These investment-grade art assets bring vitality to collections, architectural spaces, business campuses, and offices. The power of a great collection lies in the caliber of the artists behind it. This curated gallery showcases a select group of highly respected contemporary artists whose works are visually captivating. Each artist brings a distinct voice and enduring vision, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire pieces of lasting significance and escalating value. ● Jim Abuan - with an MFA 1976 from the internationally renowned Otis College of Art and Design, then called Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County, Jim has produced a large volume of 'High Art' for many years. Born in the Philippines, he immigrated to the United States at age seven. He has lived in California for seven decades, serving his country in the military, teaching in a public high school, and working in graphics design and architectural rendering firms. His life and work experiences are reflected in his artwork, as one can note with his hard-edged imagery and printed ink transfers. His work has been shown and collected in various environments for decades. His imagery is his own, and collectors will not find art like his elsewhere. His works are timeless investments. ● Natasha Freeman - a Russian-born Meta-Impressionist artist, she has an academic background in art and design, including studies at St. Petersburg Academy of Art, Russia, and Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain. Galleries showed her works at the San Francisco Art Fair, Aqua Art Fair, Art Basel Miami Week, and the Independent Art Fair in Athens, Greece. Galleries represent her internationally. Her artworks are a part of private collections in the United States, Russia, Germany, and Greece. Articles about her artwork are published in different languages in many countries. She fuses Impressionism's emotional, painterly nature with Meta-Aesthetics' conceptual and philosophical aspects. One cannot go amiss by collecting her art. ● Nick Maltagliati - a Bay Area native with a BA from San Francisco State University, Nick is deeply involved with the Bay Area art scene as a curator and interdisciplinary artist. He has shown his artwork in numerous galleries and art events, and recently exhibited in the office of the Director of the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors. He currently engages as a preparator and coordinator for galleries and nonprofit organizations. His fresh and youthful visions of landscapes and still life subjects arc forward with his new generation of artists. The strong gestural lines, active motions, and intense colors bring a room alive with energy. Investing in his art now may be a sensible asset diversification. ● Yari Ostovany - Born in Iran and with an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, Yari is a former art professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.

These pieces are worthy investments. ● Juan Rodriguez - born in San Antonio, Texas, Juan received a BFA from the University of Washington. His work typically uses a classical Renaissance style with contemporary themes, intense in emotional effect. He paints in various media and sculpts in traditional and found media.
