The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are George's artist biography and statement, together with 25 of his Omo Valley Collection photographs. All of the subjects are all members of the Suri Tribe. We encourage you to peruse his information and admire his art.
Over the past 45 years, George Salter's photography has added new layers to a lifelong fascination with beauty in unexpected places. Early in his career, light and shadow became a central preoccupation, with beauty revealing itself in the geometry and colors of architecture and marine vessels. Drawn to the lines, angles, and textures of architectural features, Salter transformed these details into subjects in their own right, elevating them beyond their role as fragments of a larger structure. This sensibility culminated in his first solo show, Architectural Abstracts, at the EG Photo Gallery in 1992.
Alongside this architectural work, Salter cultivated a parallel love for street photography, an art form long defined by capturing candid moments from a careful, unnoticed distance. That approach shifted fundamentally in 2024, during a trip to Bhutan, where photographing people without their permission is socially unacceptable. There, he began moving physically closer to his subjects — asking permission, building trust, and working collaboratively rather than covertly. As international photographer GMB Akash has observed, "getting close is hard. It asks for courage. It asks for connection. It asks for heart." In that closeness, Salter discovered something new: genuine personal connections with people willing to be vulnerable, to reveal something intimate, to share a fleeting moment of mutual understanding.
This shift redefined his practice. Salter's photographs now dwell in distinctly human territory — where eyes begin to speak and unwritten histories come to life. No longer simply a street photographer, he has become a street portrait photographer, traveling the globe in search of willing collaborators for thoughtful, considered portraits. This pursuit has led him to Cuba, Bolivia, the Philippines, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Russia, India, Bhutan, and Ethiopia, with travels to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea planned for 2026.
My street portraits are intended to be a celebration of different ethnicities around the world, sharing a glimpse into the way people relate to their surroundings through unique customs, foods, dress, music and art. Many ethnic groups are losing their unique identities, and I believe it is important to tell their stories now.
Faces tell stories. Meaningful portraits are collaborations between a subject and a photographer, with each contributing something essential. I photograph people who live in challenging places, where struggle is a fact of life, where joys and hardships are etched into each face. Eyes that reflect resilience are what I am trying to capture.
As a street portrait photographer, my attention is drawn to the individual. My approach is slow. I must break down barriers, alleviating fear and mistrust. I make eye contact, smile, and let the interaction develop naturally. I want to get to a moment of connection, of understanding, often without spoken language.
A portrait is successful when the precise moment of connection is captured in such a way that the viewer, too, can experience that moment.

Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Yanrong Zhou's artist biography and statement, together with 10 of her acrylic paintings. We encourage you to peruse her information and admire her art.
Over the course of her career, Yanrong Zhou has built a distinguished record of recognition in pastel painting across both national and international exhibitions. Her work first gained attention in 2018, when Looking Up received a Nomination Award and Pulling Weeds earned an Excellence Award at the National Pastel Art Exhibitions held by Suzhou Ming Art Museum. This momentum continued into 2019, when White was selected for the prestigious 47th Annual Exhibition of the Pastel Society of America, and Sublimation claimed another Excellence Award in Suzhou. Her 2022 pastel Sea went on to win Second Prize at the Shanghai Pastel Painting Summer Online Exhibition, further cementing her standing in the Chinese pastel art community.
In the years since, Zhou's work has been consistently recognized at the national level. Not Being the Boss for Years was selected into the 4th National Pastel Exhibition of China in 2023, and Master Wu was featured in the 5th "Xu Beihong Spirit" Chinese Painting and Oil Painting Exhibition in early 2024. More recently, Waiting received an Excellence Award at the 2024 New Year Online Exhibition of 89 Art Community, while Nobody Cares earned a place in multiple 2025 pastel exhibitions. Rounding out her international reach, Looking Up was awarded an Honorary Nomination at the 2025 American Portrait Art Competition and was selected into a female painters invitational exhibition the same year.
I use my brush like a hoe and have worked on my three-foot canvas for over thirty years. I believe true art is not far away but in every breath, and my brush is an honest witness that only paints what I see with my eyes and hold in my heart. What the paint builds up is not perfect technique, but the rough and warm texture of life itself. In an era swept by fast-paced culture, I choose to stick to slowness, letting my colors stay bright and unfading, and I only do one thing: use my brush to fight against forgetting. I think the value of art lies not in depicting grand spectacles, but in finding eternal beauty in the small, ordinary parts of life. Every stroke of color is a quiet whisper between me and the world, and every work is a snapshot of time like amber. In this age of hurry, I am willing to be a slow craftsman, observing the world in a simple way and spending the rest of my life in this sincere dialogue with beauty. My creed is not in words, but in every unfinished painting and the morning light that will rise again tomorrow.

Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Wu,Pei-Han's artist biography and statement, together with 16 of her art-gypsum clay and fibers sculptures. We encourage you to peruse her information and admire her art.
Wu,Pei-Han is a fashion and art creator. She specializes in creating various styles and mixed-media artworks and is proficient in character styling. Her works particularly emphasize the expression of feminine perspectives and use elegant, romantic symbols as metaphors, integrating the concept of memory into depictions of real-life situations. Over the past few years, she has applied this technique to interpret more than a hundred creations. Her technical approach blends design with artistic aesthetics, skillfully and successfully shaping the overall stylistic characteristics, giving the styled images a new form of life, awakening the soul of the characters, and aiming to enhance the audience’s possibilities for interpretation and storytelling while capturing their hearts.
The "River of Primordial Chaos" series explores the nature of life, consciousness, and time. The river serves as a metaphor for time—it never ceases, carrying fragments of memories, emotions, and life itself, flowing from its source toward an unknown destination. However, this river is not clear or orderly; it is "chaotic"—filled with primal energy, uncertain possibilities, conflicting emotions, and forgotten dreams.
This series primarily uses plaster and fiber as materials to create a dialogue of matter:
Plaster: Represents "solidification" and "structure." It is hard, heavy, and fragile—like the concrete memories in our lives, the frameworks we build, societal norms, or wounds that have already hardened. Its white purity also carries a quiet sense of death.
Fiber: Represents "flow" and "connection." It is soft, light, and resilient—like threads of emotion, the flow of the subconscious, neural networks, or those undefinable, ever-changing parts of life. It can be both a binding constraint and a gentle shelter.
Through the tension, fusion, and opposition between the "form" of plaster and the "formlessness" of fiber, this series materializes the chaotic river that rushes within each of us—a force that both creates and destroys.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Paola Magini has been selected as one of the four winning artists of the gallery’s recent 31st “Solo Art Series” Art Competition. Paola will now have a month-long solo art exhibition, and she will be featured on the gallery’s front page, on the Gallery’s YouTube Channel, as well as in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Paola Magini is an internationally acclaimed award-winning artist based in Italy. She will now be promoted by the gallery with an extensive public relations campaign.
For this solo exhibition, the gallery will distribute, promote, and circulate press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will also provide social media distribution through LST’s broad social media network.
Paola’s art will also be featured on the gallery’s YouTube Channel, and with an event postcard.
The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Paola’s Artist Biography and her Artist Statement, along with 12 of her paintings. We hope that you will take the time to read her information and to take a look at her mixed media artwork.
Paola Magini was born in Siena and dedicated herself to drawing and painting since she was a child, but she received her first artistic training at the Duccio di Buoninsegna Art Institute in Siena.
After a year at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, she learned the technique of fresco and mural paintings with the painter Paolo Graziani, who led her to create numerous private and public works throughout the country, practicing painting at a professional level, participating in exhibitions and winning competitions for the creation of public artworks.
A list of all her exhibitions and public works can be found on her website.
The general style of the works is influenced by various geographical and historical cultural elements, but more accentuated by the decorative elements of Islamic culture, sometimes mixed with graphic elements belonging to the present period and others from Renaissance and Flemish art. The works are formally figurative and realistic, with a dreamlike atmosphere and ‘suspended’ in time.
Some symbolic elements are frequently present in the paintings that refer to the underlying spiritual message. Among these are doors, water or fountains (symbols often present in the Scriptures) as well as other elements typical of the artist’s personal iconography. The people depicted are a synthesis of future and past humanity, dressed in vintage clothes and hairstyles, but full of tattoos and with hair often as colorful as humanity of the present time.
“The purpose of my work, in addition to satisfying the creative need that I have felt since I was a child, consists in wanting to push people to make an in-depth reflection on the importance of spirituality in their lives, as a healthier approach to oppose the rampant materialism in today’s society.
A society that pushes people to the most unbridled individualism and consumerism, a lifestyle that clearly damages people’s mental health. Through the teaching of the Scriptures and a serious meditation on society and its behaviors, one can achieve a new awareness and hope for the future.”
Technically, the paintings are generally made on wood with a mixed technique of oil and acrylic colors, together with gold leaf

A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Emma's artist biography and statement, together with 10 of her acrylic paintings. We encourage you to peruse her information and admire her art.
Emma Song Yunci, born in 1996, emerges as a rising star in the world of freelance art. Her artistic odyssey is a captivating exploration of femininity, rendered exquisitely through the medium of acrylic portraiture.
With a discerning eye, Emma Song Yunci captures the ephemeral, lazy moments of women's daily lives, imbuing them with a soft, dreamlike color palette. These seemingly ordinary instants are transformed into profound expressions of emotional depth, as she delves into the intricate nuances of her subjects' demeanors. Through her art, she masterfully weaves together the threads of natural visual allure and the indomitable inner vitality of women, creating a visual narrative that resonates deeply.
From 2014 to 2018, Emma Song Yunci embarked on an academic adventure at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. There, she immersed herself in the study of Jewelry Design, earning a Bachelor's degree. This educational journey not only honed her creative sensibilities but also instilled in her a unique perspective on form, color, and material, which would later inform her artistic practice.
As a freelance artist, my work is deeply rooted in my personal understanding and belief in the transformative power of art. This collection seeks to capture the inherent power and tranquility of life, reflecting the gentle beauty of women as they nurture life, alongside their resilient energy in navigating its highs and lows. My creative philosophy is inspired by the ebbs and flows of existence—life, much like an ocean, is a journey of ups and downs, where we often confront solitude and challenges.
In my artistic process, I employ soft colors to evoke the tenderness of women, often portraying serene, everyday moments that highlight their natural beauty. Simultaneously, I strive to capture the profound vitality in their expressions, revealing the dynamic essence of life itself. My canvas becomes a medium to infuse visual vitality, softness, and a sense of peaceful stillness—a much - needed balm in a complex and turbulent world. I believe people crave beauty, and this world, in turn, yearns for the healing that beauty can bring.
My art is a journey of redemption, both for myself and for others. Through the slow, deliberate flow of my brushstrokes, I traverse time and space, drawing strength from the act of creation. In this intricate world, I find solace in the beautiful moments I depict. Looking ahead, I envision my future works embracing the lost and downtrodden—those who feel broken or overlooked. I aim to paint their stories, to dust off their weary souls, and to offer them a path forward through the restorative power of art.

Through vibrant color, textured layers, and meaningful subjects, Johansen’s art celebrates the beauty of individuality and the ever-evolving connection between people and their environment.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Rita Bartel has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Rita Bartel is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist based in California, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 29th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her artwork to be showcased in this feature.
Her Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting her artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Rita’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her modernist, realist, figurative paintings that were submitted to this competition.
Rita Bartel has been creating art her entire life. Formal training began at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and helped to foster her early career. She currently belongs to several local artist’s associations as well as a few national/international art societies.
While retirement has afforded her the time to devote to her craft, rich life experience and travel have provided the grist for the mill. Influenced by artists such as Vermeer, Mary Cassatt, Picasso, and Tamara de Lempicka, she has created a body of work which epitomizes her interest in the face, the figure, and their incorporation into the rich landscapes of everyday life.
I am a modernist, realist, figurative painter, and I love to paint scenes from my travels and everyday life which tell a story. I take a subject which I find beautiful or interesting, and paint it in a way that allows the viewer to see it realistically for what it is, with a touch of mystery or style added to emphasize the other forces going on below the surface.
With oils, I accomplish this by using an acrylic underpainting, which I allow to show through in places. In soft pastels, I use watercolor, inks, or alcohol washes for the underpainting. For example in “Three Wise Men”, I used a multicolored geometric pattern as an underpainting to give the viewer an added perspective.
I love to paint my stories, and my goal is to have the viewer enter my world and share in my experiences.

Below is Wu,Pei-Han’s Artist Biography and her Artist Statement, along with 16 of her sculptures. We hope that you will take the time to read her information and to take a look at his work.
Wu,Pei-Han is a fashion art creator. She excels at creating different forms of plastic art and is skilled in various types of modeling. The work focuses on expressing female thinking and using elegant and romantic symbols as metaphors, while incorporating the concept of memory into real life situations. Over the past few years, the author has used this technique to interpret more than a hundred creative works. Her technical interpretation integrates design and artistic beauty, interestingly and successfully shaping the overall modeling character and giving the modeling image another form of life. Awakening the soul of the character, hoping to increase the possibilities of reading and narrative skills for the audience, and retain the hearts of the audience.
In recent years, I have noticed the pollution problems related to clothing and began to use waste fiber clothing materials to create creations. This series of creations uses my own body during pregnancy as the creative context to depict its beauty. Additionally, I incorporate the method of plaster clay sculpture to turn wedding portrait photos into semi-3D sculpture creations. These unique artworks serve as wall decorations and cherished mementos, commemorating precious memories.
As for the materials, I choose materials and accessories used in wedding photography, and clothes and fabrics discarded when the baby grows up. I use sculptural techniques to solidify, sculpt, and dye fabrics to give waste fabrics another life and visual experience value. Through fabric curing, engraving, and dyeing, waste fabric fibers are given another form, interpreting the value of life and new visual experience, effectively extending the visual vitality of art, and using this method to convey the context of thinking and attitude, and conversations about life processes and experiences.

She inherited her artistic abilities from her father, Dick Scullin, who was a well-known commercial artist and who worked for various advertising agencies in Detroit from the early 1960s until 2000. When Maureen was young, she began her artistic education by spending countless hours learning from her father.
After many years of studying with her dad, Maureen moved out on her own and studied at The Parsons School of Design, NYC. Before Maureen even finished college, she was accepting illustration jobs from book publishers, advertising agencies and corporate clients. She had a successful career as an illustrator for many years.
After having a family she moved to Asheville, North Carolina where she enjoyed watching her girls grow up and where her family enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery.
Today, Maureen is a full-time artist in the Raleigh, NC area. She concentrates on creating commissioned portraits, fine art landscapes, still life paintings, and figurative artwork. “I love painting almost every day and I enjoy learning new skills and methods to apply to my artwork,” Maureen says. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t want to be in my studio. It’s where I feel most at home.
My art journey began in Detroit with my father’s influence. He was a commercial artist who spent countless hours teaching me about art. I moved to the NYC area and I attended Parson’s School of Art. I then became an illustrator creating book covers, magazine illustrations, as well as art for Ad agencies. Later, I turned my focus to pursuing fine art. I continually try to improve my skills by attending artist workshops and studying the great masters. There is no “safe point” for me when I feel I know all and feel comfortable and confident in my work. There’s always more to learn. It’s a bit of an anxiety ride, but worth the journey. If I can step back, look at one of my paintings and feel that I might be getting somewhere…it’s worth the ride!

The gallery’s exhibition for March 2024 is the 14th Annual “Figurative” Online Art Exhibition. Both 2D and 3D artists, from around the world, were asked to submit their best abstract and/or representational art.
The gallery received 568 entries from 20 different countries around the world, as well as from 27 different states and the District of Columbia.
The exhibition has been divided into three media categories - Painting & Other Media, Photography & Digital and 3 Dimensional categories. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the twelve (12) best entries comprised from all the media categories.
The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.
All winning entries will now be featured on the Light Space & Time website homepage for the 3 months. Thereafter, the artworks will remain online in the Light Space & Time Archives. To see exhibitions prior to March 2022, please visit our LST Archives website.

After the opening of this Artist Showcase, it was brought to our attention that the artworks submitted were not the work of the artist.
We investigated the matter and determined that the artist did, in fact, submit work that was not her own. It was the work of several different artists and was deliberately submitted deceptively.
Therefore we have removed this Artist Showcase from the Light Space Time website.
We work very hard to do our due diligence when jurying work that is submitted to all of our art competitions and accepted into all of our art exhibitions. However, we work on the honor system. Due to the time constraints of running a website that hosts as many competitions/exhibitions as we do each year, it is simply not possible to independently verify each individual artwork that is submitted. Therefore, we have to assume artists are being honest and honorable when they submit artwork to our competitions.
Regardless, at the bottom of every one of our entry forms, before artists can complete their entry, they must click a box affirming that the work they are submitting is their own and they own the copyright to the work. We require this to enter all of our art competitions on both the LST website and its parent company, Fusion Art's website.
Here is the verbiage on the entry forms:
I Own the Copyrights to These Image(s) and I am authorized to upload them to this art competition. Also, I have Read, Understand and Agree to all of the Rules, the Terms of Service & the Privacy Policy to this Art Competition and to LIGHTSPACETIME.ART. I agree that by entering this art competition I am "opting in" to Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's email list. I also agree that I understand that entry fees are NOT refundable under any circumstances, including if my artwork is not selected for inclusion in the exhibition. If I do not agree to these terms, I will not submit my artwork for consideration.
We, at Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery and Fusion Art, take copyright infringement and stealing the work of other artists very seriously. Under NO circumstances do we allow stolen or copyright infringed artwork on our websites. Any time a question arises regarding copyright, we immediately take action and investigate. Then we take the appropriate action and remove any and all work in question from the website. We will continue to do so as protecting artists and their work is our most important mission.
Thank you and, as always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, which resulted in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions. This was the 25th “Solo Art Series” Art Competition that the gallery has conducted.
Below are Nic’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 25 of her artworks. We hope that you will take the time to read Nic’s information and to take a look at her beautiful animal oil paintings.
Over the years, Nic Tibo has always been drawn to arts, drawing and crafts. She has experimented several techniques: fashion design, decorative painting on ceramic pieces as well as different mediums: watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.
Today, she creates original art works painted in oil on gallery canvas in a realistic figurative style with sometimes a touch of abstract. You will find sober colors to very colorful work of art. The subjects represented are mostly photographed by the artist.
Nicole has taken many art workshops: Oil painting - Réjane Parizeault artist / Watercolor – watercolor artist Jean-Yves Guindon /Figure and Portrait Drawing – Ottawa School of Art / Decorative painting / Fashion design – Robinson Academy / Owner – ceramic pieces’ workshop: decoration, training, sale / Photography – Marsan College.
She has participated in artistic events to exhibit her paintings including exhibitions at the residence “Sage au piano” in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, she won "Public's Favorite" prize at the 8th Art Competition of Lake Superior's Municipality, with the theme Wilderness. In 2023, a wolf painting was chosen by Society of Canadian Artists for their Open International Online Juried Exhibition. and two paintings was also chosen for their 55th Open International Online Juried Exhibition. She participated at the Pelham Art Festival and an exhibition at Marché Bon Secours, Montreal (Plaisirs d'artistes).
My interest in the arts has always been present in various forms: drawing, painting, photography but today I realize my artistic ambitions: paint my subjects realistically, in oil paint. Painting is for me a testimony to nature that I just love. It is my main source of inspiration: landscapes, flowers and first and foremost, birds and animals.
My process begins with observing birds and wildlife in their environment. Also, visits to animal parks and sanctuaries enables me to take many pictures of various interesting species. Following my observations and research, the work takes shape several months in advance in my head. Afterwards, creation is made on canvas, closest to reality, while going into the different steps related to oil painting: layer's superposition and drying time.
Work is from background to foreground - from general to specific, striving to create something that is captivating and enjoyable to watch. The composition is edited ad manipulated until satisfaction and the main objective is to create a painting that has a sense of depth. Each painting is an opportunity for me to play with colors, lights and shadows in order to reflect this magic that only painting can manage to create.

This was the 24th “Solo Art Series” Art Competition that the gallery has conducted.
Below are Debra’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 18 of her paintings. We hope that you will take the time to read Debra’s information and to take a look at her beautiful “Bather Series” of paintings.
From the intense, diverse energy of New York, Debra creates powerful narrative works drawn from her imagination. Her work is bold, whimsical, colorful and symbolic. Her color palette is inspired by the intense light of the southern hemisphere of her youth. Under vivid blue skies, nature’s colors pulsate with life. She is drawn to the unnatural juxtaposition of images and fantasy. Whimsy is often expressed through symbolic use of native birds. If studied closer these become the energy, the clue as to the tone of the narrative. Debra uses the exotic floral natives, like the Waratah, morphed with the human form to create haunting yet striking images.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, she grew up a bare foot youth exploring nature in all its' forms. A pencil or paintbrush her voice. Debra then went on to study life drawing and portraiture at The Paddington Art School in Sydney. Her fascination with the figure combined with her passion for dance led to dynamic figurative pieces where the subject almost leaps off the canvas. Executed in oil on canvas her stimulating symbolic paintings are rich with vibrant color. Early in her career she took to travel overseas, settling for a year in Mexico to devote to her art. Around that time her work became infused with an almost decorative carnival quality. This led to paintings now held in private collections internationally.
My bather series places an unposed figure in a surreal cocoon of nature. My creative language are the ocean inlets and vegetation of my Australian roots. I chose a vintage bather in my series to reflect a timelessness. There's a longing for a world that used to feel safe. I chose expressive color to enhance the mood of the narrative. The Native Portrait series is an expression of years of being masked. The Australian native birds chosen for each portrait, speaks to the personality of the sitter, their face hidden behind the floral mask.
Debra’s work can be viewed on her website.
