In their journey to interpret their vision on the canvas, artists have relied on a profound intuition gradually developing itself in various stages. This leads to a variety of ideas, emotions, and sketches that forms the core synthesis of their thoughts. In its newest exhibition, Intuitive Dialogues, global gallery Saphira Ventura together with the New York International Contemporary Art Society, explore the effects of such dialogues as they manifest themselves on the canvas. 

The upcoming exhibition will feature an assemblage of artists both national and international that make part of the gallery’s versatile approach to its exhibition. From Austria, figurative artist, Elke Schmolzer, enriches her canvas with the anthromorphization of stones, a native element in her local community while photographer Maria Alejandra Ibáñez captures her local rocks via the snap of the camera, together with the various flora and fauna that inhabit the regions of Peru. Regarding the art of painting, a strong saturation and playful form characterizes the work of New York-based artist José Auquilla, as he captures the natural brilliancy of his colors, splashing them gracefully on the canvas. Another New York-based painter, Joanne Handler, creates her subjects with a medley of media, presenting techniques ranging from figurative to abstract expressionism. Moving into three dimensional works, the angular sculptures of artist, Gisseline Amiuny de Ottati blends in the elements of neo-kinetic and op-art in a contemporary framework. Intuitive Dialogues will also feature Rita BasuMallick, another New York-based painter, known for her landscape oil pieces showing gentle details in both a modern and contemporary style.
