Faustine Puras (*1976) was born in Hong Kong, as a child she builds dimensional spaces of paper, photos and clay. Nowadays,by using artificial light and an architectural vision she bring the third dimension into her work.
For photographing she uses an Hasselblad 503CWD with digital back. With these techniques she seems to be challenging the boarder of photography and painting.

She is fascinated by land- and seascapes, rust and degeneration in natural materials.
By combining the different techniques she brings an extra layer in the work and makes it more intimate.
It even emphasizes the absence reality.

In her latest work the photos become more abstract and you can see her fascination for architecture, landscapes, lineart, and minimal expression.

The most remarking action in her work however, is the fact that she destroys the original work, after taking the picture: The picture becomes the work.

Born 1970, US
the artist lives and works in NYC, US

Hello, my name is julianne richards. I am an artist/musician/songwriter/painter-my “job” has been primarily a songwriter, and I have records for sale. However, I have been painting for about six years. I now paint daily, and have created a studio in my NYC apartment where there is nothing but PAINTING. From sketches of ideas, to the canvases where those very “ideas” have come to their fruition- I paint to-live-to-live-to- paint. Thus, it is from those endeavors that i bring you this collection of some of my latest paintings, as well as some of my mixed media work: pastel and charcoal…2006 was one of those years of massive upheavel…but with reflection, and finally, understanding and learning.
UPDATE:
The year 2007 has started off with the fury of creativity, and painting has become a daily, hourly, central focus in my creation of Art. I hope to bring forth my best work thus far, and I am up for challenge. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, purchased my art, and given words of encouragment. It shows, and I will respond in the making of new and focused paintings.
Warm Regards,
Julianne Richards

Born 1970, Argentina
the artist lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina

I’m an artist who is interested in moving the boundaries of art. I’m an artist, a musician, and a typographer designer.

I love the esoteric topics and the frivolity of pop. I like being inside this contrasting formula: the spiritual human potential and the conditioning of the society of consumption.

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
