Written by on May 14, 2012 in Featured Artist , Fine Art.

If I had to pick one art movement that has fascinated me since my first days in art school they would have to be Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

When I first had the pleasure of seeing and later working with Trish I felt that natural attraction ...

Victor: I’m a 36 year old Photo Artist, from Barcelona. My college education was in the School of Architecture, as that was supposed to be my profession.
However, and due to the fact that since early years of my life there was always a computer at home, in particular, because of the job of my father and, in combination with that fact that most of the times, in my childhood, I enjoyed playing alone, using my imagination, I started to get in touch with several kinds ...
