Born in Matanzas, Cuba, Candida is a graduate of the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Matanzas and Escuela Nacional de Arte Cubanacan in Havana. Candida has been exhibiting her work in the Miami area for the last twenty years. She has taught art in Cuba and done art restoration/conservation work for the Centro Nacional de Conservación del Instituto Nacional De Bellas Artes in México City, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Havana. Candida has been an illustrator and done graphic design work, as well. She principally utilizes the human figure, and the personage of fairies and centaurs, as symbolic elements to treat the theme of the feelings and attitudes in her artwork, utilizing several, and mixed, techniques. Her paintings and drawings reflect her recognition of the emotions of danger, sadness and beauty.

Mary Pratt, Maryland, Winter 2019, painting/drawing

Mary Pratt, a Georgia-based artist, is known for her impressionistic yet modern oil paintings that capture the world with a jovial poise. Her soft, ethereal palette is complemented by the occasional bright pop of color. The artist’s aesthetic choices are intuitive rather than premeditated. Through her gestural brushstrokes, Mary’s paintings summon a joyful, even childlike, emotional response.

Her style is nuanced by a range of inspirations, including synergy from the state of Georgia. The personal edge that Mary brings to each painting alters and enhances recognizable subject matter, cultivating an imaginative visual experience.

Manuel Ojea, Las Tunas, Cuba/Valencia, Spain, Summer/Fall 2017, painting

To feel nostalgia is, in its strict sense, to notice a deep pain when remembering something that is no longer here: a person, the longing for a particular time or the place or origin of each one. To get used to it is to live constantly in the memory of an idyllic time.

Ulf Enhorning, Sweden, 2017 & 2017, painting, music, audio/video

Ulf Enhorning, born in Stockholm, Sweden, grew up in Sweden, Canada and the United States. At an early age his grandmother, Louise Peyron, also a painter, introduced him to the works of old masters at galleries in Stockholm. She told him stories about their lives and also encouraged his interest to draw and sculpt his siblings. Salvador Dali was Ulf's greatest hero at this time, but when he later immigrated to Toronto with his family at the age of 15, he was greatly inspired by the mystical landscape paintings of Lawren Harris.
