
University of California, Irvine in 1997. She returned to Hong Kong in 2000. Over the years,
She has participated in various exhibitions locally and abroad.

„Exposure to western contemporary multi-media visual culture
changes my perception of art and hence the content and style
of my artwork. My works become minimal and conceptual, but
always maintain a colorful edge.“

Georgia Szollosi is an airbrush artist and designer, based in London, UK.
Since she established her Airbrush Studio, G-Design in Budapest, 2007,
her work has been featured in leading art and custom painter publica-
tions, as well as shown in many exhibitions around Europe.

“Ever since my earliest days growing up in Hungary I have enjoyed paint-
ing and I love to express my emotions through my art. I have been a fine
artist for the last eight years and have exhibited in both solo and group
shows across Europe. I have sold several pieces which include paintings,
drawings and sculptures, some of these have been commissions from
clients within the UK and Europe. Recently I have developed my tech-

nique using the airbrush. I am
a multi skilled artist who is not
tied to one media. I choose
materials based on their rela-
tionship with my concept and
what can be interpreted from
such means.”

Working exclusively in charcoal, Dan uses a realistic style that mimics
photography to the point that his work is often mistaken for photographs.
He loves shadows, contrast, anonymity and using negative space in his
compositions. His gifted eye catches timeless “fragments” of life in his
work- whether it’s the intricate lines of the human hand, or the delicate
folds of a garment, they are drawn in detailed simplicity. With virtually
no formal art training, Dan has been drawing since childhood. Through-
out the years, his internationally award winning work has been displayed
in galleries throughout the country, including online galleries as far away
as London.

Bathory is coming
from the professional

camera-man and edi-
tor. At the early Nine-
ties he shocked the
Western European public with his experi-
mental movies as Eastern European. Since
1996 his creativity has been visualized by
airbrush gun. His art in that he prefers to
give a komplex and overall design of the
vehicle, wall, helmet and so on by creat-
ing a new meaning of it with the combining
of classical design and modern elements.
Bolts and bloody gears, oily mechanics are
hallmark his style.

game with irritation are
the source of my images.
The viewer should be en-
couraged to embark on a
journey into fantasy and
so to extend the area of
experience. But also in
my images there are hid-
den allusions and mes-
sages that deal critically
with the topic of our pe-
riod. Technique: Classic

„When you are drawn to the unknown you are also very often enchanted by gazing
into the sky at night for seeking stars and planets, observing the light from the moon

Biography

way, in 1949. After a 30 year long career in the world of computers
from the ‘70s she started painting full time in 2000. After she retired,
painting has become her new life. She has attended local exhibitions

our choice which path we

despite suffering our greed,
that continues to offer us a
wonderful home. There is so
much beauty around us which
we ignore, and this beauty I
try to capture in my paintings.
In return, my paintings have
given me an extraordinary life.

Jose Para was born in Guadalajara Mexico in 1975, he grew within a family devoted to re-
production and creation of Spanish and Latin American baroque and religious art; a primary
influence on his work, filtered through the dramatic and theatre-like sense of the characters as
well as some forms of composition. He joined the School of Arts at the University of Guada-
lajara, then Art Student’s league in NY and finally the atelier of Carlos Vargas Pons in Guada-
lajara. His work is deeply influenced by the baroque great masters. Jose Parra’s work has been
catalogued and published on books in Mexico, United States and Europe.

Bálint Erdei was born in 1981 in Budapest, Hungary. With his works, as
a non-professional artist, driven by an unrelenting interest in visual arts
since his childhood, his aim has been to capture his personal experi-
ences, memories and fantasies resuming both his artistic development
and self-discovery. They can be seen as expressive representations of
inner mental and spiritual processes and memories. Maybe they are
illustrations for a „story book”, yet unwritten… In Budapest, between
2004 and 2008 his drawings were published on the cover of a Univer-
sity monthly periodical and his other drawing were published on a book
cover at Palgrave Macmillan, New York in 2012.

„I have found that the gold has add- 21
ed an empowering element to my
paintings by adding a richness that
could never be achieved with any
other material. I paint over it, drip
paint on it and sometime cover it up
completely because I did not like the
painting and started over...there are
many paintings out there with layers
of gold under them...but you can not

If you’ve been raised to become a mindless, voiceless afterthought to someone else’s ideas,
as many women were in the 1950’s, you have two choices: assimilate or dislodge. To reform
and blunt cut the edges of your broken identity is brutal but necessary work. My work in art
and life.

„Are they me?” she asks as she collides with strangers.“ Are the torn
pieces of me hidden in slivers of everyone else? Will I define my soul if
I trap onto paper and imprison within strokes of pastel, stolen glimpses
of you?” she asks again.
Do we prefer steadfast lacquered finishes to the raw and fleeting im-
ages which expose with singular eloquence our brevity? She strains to
coalesce pieces of others’ humanity shoved through paper and chalk,
desperate to acknowledge them and me.

Others’ eyes become my home and stare back at me, refracting my
missing pieces like a mirrored prism. My frozen view of you who are in
my path reflects how much your scars remind me of mine. Encircled by
your articulate features, my artist’s soul is re-born in the crossfire.“

Hedy Maimann was born in Vienna, the capital of Austria full of cultural treasures be it art,
architecture, music or writing, Always attracted by all forms of art. She studied piano at the
music academy, took ballet lessons and a drawing course. After finishing her studies of mac-
roeconomics at the University of Vienna she took painting lessons at Prof. Josef Maria Svo-
boda and nude drawing lessons at the art university. For a certain time she was part of a group
of Viennese artists and had several exhibitions with them in all parts of Austria. Afterwards

she started to make her own exhibitions and then she got various invita-
tions from galleries in NY and several European cities like London, Paris,
Brussels, Milan, Rome and Buenos Aires to expose her works.

“I prefer to do art than to write about it. For me art is a natural expression
of myself, my energies and my wholeness. I am not sure how much my
earthy experiences flow into my art as when I paint (especially abstract
works) I am more connected to my true essence and that is always beau-
tiful and perfect and somehow out of space and time.”

Julia Striegel is a motivated PhD student who paints, since she can hold a pen in her hand.
After graduating in a study she wants to dedicate herself to the art.
„As Sartre said, my art is defined by the need of feeling that we are essential in relationship
to the world. For me, this need is reflected in painting and drawing. Especially in my portraits
I try to present personalities or abstract concepts. I hope that my pictures can give people
something, telling a story or evoke emotions, so that my work is essential in relationship to
someone.”

“Within beauty inherently lies tragedy, but the grace in it allows us to feel deeply and fully. For
a moment, art can sometimes capture that contradiction.”

Ronald C.Walker www.ronald-walker.artistwebsites.com

Ronald C. Walker’s work is influenced
by both the Dadaist and Symbolist
art movements. It serves as a type of
metaphorical roadmap of his life which
explores the inner aspects of his habita-
tion in and movement through the sub-
urban experience.

The Suburban Pool
Gouache
11x14 inches
2013

Suburban Primitive art is concerned with the effect of life in the suburbs
along with the timeless and universal nature of basic humanity. It is
my belief that man is still largely a tribal creature and that not enough
time has gone by to change us in any real biological fashion. We are, to
phrase it another way just one small step from the cave. How does this
primitive creature function in the gentile world of the suburbs? The an-
swer is, not that well. Hidden under the vail of civilization lies a primi-
tive creature who is a slave of biology and unable to escape their past.
To witness this one doesn’t need to examine larger group activities such
as war or the effects of the mass media. Just go out on a Friday night to
the suburban nightclub and watch the behavior of its clients.

who was a painter. Math teacher for several years, she has stopped teaching for the time
being, determined as she is to devote herself to her art. Looking at her paintings you will
discover a peculiar world. The underlying link between all her paintings is her fascination for
colors, shapes and light, Whatever she paints the crux of her art lies in the way lines, shapes,
colors and media balance one another on the canvas. Ontologically, her art is about this inner
vibrating tension and energy…

Wim Zorn started out as figura-
tive painter, but soon a need to
simplify forms arose. In 2002
Hans Paalman (former direc-
tor of the Schiedam Municipal
Museum in the Netherlands)
started him off on a different
track: Abstraction. The painter
relinquished his reliance on re-
ality and learned to trust his in-
tuïtion and feelings. At once his
studio became both a delivery
room and a laboratory. Here he
creates an autonomous world
of material, form, and colour,
in which spatial experiences are
combined with physical pres-
ence. Everything revolves on an
ultimate combination of sim-
plicity, balance, visual tension,
and the creation of space and
quietude.

Edward Ofosu is a self-
taught artist. From the
age of eight he knew he
would be an artist. In
1997 he started painting
on his own. His works
are versatile and he likes
to experiment with vari-
ous mediums and forms
of artwork. His works are based on realism
but likes exploring with an abstract style. Life
is what inspires the work he does. Since he
moved to London from Ghana he has partici-
pated in various art exhibitions including the
Royal Society of Portrait Painters. In 2009 he
was awarded runner up in the Artist of the
year award, organized by Artists & Illustrators
magazine. He is much interested in the inner
journey and how he can play a role with his
art as a catalyst. He enjoys the doing of it and
shares that joy with every eye that comes into
contact with it.

Kati Lehti is a Finnish visual artist, born in 1977. She has been influ-
enced by the surrealists, magical realists, and outsider artists, as for
example. Also, literature has a great impact on her visual work. In her
early childhood her mother put a pencil in her hand as soon as she
learned to sit up properly. She began painting with gouache at kinder-
garten age. At the age of 4, she dreamed of becoming an artist, a writer,
and a teacher, especially admiring sculptors greatly. In her thirties, she
started to feel an overriding need for painting and working with visual
arts. Up to that point, she has mainly
been painting in secrecy, but as of then
she began to show her work to the pub-
lic. From 2011 on, she’s had several art
exhibitions annually. She’d like to see
that her work be strong yet sensitive,
and somehow comforting. She’d like
to create her own mythic atmosphere
in her works. Kati Lehti is self-educated
and interested in any kind of contem-
porary art.

Drop It Like Its Hot, mixed media, 50x100 cm, 2012

Anne Mwiti’s mixed media expressions are inspired by her daily experiences and interac-
tions with the “modern woman”. Her collages that emerge from fashion magazine cut outs,
controlled paint drips and use of non conventional media such as iron rust, are direct social
commentaries of the Contemporary African society she lives in. She processes colour as a

means to an end and not
an end in itself, bringing
the intensity of raw emo-
tions to the canvas in a
very spontaneous way.
Her paintings draw the
viewer in and take them
on a self discovery jour-
ney. Each artwork is an
experience.

Being a selftought and colorblind
artist, Franck Franck has always
been drawing, painting and creat-
ing since his childhood. He has
only been showing his work for
the last few years hoping, that he
would make a living of it, not to be
recognised as an artist but rather
create more painting, as that is the
only thing he prefers to do for the
rest of his life. He participated in
several collective exhibitions and
art competitions. He does not
make any particular statement with
his creations, it is just a way for him
to escape from the world he is liv-
ing in. For endless reason he finds
this world incomprehensible and
full of injustice. We are – he says
– as human race toxic to the earth
and ourselves.

The contempoary artwork of the 39
Norwegian oil painter, Anett Kilèn
Kennedy, fuses the classical with
modern, figurative with abstract.
-Philippe Guston once pointed out
that there is a mysterious element
to the picture plane –“an imaginary
plane that defies any traditional ex-
planation”. I believe that the mo-
ment we become lost in a paint-
ing, we are closest to the space
between heaven and earth that the
Japanese describes as “Nakazura”,
the silent place of all and nothing.
An inexpressible place, between
dream and reality, for escape and
solace which hopefully, ultimately
heals and leaves the viewer with a
fresh way of seeing Home Base.

As a young painter Anita de Baaij searched for her own identity.
During this quest she enveloped herself in these expressionistic
styles. Later she reaches the inner soul of Expressionism, assisted
by her discovery of connections with Chinese brush painting.
After the discovery of her ultimate love in 2003, we see again
her artistic fire burst and explode. The ensuing flames of the fire
translated into surprising new art forms. With temperament, wil-
ful, endearing, and mythical methods she contributes her own
style to today’s contemporary art.

DanielMcKinley www.danielmckinleypaintings.com

Houses Daniel McKinley’s paint-
ings are samples of what
defines him. „My paint-
ings help understand
who I am. We tend to
show the world, in our
personal lives, a sort of
mainstream version of
ourselves. Never wishing
to expose too much. Through my paintings, the
true person is revealed. A person that even I
did not know existed. Beyond the fact that I am
Daniel McKinley.” Born and raised in the USA.
Currently living and working in New York City.

„The struggle of late is trying to maintain sanity, in a world filled with normality. Where do
you get these ideas from? What was the inspiration? There must be a reason, what were you
thinking? The reasons must be obvious, or they will not be accepted. There are times when I
cannot explain. There are times when there is no reason. When a painting is started and when
the painting is completed the original concept will have completely changed. The painting has
its own idea, I am no longer in control. So I have learned not to question it. There is no sense
in trying to be normal. I was once told to trust my audience. There is no need to explain. They
will find the meaning,and make it there own.”

E.C. Fuchs’ commitment to the visual arts began in his early childhood. During his education
to PhD in natural sciences Fuchs remained faithful towards them, especially light and color
held a permanent fascination upon him. A part of his master thesis deals with color render-
ing of crystals under illumination of different light sources, and his doctorate is about crystals
which convert UV light into visible light. In infrared-photography his goal is to catch warmth
from miscellaneous parts of the world. As painter, Fuchs is engaged in the combination of the
childish-naive with the surrealistic-abstract, the combination of landscape and pattern.

humorous pieces with great
skill, depth and creativity to capture both the eye
and the imagination. “I’ve always been intrigued by
realism. The idea that I can create something to look
so real that it would “fool the eye” compels me. I
think that art should be interactive. It should hold
the viewers attention long enough to make them
question how and why.”

„All my life I have been marveled by all beauty surrounding me. Even in the
simplest of things, I see a whole array of possibilities. This is my love for art,
and why I paint.To express my soul on a canvas. How a painting will turn out
is always a surprise, since I change plans often during the creation process.
I let my subconscious guide me, giving it total freedom. All my paintings are
mixed media, the more the better. A variety of styles combined is what strong-
ly appeals to me, varying from airbrush, brush, drybrush and even dotism
style. The possibilities and combinations are endless. Art is my great journey
in life, it
allows me to express myself
in ways words could never
achieve. Art helps me greatly in
discovering who I truly am, and
through the years it has revealed
many aspects of myself I never
knew existed. For this I am very
grateful, and I hope I can con-
tinue on this path for a long time
to come.”

Kasha Ritter first became aware of the power of drawing when ‘Harold
and the Purple Crayon’ fell off the shelf at the library. It was 1969 and she
was five years old. The idea that one line could change your world was the
beginning of her creative adventure. Her grandmother saw Kasha’s need to
instigate creatively and set her farther on her path with a tin of
busted crayons and a stack of paper. Her current medium, acrylic ink on
canvas, NO BRUSHES ALLOWED, is due in part to the fact she forgets to
clean off paintbrushes as they harden overnight. And partly because she
loves the frenzy of trying to catch the ink as it moves across the canvas
wondering where it will go next. Kasha prefers as little control as possible
as she interacts with her medium.

in the fields of painting and draw-
ing. Her work begins from life with
quick sketches and expressive linear
drawings. Then back at the studio she
develops the drawings, creating com-
positions using various elements of the
drawn line. The paintings and 3d con-
structs are essentially studies about the
drawings rather than realistic portraits
of the subject. After completing her
Masters at Chelsea College of Art and
Design in 2009 she is currently work-
ing from Coldharbour Studios, South
