“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

I have chosen this artist, because of her strong and bright colors and of feminine nature. In my humble, not professional, opinion, this work of the colorful dresses is not the best creation of an exquisite art. The paintings are very specific and require customers who appreciate the style.

The artist is using an acrylic in her work.

Look at these bags! Do you want to be seen? May be it is something for you! Can these bags be called for art?

First when I saw it, I couldn’t decide which material the artists used in their work. Then I went on the artists’ website and was surprised by discovering that their works are from wood or metal. The strong colors and the shape mix in the sculptures are too overwhelming for me. I have difficulty to associate these sculptures as a part of my house. Although my imagination is blocked where I would place these timepieces, I am wondering about what are other people’s fantasies about this art. I am sure there plenty of people who like this style of art a lot. Anyway, art is art and it should be fairly judged and it is your turn to do it.


Techniques information: techniques implied from a simple brushing on of the acrylic paints, to adding various mediums to the paint. Things like gel medium, sand, soil, water etc. all combine to produce the look sought for the piece and also used of sprays to produce some of the most eye catching patterns in color.

Rainer Lagemann uses metal squares to sculpt the human form, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body.
I my opinion this art is more suitable to public buildings with a lot of space. I have seen a lot of likewise sculptures in Sweden, I wondering if it is the same artist?

Nha Vuu

from the Art festival in Ft. Lauderdale

I was thrilled by the work of this artist. For me, she is the best what I have seen in this show. Although I was already tired of everything that I saw, I couldn’t just pass her stand.

I perceive so much thoughtfulness, tranquility and peacefulness in her paintings. Vuu’s art, without doubts, stand out from crowd.

I would love to buy her paintings, if I would have money for that.



Information about her: Nha studied art in Taiwan for five years and developed the traditional principles of unity, balance and movement. She uses a contemporary style of Chinese painting and her work emphasizes superior brushwork in order to lend density, depth and an expressive power to mountains, trees, rocks and landscapes. The traditional painter uses fine solid strokes while the modern painter utilizes textured brushstrokes. Nha Vuu, a student of both schools, has combined the two methods to create her own unique body of work.


This gives her paintings the feeling of boundlessness and timelessness. Nha Vuu has developed her own style which embraces ancient yet sophisticated concepts of emptiness as well as contemporary brushstrokes which give her work “life-movement.”

The love of nature has been embodied in the fine stainless steel creations of these two artists. Creativity and imagination evolved into their work. All of the bronze shades are brought out naturally and any other color has been added by the use of paint.



From whimsical frogs to decorative butterflies, you will find no finer handmade sculptures than the creations of this talented couple.
Unfortunately, the photos on these charming hammering creations don’t look as good as in life. I need to mention that each art piece is approximately 2 meters high.
