Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Sheila Kriemelman
Sheila Kriemelman’s dramatic paintings and drawings are sobering portrayals of the benchmark events and suffering people of the Holocaust. “These paintings are about universal suffering. And survival. And endurance. And death. They are about mothers and their children, young people, old people, all people.” Kriemelman’s work belongs to the collections of Bell Atlantic, Amici Miei, B'Nai B'Rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum and the Klutznick National Jewish Museum.
 
  Martha Holden
Martha Holden combines several printmaking techniques to arrive at rich graphic images of French iron gates, the urban landscape and architectural details. The artist collages different images of architectural elements to create meaning through their physical association. “I look for the harmony and rhythm in the different shapes.” Holden received her MFA at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and her work belongs to several corporate collections including Columbia Pictures, Pepsi Cola, Forbes Corporation and IBM.
 
  Ivan Gorin
PaintingsDirect.com is proud to welcome their newest Russian artist, Ivan Gorin. His meticulous technique catches every change of Moscow's seasonal foliage. In The Summer of 1964, the artist explains, "The most difficult thing was to depict green colors of the summer." The artist is not only a painter, but also an expert in painting restoration, and a widely published author. Gorin has had several solo exhibitions in Moscow, and his work has been exhibited at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art and the Russian State Museum.

 
  Cecy Colichon
Cecy Colichon is a Peruvian artist who is particularly drawn to the effect of light on flowering plants and the human body. For the artist, flowers inspire “a need to express sentiments of love, joy, and happiness.” Colichon studied at the New York Academy of Figurative Art and at the National School of Fine Arts, Lima, Peru. Her work belongs to many corporate collections, such as Xerox, IBM, and Goodyear.

 
  Alex Queral
Alex Queral blends the aesthetic languages of architecture, computer drawing, and art history. In this body of work he has two main techniques: one that involves “improvisation” and another that combines computer art and painting. "The goal is to achieve something that is neither strictly computer art or strictly painting, but rather a hybrid of the two.” Queral received his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania.
