Dear readers,<br />
I have finally opened the gate of the New Year. There is a city of light in<br />
front of me, flashing towers, purple sky and long endless streets. Where<br />
will they lead me? Hard to answer, but it is good to know that they are<br />
endless.<br />
I promise to you that Musetouch will grow, transform, become even<br />
more beautiful. I promise to you many wonderful surprises, possibilities,<br />
chances and smiles. Smiles above all. I will give my best to make you<br />
happy and accomplished. I will be here.<br />

Mukti Echwanto<br />
“I was born in 1976, in Indonesia. I really like misticism and this strongly affects my work. The<br />
beauty of a photograph is not obligately about being clean and bright ....we must learn to have a<br />
sense, a special touch for it ... so that we can create a photograph which presents not only beauty<br />
to the eyes, but that is also making an impression to the heart ...so ... shoot it with a heart.”<br />

Olga Suvorova<br />
Olga Suvorova was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1966. She studied monumental composition<br />
at the famous St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. Her career has been greatly influenced<br />
by her parents, both highly praised artists in St. Petersburg. Other sources of influence<br />
include Gustav Klimt, Piero Della Francesca, and traditional Russian icons. Olga’s talent and<br />
overwhelming response to her work led and was rewarded with a unique solo exhibition in St.<br />
Petersburg Art Academy in the spring of 1990 where her paintings were received with great<br />
enthusiasm and praise; in 1993 she was awarded the first prize of the year.<br />
Nowadays Olga is an accomplished artist, a well recognized master, possessing her own inimitable,<br />
easily recognizable style, and a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.<br />
It is for her stirring portraits that Olga first gained her reputation in Russia, and then abroad.<br />
These paintings have a startling vitality. Filled with warmth and harmony, the paintings of<br />
Olga make the viewer’s soul kinder and more compassionate. Her paintings of the players<br />
in “Comedia dell’arte” have a lasting quality. Her style can be more realistic in the historical<br />
depictions but it is strongly impressionistic in other scenes. In her paintings Olga sometimes<br />
uses silk fabrics for costume details. Recently she has produced a series of magnificently detailed<br />
screens which have been widely praised and collected.<br />
She exhibits regularly in Paris and London. Olga has also exhibited in Italy, Germany, Sweden,<br />
Finland, France, Britain, Ireland, China, and the USA. Her work is highly regarded and<br />
acquired by galleries and serious art collectors around the globe.<br />
Olga’s beautiful paintings are available through www.academart.com - is an online Visual<br />
Arts gallery representing modern professional paintings by artists from Saint-Petersburg,<br />
Russia. The Gallery was founded in the year 2000 by the “Academy of Arts” Foundation.<br />
In it’s eleven year activity the Foundation has participated with well known and young<br />
talented artists in modern Russian figurative art. We represent more than 50 artists —<br />
graduates and students of the I.E. Repin Institute. The Gallery presents a variety of styles<br />
in oil paintings: Impressionism, Realism, Naturalism, Postmodernism and Fantastic Realism.<br />
The online art gallery of the «Academy of Arts» Foundation provides collectors and<br />
connoisseurs of fine art with original oil paintings. You can order and purchase an artist’s<br />
original composition, Still Life, Landscape, Portrait or masterpiece copy. Art for pleasure<br />
and investment.<br />

Brooke Shaden<br />
Brooke Shaden was born in March of 1987 in Lancaster, PA, USA. She grew up near the<br />
“Amish Country” until attending Temple University. Brooke was photographically born in<br />
December 2008 after graduating from Temple with two degrees: film and English. She now<br />
resides in Los Angeles, CA, USA with her husband and three cats.<br />
She began creating self-portraits for ease and to have full control over the images, and has<br />
since grown into a self-portrait artist. Self portraiture for her is not autobiographical in nature.<br />
Instead, she attempts to place herself within worlds she wishes we could live in, where<br />
secrets float out in the open, where the impossible becomes possible.<br />
Brooke works to create new worlds within her photographic frame. By using painterly techniques<br />
as well as the square format, traditional photographic properties are replaced by otherworldly<br />
elements. Brooke’s photography questions the definition of what it means to be alive.<br />

Shaun Kerr A Visiona<br />
Who are you Shaun?<br />
I am a fine blend of maturity with life’s many experiences, somewhat introverted yet at times<br />
gregarious. I am a complex idealist of intense qualities, a perceptive rational character. I am<br />
an artist, a musician and a visionary creative thinker. My name is Shaun William Kerr and I<br />
am a classical narrative oil painter, originally hailing from Dundee, Scotland and now residing<br />
in Texas, USA.<br />
Why are you an artist, and when did you first become one?<br />
Throughout my childhood I was always content being left alone delving into drawing and<br />
colouring books, paint by numbers and model kits, wondering in awe how adults could paint<br />
great tapestries of real art. Although, music and not art was the path which I followed, and<br />
drawing was a contemplative retreat that I occasionally dabbled and meandered through.<br />
I had previously spent my wild youth pursuing rock n roll dreams as a drummer in Punk/<br />
Goth/Industrial/Heavy Metal bands. This took me to London where I lived and worked as a<br />
Courier and Logistics Coordinator. Relocating years later back to Scotland (and after a few<br />
years as a security guard) life’s path opened another opportunity, so I enrolled to college and<br />
gained an HND in Illustration and Graphic Design. This proved only to be a stepping stone as<br />
my goal of learning how to create beautiful illustrative works of art was just simply not taught<br />
in the local education establishments.<br />
Throughout all these years many mundane non creative jobs sapped the soul, so it was in<br />
2004 that I seriously took up the challenge. I researched all available avenues, analytically<br />
studying in depth the great masters of old and the illustrators of today their paintings, techniques<br />
and anatomy skills, applying these into my own attempts, a continually evolving journey<br />
of self discovery, teaching myself how to paint the stories that I consistently muse over<br />
within my head, images that I have an endless passion to share with the world.<br />
Could you tell us some more about your painting?<br />
Blending the gap between Fine Art and Fantasy my paintings are steeped in historical cultures,<br />
nature’s beauty, Celtic mythology and sublime backgrounds; ethereal and sensual<br />
themes combine with intricate details and portions of symbolism and life’s own enrichment;<br />
an alluring dramatic sense of mystery and beauty unfold engaging the audience with ambiguous<br />
titles to perceive the allegory on a personal level.<br />
I paint entirely now with Alkyd oils in and require an ambient and most definitely distraction<br />
free environment with a variety of soothing or rock music in the background to set variable<br />
moods.<br />

y Creative Thinker<br />
<strong>musetouch</strong> 95
What famous artists have influenced you, and how?<br />
The Pre-Raphaelite influenced Neo-Classical artist John William Waterhouse, whose semi<br />
realistic and Impressionistic mastery of storytelling I see emulated in one of today’s great illustrators<br />
Donato Giancola. It’s this type of realism that I adhere to without the constraints of<br />
photorealism.<br />
Over the years and through the wonders of the internet, my influential list increases daily as<br />
I stumble upon many old and new artists who I greatly admire, and consequently, they push<br />
me to expand my own skills.<br />
What inspires you to create?<br />
Inspirations could come from many sources. I have always been visually stimulated by my<br />
analytical observations of surroundings, nature, scenery, people (their behavioural facets and<br />
appeal), the diversity of photography, models in creative poses, etc. Movies, books, poetry all<br />
lend an inspirational element, all of which I integrate with my own fertile imagination.<br />
What is the message of your paintings, and also your own personal message to the world?<br />
I don’t dictate any type of message other than visual enlightenment. Art should speak for itself,<br />
whatever it may try to convey. I believe that if you have to be told what a painting means<br />
by some upper echelon art critic or that it’s too surreal to comprehend (I love surrealism art<br />
by the way, don’t take that the wrong way)... then the artist has failed.<br />
My own personal message comes as a quote from English fell walker, guidebook author and<br />
illustrator Alfred Wainwright - “One should always have a definite objective, in a walk as in<br />
life-it is so much more satisfying to reach a target by personal effort than to wander aimlessly....life<br />
without ambition is...well, aimless wandering.”<br />
How do you see yourself and your art in the future?<br />
It would be comforting to know that like my peers (and for the profit of my family), I will<br />
continue to refine my abilities and produce numerous rewarding and alluring works of art<br />
that will be appreciated through various channels globally, and in turn, inspire others.<br />

Jean-Simon Beg<br />
“I needed a lot of time to give to the art the place which it had to have in my life. What appeared<br />
to me as being an instinct during several years was able to be analyzed only by a thought become<br />
now mature, critical and articulated. I bathed in the most imaginative and creative sea currents<br />
with only companion my natural display by means of the art. I speak here about exploration and<br />
about bare experiment of aesthetic criteria. I understood one day that the authentic art had to<br />
act as display. This sudden awakening of sense allowed me to manage and create completely by<br />
disregarding aesthetic criteria emitted by our society. The creation is so intense an liberator when<br />
we practise it in the good optics; create for one without any critical glance on the result of the action,<br />
but only concentrate on the action of creation.”<br />

Igor Samsonov<br />
Born in Voronezh, Russia in 1963, Igor Samsonov began drawing when he was six years old<br />
and revealed his talents in his first public exhibition at age ten. Blessed with talent in both<br />
painting and mathematics, Samsonov pursued a duel career in mathematics and art until he<br />
realized that his artistic muse was slowly dying. Applying to the exclusive Academy of Fine<br />
Arts in Saint Petersburg, Samsonov was accepted in 1990 and began his seven years of tutelage<br />
under the finest painters in Russia. During this time Samsonov’s complete immersion<br />
into the art world began to define and sharpen the artistic style that would become his own.<br />
Samsonov’s influence from the early Renaissance period known as the Quattrocentro period<br />
is evident in his work. At this time in art history late Gothic influences were blending with<br />
new 15th century Italian Renaissance sensibilities. Quattrocento artists and sculptors incorporated<br />
the more classic forms developed by Roman and Greek Sculptors. Quattrocentro<br />
artist Piero della Francesca whose style brought a serene humanism to his work is Samsonov’s<br />
favorite from this period. Other influences include15th century Dutch artist Bosch whose<br />
themes dwelled on human sin and moral failings, <strong>17</strong>th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer<br />
whose interior scenes of ordinary bourgeois life seem luminous with his use of translucent<br />
light and <strong>17</strong>th century Dutch artist Rembrandt whose treatment of mankind is full of<br />
human empathy and whose work represents the zenith of Dutch Renaissance painting.<br />
Blending modern artistic techniques and influences with Renaissance traditions has in the<br />
words of one museum curator “ created non-derivative works of unique originality and<br />
beauty.” Linda Zimmerman, curator of his recent exhibition in Scottsdale, Arizona says of<br />
Samsonov “he has such a respect for art history and of the Renaissance painters in particular<br />
but his work incorporates strong modern elements of surrealism and mysticism.”<br />
Samsonov’s rich imagination is the source for most of his subjects. Sometimes serious, sometimes<br />
fanciful and sometimes sublime his compositions are the result of great forethought and<br />
draw much or their power from the themes of conflict that he sees as inherent in the human<br />
and natural world. He explains, “There are always natural elements that oppose each other.<br />
Light and dark, young and old, the beautiful and the horrendous, all of my work plays on<br />
these themes.” Samsonov’s work is rich in symbolism. Many symbols are from the early history<br />
of China usually signifying philosophical ideas such as balance and generosity. Samsonov<br />
often incorporates Latin to title a painting and has created a unique alphabet to incorporate<br />
his most private thoughts about a painting into the work.<br />
