Russian artist Ainagul Isaeva is currently in Brisbane, Australia. Ainagul's romantic, original oil paintings have the rich decadence of Gustav Klimt's with a very modern edge. These beautifully painted, very exciting, imaginative, abstract surreal paintings are a Russian artist's refelections on the shiny commercial society of the day where posessions and pop stars are supreme. These paintings are sexy, beautiful, with a deep social comment; each a contemporary gem!

Adding to the three collagraphs Ingrid already has for sale on AARTI, Ingrid adds here four Mezzotints, two drypoint engravings and two intaglio engravings. Look at the texture of the wool on this sheep - so real you want to touch it!

A photograph of a landscape can capture a scene precisely but a painting can exhude illusions of the emotions felt while standing in the landscape. Popular artist Maureen Greenwood's two new additions to our gallery depict just this. The thick red paint and loose brush strokes show how hot it is there. The bright primary reds and yellows signify emotions of pleasure. This example is the artists impression of a memorable holiday taken in Bonifacio, Corsica last year.

This is original modern mixed media portrait by Weston Super Mare artist Adam McLevey. We have all travelled on public transport and seen strangers. It is interesting to wonder about them - why are they travelling - what are they thinking. This portrait - named appropriately 'The Passenger' reminds one of James Blunt's recent song about a brief encounter. Adam has caught the girl in a blaze of light from the bus window as she sits, unaware that she is being observed as she travels - on a bus and through life. All three of Adam's paintings here are interesting inviting us to look a little longer and to think.

This original oil painting by South African artist Malcolm Turner was inspired by the hussle and bustle of people and boats coming and going at the V&A waterfront in Capetown. The dynamic here was to capture the activity, excitement and buzz of a typical harbour scene. Malcolm has two galleries on AARTI - one showing coastal art (this is one example) and the other, showing dramatic vast skies and landscapes from South Africa.

Northamptonshire artist Rick Short lives in a narrowboat, cruising slowly through life, taking his time to absorb nature and with his artistic talents, to capture the emotion of the moment in either painting or in sculpture. This smooth, clean and beautiful unique painted plaster sculpture was inspired by a newspaper silently rolling down a street.

If your budget cannot stretch to an original painting, but you are looking for something a little different to decorate your home, perhaps a limited edition print will tempt you? Artist Samm Mackinnon is offring a selection of her very popular art in this form, all with a coastal theme - fishes seascapes and boats. What lovely gifts these would make.

Poor Pakistan, and her people, is suffering. These paintings and drawings from Pakistani artist Shahzad Siddique show how art need not depict the cultural events such as bloodshed or fighting. Art can be a counterbalance - an escapism showing the great peace to be found all around. Even when living under dictatorship this is still a beautiful world and this fantastic love (of natural beauty) is understood and appreciated globally.

Artist John Mulberry's oil paintings are very popular. If you do not have the budget to stretch to one of his originals but love his artworks, you can treat yourself to a miniature version because John has had blank cards printed depicting details from a selection of his paintings. Those showing white lilies would make amazing original wedding invitations. Any could be used as birthday cards, or simply as notelets to drop a line to a friend far away. These cards would be adored by garden lovers or art lovers alike - very versatile and because you can write any message you want to inside, they can be kept in a cupboard and used for emergencies. The cards can be purchased as single cards, or in quantities of 10s, 100s or 1000s.

Printmaking is an old craft dating right back to the renaissance and Albrecht Durer. Artist Ingrid Allen, who resides in France keeps this skill going and uses the effects that can be achieved with etching and collagraphy to create lovely prints with an ethereial beauty. The quality that light has as it diffuses slowly through the dusk and dawn, across landscapes and through windows is maximised in these three professional hand made prints from originals by the artist. One of Ingrid's prints is a collagraph. No two collagraphs are ever the same. These are all exceptionally skilled and very special prints.

Derbyshire Emily Garces was amazed when a buyer wanted to buy her first painting from our website because she thought that nobody would buy pantings on-line. Emily has now givn us three more paintings for you to enjoy. Two are painted with staggering realism using acrylics and airbrush. The third is a warm hypnotic sunset over the sea. All three are original paintings.

Artist Natasha R. Graham has painted a lively original abstract painting in acrylics called The Birth Of The Universe. Natasha has imagined what a miraculous and marvelous energy must have circled and exploded as the first star was born and from the embryonic nucleus on her canvas waves of warm colour, apparently spreading outwards to beyond the edges of the picture. The colours are warm so I think this new universe will be filled with good emotions.

Greek artist George Tsasraklides is a modern humanist; highly educated with the mind of a scientific philosopher and the heart of a true artist. It is not surprising that his original impressionistic artworks in oil use unusual colour combinations. His imaginative painting techniques produce exciting results with marvelously interesting complex shapes which are joyous to view. These are paintings in which something new might be noticed each time they are looked at.
