- explains the artist Arturo Samaniego … These figurative paintings explore the metaphorical meaning of sea waves and the interaction of the human body with them. Each of the portraits has veiled atmospheric effects.
Arturo Samaniego was born in Mexico in 1962. Prior to becoming an artist, Arturo worked for 15 years in a completely different field of software. But from early childhood, Samaniego knew that he wanted to be an artist. Therefore, in his youth, he took courses at the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico (INBA). It was only in 2002 that Arturo began his main career as an artist. He moved to Naples, Florida, created his own studio, where he currently works and teaches young artists.
Arturo Samaniego's work was recently featured in the International Artist publication. A well-known magazine selected one of his paintings as a finalist in an international art competition. Naturally, the artist was overjoyed. Firstly, because this is a fairly large-scale competition that is open to all artists. And secondly, the magazine is published in countries such as the USA, Great Britain, India, Australia and even China. The number of views on the artist's official website has increased significantly since this publication. In addition, there have been many orders for artwork.
Samaniego, while describing his style as a mixture of realism and minimalism, actually creates abstract and figurative works. The latter is expressed in the beauty of the human body, emotions, gestures. … - explains the artist.
The title of the new series "Emergence" symbolizes reflection and self-knowledge that ennoble the human soul. Bounded by restless waves merging with the horizon, each of the figures in the picture is in search of spiritual discoveries. - writes the artist and art critic Veron Ennis.
The "water" theme attracts not only artists, but also photographers. For example, Susanne Stemmer manages to create amazing underwater shots, looking at which, you can not only see the sensual silhouettes of the human body, but also dive into the wonderful underwater world.

Everyday life of a lonely man. Photos of bachelors from the Lonely Man series by Wes Naman
It's not scary when you are alone, scary when you are zero. No matter how inspiring, inspiring and encouraging this phrase may sound, being alone is actually very scary.
