“Believe it or not, I can actually draw.”
Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist and the first artist of African descent to become an international art star. His career in art began as a graffiti artist in New York City, and in the 1980s produced Neo-expressionist painting. Basquiat died due to a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988, at the age of 27.
Rodrigo Banus is a young talented painter from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He started to paint when he was fifteen years old. He has a large productivity and more and more people are getting to know his works.
I do love his works because they are colorful and give me a happy feeling.
Title of the painting on the photo is Equs.

Painter, Argentina (1966)
Personally I love the style of this Argentinian painter very much.
His works have a sense of mystery. The figures and colors do remind me of the Art Deco period!
ARTIST AND CALLIGRAPHER ALIFYA DARUWALA

She loved doing space art when she was 10.. She admired the vast universe and galaxies and other various solar systems that existed in this region which knew no bounds…She was amazed for such “a wonderful creation by god ever made”…this increased her knowledge and motivated her to sketch different landscapes of planets with their moons.. She also practiced calligraphy of her own made words in different patterns and gave designs to it in her own style of creation….
This painting is titled Astronomical View

Nandita Ritchie is a self taught artist and paint in the Impressionistic style. Her works are highly textured with a sense of relief work. I try to capture vibrant colors of nature with the effect of light. I work mostly with palette knife using the “ impasto wet on wet “ technique.
Her work is a visual diary of her experience of the garden where she grew up as a child watching her grandfather and father working with their green hands creating the most beautiful garden with exotic flowers and trees for her to play, enjoy and respect nature, in her home town pink city Jaipur, India.

I like to share my favorite quote from Ralph Waldo Emmerson, the great 19th century American Philosopher and Poet.
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”
Add “passion” to that and you have your basic ingredients to create unique beautiful writings and works of Art.
Both enthusiasm and passion are always present but only so often your unconsciousness unleashes the exact right mixture of emotions that leads you to “create” … resulting in something brilliant.
