Nadia Russ's artwork was also collected by European and USA Museums of Art. On January 4, 2003, Nadia Russ created a concept of new style of visual arts known as NeoPopRealism. NeoPopRealism combines the brightness and simplicity of Pop Art with deep realism, high energy colours and a graphic nature. NeoPopRealism's 10

Vito Moscato

Vito Moscato is a graduate of Manhattan College and Pratt Institute with degree in Psychology and Art. It is evident in his works that the two are inseparable.

His poetic oils are his most dedicated effort, insired by Frederick Waugh and the classical description of the mightly ocean and shore.
Vito had directed the Sterling art Studio in Jersy City, NJ, as teacher and artist, and is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists, and The Hudson Artists of New Jersy Inc. Vito has had several exhibits in the World Trade Center and the Upstairs Art Gallery, and has been a frequent top prize winner in many shows, including a New Jersey State Silver Medal Award.
