    Dear Ninna,
    it is wonderful to know people like you who is supporting new artists. I’m going to the Public Relation Program at Utah Valley University. My dream is to have an art gallery and promoting new artists. Next month, it is a second art presentation of Paula Montes a great new artist in Utah. I am helping her planning his second art presentation. I would like to be in contact to you in order to know what is happening in Europe.
    Thanks again for supporting Art.

  3. Hats off to a qualified jury. I like how you at SatchiOnline vary the parimeters for the selections from time to time…does you justice….now if you could also get the moderators to take a valium or two…I couldn`t be happier.
    By removing all critical statements and comments, as has been the practice of late….they have been doing your site a real disservice.

  4. I can imagine how difficult it must be to select/judge Art works. I would find it very hard to cast aside personal preference in order to make an honest decision. But maybe that is impossible. Maybe the winning Art takes on something of the Judge when it is selected, maybe the Art develops into a kind of self-portrait of the selector.

    Looking forward to entering a showdown that will suit my Art work.

    Come è possibile che passano il turno lavori figurativi, in uno Showdown Abstract?

    Cordiali saluti,

  9. I am a spanish painter. My work, materic and contemporanean, uses symbols to explain the spiritual fact of man. I try to gather up the tradition which lies on the collective unconscious, the tradition that talks to our emotional dimension.
