Old World

Folkhoffer

Herbert Folkhoffer was born in Leyden, Holland in the Netherlands. His mother, an art teacher at the Leyden Art College, encouraged his natural abilities. As he was growing up, he was rarely seen without a sketch pad, drawing the fields, streams, canals and especially the wonderful Dutch traditional homes. Folkhoffer had the ability to make the viewer see himself a part of that period of time. His technique involved first sketching several scenes from different angles, then transferring his impressions to an oil sketch on wood and then on canvas. He was particularly well known for his ability to capture the texture of light created on the façade of a building, the surface of a street or the fabric of clothing on a person.

Quispe Malca Gilmer

Quispe Malca Gilmer was born in San Miquel de Cajamarca, Peru, the home of his famous uncle, the poet Demetrio Quiroz Malca. He comes from a family of artists, so he came by painting quite naturally. Gilmer’s specialty is the antiquing technique learned in the ateliers of his masters Bartolome Luzanquis, Edilmer Sánchez and Jorge Arribasplata. His work is Flemish in style--ultra realistic, utilizing dark backgrounds and clear, vibrant colors that make the subject matter appear to “glow.” Gilmer now works and lives in Lima. His work has been exhibited extensively and can be found in collections all over the world.

J. Rolands

J. Rolands was born in Delft, Holland in 1913 and is still actively painting! Like his father, he became a pharmacist and took lessons in art in his spare time. As he became more interested in painting, he attended the Royal Academy of fine Arts in Amsterdam. Shortly after graduation, he opened a studio and was successful from the start. Rolands’ favorite subjects are Dutch Canal scenes, landscapes and charming street scenes of the old world. His style is very impressionistic-loose and expressive-with exquisite use of architectural elements. His work is exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

Tino Rusconi

Born in Lecco in 1958, Tino Rusconi has spent most of his life in Bergamo, Italy. His career started relatively late at age twenty when he began working with Gilberto Peruta in his studio. Since then, he has been totally dedicated to his artistic research. Rusconi especially enjoys the study of northern Italian villages and has developed his own unique style. His work is often highly detailed, but contemporary, and reveals his poetic soul. Rusconi had the good fortune to be noticed by Lombard art critics and has gained recognition throughout Europe.
