Vladimir Kush Presents ‘The Life in the Mirror of Metaphor’ in Art Wynwood Miami 2023
MIAMI – January 18, 2023 – (Newswire.com)
World-renowned artist Vladimir Kush will exhibit a collection of his artworks in Art Wynwood Miami, the premier winter art fair presented by Art Miami, during the 10th Edition of this prestigious event taking place in Miami FL from Feb. 16-19, 2023. The Fair, located in downtown Miami on Biscayne Bay between the Venetian and MacArthur Causeways, will feature an array of international galleries.
The artist and creator of his own genre of art known as “Metaphorical Realism” will showcase a collection of Paintings and Bronze Sculptures to thousands of visitors from around the world. Kush, owner of Kush Fine Art Gallery located in Las Vegas, Laguna Beach, Maui, and Miami Beach welcomes visitors and collectors from all over the world every day and exhibits only his artworks, featuring oil paintings, limited-edition prints on canvas, sublimation on metal, archival paper, pen and ink, and sublimation on tile. The artist also has a collection of bronze and silver sculptures, a unique collection of jewelry inspired in his own artworks, art books for all ages, and a wearable art collection.
To reflect the world in the mirror of the metaphor – this is the goal of the artist. Metaphor does not only belong to linguistic communication but can also be found in our daily life. Metaphor is the means of communication that we live by. First of all, the metaphor is aimed at the viewer’s feelings and subconscious. It gives full rein to imagination, as it is the imagination that creates the connections between two seemingly different things. The artist’s mission is to find a metaphorical “parallel” for every side of real life. The element of unexpectedness will shake up the viewer and awaken his artistic nature. The artist believes that the viewer’s insight comes at once. It is not about discovering something new.
Kush has exhibited his artwork all over the world. KFA Gallery opened to the public 22 years ago and still to this day is one of the most visited and well-recognized art galleries in each of its destinations. Visiting any of his galleries will be the highlight and ultimate destination for anyone who maintains imagination, intellect, and exquisite taste for all genres of art. This luxury and innovative art is the feast for the eyes and the food for the intellect. When you visit KFA you will be served with warmth and an eye for your unique style as you seek the perfect piece to add to your collection.
For more information, visit www.kushfineart.com or email [email protected]. Follow Kush on his social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube channel for the latest news.

Youth Changemakers Nationwide Answer the 2023 Call for Kindness
Annual program provides funding and innovative leadership development opportunities for young people to tackle some of society’s most pressing problems.
NEW YORK – January 18, 2023 – (Newswire.com)
Riley’s Way Foundation opened their Call For Kindness program today, calling on young changemakers (13-22 years old) from across the country to submit their ideas for projects rooted in kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. The Call For Kindness, now in its fifth year, offers youth the chance to participate in a dynamic Leadership Development Fellowship and win up to $3,000 to fund a project that strengthens their local, national, or global communities.
“It’s been incredibly inspiring to see the range of projects young people are leading in their schools and communities,” remarked Dr. Christine O’Connell, Executive Director of Riley’s Way Foundation. “Their passion, resolve, and leadership remind us that the hope for the future lies in great part with the ideas and actions of today’s youth.”
Young people (13-22) are invited to submit a new or existing idea, managing everything from prevailing social justice issues to pressing community-based needs. As many as 36 youth-led projects will receive awards. This year, a separate category will consider 10 projects focused on environmental justice, as the climate crisis and other environmental problems require critical attention.
Additionally, Riley’s Way will continue to support a dance and arts category, the Yuriko Kikuchi Arigato Award, in honor of Yuriko, the pioneering dancer, and choreographer.
“Becoming a Riley’s Way Call For Kindness Fellow has meant that even if things get hard, I’m not alone, and have all these resources if I need anything,” shared 2022 Call For Kindness Fellow Ryan Syed, founder of SAYA’s Project Loving Me.
Past projects have addressed the mental health and well-being of vulnerable communities, promoted education equity, bridged the tech industry’s demographic gap, supported those experiencing homelessness, combatted food insecurity, and much more. The complete list of Call For Kindness projects can be found here.
“The future belongs to a new generation of leaders, who with unshakable determination and a clear sense of purpose, will blaze a trail of innovation and progress to tackle society’s toughest challenges,” shared Ian Sandler, Co-Founder, Board Chair of Riley’s Way. “I am honored to be a part of their journey and will tirelessly work to empower them with the tools and resources they need to make their boldest visions a reality.”
