BOOK DESIGN GALLERIES
Several of the artists who participate in Casavaria's online galleries also work as book illustration and cover designers. Their artwork has come to represent the color and charisma of titles produced by Linkgua Ediciones and by Casavaria Publishing, enhancing the overall quality of works by both new and classical authors.
BRILLIANT MODULAR CANVASES BY J.A.R.
Jenny Alfonso Relova is a painter of Cuban origin, presently residing in France, where she directs the Artelier Habana. Her work is comprised of a variety of materials (including coffee, sand and lichen) overlaid and built up into rich textures and which create a different sense of two-dimensional space. Her paintings multiply the levels of experience available to the viewer, suggesting a natural sensuality which enriches perception as such...
SKETCHES & PORTRAITS BY LAINEY JOHR
A new collection of drawings by the artist and designer Lainey Johr. These portraits resonate with an inherent humanity, a level of emotional depth and mysterious expression that brings the viewer to a different level of consciousness of the features and tendencies of the human face...
OHMENAJE: A ELLOS, LOS CERCANOS COTIDIANOS
The works in this December 2006, January 2007 exhibit in the center of Barcelona show a strong interest for the ways in which human beings invest their environment with substance and meaning, reaching the passion of a fertile landscape, even in the textures of the everyday.
CONTRALUZ: CONTRAST IN MINUTIA
This series of photographs is an exploration in tone and contrast, in halftone coloring and light's ability to break apart into extremes, with the effect of illuminating our own ambient inquiry... the space we inhabit, the clues that give us a sense of meaning in the world we walk through, breath and discover, daily...
PAINTINGS & SKETCHES BY MARCO HDEZ.
Marco is a painter and graphic artist from Mexico, with a talent for rich, vivid color and evocative texturing. His works have been featured in shows on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as on the covers of and the interior of books by both classical and modern authors.
PAINTINGS & SKETCHES BY JORGE MATA
Jorge Mata explores in his art the point at which the human gaze becomes an exposition of the tensions, drive and vulnerability underlying today's emotional life. His work is featured in exposition in Barcelona, Spain, and as cover art for numerous books published by Linkgua Ediciones, a Spain-based publisher.
DELICATE VESSELS
This series of black and white photographs was taken between 1995 and 2004 and has been recently refinished and updated. The photographer has taken pains to capture not only the light and the texture of his subjects, but also the fragility of all answers to the question of what makes living in the frame of such images a worthy endeavor.

Scenes from Tanzania, with a unique & penetrating eye
Jennifer's travels in Tanzania in 2005, which included visit to inland villages, to major parklands and to coastal regions, allowed her to mix with the people whose country and condition she was there to study, and to glimpse candid moments of intimate if ordinary occurences.
'TREE OF LIFE' MAKES USED WEAPONS INTO SIGN OF HOPE
11 July 2005
In the wake of Mozambique's long civil war, lasting from 1976 to 1992, a group of artists set up the Transforming Arms into Tools project in the nation's capital, Maputo. Sculptors use decomissioned weapons, and parts of weapons to make art, expressing the possibility of finding new ways to secure and advance civil society. [Full Story]

AVEDON'S PREGNANT SELVES
RICHARD AVEDON'S PORTRAITS AT THE MET
Avedon's work itself seems to be structured around a fundamental 'island place' of individual being. The subject is starkly portrayed, in silence and asymmetry, against the abstraction of a white background. The whole of an individual's life experience seems visible through the features into which he or she has developed by way of that experience. [Full Text]
RESORT TO BEAUTY
ON THE VALUE OF EXPERIENTIAL BEAUTY IN RESOLVING CONFLICT
Beauty, though mysterious, undefinable, even variable according to subjective experience, is woven into every aspect of life and lived experience. Maybe it is the poet's province alone to take on the burden of working this through, seeing it always, being aware of the most menial, severe and terrible beauties. But the poet's work has resonance because it conjures up a latent awareness of improbable charms, hidden among the tortuous threadwork, the causeways of consciousness. [Full Text]
The film The Hours is not about what most people seem to think. The common wisdom is that this is a film about a writer, and about the effects of her writing over time... or else that it's about an emotional struggle that is transferred from person to person through a series of more or less tenuous or intimate relationships... or that it has to do with the victimization of innocent and fragile souls by a harsh and careless world. But I think it probes much deeper than any of the above crises, and touches a fundamental problem of human equilibrium, that is, an existential balance based in the enigma of an elusive raison d'être.

CAVE PAINTING
ON THE MAKING OF MEANING
It is the simplest construction: the color seeps in, a single shade mixing with the varied and ancient qualities of the rock. Texture is born. The act redefines the full gamut of existence. It says we are here, and we are made of presence, and we are aware, and we can articulate experience. The expressed fact and the existent being come together. Civilization is begun. [Full Text]
