Mery Godignat-Collet

Mery Godigna Collet, born in Caracas Venezuela, 1959, has participated in 25 solo and 36 group exhibitions in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, New York, Miami, New Mexico and Texas.

As her thinking on the visual arts evolved, her ideas and attitude on how to approach art has changed. Her interest in ecological matters has grown and the “concept” has become the “nuclei” of her work. The concept and the technique run parallel though morphogenesis principles, as the artist acts as an “activator” producing a cause in the unconventional materials she uses. The final “consequence” allows her to reach her goal: Portraying the subject with the subject. In her works, she shows a tendency to minimalism where the only statement is a call to reflection.

Mery Godigna Collet’s artistic proposal is based on 4 research projects involving new techniques that reveal ways “concepts” translate through “matter.” Matter, Time, and Space (Materia, Tiempo, y Espacio) 1997, Done with Fibers (Hecho con Fibra) 2003, Metallic Light (La Luz Metalica) 2006, Extra Virgin Petrus Oil, 2008

Ivonne Torres

Mexican artist Ivonne Torre’s Abstract Expressionist painter. Colors and textures are woven together to create powerful harmonious compositions. For her the process of painting becomes a unique pad full with lines and forms developing her own style. In Ivonne’s paintings it is a sense of non-restriction in terms of matter or forms, always creating energetic and instinctive feel in her pieces. Formally educated as an Interior designer, Ivonne is intrigued by the people, places and things that create and bring her works of art to life. Her work reflects the brilliance and color scheme which attracts people from all over the world. After spending a few years in New York she decided to reside in the warmth of South Florida.“Painting to me is a moment to self-discover, and that allows my soul to take over the canvas”
