IMTIAJ AHMED

Imtiaj Ahmed Headshot
From his early childhood, Imtiaj always loved to play with gradients of vibrant colors and curved lines with sharp edges containing blurred endings. Colors have always been used as expression, desire and have psychological effects on one's personality. As a self-taught artist, he hopes that his uniquely styled abstract digital art will fill the hearts of people with joy, love and happiness. Imtiaj says,"I'm not here to make fans, but rather I'm here to make people happy!"

artist sofia zolezzi

Sofia Zolezzi is a self-taught artist from Chile. She was born in the coastal city of Viña del Mar, and nature has always been a huge source of inspiration for her. She started learning oil painting at the early age of 8 years old and never stopped painting. She studied Engineering and then became a teacher, but after years of searching for her real passion she decided to become a full-time artist in 2020. Today she is an internationally recognized artist, and her abstract art is focused on the expression through gesture. Each movement creates a different line which represent different emotions, her goal is to transmit positive energy and give to the observer a moment to leave thoughts aside to connect with high vibrations.

JANET DOSSIGNY


Drawing and painting were Janet's very favorite activities, ever since she could first hold a crayon or child's paintbrush. She did not take art classes in college--somebody else was paying her tuition!  She 
did take art classes later in life from an artist friend in California, and then from another artist friend in Colorado. Janet has been a member of CrestoneArtists.com since 2012, where she has shown her work in a group show, and in several open studio tours. She has also shown her work at Peace Theological Seminary in Los Angeles.  

At some point Janet started seeing beautiful colors and shapes during her meditation/spiritual exercises, and experimented with multi-media painting of what they inspired in her. After playing with all the colors in such a joyful way, she would naturally move into a more purposeful mode to compose and complete whatever the playfulness had allowed her to discover. Janet surrenders to her painting process without naming or defining it, and for her, it is uplifting and fun.

SUZANNE FRAZIER 

Art is a vehicle to explore our exterior and interior landscapes.
Viewing the world from a meditative stance, Suzanne Frazier calls herself a Contemplative Artist. She creates work that does not refer to any specific location or time. Each painting lives in its own place and time, free from a particular association. The painting process begins with heavy application of paint with a pallet knife. After the thick paint dries, she begins painting her emotional response to share her contemplation.

ANGEL ESPINO 

The art of Angel Espino has evolved over time into an integration of personal narrative, method, and message. Using creative expression as a means of self-exploration, Espino developed his signature style: using gravity and organic movement to layer intense color from above the canvas, engaging with the color using his hands and sticks to generate intentional form, then reducing layers to reveal and contrast. His abstract expressionist style conveys the wisdom gained from reflection-experiences, planned and unplanned, leaving their marks for us to weave and rend and weave again into a tapestry of meaning.
