The Art of Nancy Hernandez: There is much about Nancy's work that causes those to see it to want one of her paintings to be on their living room walls. It is fine to look at, interesting in composition; ...not purely realistic & boring as overly realistic paintings tend to be, nor is it abstract & incomprehensible. Her art rides the line between the purely creative and the reality we live with. Things don't happen by blind chance in her paintings; they evolve out of her perception of the urban and natural landscape around her. What she brings to a painting keeps the viewer pleased, not just at first glance in a limited sort of way; but in an enduring way that is the trademark of great art. Her work is enduring. Interestingly the prices of her paintings are still within reach of the average buyer. This is an opportunity. How many people go out and splurge on a dinner that becomes but a memory; how few take the time to purchase a work of art that will be a joy forever. A work of art becomes part of ones legacy; and I can think of few artists whose work so immediately inspires visual appreciation as the art of Nancy Hernandez. Known throughout the Caribbean & Latin America; Nancy Hernandez is one of Argentina's respected artists. Visit her website and consider buying one of her fine paintings. You, your children, and your grandchildren will have something of value. A work of art is a joy forever. Nancy Hernandez is the sort of artist whose work can create such joy.

The Transformation Of María Cantera - Argentine Digital Artist: Maria Cantera has often said that the Patagonian wind was so much a part of her psyche as a young girl that when she left Patagonia for the first time she was dismayed that there was such a thing as a world without constant wind. - - If Patagonia defines the absolute back of beyond - - the ends of the earth; and if digital art defines the contemporary, then Maria is a time traveler who has crossed the bridge between two vastly different cultures - - that of a young girl born into the rural Patagonian lifestyle that is lived in a region of vast steppe-like plains, where yesterday always resembles tomorrow and the big event of the year is sheep shearing - - to that of a young woman with artistic talent living on the cusp of the new media - - of digital animation - - in its very film-making epicenter; Hollywood, California. Yes, she made the voyage... from the very ends of the earth, first to art school in the Argentine province of Río Negro, then to Buenos Aires where she worked as an artist in a wide range of forms; including architecture, art direction, film commercials, scenic design, and film animation, and finally to Los Angeles, California where she accomplished her dream of working in new media animation in the epi-center of film. Not bad for a country girl from ends of the earth.

But if the country girl's successes mean that she can never again truly become the country girl she was; it is also clear that Maria has never severed her psyche from the cultural roots of her Patagonian origin. What made Maria a success in Buenos Aires and Los Angeles was what is particularly Maria. Maria's art is imbued with the folklore and traditions of Patagonia; its ancient tribes, sorcerers, gaucho history and a culture that is unlike any other culture in the world. The artist who can transmute the folkloric into the modern knows part of the secret alchemy of art. - - Maria Cantera is a digital artist who has taken rare Patagonian seeds and planted them in an electric garden of delights.

Limited editions of her Gicleé prints are available printed on Hewlett-Packard Matte Canvas with a 12-ink printing system using Hewlett-Packard Vivera pigment inks. Visit María Cantera's website.

The Lesson Of The Master: On Borges And His Work

Notice: The very important works of Jorge Luis Borges are no longer being properly translated. If you cannot purchase the translations of Emir Rodriguez Monegal, Alastair Reid or Norman Thomas di Giovanni it would be better not to buy or read the works of Borges. There are undoubtedly other translators who did good translations, but in our opinion Andrew Hurley is certainly not one of them. Mr. Andrew Hurley is a brilliant man but he does not understand Borges subtle use of language. Hence in the stories Hurley translates Borges words are stripped of their hidden meanings. To understand Borges we recommend The Lesson Of The Master: On Borges And His Work by by Norman Thomas Di Giovanni - The Lessons Of The Master clearly explains how Borges work is being sabotaged by those who don't understand it.
