The 

First 

Berliner 

Art Book 

- 2016 -

Time without truth has always been, in my opinion, an incomplete notion. And if this art 

album brings together, in quite an extraordinary way, the destinies of artists with unique souls, 

the name of each one deserving a star, only time will inscribe their names in the contemporary 

art, emanating into the ether this artistic vibration, along with the echo of their generous and 

creative personalities. 

WThere is a form of altruism in the richness of the paintings proposed by these exclusive 

contemporary artists, the sum of vast experiences and sometimes of torment, of a sustained 

work in the searching of the Self and in the unfolding of the expressive capacities, in order to 

transmit the unicity of our time. 

This could be a manual of our present, with its infinite forms and colors, themes and subjects. 

I thank, in the name of the group Art Management Berlin, the artists who made this edition 

of international contemporary art, published in Berlin, possible. I wish all of them to keep on 

transmitting and sharing, with the same generosity, and to fully enjoy the fruits of it. 

Affectionately, 

trustee, Gabriela Caranfil

A heartfelt thanks to all those involved into this art project, who made the publishing

Aivars Kisnics 

Aivars Kisnics was born on the 16th of November, 1955, in Madona, Latvia. Since 1956 he lives 

in Liepaja, the most beautiful place at the Baltic Sea. 

His oil on canvas paintings are multi-layered abstractions featuring abrupt changes in texture, 

usingfragmen-tation to catch the traces of the expressive subliminal impulse. As a former 

navigator, he has a special relationships with the sea and its salt water. The focal point of his adult 

professional life is his creative work. 

The meeting of sea and sky, or the ‘horizon’, appears as a recurring trope in his works, along 

with an emphasis on the interaction between horizontal and vertical lines.

Aline Halle-Gilbert 

Aline Halle-Gilbert is an impressionist painter, a self - thought artist, born in Quebec, Canada. She 

has had several personal group exhibitions, and her works can be found in many personal collections 

in different countries, from Canada to the United States and New-Zeeland. 

She feels passionately about painting, doing it in what could be called a compulsive way, using 

acrylic and oil on canvas with a palette knife. 

When she paints, she never knows the outcome. People appear and disappear and the scenery 

evolves through her imagination. She paints from within.

Andy Young 

Andy Young has been working with digital art for about 3 years. He has developed a unique style with 

colorful, multilayered images, with a clever use of a variety of angled brushes which produce imaginative 

effects. With such a style, the genre of his artwork is not specific to one area. There is a nurturing process 

unfolding from a blank canvas to a completed project, following the many twists and turns, and seeing 

one idea mutate into a completely different one is all part of the fun of the journey. His good sense of 

humor and affable nature often spills into his work, and one could describe a lot of what he produces as 

‘quirky’ - as do many of his Facebook and Twitter followers.

Annette Mewes-Thoms 

It is almost always the line which determines Annette Mewes-Thoms present work. The line has arisen 

in the course of the time from her intensive water studies. With pencil, paintbrush or camera she crosses 

and devours lines in several layers. Spaces between the lines grant views into the depth of the picture. 

The artist was born in Brunsbüttel, Germany, and works in her studio in Hamburg. Since 1989 she 

studies painting at Bundesakademie für kulturelle Bildung, Wolfenbüttel, currently with Prof. Rolf 

Thiele, France.

Avi Feiler 

Avi Feiler (b.1949), an Israeli and international artist, is one of the most important figurative artists 

of the modern era and Fantastic Art. About his work he says; it is a reminder and an anchor for the 

culture inherent in the art of painting, a culture of conscious creation, as in the Story of Creation, to 

bring from nothingness-substance, to create dimensions through layers of light, to create warm and 

exciting windows to pass through. The art of painting which requires words creates a limiting scale. 

The real source of art is that which is before words, that which is “causing the “heart flutter, “well of 

butterflies” derived from my comes up choking in the throat, it lights stars in the eyes, a feeling of 

life, love, beauty. There is already enough negative energy on the scales of our existence. I consciously 

choose to create positive energy through my work. The personal qualities of the painter Avi Feiler are 

clearly expressed in the wide variety of his paintings. His painting techniques were perfected through 

the many years of his work, all over the world.

Barbara Carter 

Barbara Carter (Barbie) is a self-taught artist who grew up on a farm in the country side of Texas, 

in the USA. Having no toys to play with, she used the only thing she had: her imagination. Using 

that imagination gave her the tools to become the artist she is today. In the plowed fields behind 

her house she would draw an imaginary play house, then would proudly sit on a row of dirt with 

only a pencil and lined paper in her hands and would draw and dream of becoming an artist. Those 

childhood circumstances were the fuel which have set her artistic vision on fire and it´s precisely 

those experiences which render each piece of her art an expression of that same imagination which 

allowed her to dream an impossible dream and make it become her reality. Good art is not so much 

about technique as about an expression that moves your soul. Having raised her family, Barbie is now 

able to fully devote her life to her art. You`re invited to come along and share her journey.

Bonita Tabakin 

As a “plein air” artist, her mediums honor the earth, trees, and women. For eons, wood has 

provided for life, health, shelter, solace and escape. These processes enlighten the emotions, while 

telling stories. The mediums she selects transcend the viewer to explore their relationship with 

the earth. She devotes her work to health through colors. 

“Color for Health ” resides in many USA, foreign and cooperate locations, and publications. 

She was juried to study with two world greats: Picasso and L. Colbert Dubois.

Bea Danckaert 

Bea Danckaert was born on May 15th, 1948 in Leuven and resides in Blanden. She graduated from 

the Art Academy de Lei in Leuven and perfected her drawing skills during five years with Joost Laroy. 

Bea’s paintings, according to Hugo Brutin, are a constant ambush for those who admire colours, 

movement and interaction, of presences with a low visibility who seem to flee when one can nearly 

catch them. 

Dani Pulinckx adds: The simplicity she reflects in her work shows her ability as an artist who goes way 

further then only technique would allow. 

Contact details can be found on her website: www.danckaertbea.com, including her portfolio of which 

more than thirty paintings are incorporated in the P.G.M. Art World catalogue.

Chris Riley 

After taking retirement in 1996, at the age of 61, he attended Concordia University. He graduated 

(Suma Cum Laude) in 2001 with a degree in Fine Arts, specializing in Studio Arts, Drawing & 

Painting. He is a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society, Concordia Chapter. 

To Chris Riley, aesthetically successful art regardless of media, and whether objective or nonobjective, 

combines all pictorial elements such as shape, form, and color into a composition that is 

structurally sound. 

“Like the work of nature, the work of art is subordinated to the same law, that of construction. The 

individual parts have life by virtue of the whole.” 

Kandinsky – 1912/1913

He is a member of the Art Organization ULUS of Serbia. 

He had W10 independent exhibitions and participated in more than 50 group ones. 

His present style is based on constant experiment and development, growing from geometric 

and poetic - wWhich one might even call lyrical - abstract painting, to some kind of own figurative

Dmitry Fesechko 

Dmitry Fesechko, born in 1988, is an artist from Moscow who works in different mediums – 

acrylics, digital art, but most of the time he dedicates himself to painting in oils. He uses unique 

multilayer technique that takes its origin from old masters of the past. Translucent shadows and 

volumetric light create the illusion that the painting is like a window to another dimension. Many 

of his works are an extraordinary blending of gorgeous fantasy and deep philosophy; others are 

made in more classical genres.

Francesco Sandrelli 

Painting as knowledge or painting as expression? 

For Sandrelli it is a kind of ecological love for the universe. The fact is a part of the evolving 

cosmos. He wants to achieve a map which would lead to knowledge against pure self-celebration 

or celebration of the individual. If one wants to compare, one would rather find a term of 

comparison in the Middle-Ages rather than in the modernism and in its evaluation of the world 

based on the Self.

Fred Smilde 

Fred has a Masters in piano performance from Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins 

University. While in the Doctoral program, amidst teaching and the good fortune of recording a CD, 

he decided it was in his best interest to leave. In October of 2008 he began to paint. The challenges 

and problems one faces in the two mediums (music and painting) are the same though the technical 

means are different. One is faced with the utilization of space to make a comprehensible whole. 

Structure in time becomes structure in space.

Gary Andrew Law 

Artist and musician, Gary Law, has paintings and drawings hanging in private collections in 

Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, 

Poland, Scotland and the USA. 

Gary translates mental abstractions and philosophical notions into images tempered by emotion. 

His art comes from an intuitive need to transport what resides in his head to a painting. He traverses 

representational and abstract forms with a current preference for abstract and a passion for texture 

and colour. Both the dark and the vibrant are explored through extensive mixed media. Gary has 

become a fearless experimenter, combining techniques and materials in unusual ways.

Henrik Brøndsted 

Henrik Brøndsted, a self-taught photographer with a master’s degree in film and communication, 

has worked for years with black and white portraits. Always trying to go behind the surface and 

capture emotions and feelings. He won a gold medal for one of his portraits in an international 

photo competition. In the last two years, he has gone further and is now exploring the themes 

of identity and time. With long exposure he «stretches» the photos, and so duration becomes 

evident and identity seems to vanish. The photographic realism disappears and from his photos, 

very light grey and soft, a sort of poetry emerges.

Isabel Tapias 

Isabel Tapias started as a graphic design student specializing in illustration, airbrush, and computer 

design, in which she has worked as a professional. Whilst she was working, she continued with oil 

painting and became a pupil of the important painter Angel Orcajo. 

Among her advertising works are magazine covers and inside advertising, as well as some designs 

for Nintendo. 

From 1998 to 2015 she has done several exhibitions in galleries, cultural centers, and has also 

taken part in important art fairs around Spain. 

A description of her work might be: representing nature through the use of different materials to 

create a harmonious work showing us the varied aspects of our Universe. 

The technique: use of different kinds of textures such as stone, dust, cloth or sand. This emulates 

distinct motifs of nature which in turn highlight its expressiveness. She feels the necessity to 

experiment with new things, which in turn give her different focus on her work, meanwhile 

producing suggestive aspects.

Jorge Vilaca 

Jorge Vilaca’s relationship with art started early. First in Portugal and afterwards in all the places 

he went to. 

His passion for painting became a reality in 2006. Since then he has developed a strong and 

consistent path that lead to his participation in many exhibitions. 

His artistic personality reflects his character and unique originality. These features arose in him 

the will to improve his professional skills. So he tried different techniques, giving them his personal 

vision. 

A strong sensuality is easily captured in his art. Nevertheless, Jorge is still the shy teenager who 

sees the world for the first time.

Joseph Watchman Kaliher 

“A free flying magical, a mystery tour of a mind turned inside out and displayed in naked 

wonder to the world.” This is one of the many quotations which concern this visionary and 

talented artist. 

Joseph Watchman Kaliher was born in Texas in 1970; he attended the Fine Arts Academy of 

Florence, Italy, and the Institut Supérieur de Peinture “Van der Keelen et Logelain” in Brussels, 

Belgium. Joseph´s talent and training, along with his multi-facetted personality, have allowed 

him to work in many fields of the visual arts: from interior design to portrait and surrealism. 

His works are, in fact, the interpretation of his philosophy, which he named “Genuine Rethoric”. 

Among Kaliher´s appraisers are Paloma Picasso and the Fondazione Enrico Coveri, which 

wanted to have his works alongside those of “giants” such as Keith Haring and Man Ray. Since 

June 2003, he has been working only for Galleria Paviglianiti of Florence, Italy.

Born January 8th, 1947, in Ostrava, Moravia. 

Lives and works in Bern, Switzerland. 

Is a notorious moon-shiner & retro-runner through time ...unbuttoning the past with offbeat 

methods, he distils history’s indigestible events, thus laying down an all-time valid guidance on 

how to stay out of reach & keep out of range. 

So obviously…(NeO-)dAdA or rather DEONADA is still alive !

Kurt Steinle 

Kurt Steinle was born in Aachen in 1954 and now lives on a small farm from the 17th century, 

just over the border, in Belgium. A few years ago, he discovered photography to be his passion. 

He has attended a few workshops by the theatre photographer Rainer Gillessen and then turned 

especially to portraits and street photography. He particularly likes to stroll through Paris. 

If the represented scene requires people, he tries to preserve the privacy and identity of the 

persons in it, meaning that if ever he is to show faces, which happens quite seldom, he does it 

with great care.

Leo Bautović, a versatile artist, was born in 1981 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. He is a member of 

ULIPUD’s (Association of Fine and Applied Artists Dubrovnik) .He held his own and was part of 

group exhibitions. The painter tends to experiment, so his work varies in themes and techniques. 

Great attention is given to background, where one can see a combination of painting techniques 

such as putty knife and brush. 

Leo often combines realism with his own imaginary impressions, which gives a unique signature 

to his art.

M.L.Burdick 

“Each object, every thought, has its own energy and frequency. To capture essence by being 

fully engaged is my purpose as an artist. In this way the act of painting becomes a bit like an act 

of communion. It’s a dialog between me, the materials and the moment.”

Naila Deeb 

One of the first women artists in Jordan, Naila Deeb was born in Jerusalem, Palestine, in 1944. She 

now lives in Amman, Jordan. 

At the encouragement of her mother, Naila began taking private art lessons at the age of nine, 

before attending Wimbledon School of Art, UK, for a while. 

Travelling has left an impact on her way of seeing and on her use of color. Her surroundings, too, 

affect her choice of color and of subjects. She is painting portraits of interesting people, animals, 

especially her pets, and wild flowers. 

Oils are Naila’s favourite medium.

Pascal Russi 

Pascal Russi has been painting for over twenty-five years. 

Given that he always wanted to avoid compartmentalization in a single register, his 

painting is constantly evolving through experiment. It gives him pleasure to create, to take 

the liberty of choosing a new path or an opposite direction, incorporating new techniques 

into his concept, without dispersing it. 

A disability depriving him of the use of one hand, makes him think twice before starting 

a project.

Roswitha Klotz 

Roswitha Klotz is a German artist, who grew up in Bad Kissingen, qualified in Munich and is 

now living in Regensburg/Bavaria. 

Painting and making music are the two constant companions in the life of Roswitha Klotz. 

After a long time of figurative painting, she realized that she could at best reveal what she wanted 

in an abstract version. 

The sounds and sensitive colors of music are reflected in her paintings, along with the magnificent 

inspiration of nature she got on many trips to Italy and Greece and a lot of countries of Europe 

and the U.S.A. Right beside it, the motives and structures of music often give the background 

of her art. 

After all, her paintings show a very beneficial reflection of the world. Her philosophy is to show 

people the beauty in art, in order to have an impact and enhance the positive side of life.

Romulo Galicano 

Romulo Noel Galicano born in Carcar, Cebu Philippines, in 1945. He started painting landscape, 

studying direct observations of colors from nature, and following Leonardo da Vinci’s advice 

that nature is the best teacher. This also served as preparation for figures. 

When he migrated to Manila, he became an adept of portraiture, as a means of gaining more 

advanced knowledge of the human figure, especially the physiological state of the figure. By 

painting portraiture for many years, it eventually had allowed him to advance to the Grand 

Manner of figure painting and genre painting, which he began nearly thirty years ago. 

Galicano’s work is, technically, academic in rendering, but his philosophical approach is basically 

ABSTRACT. In judging his work (and those of others). his first concern is the INTEGRITY of 

the whole. The style and subject are only secondary. 

“The vertical lines in his painting are a reconciliation between opposite poles and the merging 

of the SUBJECTIVE and the OBJECTIVE. Creating a new meaningful work of art.” 

He believes that every artist, no matter what his stature is, should never be a prisoner of himself 

or of his philosophy, reputation, success and above all his vanity. 

The direction of every artist should be FREEDOM.

Siddiq Mumtaz 

Siddiq Mumtaz was born in New Delhi, India, in 1934. 

He had been raised in India and Pakistan, having lived also between USA & UAE. He grew up in 

a city which has a violent and charged history related to the independence movement of India and 

Pakistan of 1930-1947. Whenever he stands in front of his easel to paint any subject, it literally is like 

a re-enactment of the entire set of memories, lost in a pile of rubble. Being a Muslim, he discovers a 

project,” Visual Dhiker” (meaning visual remembrance of God) through his Paintings. 

He successfully draws the beauties of ugly things. 

He studied in Jamia Milia Delhi, Model High School Karachi Pakistan, Meyo School of Art (now 

NSA). Lahore, Pakistan. He spent the 45 years after his studies in business. He is owning an interior 

designing firm: “DESIGNING RESORT”.

Thierry Noben 

Photography has always been a hobby for Thierry Noben, either as a tool in the practice of his 

profession as an architect or while traveling as a way to catch vacation memories. 

But today, this passion takes a new direction, so that one may speak of «artistic» photography. 

Remy Donadieu said: «Photography embellishes misery by dressing light.» 

For his part, with this first series of photographs, he would rather magnify the subject. By 

photographing damaged, worn, cracked, rusted objects, he wants to get an emotion, to bring 

out the beauty in these ever-present elements or on these surfaces, despite their transformation 

due to weather and time.
