G U E S T A R T I S T S
Lev L. Spiro (USA)
Spiro’s dual photographic series Elemental / Thin Places explores the natural world as both sacred and untamed. Elemental captures the volcanic and glacial landscapes of Iceland and Patagonia in striking black-and-white compositions that radiate raw, primordial beauty. Thin draws inspiration from the ancient Celtic idea of “thin places,” where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds briefly dissolves. Together, the works reveal a meditative conversation between the earthly and the transcendent.
Fine Art Photography · Landscape & Spiritual Narrative
Victor Odoi (West Africa)
Odoi’s paintings transform scenes of Ghanaian markets, fishing harbors, and village life into vivid, expressive compositions. His bold brushwork and rich tonal contrasts convey movement, resilience, and joy. Deeply rooted in West African culture yet universally resonant, his art celebrates the shared spirit of labor, rhythm, and belonging.
Oil & Acrylic on Canvas · Cultural Rhythm & Human Connection
“Renatta” Renatti (Argentina)
Renatti’s Emerge series blends the turquoise tones of water with the luminosity of quartz dust and stone. Using layered pigments and reflective materials, she creates tactile abstractions that shimmer between solidity and fluidity. Her work evokes transformation, bringing a sense of calm vitality and natural renewal to contemporary interiors.
Oil & Mixed Media on Canvas · Abstract Nature & Reflection
Tamer Sahinoglu (Turkey)
Sahinoglu’s art captures the textures and atmospheres of the Aegean coast. Employing airbrush and impasto techniques, he layers color and form to portray boats, harbors, and sunlit architecture with striking vibrancy. His distinctive spatula method gives each piece depth and movement, evoking the warmth and rhythm of Mediterranean life.

Master of Italian Contemporary Etchings · Maestro André Beuchat (Italy)
Widely regarded as one of Italy’s foremost contemporary etchers, Maestro André Beuchat has spent over four decades refining the copper engraving process into a medium of profound emotional and architectural expression.

ABOUT LA BOTTEGA GALLERY
With roots in a private collection of Italian etchings built over more than forty years, La Bottega Gallery honors the enduring craft of fine printmaking while curating select contemporary works that share its spirit of precision and depth. What began as an archive of master engravings has evolved into a dialogue between tradition and modern vision, where technique, texture, and storytelling remain at the heart of every piece.
The gallery’s foundation rests on its extensive collection of etchings, a lineage of craftsmanship shaped through decades within the Laguna Beach art community. Over time, this core has expanded to include a curated roster of Guest Artists whose paintings, photographs, sculptures and mixed-media works embody the same commitment to beauty, integrity, and craft.
Each exhibition unites these two worlds, the etched and the contemporary, reflecting a belief that true artistry transcends medium yet remains forever bound to the mastery of the artist.
