Because I am going with open-minded on exploration, I am out of control until I feel the intensity of the leading thread of my life.

Karin Bos Netherlands. Born: Rijswijk, 1966. Lives and works in Amsterdam. At first glance, the picture work of Karin Bos evokes a pleasant world. Bright colors and motifs that refer regularly to childhood contribute to this. However, slightly absurd discords and frictions then raise questions that remain unanswered. The extras in her work are often knights errant and stray heroines or otherwise out of context dislocated characters. They reflect "The Search", but the only evidence they put on the wrong track. Just as they think they have unraveled mysteries, solves the answer to a new question. So everything they embrace their journey only provides a semblance of certainty.Personal web

He was born and trained as artist and art teacher in Edinburgh (Scotland). He is mainly working outdoors, directly from nature, choosing characters and selecting scenes which record the essence of the Algarve and its people. The strongest influence comes from the subject itself, it determines the mood and style of the picture, which can appear as a mixture of cartoon images and three dimensional studies, sometimes overlapping to give a surrealistic effect. He blends historical characters with everyday people and consciously distorts the perspectives. He also works in three dimensions, creating sculptures in metal and wood.videos

My sister Cristina Bruno is a pianist, and my son, Blas Bruno, is an architect in Blue Hill, Maine.  Friends of the house were mostly artists.”. My studies in Art History and French took me to Switzerland, other studies took me to London, and since then I have traveled in Europe, India, Mexico and South America. In 1975 I came to the United States to marry Werner Torkanowsky, an orchestra conductor of international renown.  Here we led, together, a life dedicated to each other and our Art until 1992, the year of his untimely death.  Maine has continued to be my residence, with frequent visits to Spain.
