"A grand moment of fantasy is sustained by the certainty that Art is itself the essential breath of life." When for the first time I met these three talented artists, I was captured by their humble shyness yet determined and strong self-confident personalities. The show and their works are an expression of life through strong color and images, optimistic, dreamy and sensuality filled with hope and mystery.

	NICOLE LAEMMLE's abstract acrylic paintings are visions of vivid stillness and three-dimensional motion. The remarkable work develops a theme into abstracts of circulating colors waves in strong reds, blues and greens, flickering through stretches of black lilac and yellow.
	JUAN MORALES: the subject represented in Morales accomplished oil color paintings is easy to enjoy. Inspired by glamorous women on stage, they are full of movement, simple in form and an utter delight in color. In some, the images dissolve into a camouflage; in others the images provide an abstract surface, composed in energetic seemingly unfinished brushstrokes. Morales' strength is in the way his images establish a substantial physical presence.
	MAIA BATASH: this portrait oil painting exhibit marks the first gallery show for the sensitive and talented artist Maia Batash. Her work is a pure expression of intuition and inner beauty. The paintings have elements of reality, yet invite the viewer to transcend and enter that intriguing space, where awareness of ones soul and of a higher power can be felt.
