Untitled by Dagmara Zaczeniuk @Dag Art (Facebook) Acrylic on canvas 80 x 80 cm 2020 In Focus: Nudes The #humanbody can be a beautiful thing to contemplate. It can be an artistic tool in and of itself, just as flowers, sunsets, and mountains are similarly useful tools in the artist's toolkit. And if the point of art is primarily to express ideas about the nature of humanity and man's role in the world then it would be natural to expect that the unadorned human form would be among the most powerful of those expressive tools.

Headless by Debbie Bonello @debbiebonellos Oil on canvas 40 x 50 cm 2020 In focus: #nudepaintings 'What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?' Michelangelo

Kappar by Della Camilleri @della_camilleri_art Acrylic on canvas 40x40cm Featured artist: Della Camilleri Photorealism rejected the painterly qualities by which individual artists could be recognized, and instead strove to create pictures that looked #photographic. Visual complexity, heightened clarity, and a desire to be emotionally neutral led to the depiction of ordinary subject matter that likened the movement to pop art. The early 1990s saw a renewed interest in photorealism, thanks to new technology in the form of cameras and digital equipment which offered more precision.

The Toolbox by Della Camilleri @della_camilleri_art Acrylics on canvas 40 x 40 cm 2020 Featured artist: Della Camilleri 'My first #acrylicpaint and brushes were gifted to me by my husband and I never believed I was going to make good use of them.

Untitled by Prestigiacomo Roberto @robertoprestigiac Acrylic on cardboard 30 x 40 cm 2005 'In my art, I try to involve the viewer through the use of #colourcontrast, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. In particular, I like to visually represent the game of the mirror that regulates the psychological dynamics in #humanrelationships. Man for me is an expressed or unexpressed desire from which all his #social behaviors derive. From how he relates to others he can slowly go back to the discovery of his deepest essence and thus achieve the greatest success .... which is not a profession, sports, etc ... But the most important thing of all: #beinghuman.'

Days Gone by by Caroline Said Lawrence @cslawrenceart Acrylic on canvas 50 x 50 cm 2020 'My childhood experience of East Africa was so #profound that even three decades later my memories of it remain intensely #vivid. My recollections of the #vibrant light and #brilliantcolours of that landscape invariably surface time and again in my paintings. For me, self-expression through art is an all-consuming objective. I feel driven by this creative urge within me, a compulsion that all artists can relate to. The quality of my life is contingent upon being able to paint and to perfect my art.'
