ManenaShe is a Colombian artist, was born in the city of Medellin . “ The pictorial work of Manena, Maria Elena Elvira, is pure nature alive “. The handling of color, the tenuous shadows, and her subtle figures make her paintings a gift to the observer. The green in her leaves with perfect details, the stylized anthurios with a touch of femininity, her fruits with surreal forms, and the crystalline waters in a serene sea are the complements to her effort to achieve an art in tune with the times. The work of Manena praises the fertility and sensuality of life. It is the representation of the voluptuous and the sensual in a perfect mix of lively color and forms. She is an excellent drawer and a vibrant painter that moves you with her art work.

Vianey
Vianey, born and raised in Colombia, Vianey grew up wanting to be an artist. His early career as an artist began in the theater. As most young artists, he always had the dream of studying Contemporary Art in New York, and today he is living in that city.
His artwork is known for figurative colorful faces and abstract patterns. It is through painting that he finds his way to convey the message that the world is a stunning place. Recently he was invited by the Grau Foundation, to participate in an exhibition to honor Colombian artist Enrique Grau, in Bogotá, Colombia. This was an important recognition, as it was Enrique Grau, along with Fernando Botero, Alejandro Obregón and David Manzur who helped establish Colombian art internationally. It is paradoxical that it is in the United States where Vianey started getting recognized as an artist, but after this event he is getting considerable attention in his native Colombia.
His art is mainly collected by, recently Hollywood actor John Leguizamo's mother, Luz, and the famous Venezuelan actress Gaby Spanic joined Vianey's list of collectors.
Vianey also joined Colombian leader and designer of leather fashion, Mario Hernández, and together they launched the line "Vianey", by Mario Hernández, which includes handbags and accessories. This line of products is available in museums and art stores in New York, Colombia, Miami (Art District Design), and other countries through Mario Hernández's own stores.
Vianey will continue working mainly in New York and Miami. Currently he is planning some exhibitions across Europe and Canada.

Cristina ManoleBorn to an Italian mother and a Romanian father with a deep love for the arts, I was exposed to the classics and the works of the masters since infancy which boosted in me a passion for painting at a very young age.
I began my artistic formation before my teens. As a young girl, while my parents were stationed in Peru, I studied at the German Suarez-Vertiz Academy of Art which provided a very solid classic formation. Later, in Argentina, I continued my formation with Anton Abreu Bastos a Spanish expressionist painter. After that I worked in the Rodolfo Insaurralde studio, I thanks him for his lessons on color and composition – the use of pigments and working with a limited palette.
I could describe myself as a realist painter, with an expressionist vibe, trying to portray not only what I see but my feelings towards what I am most passionate about is people, their faces and their gestures, I think that is why one of the things I love the most are portraits.
