Nina Leen



Nina Leen was one of the first women photographers for LIFE. Born in Russia, grew up in Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Upon first arriving in the United States in 1939, her reporter's eye led to a series of the habits and rituals of her newly adopted homeland. In 1945, Leen joined LIFE, producing over 40 covers and countless spreads for the magazine. Her series on, "A Teenager Monopolizes the Telephone," or her descriptions and images of "The American Male," are portraits of the North American society of its time.

—"I strive to be simple. I like small things, dirty art and banjo music. Most of the time I am called Angela. I was born and bred in Los Angeles. My father and my brother are both professional artists. My mother is an expert craftsman. I am not."

I believe humans are multi-faceted and multi-dimensional which i believe is the nature of psychedelia. To be able to express whatever i so desire, all the sides that have as yet gone unseen in the 3rd dimension is a lifetimes worth or work."—Interviewed by cosmiccrystalsdyrtipigs.

Aleksandra Waliszewska



http://www.waliszewska.blogspot.com

Born in 1976 in Warsaw, Aleksandra Waliszewska graduated from Warsaw Art School and Academy of Fine Arts. "I’m more interested in depicting states of emotion. Narratives tend to arise by themselves, they kind of evolve by their own will." "I love pre-modern art. It is an endless source of inspiration for me, a true bottomless well of ideas. Looking at some picture throughout the years, I can continue to find new elements in it, discover new qualities that I didn’t notice before. My real favourites would be Hans Memling, Enguerrand Quarton and Nicolas Poussin. I have definitely less interest for modern art."—Interviewed by http://www.mydancetheskull.com/

Fred Tomaselli






1. Glassy, 2006.
2. Butterfly effect, 1999.
3. Torso, 1999.
4. Laura, 1995.

b.1956 in California, lives in New York. 'Fred Tomaselli is celebrated for the ecstatic fantasies he presents in his pictures—explosions of color, laced with art-historical references, that both invite transcendence and hint at the more toxic, monstrous visions that can accompany quests for the sublime. He uses a range of techniques, including collage, painting and glazing, to make his highly decorative pictures that are often described as psychedelic—particularly since he has infamously included pills and marijuana leaves among his collage materials (which once led to his works being detained by customs officials in France)'.

"I want people to get lost in the work. I want to seduce people into it and I want people to escape inside the world of the work. In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it. I love nature, I love gardening, I love watching birds, and all of that gets into the work. I just try to be true to who I am and make the work I want to see. I don’t have a radical agenda."-source

Gilda Mantilla

Visual artist who lives and works in Lima. Fauna forms part of "Dibujando B...", a research project by Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chavez, around drawing, travel and latinamerican context. First phase, three week river trip from Peruvian Andes to the triple peruvian, colombian and brazilian border with notebooks and pencils. Second phase, studio work. "We like to draw; we think it underlies all we do as a knowledge and experience tool. Those connecting dots allow us to create an image of the world. Drawing may allow us to rethink it or imagine it in different ways."
