Adam de Coster | A young woman holding a distaff before a lit candle

This painting is emblematic of the refined and dramatic nocturnes that form the small catalogue of works by Adam de Coster.

Benedict Nicolson was the first scholar to isolate a corpus of works by this Flemish candlelight painter in a series of publications.

He based this group around Lucas Vorsterman’s engraving after a lost work by de Coster, which depicted tric-trac players and a musician illuminated by two burning candles on a table.

Hsin-Yao Tseng, 1986 | Cityscapes

Award winning painter Hsin-Yao Tseng was born in Taipei, Taiwan.

After graduated from high school in Taiwan, in 2004 summer, Hsin-Yao came to United State to study aboard.

He works in a range of genres: from lush evocations of San Francisco and other cities to expressive portraits and finally to lustrous interiors in which multiple figures enact a story.

Dario Campanile, 1948

Born in Rome, Italian painter Dario Campanile started to sketch as a very young child. At the age of six, his talent for art was encouraged with the gift of a small set of watercolors from an uncle, himself a painter.

When he was 14, Campanile was bedridden with a kidney ailment for three months, and his father gave him his first oil paints to cheer him up.

As soon as he began to work with them, there was a sense of familiarity of being able to easily express himself in this medium. This experience influenced him profoundly to continue with his art.
