Luciano Caggianello
Luciano Caggianello was born in 1959 in the province of Siena.
His studies are oriented in the context of a more technical education (Graduation in Applied Physics, Faculty of Architecture, School of Design)
and are then balanced (between the 70s and 80s) through an "artistic training from the laboratory," and the beginning of a systematic
partecipation, to study painting (collaborations with Burzio, Soffiantino, and Campagnoli, courses nude Academy of Fine Arts, ...) as well
as participation in courses, workshops and studios of graphic design, illustration and communication, artistic Forming, restoration,
techniques for melting metal (APRA, Atelier Artifice ....), where, through empirical implementation, almost daily, conquest familiar
and comfortable with the materials, processing methods, the performance, refinement of all painting techniques.
His debuts artistics occur in 1986, and led him to undertake an route of research and exhibitions that over the years has structured and
intensified. He is accompanied by a book, "Intermediario Immateriale" in 2003, on whose pages will develop the idea of combinations of words,
weaving an intellectual appeal to poetry as a means of reflection and study of its inner research.
In 2014, he published the book "Parole Altrove" and through the pages of book evolves and continues his literary and philosophical research.
Having exposed beyond national borders, is part of a broader process that has led him to interact with galleries and institutions
beyond environmental issues. It also takes part in several group that want to diffuse the situation and the value of national art.
In Italy, he exhibited his works in many places, although its main focus is certainly not to achieve consensus narcissistic or prepare exhibitions
to thicken the listing for the art curriculum (...... Ante lucrum nomen).

Personal presentation
I am visual artist working in style of Russian Cosmism.
The essence of this style is philosophical interconnection of all terrestrial and human with Cosmic energy
and Universal mind. And I try to show in my artwork how this energy is penetrating all and everything,
and how all nations and beings are connected with each other and grow from the same roots.
I work with unique material developed from ancient Russian iconography recipe - tempera paints with
essential oils.
Some years ago I have started to add fluorescent pigments which change color in black
light. This allow me to show unlimited variety of colors demonstrating the other, energetic side of life.
My paintings are in the permanent collections of several museums, I have participated in about 100
exhibitions including more than 50 solo exhibitions, and my works have been honored at many online
competitions.
Originals of my artworks and giclee prints on paper and canvas are available for purchase.

Ibrahima Diallo
Ibrahima Diallo, Founder of All New York Fun Tours, and NYCPassion was born in Dakar, the
Capital of Senegal.
He lives in New York City since 2003. Prior to being a New Yorker and resident, he has been a tourist in 2000,
and 2001. He sadly was witness to the tragic events of 9/11 2001. Life in NYC was never going to be same,
He thought and didn't come back in 2002. While away a lot went through his mind, questions and answers such
as why did this happen, is New York City, ever going to rise up from this, should I give up on my dreams etc...?
When he came back just like many he started to work in small shops and made it to manager position but deep
inside He felt there's something missing and People he met failed to see The City the way it deserved to
be admired.
In 2007 He became a Ticket agent for one of the 3 double decker tour companies at the time. Only 3 months later
He studied and passed the NYC Department of Consumers Affairs Sightseeing Tour Guide Exam and passed with an
examplary score (120+ good responses out of 150 total). He started to work as a Guide on those buses in
conditions that weren't optimal. It was a great feeling to be able to share the Passion with visitors but
the routine was daily and too limited. NYC is much larger and the Fun element was not always present due
to factors beyound his control.
People deserve more from a guide and any tour company.
Every photo I take should help people feel the Passion I have for New York City. Every Photo should make you
realize the grandeur of what you are looking at while looking at it. It should inspire you and make you
see when it is dark that hope exists.

Valérie (Valeria Cagnoli)
Pittrice autodidatta, Valeria Cagnoli in arte Valérie, nasce nella Lorena, una regione francese del Nord-Est
dove rimarrà fino all’età di 18 anni per poi trasferirsi nella città dell’Aquila ove risiede attualmente.
Laureatasi in Lingue e Letterature Straniere e pur non frequentando scuole e ambienti artistici, è stata attratta,
sin dall’infanzia, dai colori molto densi che coloravano la sua città nativa, Hayange, definita all’epoca
“culla della siderurgia”.
I forni fusori, in continua attività, disegnavano ombre multiformi e fuochi
variopinti che apparivano fatati ed affascinanti agli occhi della piccola pittrice.
La vera passione per la pittura si dichiarerà solo molto più tardi quando, spinta dal bisogno di dare vita
propria alle sue percezioni, ai suoi sogni e alla sua fantasia, si incamminerà verso la ricerca di un "io
artistico" desideroso di dipingere tutto ciò che le viene dal cuore.
Tra i temi prediletti troviamo le pattinatrici sul ghiaccio, le manifestazioni della natura e lo spazio celeste.
Tutto è esaltato con delicatezza ed energia mediante una combinazione di colori molto intensi e vivaci,
inaspettatamente accostati alle tonalità più scure per farle risplendere.
Predilige un’arte figurativa personalizzata che si fonde con scenari surreali, spesso protettivi e idilliaci,
dando così origine ad atmosfere incantate e magiche appartenenti ad un mondo parallelo che si pone in antagonismo
con le brutture della vita per fare regnare paesaggi armoniosi, pacifici e pieni di speranza.
