The "Blues Collection" is a visual meditation on calm, depth, and renewal. Through layered textures of sand, gesso, and pigment, each painting captures the dialogue between stillness and motion — where emotion becomes form and light unfolds into serenity.

Created for luxury interiors, boutique hotels, and wellness spaces, these works transform walls into living horizons of balance and reflection.
After three decades as a CEO, I found in art a space of freedom and authenticity.

Born from that transformation, The Blues Collection embodies quiet strength and timeless beauty — inviting you to pause, breathe, and feel the silent poetry of blue.

" Blues -Atmosphere"

Welcome to Alla Dicksons Virtual Gallery showcasing her 2025 works, ranging from Tulips, Wildflowers, Summer Enigma, into Fall.

Alla Dickson 2025 Collection

El nieto de El Persia es realmente Roberto Abajo, quien lleva por segundo apellido un
no tan usual Brázquez, el verdadero apellido de su abuelo materno, desconocedor éste
del dialogo con la pintura entablado en la actualidad por su nieto pequeño. De raíces
onubenses, serranas y mineras, tierras donde el arte siempre anidó. Aquella huella
bajo el mote El Persia, que acuñó en 1927, cobra hoy valor por quien se plantea el arte
con la máxima honestidad rememorando la figura de su abuelo. Un salto en el tiempo
generacional para sentir la nobleza y plasticidad de quien trata la expresión interior
manifestada con sencillez a través del color.

Strengths Do Not Shout Loudly
by Sonia J. - featuring The Rain Doesn’t Cry

There is a strength that doesn’t perform — a quiet force that breathes beneath the surface.
In Strengths Do Not Shout Loudly, Sonia J. presents ten large-scale canvases from her collection The Rain Doesn’t Cry, where emotion becomes texture and silence turns into color.

Through layered acrylics, sand, and gesso, Sonia transforms inner storms into luminous surfaces that evoke both fragility and endurance. Her paintings speak of resilience that does not need to prove itself — strength found in stillness, beauty born from surrender.

The works invite us to slow down, to feel rather than analyze, to listen to what strength sounds like when it stops shouting.

Because sometimes, the most powerful voices are whispered through texture, light, and presence.

"Calmness: Strenghts Do Not Shout Loudly"

In Time

A fusion of representational elements in abstract compositions, preserving the ambience and capturing the physicality as well as the emotion of subjects.

Eye of the Beholder

Someone sits down to a piano and plays a score or improvises. It's like that with my art except there's no score.

W 1971 roku amerykański psycholog Paul Ekman przeprowadził wraz ze swoim zespołem badania na papuańskim plemieniu Fiore, dotyczące ekspresji stanów emocjonalnych. Zweryfikował on dzięki nim tezę, wyrażoną sto lat wcześniej przez Karola Darwina w dziele „The expression of the emotions in man and animals” (1872), o uniwersalności ekspresji emocji u przedstawicieli gatunku ludzkiego. Ekman wykazał, że dysponujemy sześcioma podstawowymi formami ekspresji, mimo że samych emocji istnieje oczywiście znacznie więcej. Dowiódł przy tym, że ekspresja, choć zdeterminowana zarówno biologicznie, jak i kulturowo, opiera się na solidnym ewolucyjnym, a więc i adaptacyjnym, fundamencie.

Revelation

Minimalism in photography engages the intellect as much as the eye. Vision is distilled to its purest form, where composition becomes an enquiry into proportion, space and stillness. By removing distraction, it reveals the architecture of perception. What remains is not emptiness but clarity, a concentrated encounter that rewards attentiveness over immediacy. Drawing from modern and abstract art, this approach challenges conventional notions of representation.

Absence is treated as an active element, allowing silence, rhythm and structure to assert quiet authority. Each image embraces deliberate reduction, opening a contemplative space in which even the smallest gesture carries the potential for profound resonance.

Minimalism

A collection of my photography and artwork, done over several years. l have been painting since l was 14 years old and produced my first commercial work at 17yrs old, l have done many things, but have always come back to my art. l hope you enjoy viewing it as much as i did creating it.

THE COLOR CARBON

Black and white photography collapses the world into a language of tone and shadow, transforming each image into a careful study of surfaces, edges, and the spaces between. The medium privileges observation over explanation. Surfaces retain a physical presence that demands attention, yet understanding is never imposed. In this quiet space, details emerge gradually, and the eye learns to read contrast, texture, and form with deliberate attentiveness.

Shadows are active and dynamic, shaping forms while dissolving the certainties the eye might bring. Black and white allows the image to exist in tension, embracing ambiguity without surrendering its internal logic. Here, the photograph becomes a dialogue between presence and absence, illuminating what appears while preserving the mystery of what slips away.

This collaboration connects continents and promotes mutual appreciation as well as artistic exchange. Experience the exhibition at the Nicoleta Gallery or explore it virtually here on Artplacer.

Roots and Horizons: Africa and Europe in Dialogue

A great Vernissage was held at Art84, 84 Pendenis Road, Mount Pleasant, Harare on 12 September 2025, marking a vibrant celebration of Zimbabwean creativity and cultural heritage. Guests were welcomed into an inspiring space where every detail reflected the spirit of the artists and their work. All paintings are presented as they appeared on the gallery walls, with framed works shown in similar frames to preserve the exhibition’s atmosphere. The evening was further enriched by delicious food and drinks provided by Tastee Bites, creating a warm and festive ambiance. It turned out to be an evening to remember, filled with art, dialogue, and community spirit. This Vernissage set a high standard and anticipation is already building for the next Vernissage in September 2026, which promises to be another outstanding celebration of creativity and culture.

2nd Annual Vernissage Harare

Mexican artist Mariano Basile Mier y Terán paints from the gut. His surreal, symbolic figures and vivid palettes channel unspoken emotions, exploring dream states, fragility, memory, and the mind’s strange poetry.

Ventanas Mentales

Anthotypes

This is a collection of paintings created in the last year or two back to the start of incorporating people and their dogs into my work, whether it be in an urban environment, in the park or at the beach.

People in the landscape

DAVID SOMERVILLE

I love this quote from Terry Tempest Williams. It has informed so much of my work for a long time. 
"When women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn, and to sing at dusk, was to heal the world with joy."
