Alejandro was born in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, Baja California. Perhaps that’s why he seems to have a natural talent for capturing beautiful men. See more of his work here, or visit AlejandroCaspe.com.

Some artists create dreams. Some create fantasies. Blair Parkinson creates both. See more of his work at Living Horus Male Nudes.
Blair in his own words:
I strive for some kind of narrative in my paintings, even if it is as small as the within the glance in a subjects’ eye. As a result of this I have recently ventured into the world of graphic storytelling, seeing this as a natural progression of my work, as I find it somewhat difficult at times to “let go” of a character or situation I am trying to portray. I have always been attracted to history, mythology and the way these have shaped the story of mankind. My aim is to remember these stories in my art.
Contrasts between the human figure and various textures and forms that are found in architecture and fabric interest me, and my intention is to explore the interaction between the subject and surrounding space.
My background in theatre design has given me the desire and knowledge to put what I see in my mind onto the blank page in front of me.
Currently I am exploring the endless possibilities of Digital Art, while previously I worked with acrylic on canvas, in pastel, pen and ink and sometimes 3D forms. I also have a preference for strong colours, and contrasting textures and patterns and an obsession with detail.
I believe that painting, as with any creative pursuit, is an access to the Divine, and seek to achieve an essence of spirituality in my work.

If Salvador Dali produced an illegitimate offspring, Max Sauco must be his grandson. Surrealists hold a special place in the world of art: they fascinate us, dazzle us and enchant us with the mysteries of the human mind. Some of them, like Max Sauco, shine with incredible talent. Visit his website here.
So what is it that makes Russian artists so outstanding and talented? In an interview by FotoLoft Gallery, Max provided a glimpse of his background:
“At the age of six I wanted to be an American Indian, at nine – a paleontologist, at thirteen – a surgeon. As early as in grade six or so I knew absolutely well that I wanted to be a surgeon and nobody else. I used to hammer at anatomical charts, I knew every single bone in a human body, everything was very serious indeed. But somehow the very last moment I applied for enrollment in the Irkutsk College of the Arts although I had no experience even of a common art school while the competition that year was 11 applicants per a place. Still it occurred somehow that I was matriculated and that moment I realized: that was my destiny. Everything I can originates from those studies: knowledge of design, drawing, painting, plastic art, surface anatomy, photography, art history – just everything. Years of studies were so saturated and exciting that I had not a single thought about anything beyond art.”

As a young man from Tijuana, Mexico, Alejandro continues to offer up his stunning interpretations of the male form. Perhaps it’s a special lens that no other photographer has been able to get their hands on. Perhaps Mother Nature gave him a special gift. Only one thing is certain: he has amazing talent. See my previous article here.
