Originally from Canada, Georges Armand, Canadian painter, is the youngest of a family of 6 children with artistic talent. Of self-educated nature, he showed from an early age a fascination for the universe of the visual arts. His adolescent interests were aimed at experimenting different artistic techniques and several art categories. Today, in addition to evoking an obvious care in the fluidity of its feature, it is with an ease that the artist transposes us in his own universe. It is by a fusion between the blend of the textures and lights, emphasized by a contrast wished, that Georges Armand puts the characters of his works in dramatic and aesthetic scenes within a contemporary urban atmosphere.

My artistic effort in digital painting was founded its origin in the oil painting, where I was passionately focusing my energy for several years.

Il Retrò [retrospettivo] è uno stile culturale che tende a dar rilievo a ciò che richiama le mode passate ed incentiva all'utilizzo di tutto ciò che attualmente è definito "d'epoca".
Lo stile che ora si chiama "Arte Retrò" è un genere di Pop Art sviluppata fra gli anni quaranta e cinquanta, in risposta al bisogno di una grafica audace ed accattivante, che fosse facile da riprodurre con dei torchi semplici. Ben distinguibile dallo stile moderno computerizzato, l'arte Retrò ha avuto un ritorno di popolarità grazie alle citazioni e parodie delle vecchie opere Pop Art.

Алексей Антонов: "I was born in Russia in 1957, and I've been trying both hands (I'm ambidextrous) at art ever since. I can remember my self from the age of two, and when I was three, I was the terror of my mother's make-up kit, as I loved to draw murals on the wallpaper with her lipstick. All through my childhood I continued drawing, and in high school, though I left much to be desired in my other classes, I excelled in art and singing. I think that I was not a good student in other areas, because I prefer to teach than to be taught. Eventually though, I learned to learn. In 1972 I entered the State Art College in Baku, where impressionistic, realistic, and abstract painting were taught...but no classical.
Jacek Yerka, pittore surrealistaPolacco, nato a Torun in Polonia, vive e lavora con la sua famiglia, in un enclave rurale della sua nativa Polonia. Inizia con lo studiare Storia dell'Arte e segue corsi di grafica, poi si dedica alla pittura nel 1980. Dipinge (dapprima solo su tela con olio e acrilico) con meticoloso realismo stile fiammingo. Nei suoi lavori s'intravvede la pastorale atmosfera della campagna polacca, che però fa da base non strutturale, difatti la magia sognante di Yerka s'ispira ai pittori e personaggi del 15°-16° secolo: Cagliostro. Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Hugo van der Goes e Jan van Eyck ed anche il moderno Magritte: una magia che in lui è fatta di cultura, grande immaginazione e simbolismo.

Petrus Christus, 1410 circa-1475 circa, è stato un pittore Fiammingo. Appartenne alla cosiddetta "seconda generazione" del periodo dei Primitivi Fiamminghi, dopo la prima dei fondatori Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden e Robert Campin.
- Il periodo dei Primitivi Fiamminghiè quella fase della pittura nelle Fiandre legata alla nascita della sua straordinaria scuola, la più importante, con quella italiana, nel panorama delle arti figurative europee del Quattrocento. Questa scuola normalmente dipingeva quadri a tematica religiosa e intensi ritratti. Utilizzando la tecnica dell'olio, otteneva uno stile minuto, eccelso nella riproduzione di oggetti, nello spiccato naturalismo e nella resa del paesaggio in profondità spaziale.
Lo stile del Christus prese le mosse dal realismo minuto di Van Eyck, concentrandosi poi soprattutto sulla resa dello spazio, fino ad adottare una costruzione prospettica razionale con un unico punto di fuga, primo fra i pittori nordici. Forse seguì l'esempio di pittori italiani, tra i quali si ipotizza una conoscenza diretta con Antonello da Messina. Dopo la metà del secolo, sull'esempio di Van Der Weyden, le sue opere assumono un tono monumentale, ma importante resta anche la produzione di ritratti, che spiccano per l'intimo realismo e la resa psicologica.
