Adam Henein


Adam Henein in Cairo in 1929. He received his Diploma from the Academy of Fine Art, in Cairo, in 1953.



Henein quickly found fame as a sculptor first in Cairo then in the Middle East.

He received Luxor Prize in sculpture from 1954-56. After moving to Paris in 1971, he seriously started to explore the possibilities of paint. His first Parisian works (small formats on papyrus) were composed in a symbolic, hieroglyphic language, which bore witness to his ancestral heritage. His forms became progressively more open, bold and full of reference to his sculpture by virtue of their geometric juxtaposition of earth colors, animated, by lively yet subdued tonality accentuated by the third dimension of the papyrus.

Henein is the founder and Director of the annual International Sculpture Symposium in Aswan, the position for which he is known internationally. In fact, it is for his work in sculpture that he became recognized as an artist and considered the Godfather, of Egyptian sculpture.

Henein draws on his vast international experience, while maintaining a local cachet. Pyramids, pharaonic kings and sections of hieroglyphs appear in his work , reminding us constantly of Henein's Egyptian identity.

Adam Henein was born into a family of metalworkers in Cairo in 1929. He was trained as a sculptor at the Academy of Fine Art in Cairo, from which he received his degree in 1953.


Henein became known as a sculptor in the 1950s; he received Luxor Prize in 1954-56, and his work was shown in Cairo, Alexandria, and Munich by the end of that decade. When he moved to Paris in 1971, Henein began to explore painting. In both his paintings and his sculptures, he has gained recognition for the use of ancient Egyptian themes and traditional materials.


From 1989 to 1998 Henein headed the design team involved in the restoration of the Great Sphinx at Giza, drawing on his experience as a sculptor to determine how the monument was originally carved. In 1998 he was decorated for his service by the Egyptian government. He is the founder and director of the annual international sculpture symposium in Aswan, and the position, for which he is known internationally, has been a major activity of the past four years. Henein has had one-person exhibitions in Alexandria, Amsterdam, Cairo London, Nantes, Paris, and Rome .He has participated in-group exhibitions in Cairo, Munich, Calais Casablanca, Dakar, Ljubljana, Naples, Sorrento, and Spoleto.


His commissioned works are in public buildings in Egypt, Italy and Saudi Arabia.

Katherine Goncharova - Ekaterina Yurevna Goncharova -  Гончарова Екатерина Юрьевна
Ekaterina Goncharova


Katherine Goncharova was born in Kishinev, the capital of Moldova, in 7th July, 1986. She finished Kharkov Art Lyceum at Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts. She has been a student of the Academy since 2003 in Restoration of Easel and Mural Painting. She actively takes part in regional, all-Ukrainian and International art exhibitions. Her works are on display in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France, USA, United Arab Emirates and Israel. She has created more then two hundred graphic works, paintings and icons, restored more then 15 different works of 19 - 20th centuries (oil painting, watercolor, mural painting, tempera, gouache).
She also takes part in research studies and conferences.
2009 - graduates from the Academy.
K. Goncharova is a member of the artistic society "INSIGHT"












Her creative work is of a paramount importance for Katherine Goncharova. The idea that emerges as one gazes at her art is that everything in this world is in intrinsic interaction in the Universum. Every image in her creative work is marked with a holistic approach, characteristic of a child’s perception of the world around.
Openness and sensuality permeate every part of Katherine’s works forming, together with ‘lightness’, if not ‘transparence’, her unique artistic medium. While the manifested and unerring graphic line creates a certain plot of her drawing, it is accompanied by an elaborate scheme of tints and shades to add to the artistic impression. All these make her works easily recognizable.

Artist Statement:

My current works are records of all types of movement: physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual. It is because of movement that things exist and are created. From atoms to planets, vibration and movement are necessary for the sustainment of life. When things move, things change. Change is one of the only constant variables in the universe. Change and growth are part of the human experience. These are the catalysts behind the process.

The work usually begins through impulse and the subconscious and is inspired by life, the speed of thought, the human body, and the media. Then it grows upon itself, layering intuitive thoughts and decisions based on higher thinking, and the conscious mind.

Born in Brigham City, UT 1984.

Painting is a very compulsive activity for me, and is an escape from everyday superficial social interaction. Ironically, they usually end up reflecting various aspects of human conversation and the rawness of natural humanity.

Jeannie McGuire


Jeannie McGuire, a Pittsburgh-based watercolor artist, strives to invoke individual interpretation through her artwork, which impressively utilizes a free application of paint and stylistic forms of expression. Stories and feelings are communicated in such works as "Kenneth," the American Watercolor Society's 144th Gold Medal of Honor selection. McGuire uses her own photography, acquired snapshots and life drawings to spark her creativity. Her work has been described as a brilliant combination of emotion, movement, natural design, and sheer artistry that has been expanded upon from her days as a commercial graphic designer and photographer. Impressionistic in nature with an identifiable subject, her strong, figurative approaches are unique in more ways than one. As is the case, her works have been displayed and awarded on an International level and represented in numerous art magazines. McGuire further dedicates herself to her craft by instructing figurative design watercolor workshops in an effort to encourage fellow artists. Professional organizations include the American Watercolor Society, Pittsburgh Watercolor Society and various small groups of collaborative artists.

"People love telling me how they feel about my art and I am grateful for the connection we have."

Miguel Freitas





Miguel Freitas grew up in Lisbon, Portugal and moved with his family to Toronto, Canada in 1983.
His love of art and painting started at a young age where he explored different ways of expressing
his creativity. Starting out with a Graphic Arts degree he entered into the creative world, first working
as a photographer in the fashion and modeling fields and then as an illustrator for Ad agencies.
His artistic diversity and ability to work with various media and styles has proven to be a great asset
to his creative career and his successes eventually lead him to positions working as Art Director
for companies both in Canada and Europe.

Although he enjoyed design, he longed for new challenges and creative freedom and so in 2004 he
ventured on his own and made a career of what had, until then, only been a passionate hobby...painting,
and he has since painted full-time from his home studio in Toronto's east end.

His use of vibrant colors is what often strikes people first. The colors are carefully chosen, giving off a strong
presence and symbolic content to his work. The passionate reds, pure range of blues and warm yellows
are seared into your memory, leaving you emotionally charged. You will lose yourself in the warmth and
comfort of a familiar place. The paintings convincingly depict the naive impressions and memories left in your
mind years after visiting a place. His unique style and execution bring to mind images of great frescoes on
old crumbling walls. The unusual use of mixed media and subject matter, are a perfect marriage.

Since then, he has exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions. His work is represented by prominent
galleries throughout North America and is included in many private and corporate collections not only
throughout North America, but also in Europe and Asia.

Michael Alford

Michael Alford was born in Cookham, England, grew up in Germany and attended Rugby School. His earliest art training came from his father, a colonel in the Royal Engineers, who taught him to draw in perspective from a young age. After a stint in the Royal Marines, Michael went on to Durham University where he studied Spanish and Arabic. He travelled extensively in South America and the Middle East, keeping detailed sketchbooks to record his experiences. This series of early drawings reveals a talent for the figurative depiction of cities, human figures, and natural scenes, the subjects that form the core of his work to this day.

Returning to the United Kingdom, Michael pursued studies at the Slade School and the Chelsea School of Art before launching a successful painting career. Known for his ability to blend classical technique with a sharp, modern sensibility, his work can be found in public and private collections around the world. He exhibits regularly in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States and continental Europe. He has been awarded several prizes including the Green and Stone Oil Painting Prize, the Agnes Reeve Memorial Prize for best painting of London, and the Prima Luce Mural prize. His work has been chosen for exhibit by the Royal Society of Oil Painters. Michael is a serving council member of the Chelsea Arts Society.

Michael’s body of work is varied, reflecting his interests in many aspects of life as well as his skill in a variety of media. He is best known for masterful cityscapes of contemporary urban centres such as London, New York and Barcelona. His paintings and drawings of people — men and women, clothed and nude — are highly sought-after for their combination of fine draughtsmanship, acute observation and sense of drama. He is frequently commissioned as a portraitist of both individuals and groups. Continuing his practice of painting while travelling, Michael regularly produces plein air paintings and watercolour sketches of landscapes as diverse as Dorset and Oman.

In 2011 Michael served as official War Artist to the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, accompanying them on their tour of Afghanistan. While there he completed Afghan Sketches, a series 24 of watercolour paintings that record his experience of living alongside the soldiers on remote patrol bases on the edge of ISAF-controlled territory. He exhibited these and other Afghan paintings at a special exhibition held at the Royal Geographical Society, later donating the sketchbook to The Colonel’s Fund, the Guard’s charitable body. Michael was subsequently commissioned by the Grenadier Guards to paint two large ceremonial works, Blue 9 and Presentation of the Colours.

Michael is also a well-known mural painter. His work can be found in private homes, palaces, hotels, restaurants and public spaces in the UK, across Europe, in Asia, the USA, and in may parts of the Middle East.

Michael Alford lives and works in London.

Matthew Simmonds





Matthew Simmonds graduated from university with a degree in history of art in 1984, specialising in the art and architecture of the medieval period. In 1991 he trained as an architectural stone carver, and in this capacity he participated in the restoration of several important historic monuments in England, most particularly Westminster Abbey and Ely Cathedral. In 1996 he transferred to Italy, where he specialised in the carving of fine classical sculpture in marble.
In 1999 he won first prize at the Verona International Sculpture Symposium, gaining his first recognition as a sculptor. Since then he has participated in various international sculpture symposiums, in Italy and beyond, winning several prizes. He has exhibited in Italy, China and the USA.
'The sculptures of Matthew Simmonds give us a direct experience of our being in the present, through a love of the past transmitted in marble and light.
From his early childhood, Simmonds was fascinated by stone buildings, an affection that flows into his artworks, where stone architecture is used as a central theme. Particularly the medieval architecture, with its striving to get to a new sophistication of space, comes alive in the marble. Simmonds makes a play of architecture and ornamentation on a small scale, but the spaces created give the same feeling as in the buildings themselves; a place to rest, a place to travel with the eye and maybe find a moment of tranquillity. The marble is opened up, and inside is a space within a building that only exists in the viewer's mind. What you sense is the significance of space.
'To create a sculpture that catches the light and structure of a building and lets the eye wander, to feel that here my eye could live, here a part of me could stay, is a great achievement. The sculptures give the viewer a different perspective on space. They look different from every viewpoint. You long to be in them, and they seem almost more meaningful for that.'

A brief bio...
The inspiration for my drawings began in early childhood when I traveled with my family throughout several of the world's most remote landscapes, which were the subject of my mother's fine art photography. After my formal training at Skidmore college I now exhibit extensively in galleries and venues throughout the United States and overseas.

In addition to exhibitions, recent projects include a series of drawings that served as the set design for the classic ballet Giselle, which premiered in October 2012 at the Grand Theatre of Geneva, Switzerland (see the drawings and performance photos on the Giselle page) Ten of my drawings were also used in the set design for House of Cards, a Netflix TV series directed by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey.

In August 2012 I led Chasing the Light, an art expedition sailing up the northwest coast of Greenland, retracing the 1869 journey of American painter William Bradford and artistically documenting the rapidly changing arctic landscape. Continuing to address climate change in my work, I will spend September 2013 in the Maldives, the lowest-lying country in the world, and arguably the most vulnerable to rising sea levels.

I was born in South Natick, MASS, oct.29th, 1982. I grew up in Piermont NY, a small beautiful town 30 min north of Manhattan. I now live in brooklyn, ny, where i have my studio. Although i focus mainly on the art at the moment, i am also a yoga teacher and a jewelry designer.

My inspiration for drawing began early in my life. Throughout my childhood my family traveled all over the world to remote landscapes which were the subject of my mother's fine art photography. I developed an appreciation for the beauty and vastness of the ever-changing sky and sea. I loved watching a far off storm on the western desert plains, the monsoon rains of southern India, and the cold arctic light illuminating Greenland's waters. In my work I explore moments of transition, turbulence and tranquility in the landscape and their impact on the viewer. In this process I am reminded of how small we are when confronted with the powerful forces of nature. The act of drawing can be a meditation for me, and my hope is that the viewer can share this experience of tranquil escape when engaging the work.

Past heroes include 19th century landscape painters such as John Constable, Thomas Cole, (including many others from the Hudson River School) and certainly Turner's luminous paintings. One current influence is my mom. She has taught me a great deal about light, and the ways it can be captured illuminating a landscape. Another contemporary inspiration is Robert Longo. I made the decision to begin my cloud study series when i first saw his wave drawings at the 2004 Whitney Biennial. The techniques with which they are drawn amaze me. His exhibition at Metro Pictures "The Outward and Visible Signs of an Inward and Invisible Grace" embodied similar themes to my work... certainly awe inspiring.

My son once said art was about "breaking things in the right places". He was 8 and I was trying to explain what juxtaposition meant. I use this quote a lot when I teach, I figure people discover things about art and themselves when they try to decipher it.

Art is so hard to explain though. I am fascinated by the impossibility of art categorization, I get in trouble every time I’m asked to explain my work or technique. I was schooled in the most traditional way starting from the same basics that Renaissance artists and their pupils learned, like making your own oils or studying the bodies in the morgue (it's a long story, I grew up in communist Bulgaria)...

David Shanahan

Having been raised in southern Ireland, the world I grew up was dominated by two powerful stories. The primary one was of course Catholic, with its stories of angels and passivity, of repressed sexuality and the possibility of resurrection. The other stories tended to be much more earthy, late night tales, full of talking birds and animals, of shape shifters, lonely ghosts, nature goddesses and dying Kings. The resulting tension between Christian and Pagan, myth and reality, past versus present, made a deep impression on me as a boy, and as a result, they continue to inform my work, providing me with a rich, iconic feast of subject matter.

Andrew Painter



Andrew Painter was born in Wolverhampton in 1957. He studied at Goldsmith\'s College before setting out to travel the world and develop his own artistic style. After some years teaching, he took up painting full time and for over 20 years has shared his time between England and France where his work has attracted many collectors.

Andrew has in the past exhibited his work in London and the UK through Enid Lawson, now retired. He is now represented by the Linda Blackstone Gallery in the UK and in several galleries all over France. He enjoys showing his work in unexpected venues such as hospitals, and occasionally takes on very large scale commissions, one of which adorned the Galeries Lafayette Department Store in Paris with a \"constellation of large striped socks!\"

The artist recently exhibited at the Florence Biennale, as well as creating the décor for the Nice Jazz Festival.

An artist unlike any other: an original talent with an instantly recognisable style!

We welcome Andrew with his unique style to our team of talented artists. His work is \"a joy\" and we look forward to representing him in the UK and at art fairs all over the world in the coming years.
