SUMMARY:"One Race One Face" by Sal Patalano
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Florida’s bustling streets\, amidst the cacophony of daily life and overlooked corners of society\, my lens finds its true calling. I am Sal Patalano\, a street portrait photographer whose work delves deep into the visceral tapestry of human existence. My art is not just about capturing images; it is about narrating the untold stories of resilience\, despair\, and the unyielding dignity of those often relegated to the shadows of our gaze. \nDriven by an insatiable desire to confront the raw reality of life\, my photography ventures beyond the superficial veneer of society. Each\nframe is a poignant exploration of the human condition\, a candid portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those who find themselves battling substance abuse\, mental illness\, or the relentless sting of homelessness. My subjects are not just subjects; they are individuals whose stories of struggle and survival are frequently ignored or silenced by a society that deems them unwanted. \nThrough my lens\, the streets transform into an open stage without doors to close or curtains to draw. This unfiltered exposure lays bare the stark truth of existence for many\, in a world where privacy is a privilege they cannot afford. My work seeks to dismantle the barriers of indifference\, inviting viewers to confront the discomfort of acknowledging these harsh truths. \nThe essence of my photography lies not in exploiting pain\, but in amplifying the silent cries for recognition and respect that emanate from the fringes of our communities. It is a call to acknowledge the inherent dignity of every individual\, regardless of their circumstances. By casting light on the darkened alleys of society\, my aim is to foster a deeper understanding and empathy towards those who are often dismissed as ‘unwanted’ by the mainstream. \nIn this journey\, my camera is both a witness and a storyteller\, chronicling the unseen and unspoken with a hope to raise awareness and inspire action. Through the stark\, unapologetic portrayal of reality\, my work aspires to challenge perceptions\, provoke thought\, and ultimately\, catalyze change. \nAs an artist\, I am committed to using my craft to unveil the beauty and tragedy of life on the streets\, inviting viewers to look beyond their own worlds and consider the broader human experience. It is in this space of visibility and recognition that I believe true understanding and  compassion can flourish. \nMy photography is more than an artistic endeavor; it is a relentless pursuit of truth\, a homage to the strength of the human spirit\, and a plea for a more inclusive and compassionate society. \n– Sal Patalano

SUMMARY:"Behind My Mask" by Keila Small
DESCRIPTION:My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself as a woman. Through my new series\,” Through my\nEyes”\, I do not limit myself to one style or concept simply because interpretation and ideas change. I believe in creativity\, imagination and self-expression. I portray my subjects in surroundings that are relevant to my life and/or in a manner that best captives my emotions at the time. I think of my work as a celebration and affirmation of my life. Each portrait is an adventure and curiosity of the human figure. I want to infuse my portraits with a sense of realism\, so each painting appears relaxed and familiar. Art is more about communicating what I am feeling than what I am seeing. My goal is to capture women’s beauty by allowing them to be themselves. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW! \nBIO\nI currently live and work in sunny Florida. I was raised in Port-Au-Prince\, Haiti. When I was younger\, I was encouraged to pursue education and career interests that would lead to fulfilling my family’s goals for me. I always did artwork\, often hiding my devotion to the craft I loved.\nAfter graduating high school in Haiti\, I went on to North Carolina A&T State University obtaining a BS in Applied Mathematics. While I studied hard and succeeded in these endeavors’ art was always in my heart and on my mind. Today\, if I am asked what I do or even who I am\, I am proud to answer…I am an artist.

SUMMARY:"One Race One Face" by Sal Patalano
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Florida’s bustling streets\, amidst the cacophony of daily life and overlooked corners of society\, my lens finds its true calling. I am Sal Patalano\, a street portrait photographer whose work delves deep into the visceral tapestry of human existence. My art is not just about capturing images; it is about narrating the untold stories of resilience\, despair\, and the unyielding dignity of those often relegated to the shadows of our gaze. \nDriven by an insatiable desire to confront the raw reality of life\, my photography ventures beyond the superficial veneer of society. Each\nframe is a poignant exploration of the human condition\, a candid portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those who find themselves battling substance abuse\, mental illness\, or the relentless sting of homelessness. My subjects are not just subjects; they are individuals whose stories of struggle and survival are frequently ignored or silenced by a society that deems them unwanted. \nThrough my lens\, the streets transform into an open stage without doors to close or curtains to draw. This unfiltered exposure lays bare the stark truth of existence for many\, in a world where privacy is a privilege they cannot afford. My work seeks to dismantle the barriers of indifference\, inviting viewers to confront the discomfort of acknowledging these harsh truths. \nThe essence of my photography lies not in exploiting pain\, but in amplifying the silent cries for recognition and respect that emanate from the fringes of our communities. It is a call to acknowledge the inherent dignity of every individual\, regardless of their circumstances. By casting light on the darkened alleys of society\, my aim is to foster a deeper understanding and empathy towards those who are often dismissed as ‘unwanted’ by the mainstream. \nIn this journey\, my camera is both a witness and a storyteller\, chronicling the unseen and unspoken with a hope to raise awareness and inspire action. Through the stark\, unapologetic portrayal of reality\, my work aspires to challenge perceptions\, provoke thought\, and ultimately\, catalyze change. \nAs an artist\, I am committed to using my craft to unveil the beauty and tragedy of life on the streets\, inviting viewers to look beyond their own worlds and consider the broader human experience. It is in this space of visibility and recognition that I believe true understanding and  compassion can flourish. \nMy photography is more than an artistic endeavor; it is a relentless pursuit of truth\, a homage to the strength of the human spirit\, and a plea for a more inclusive and compassionate society. \n– Sal Patalano

SUMMARY:"Behind My Mask" by Keila Small
DESCRIPTION:My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself as a woman. Through my new series\,” Through my\nEyes”\, I do not limit myself to one style or concept simply because interpretation and ideas change. I believe in creativity\, imagination and self-expression. I portray my subjects in surroundings that are relevant to my life and/or in a manner that best captives my emotions at the time. I think of my work as a celebration and affirmation of my life. Each portrait is an adventure and curiosity of the human figure. I want to infuse my portraits with a sense of realism\, so each painting appears relaxed and familiar. Art is more about communicating what I am feeling than what I am seeing. My goal is to capture women’s beauty by allowing them to be themselves. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW! \nBIO\nI currently live and work in sunny Florida. I was raised in Port-Au-Prince\, Haiti. When I was younger\, I was encouraged to pursue education and career interests that would lead to fulfilling my family’s goals for me. I always did artwork\, often hiding my devotion to the craft I loved.\nAfter graduating high school in Haiti\, I went on to North Carolina A&T State University obtaining a BS in Applied Mathematics. While I studied hard and succeeded in these endeavors’ art was always in my heart and on my mind. Today\, if I am asked what I do or even who I am\, I am proud to answer…I am an artist.
