Gheorghe Șaru 1920–2003
Romanian Born in Călinesti Abstract Modernist
In 1963, his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti Pietro Vannucci in Perugia, Italy, further refined his understanding of classical construction and modern experimentation. Beyond the canvas, Șaru was a man of diverse creative pursuits; he designed public mosaics, illustrated children's books, and collaborated on intricate tapestry works with his wife, the artist Liana Saru. Gheorghe Șaru, known to many as George Saru, was a painter whose life and work served as a bridge between the rich traditions of Romanian folk art and the experimental frontiers of European modernism.

Bob Brighton 1936–2017
British Geometric squares
Brighton’s artistic development wasn't entirely solitary; he drew inspiration from a diverse range of sources. He developed a distinctly personal vocabulary within this framework, prioritizing the interplay of color and the dynamic tension between positive and negative space. The influence of Josef Albers ' "Homage to the Square" is also evident – Albers ’ exploration of how colors interact when placed adjacent to each other served as a crucial guide for Brighton, demonstrating that the meaning of a color isn’t inherent but rather emerges from its relationship with others.

Karlo Zvirynskyi 1923–1997
Ukrainian Born in Lviv Abstract art, Nonconformism
He continued his education at the Lviv Institute of Applied and Decorative Art, where he formed a crucial relationship with Roman Selskyi, who became a lifelong friend and mentor. However, Zvirynskyi’s studies were interrupted in 1949 when he was expelled for openly criticizing socialist realism —a testament to his early commitment to artistic freedom. Born in the small village of Lavriv nestled within the Carpathian Mountains, Zvirynskyi’s journey was one of quiet rebellion and profound spiritual exploration, ultimately establishing him as a key exponent of abstract expressionism and a significant contributor to the Soviet nonconformist art movement.

Thiago Boecan
Brazilian ['Neo-Figurative Art', 'Abstract Art']
The influence of Brazilian Neo- Figurative Art is palpable – a movement known for its psychological intensity and exploration of the human condition. This process often involves a captivating interplay of vibrant reds and browns, as seen in works like ‘ Color Study C-1 ’, where color itself becomes a vehicle for exploring internal tensions.

Victor Servranckx 1897–1965
Belgian Born in Diegem Abstract, Cubism, Constructivism, Surrealism Wikipedia in 3/32 languages
It was during this period that he encountered René Magritte, a relationship that proved profoundly influential. Prior to his studies at the Academy, Servranckx worked as a designer for the wallpaper factory Usines Peters-Lacroix (U.P.L.), an experience that likely informed his later interest in geometric patterns and industrial aesthetics. Notably, Servranckx favored simple, often neutral titles like “ Opus 1,” “Opus 2,” etc., for his paintings – a deliberate strategy designed to strip away any referential context and allow viewers to engage with the work purely on its formal qualities.
