Miguel Díaz

Miguel Díaz aka Sekone, is a multidisciplinary Galician artist who started painting graffiti in 1996, in Vilagarcía, Spain. I agree with Boom that the series of collages he’s been sharing on Instagram are quite refreshing.

Secundido Hernandez

Makes some large paintings. As someone who also has an academic background and is interested in an equilibrium between chaos and control, I’m in.

Maria, who is no longer with us, stills gets respect for her contributions to abstraction, mostly because her unique approach was a melding of her early schooling with the French Cubist Fernand Léger with other modernist modes like Futurism and Constructivism.
