ADRIANO FICARELLI
Adriano Ficarelli is a street photographer who was born and raised in the multicultural environment of Brazil, with strong family ties to Italy and the United States. He is a West Palm Beach, FL resident and a U.S citizen. He was deeply influenced by his extended family of artists: painters, musicians, composers and architects. In his youth, Adriano was captivated by the 1960's, black and white photographs he found in his father's collection of the Italian magazine, DOMUS. Later, at university, he studied electronics, architecture, art history and graphic design. But he became a self-taught photographer as he began experimenting with black and white film.
Every good movie is an inspiration to Adriano. His photographic style stems from his appreciation of cinema. His artistic eye observes a specific moment in the flow of life around him and captures it to reveal the special qualities that attracted him. The photograph is a candid shot evoking an emotional response. Handheld in any environment.

DAVID ROHN
I have been interested in the ways that social and personal issues intersect and collide. The socio / political environment is diverse and contradictory in ways that are interesting to examine and to de-construct, and may lead to better understanding why it can be so difficult to feel connected to the larger whole or, even to oneself.
The scale and complexity of the social and political constructs are held together and split apart through an ever wider range of communication platforms, which seem, paradoxically more socially dis-integrative than ever.
The portrait series reflect my social observations and internal responses to what I see around me.
I believe the sense of loss, of disconnect and isolation, of aggression and degradation, seem widespread in our civilization now. Responding to this from my own experience, and reflected in people I see around me, represents an attempt to connect, or at least understand better what it might mean.

National
Postcard | Mail Art
The Spectrum Postcard Mail Art Project will be an exhibition...and publication
I have an Exhibition and Publication call for art, asking all people (Not just artists) to send me postcards (mail-art) of their favorite members of the LGBT community.
The Spectrum Portraits will be an exhibition...and publication
The concept is to spotlight the meaningful impact the LGBT community has as seen through the eyes of the general public.
The broad Spectrum of color, race, creed, politics and religion will be represented not only in the individual Portraits, but by the individuals participating.
Let's
create unity within our country by celebrating each other and stand proudly together.
We make a positive impact in so many meaningful ways to many people, it’s way to showcase that love and respect we have for each other.
Any questions can be sent to
