Kazim is a french visionary and occult artist.
The website Renaissance presents his creations :
Combined in a multi-layered digital art mixing photography and scan of raw material his creations would pretend themselves to be the visionary remembrances of a fool scarecrow in a rough shadowed land. Often in a dark tinted ambiance his work, as a reflection of his spiritual journey, invites the viewer to a travel and an encounter at the doors of the spirit world.
Passionate by different mythologies and esoteric traditions, kAzIm tries to manifest the very moments when, in a deep state of connection with himself, the artist approaches the archetypes lying in the sacred and poetic visions of the Primal Dream.
As a non-dualist play between symbols and signs, his creations reveal in a personal alchemy of colours and senses a singular universe where past present and future come across to cast a new light into ancient and modern mysteries.
Svetoslav Stoyanov painting have a later Dali color-scheme. The concepts are direct, focusing on one per painting. A recurring theme in the works included is the subtle pulling-back of a layer within the painting and revealing of another. Also present is the inclusion of the nude female form in classical poses. The images are elegant and poetic.
The field in which I work allows me to express myself and everything that excites me in a way without limitations or boundaries. It is not even important how one is going to name it – surrealism, neo-surrealism, modern art or fine art. What is more important is that when I stand in front of the canvas I feel complete. I have the utter freedom to express myself in the best of my abilities. Imagination and thought are endless, and this is what I try to show in my works. The combination of symbols and details provokes people to think, and the elements painted realistically allow greater understanding of the main concept.
The erotic element that is present in some of my paintings simply expresses my admiration of the perfection of nature and in particular the beauty of the female body. For ultimately, the greatest artist is indeed nature!
Patricia Benitez’s Uncanny Valley series takes it’s name from the hypothesis in the field of robotics which holds that “when human replicas look and act almost, but not perfectly, like human beings, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers.”
Coined by professor Masahiro Mori, who proposes several explanations for the revulsion and fear humans feel when presented with humanoid creatures. Namely, mortality salience – the innate fear of death, or of being replaced by a doppelganger, sorites paradoxes – which undermine the sense of human identity, violation of human norms, and a threat to the religious definition of human identity.
Highly inspired by haute couture editorial and runway imagery, the series uses hyper-perfection and intense flaws in unison as a means to create visual tension.
“In Our Veins” explores the connections between all life forms and the cycle of life. Through a psychological, and sometimes visceral, approach, this series investigates our relationships to each other and to the natural world, as well as our role in the life cycle. Concepts such as life and death, survival and exploitation, and the interdependence and destruction of living and nonliving organisms are illustrated throughout. Using imagery derived from dreams and free association, “In Our Veins” demonstrates these ideas in a surreal, psychologically-charged narrative.

“Surrealism” literally means “above reality”. So, that’s were I’m headed.
