born in Venice she is one of the most recognized woman artist of her time, and not only that but she was recognized by the wonders in the pastel technique, all of her artwork, portraits mostly, is simple yet i find it extremely alluring, with soft tones, soft lighting she made the portraits come to life. i personally am in awe of the life giving in the eyes of her works. even thought pastel is a bit messy, she makes them look almost ethereal and living.

designer loves art... 68...Claudio Bravo

born in Chile but has lived in Morocco since the 70's. this inspired his use of color. i had the opportunity to work with "him" or truth be told his work when i was giving tours in the museum of contemporary art in Monterrey Mexico. his work can only really be experience firsthand, specially his fabrics and his wrappings. his ability to use color, light and texture to show something in 3d, made us in the museum to place a yellow tape 1 foot away from his works, as his 2d works come lo 3d easily people got too close to them or wanted to go ahead and touch them. I'm amazes by this technical skills in pastels and in oil. he truly is a mastermind.

designer loves art... 67...Hans the Younger Holbein

how many painters had the trust of a king, such a trust that the king would send him to paint one of his candidate as a bride, to see the painting and decide whether to marry her or not

this is Hans the Younger Holbein

of German birth he is recognized because of the realism in his portraits, especially those recording king Henry VIII of England. unfortunately the kind was not pleased by his intended and he lost his favor. he had an impressive imagination regarding the jewelry and the clothing used of the period. I'm usually on the side of designers and draftsman's just look at some of his sketching and you will be impressed by the quality work and detail that he put into it. I also admire his protectiveness over his creative freedom, this allowed him to create paintings with true brilliance.

designer loves art... 66...Jeff Nishinaka

paper is a medium, but does paper have a life of its own??

this is Jeff Nishinaka

http://jeffnishinaka.com

born in LA with a journey of 28 years, he has mastered the art or paper sculpture with clients like Visa, Lafayette, and coca cola.

he is quite known for propaganda purposes. I really like the way he works with paper, with small bending and cuts, he sculpts the most incredible things, and apparently my opinion of him is also shared by Jackie Chan who owns many of his works.

designer loves art... 64... Bruce Munro

light according to the dictionary means: the sensation aroused by stimulation of visual receptors

this is Bruce Munro

http://www.brucemunro.co.uk/home.asp

living in the UK, he is fascinated by light, into the extent of converting light into works of art. he makes allot of lighting features but what most surprises me about him are is huge lighting installations. in most of his work you are able to feel you are in a fairytale by the magic created by his lighting. it's quite clear he does stimulate our eyes.

designer loves art... 62... Kotara

not many people with visual perception capabilities see the beauty in the tools of those with a visual impairment

this is Kenn Kotara

www.kotarastudio.com

born in LA he has always been influenced by nature and geometric forms. he has brought forward some very interesting concepts.

his Braille art is so simple that I personally find it quite alluring. it has so much meaning that people that don't read Braille(including myself ) goes completely unnoticed. on his other work he is working with layers, and how you can get a 3d image. I hope we see more of him soon.

designer loves art... 61... Caravaggio

many artists had a harsh start, some of them working under people with less talent than them...

this is Caravaggio

http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/c/caravagg/biograph.html

of Italian decent and orphaned at 11 years of age. he had a rough start as a painter not lasting more than a couple of months in any studio. thankfully he came under the protection of the cardinal. but his suffering gave place to a whole new way of representing images.

he placed religious subject on daily life using people on the streets as his models showing their carnal emotions.

his play with dramatic light brings up the tension of the subjects, making you notice such little details and understand co much of the emotion of the subjects by looking at their face.

he became a great influence for many other artists including Rembrandt and Velazquez
