Today we're delighted to showcase the extraordinary talent of noted Russian artist Olga Nenazhivina. Her work has been internationally exhibited and considered some of the most exquisite created today. Having grown up on the shores of the Sea of Japan, Ms. Nenazhivina was at the confluence of the headwaters of many cultures: Her discipline and penchant for Asian imagery, combined with a breeze of Art Deco can be mesmeric. We thank Ms. Nenazhivina for allowing us to share her expressive painting, "Moment."

One can learn more about her art from her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nenazhivina), Web site and gallery showings.

Today, we share "Night Time" artwork produced for us by famed graphic illustrator Greg-leon-Guillemin. His work is important, provocative and a tribute to the Minimalist quality of Art Deco and Plakatstil. Guillemin produces, among other works, movie posters that reflect his sense of vision and refinement. His work for us is both brilliant and mesmeric, capturing the grace of vintage horology and the face of Strickland Vintage Watches. Our thanks to Grégoire Guillemin for creating this original piece for Strickland Vintage Watches.
