Miguel E, Face2 - What could be a more current topic nowadays than the one chosen for Artist Talk Magazine Issue 18 - “People & Places”. The World lives in an Era where People travel all the time meeting other People and other Places. An Era where, even not traveling, with a mere touch of a screen People permanently meet other People and other Places not leaving their own Place. An Era where People and Places were never so close... and so distant at the same time. “Face2” tries to symbolize this Era. Symbolizes the anonymous People in their endless search to meet new People and new Places. “Face2” was painted in Portugal and attended exhibitions in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Poland… also meeting new “People and Places”...

NYC - DECEMBER 2019

December 2019 I visited New York City. I wanted to create a series of work from my visit therefore, I created the challenge of creating the following: x 5 portraits of strangers on the streets of New York City x 3 street scenes x 3 figurative scenes however, with the aim of having the portrait the focus of the piece. Whilst in New York City, I produced very quick sketches and captured many photographs, which I could use for my own reference later. I wanted to be able to paint the aforementioned later at home from sketches and photographs taken. I am currently working on these. I am also hopeful to create a book, late 2022, showcasing the work produced. Obviously much has changed since this project started and travel is not the same. All the pictures posted were taken during December 2019, when lockdown restrictions did not exist. New York City is one of the worlds most visited cities, so I am sure many people have captured the city in someway, which I would be interested to see, so please feel free to share your experiences. The city is densely packed with some of the tallest skyscrapers on the planet. I would relish to have an art studio within the Manhattan skyline. The city has a lot to offer from a range of astounding museums. Artist Talk has been

fortunate having the opportunity to showcase The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City - The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Also the Whitney Museum of American Art, which is the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States, the Museum presents the full range of twentieth century and contemporary

American art, with a special focus on works by living artists. I am sure everyone who visits and lives in the city will have a story to tell. Since 1851, The New York Times has been reporting stories. The New York Times is dedicated to helping people understand the world through on-the-ground, expert and deeply reported independent journalism. The New York Times Building is a skyscraper at 620 Eighth Avenue, on the west side of Midtown Manhattan.

This painting was from a quick sketch outside the 8th-floor cafe at the Whitney Museum, which has refined seasonal dishes, a patio and city views. Definitely worth a visit. The Whitney Museum of American Art is the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the Museum and presents the full range of twentieth-century and contemporary American art, with a special focus on works by living artists. Designed by architect Renzo Piano, the Whitney’s building in

the Meatpacking District includes approximately 50,000 square feet of indoor galleries and 13,000 square feet of outdoor exhibition space and terraces facing the High Line. An expansive gallery for special exhibitions is approximately 18,000 square feet in area, making it the largest column-free museum gallery in New York City. Additional exhibition space includes a lobby gallery (accessible free of charge), two floors for the permanent collection and a special exhibitions gallery on the top floor. At its core are Museum

founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s personal holdings, totalling some six hundred works when the Museum opened in 1931. These works served as the basis for the founding collection, which Mrs. Whitney continued to add to throughout her lifetime. The founding collection reflects Mrs. Whitney’s ardent support of living American artists of the time, particularly younger or emerging ones, including Edward Hopper.

JORDANA RAE GASSNER Artwork by this artist ranges between £2,500 - £5,500. Please contact the artist directly, or Artist Talk for more information.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF JORDANA ARTWORK IN THIS ARTICLE HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY TOBIAS BÜTTNER

This piece to the left is a throwback to pocket watches. Or is it a pendulum swinging...? Are things often “just a phase”, and “this too will pass”?” Or is this an ethereal reality of repetitive jumping through hoops…. we just think might, this time, be different? Maybe it is a colored cousin of the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. The rabbit leading us to a Mad Hatteresque 2020 of “stand there”, no, “stand OVER THERE”, “no not two masks, three masks and one on your elbow!” The rules changed randomly and often. How deeply can we get (in our understanding, in life, in the bizarre) if one takes a moment to take a look? How different could it be to one’s own and/or collective unconsicous (Jungian prose)? I like to look at the depths, find the structure behind the eye-catching front page... and not be afraid of the shadow. Jordana Rae Gassner was born in the year of the dragon, 1976, in the Black Hills, SD, USA. She began working at age 14 within the fashion industry which helped to influence her later decision to direct her own creative arts endeavors. Her later experiences working at her family’s gallery

and picture framing business before beginning studies in Psychology, Literature and Philosophy, helped to refine her focus towards 2 dimensional paintings and small sculpture. She obtained her Bachelors of Arts in 1999. Mostly, her art practice was confined to watercolor and acrylic painting until 2005 when she and her small family moved to Seattle, WA. There, she was able to re-commence learning to paint with oil painting materials. In 2007, she again relocated, this time to Regensburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Ironically, the overwhelming “European-ness” of her new home had her yearning to create artworks reminiscent of her abstract expressionist fore-fathers and mothers in America. The scent of lavender is what catches some people off-guard. As I take the Cerulean Blue and a hitch of White, I prepare to paint part of an expansive sky. Using my palette knife on a glass palette to combine them, before my brush hits the canvas, it detours to a small metal container containing an aid to consistency or dry time. Having learned the best mediums for my uses are the ones I personally mix, most of the

ingredients are ones that’ve been used by artists for a long, long time.

SET YOUR SIGHS

When my landscape has completed, space view, or earth view, I’ll cover it over. I’ll take a very wide brush, or mix a few different colors shaken together in a glass jar, including a slightly different dose of medium, and what some would say “destroy” the first endeavor of paint on a canvas. Landscapes and cosmic views are easy to me, they are a known, always more to be discovered, but I want to dig even deeper. If I begin with a “space-y” view, with stars and constellations, I’ll move forward towards an earth view as the last layers. When my first layers begin with an earth landscape view, regardless of abstracted-ness, I’ll end with something many of us cannot directly identify.

DELIVERY

$§()

Working through micro to macro variations, looking for synthesis in experience within what to me is a dualistic universe, I endeavor to discover that etheric something that brings life together. A pronged scraper brush helps separate out tendrils of paint and a sponge helps create more surface texture in another area. Sometimes my canvases are rolled onto one another, face to face, sharing their experience. It’s like people

meeting one another... we all make an impact, even if it’s a brief interaction. And like people, my works have what some might call “perceived imperfections” and my realized idea is to show that that, too, can be beautiful. Wrinkling, blistering, scraping off otherwise completed areas, yellowing and other ways of “misusing” Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Orange and all the rest, is what brings my idea forward.

Listening, to my breathing, my heart, all the while molding with hands and tools, I work at deciphering fallibility and shortcomings of personal experience or those related by others, into a neutral compassionate witness.

JUMP START

For an arc of paint there, a brightness, I create a dark, contrasting mark. Juxtaposed dark and light, same but different; my subconscious always looking for an

equilibrium or transcendence to the image being formed. DISCOVER MORE www.jordanarae.com Instagram: @jordana.rae.studio

KOMAL SAXENA Artwork by this artist ranges between £350 - £3,000. Please contact the artist directly, or Artist Talk for more information.

I am a Vancouver based artist who specializes in fusion dot mandala art but I am also experimenting with other styles. Finding things that others toss aside is where the game starts for me. I love to challenge myself and work with artwork that requires immense patience, time and which is entirely unique. For me creating art is about being able to feel free and spontaneous. I believe the artist’s hand lives on in the things that it has created. We lead with our hands, into people, new objects and places. I have always loved the idea of how things speak. The teapot can say -” Hello, please hold me this way”. To touch an art at an art gallery is a way of feeling the love of the artist. And to hold a brush in the hand is a way for expressing the light and energy of creating something new, something beautiful. My goal is to convey peace and grace to my viewers, offering a moment of pause and the feeling of deep belonging. “ Stop, take a pause, look, admire, accept and cherish… with patience.” ARTIST’S TRIVIA Favorite Acrylic Color: Neon Blue & Metallic Gold Guilty Pleasure: Singing at the top of my voice while my husband works ;) Most Inspiring Trip: Maldives & Road trip through Columbia Icefield Parkway Likes: Cheese, The beach and Summer Dislikes: Cold Weather and Seafood My art is usually inspired by “Life” and all the hidden meanings that our life has to offer.

that because of our impatience we don’t fully appreciate the joy and beauty of watching it unfold. Colors, textures, light, and the glow of an art is what talks to me as an artist. True beauty springs from the heart and dwells in the eyes. People often say eyes represent the focus of your life and what you are seeking. My artwork may look simple and very easy to recreate, but there is a lot going on in each of my pieces. It takes time, patience, structure, discipline, and a lot of composure to finalize the designs and the colors. Blue Moon This is a really different artwork from what I usually am used to. I started with an abstract flow of Blue and created a beautiful background from my front piece. After the background was ready, I chose “White” to be my main player. What I wanted to achieve through this piece was that, - I wanted it to blend two contrasting colors and create a master look.

The background is a flowy inscription for the forefront of this piece. The white mandala feels more like a blanket structure that is protecting the entire pieces. The most difficult part of creating this piece was the balance that needed to be maintained between all the shades of blue so that it doesn’t overpower or underpower the White. The texture of the colors that you see on this piece are kept because I did not want to create a smooth looking artwork. I wanted it to feel rough and bumpy at some places, but in spite of that the overall look from a distance is amazing to my pretty little brain. I hope you enjoy this piece and think about the flow of blues some day.

Colorful Galaxy Since the first time I saw this art form, I have always loved the colourful mandalas painted in the temples, walls, textiles and sometimes inner ceilings. Someone once told me that Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. This art form symbolizes the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected. The decision of choosing this design was particularly because I wanted something bright and capturing for your walls. I went with the theme of infinite Galaxy and chose it to be colorful, because - Hey! What is life without a little colorful glow? The beauty of this mandala is that it absorbs all your attention into the designs and the color structure makes your eye smile.. For me, this mandala design is associated with unlocking infinite opportunities and a mindful lifestyle. It is the ground for wisdom and freedom and of compassion and love and health and some colorful bliss. I hope this piece makes your wall smile a little louder.

This art is a complete and apt Long story short, here, we have a description of our life. The center canvas art that uses a lot of greens is more like our childhood - when and a little yellow but because it is everything was beautiful and supposed to be an art, we also have a splash of gold leaves. This abstract structured and carefree. As we grow up and as this art advances talks to me because of the perfect - the chaos of our life brings in blend of colors that do not appear little jitters, some pleasant, some to be out of proportion even a bit unpleasant. And as we grow older, to my artistic eyes. we learn how to let them flow and grow on their own. This artwork does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction The patterns on this art did not use of a visual reality but instead uses any measurements or calculated colours, and gestural marks to draws. The flowing leaves are all achieve its effect. I hope you enjoy free hand yet they seem to be this piece as much as I enjoyed inline with each other.

For me, it represents Wholeness and the most basic structure of life. Life is a circle of happiness and sadness, hard times and good times. My idea was to calm and support my peace within. It was a healing journey after a major life changing event. The circular, aesthetic patterns helped me align my inner world with the outside. It was particularly exciting and fulfilling to work on this as the entire journey inspired my mindfulness.

OCEANS’ BLUE

Oceans’ Blue I saw this style somewhere on the internet and it instantly spoke to me. The best thing about this art is that this is structured and random at the same time. I wanted to depict our life’s fluidity in the form of ocean waves - where we are expected to not plan, not to structure and follow no pattern but instead we are expected to just flow , go with the flow and spread our colors around. The other side of the art, however,

insists on following a pattern, having things in order so that we have some room to balance our random flows. The splashes of blue symbolises our serene, calm self, moving peacefully through the depths. The overall art indicated how well the balance is maintained both in the art and our personal lives. I hope this piece smiles at you as it smiles at me, makes your eyes sparkle for a little bit and spreads calmness around you. Enjoy a little different but beautiful artwork.

While working on this piece, I was forced to think about how the Gold makes us glow and the White makes us Human. According to me, this is an artwork that welcomes everyone and is respectful enough to bring joy anywhere it is placed. Because of the overall aesthetics of this piece, I worked hard on making this very fine piece PERFECT. A little effort to bring something pretty for your beautiful Wall.

THE SINGLE SILHOUETTE

Can you imagine how it would feel to turn off your analytical brain and react to life completely from the present moment? This was a particular desire for the Abstract Expressionists in 1940s America when painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning decided to eschew traditional and historical artmaking in lieu of a bold new genre called Abstract Expressionism. These artists aspired to move away from representational works based on ideas or subjects, and instead, to paint spontaneously, allowing a free realm for their feelings to find outlet through color, gestural brushstrokes, and mark making. Fast forward to 2021, and Cecile Lobert is unassumingly evolving the genre in a fashion that is of the utmost purity, and unique.

sole vehicles of communication. Unfiltered and raw, her paintings materialize whenever the mood strikes her. A blast of orange scraped across fresh white after emerging from a hot bath. A compilation of geographically accurate hues dance across nostalgically remembered symbolic landscapes, dotted with gold after she discovers a travel brochure depicting a place she spent her early childhood. Another series arises during the recent pandemic quarantine that the most astute psychologist might bravely describe as an externalization of emotions deriving from the unexpectedly imposed societal restrictions merged with the artist’s inborn physiological limitations. In other words, hers is a psyche laid bare.

Cecile was diagnosed with autism at the age of three and has been living in her own nonverbal, neurodiverse world for the past twenty-nine years. She doesn’t operate in the normative creative sphere where artists garner a message meaningful to them personally, strategize that message’s articulation, and then bring it to fruition through material and medium. For Cecile, brush, tools, canvas, and paint are her

In fact, Cecile offers us bare consciousness at its most primal form. Her work, compelled from within, arrives at random, a poignant snapshot of individual moments experienced existentially by a woman locked inside her physical shell—a soul aching to sing. An alternative existence striving for documentation, but not at the bequest of the artist per se, more so, the organic thriving artistic impetus of life throbbing

LOBERT COMPOSING THE SINGLE SILHOUETTE

to be recognized. Her idiosyncratic impressions manifested for further reflection by those for whom neurotypical existence is taken for granted, those who may also enjoy turning off their mental chatter to stand still before a work of art, and simply feel. In this regard, Cecile Lobert epitomizes the spirit of Abstract Expressionism, progressing it toward a contemporary lexicon, because she brings to the field an utter lack of premeditated thought from within her own private, silent, and complex space. In fact, her neurodiversity and Abstract Expressionism are a match made in heaven. Lobert’s work reminds us that the spark of life is constant, yet also fleeting and fragile. Precious yet unpretentious simultaneously when one innocently, and naturally, is consistently called to authentically turn themselves inside out on a perpetual basis. And in a way that is as essential and elemental as breathing. DISCOVER MORE www.cecilelobert.com Instagram: @iamcecilelobert

Erick Mota, Concrete Jungle - In ‘Concrete Jungle,’ I set out to capture the juxtaposition between nature and progress. While the scene looks serene -almost static - the warm tones of the sky, punctuated by the tall masculine shapes of the skyscrapers, lend the viewer some insight into the inner heart of the city. Even in peaceful scenes, this is a place of work, of struggle, the infinite battle between natural elements (the sky and water) and man’s progression towards civilization (the concrete materials and the ferry, which conquered the river).

I have tried to capture my glimpses of a perfect planet in a series of Mother Earth images, to show her infinite and pure charm and to remind us of the lost paradise we were originally meant to create - expressing her beauty and grace in flowers and ocean-like watery patterns and using them like a kind of language she herself has created.

Going beyond a mere likeness, Aliote looks to the emotions, attitudes, intentions, and moods of the individuals he chooses to depict in an attempt to evoke the spirit and soul of the individual upon the canvas. Monel often strive for exact visual likenesses. However, exact replication is not always the goal.

Roger Rowley, Untitled, 2021 - Using the human form as a motif, my work explores the concept of

ephemerality through presence of absence, memories (that are often distorted) and identity. Untitled (2021) portrays a period of self-reflection and exploration of liminal identity post retirement, compounded by being locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was produced with charcoal powder and reductive drawing techniques using putty rubber and dry paint brushes. A fixative was applied to build layers to create depth and subtle variations of tone. It deploys a language of blurred and delineated marks to convey a sense ambiguity between the past and present, where memory links moments in a fluid and enduring chain of self-identities.

Lamees Farooq, The Masjid - Every person has a specific place he or she holds special. I wanted to share a place where I find comfort. Our Community Mosque, which is significant in Islam because it is where Muslims kneel themselves before their Creator, pray to Him, and seek for guidance. Muslims regularly pray at mosques; a place they can find inner peace and sacredness. This mosque is one of the most famous ones in Dubai. The Jumeirah Mosque is one of Dubai’s most treasured architectural gem. Living nearby, I have grown up seeing this mosque almost every day. With Covid restrictions, prayers at the mosque were initially halted and now restricted. It has made us search within ourselves to find comfort in prayers at home.

Peyton, The Artist, Memory Lane - Memory Lane is a 5’ x 8’ painting on canvas composed of oil, acrylic, spray paint, pigments, and 23k gold foil sourced from Venice, Italy. The intention behind this painting was to highlight Los Angeles, California’s most legendary, historical Black landmarks while recreating the nostalgic atmosphere of the city’s regal Black community during the 1940s and 1960s; aka the Golden Ages of Los Angeles. The overall tone exudes financial wealth, cultural pride, unity, and power all depicted through classic cars, proud afros, well-tailored apparel, and harmonious energy. The culmination of these unique styles, characteristics, and mindsets are strategically brought together in what Peyton calls, “Memory Lane.” Discover More - www.peytontheartist.com / Instagram: @peytontheartist Artwork by this artist ranges between £500 - £14,500.

Carol Foulger, View From the Southbank - I have always been fascinated with the mix of classic and modern

buildings in our glorious capital city. I like the way they sit well together and seem to compliment one another. There are always cranes seen in any London scene and for me they are an instant representation of the forever changing, energised Skyline. I can find no better place to show this than the view from the Southbank. Discover More - www.carolfoulger.com / Instagram: @carolf.artist Artwork by this artist ranges between £80 - £500.

Kristin Ducharme, Portrait of a House - Was created after visiting my extended family this past Thanksgiving. One afternoon I drove my kids to see my grandparents home in Massachusetts. My memories of this house from childhood are like polaroid snapshots; crystal globe doorknobs, hard candy dishes on every table, red carpeted stairs curling their way up to the second floor, linoleum kitchen floors, a light pull in the shape of a traffic light, cigarettes and ashtrays, and visits to the local diner for grilled cheeses and ice cream sundaes. My grandparents haven’t been with us for many years now, and much time has passed, we are all grown now. And though there are new occupants inside the house, the colors are the same as the memories imprinted.

Tarunima Sen, The Chaos in Festivities - Indians from virtually every walk of life exhibit enthusiasm and

solidarity during festivals. Durga puja is celebrated widely in Kolkata, the streets are crowded with people of all faiths and colors. Photography is a joy in the city amid the hive of activity. At a busy street Chaltabagan , I captured the love people have for Durga Puja. In this moment, I was most drawn to the exuberance, chaos, and cheerfulness people displayed. “Despite all the chaos, people seemed so at ease and content”. To represent the calm in the midst of the organized chaos of one of Kolkata’s most celebrated streets, I used black and white treatment. In 2018, I shot “The Chaos in Festivities.” Discover More - www.tarunimasen.myportfolio.com/street-collective / Instagram: @taroonima_sen

Tina Bullen, The Legendary Coda (Fine line marker on watercolour paper, A4) - Drawn November 2021, this

image depicts the Colchester bar, Coda, on a Saturday afternoon. The Acoustic Showcase is playing, and the audience are listening. The many men of Coda come in all shapes, sizes and ages, and all are enjoying the great atmosphere together; this special moment in time. The shading and lines reflect the feeling of being in a very wonky old bar where everything, including the clientele, is on an angle.

Paelo Saddler, Unsong Opera - This shot was taken in November 2013 just after 4pm. A wintery dusk was dawning. I happened to be in the Royal Opera House at the time on a photography assignment for a friend whose team was holding an event there. Outside on the veranda which faces behind the building is a fantastic view of Covent Garden square. Amidst shopping and dining, spectating and selfie taking the most attractive thing was actually the place itself. The people, the sky, the colours; it all coalesced into what I thought was a compelling shot. A shot which, due to perspective and entry, most can’t view. The best performance there, and most in attendance wouldn’t see it.

Sumaira Isaacs, The Pandemic Love - My painting is an ode to the bizarre pandemic (covid 19), chronicling the loves and lives of many others, separated couples, and families. As result, of experiencing firsthand almost a year-long separation from my husband, reunited only recently. Living apart in two worlds, trying to deal with ‘new-normal’ – as family, friends try to reassure -hold you together. The upheaval of the virus acts as a backdrop, a constant reminder of the fragility of the world we live in: Apart. It’s erratic strokes, documents and captures the chaotic feeds, that constitute long-distance intimacy in the digital era: video calls, text chats, emojis, filters photos by the thousands, as we move from one season to another, picking on silver linings.

Antonia Maria, Frozen Layers - At first look you can see elements that describe a frozen painting both by brush and by the color palette used suggesting a cold and oppressive atmosphere. The central part represents the center of interest of the work, marked by floes which seem to leak, creates the impression of instance stillness, constituting a decoration wrapped in frozen ice caps. The work presents the feeling of anguish and the thrills of a deep space shaped by ice shapes that make up a cold, numb and frosted contrast. My style is abstract, I can say that it represents me as an artist and I find myself easily, as a way of expressing ideas and thoughts.

Kristianna Gasparjan, Recognize Artsakh - Have you been to a place where you feel a divine presence? Where you are connected to your ancestors just by touching the ground? Where you feel a love for land that runs deep? A love that doesn’t understand time, distance or borders. A land that knows ethnic cleaning, colonial settlers and genocide all too well. Can they give away land that is not theirs to give? Exploitation of land and hatred for the indigenous is how to spot the oppressor. It’s clear what they’re most afraid of: Truth. From the Armenian castle hidden in Lake Van, to the Amaras monastery to Tatik and Papik – they cannot unwrite what has already been written.

Atelier Dédé / Danté-Danýel, Drowned World / Maps of Tomorrow XII - “Maps of tomorrow” is a cycle that tells the story of my enslaved ancestors who were taken to the Caribbean, to Brazil and Louisiana. These pieces are meant to be seen as topographic maps. Maps of an unknown world, a uncertain future full of foreign countries, coasts and bodies of water. These enslaved Africans had no idea where they were taken after they had been bought, sold and kidnapped, these men, women and children did not know if they would survive this journey and what was waiting for them at its destination. For them these unknown waters, shores and land masses where terrifying and mythical places, inhabited by devils, demons and ghosts.

Olga Goldina Hirsch, The First Snow - The subject “city” is very personal to me. This is my space in my drawings and it has my thoughts, my memory, my imagination, my story, my philosophy and my personality. This is why I repeat the image of my native city Moscow and its citizens again and again, my favourite wintertime, the first snow, dark windows, and my long term own experience with making ‘white on white’. My city is subjective, full of colours and childhood memories, symbolic and where the “mind goes away”.

Lee Joon-young, Sound of hope Garden of language - We open the box of pain in our hearts because of scars that cannot be seen with the naked eye and start to pile up one by one. People who do not even have the strength to endure pain end up avoiding everything and forgetting to comfort themselves. Seeing the color that expresses himself, he begins to walk endlessly between the remaining hopes like a small flame. He began to feel his heart beating more and more, and he finally reached their sanctuary. I didn’t even think that the place I met for the first time was unfamiliar. Because it was a happiness I couldn’t feel in reality. Discover More - Instagram: @illusion_night_joon

Alice Gur-Arie, The Three Believers - My passion - and the focus of my practice - is landscapes, seascapes,

Nature and wildlife, but sometimes a face so captivates me, I am compelled to photograph it and create a world that exists solely to give it context. In this artwork, from France, I imagined these three as “believers,” united in contemplative harmony. This portrait combines photography and painting. My creative process treats a photograph as the canvas, so I have interpreted these faces as I repainted them by hand digitally, making each recognisably different. Viewers are invited to ponder who they are, where they are, why they are together, and what they are thinking - dreaming…?

Alessandro Villanucci, a relaxing break / the meeting in the afternoon / you go down alone - My interest in photography began with my father’s legendary “Voigtlander”. With time and passion I have refined my style by developing a spontaneous predilection for architecture, landscapes and the animal world. I currently use a Canon EOS 700D and an IPhone 12Pro. I am a great observer of reality, but I like the more hidden sides that normally escape if we do not pay attention to them. I also find inspiration in trivial things that I like to give dignity by changing perspective or point of view.

Ann Lebron, Re-Nao - A fun lively place with a fun and inviting vibe that makes you want to be there!

Ann Lebron- It’s the every day hustle and bustle of life at Grand Central Station, the question is “Where will your life lead you today?” My mind thinks where is everyone going? As you sit and watch people you realize there are many stories to be told all in one place. This piece is on a 12 x 12 tile using alcohol ink and up cycled newspapers and magazines with the incorporation of a photograph that I took at Grand Central Station.

Claire Maen, Discussion With A View (Film Captured Photography) - In this Rolleiflex series made on Twin Peaks, in San Francisco, I did not photograph the place, but the relation people had with the place. Train of thoughts flying over the San Francisco bay. Selfies. Conversations with a view. I was especially intrigued by this group of young men gathering over the city, away from screens. Has the view changed the nature of their conversation? As a French photographer living in California, I try to capture the poetic beauty of postindustrial, commercial, and natural landscapes with my 1951 Rolleiflex film camera. Despite our world turning digital, I believe in the power and beauty of film photography, and its delicate colors.

Renato Di Maggio Rodrigues, Quando vidi Roma - The realization of my work is based primarily on the search for shades of color that reflect Rome. Colors that reflect the past, colors that reflect the present. In all this enters the medium of photography, a photograph that knows of timelessness, infinity and eternity! Aeternum... eternity. As the city of Rome is defined, I am creating a true dialogue between photography and painting and confirming my sense of place. Reflecting the atmosphere defined and lives of the coexistence of the greatness, of size, of role, of history, and of spaces and situations on the scale of the individuals.

Brian Mark, Ecoscape - “Ecoscape” is an interdisciplinary work for music and video installation, which is my very own artistic vision of the future for planet Earth, pertaining to the theme of an Ecosystem. This work is a beautiful collage of video footages that include landscapes, marine life, technological/scientific advancements, transportation of the future, new ideas for medical research, environmental efficiency for new homes and contemporary architecture, innovative educational platforms, global markets, with visuals of sea animals, the wildlife, human interaction, social activism, etc. My very own “Ecoscape” does not attempt to portray an idealized utopia; rather it still addresses our current contemporary issues.

Catarina Diaz, Fire - The work “Fire” is a statement of an empowered woman who challenges us with a glance

over her shoulder, presenting herself in a golden “dress-armour” covering her prominent breasts. She wears bold make-up that contrasts with her dark, glowing skin tone. Her accessories are natural: a vibrant bluebird hanging from her ear to her shoulder like a long earring. The conventional hat gives way to a sumptuous lifelike ‘crown’ of petals. Everything in this woman is an affirmation. It is an internal and true fire that will not give space nor time to constructed masks. Only to the essence.

Catarina Diaz, Mellifluous - “Mellifluous” belongs to the series “Wild Cities”, a body of work produced in 2020,

where compositions of urban landscapes are transformed into disconcerting places populated by animals and exotic situations. The whole composition and the singular perspective of the work lead the viewer’s gaze to a young girl dressed in vibrant yellow, suggesting a “portal” between the wildlife - the exotic fauna of fluorescent colours - and a third plane - the black and white of a London setting. The female figure seems to “melt” between these two worlds in her tentacular position, fulfilling our secret wish to touch different times and spaces.

Donna Borg, Between Me and Myself, This drawing was inspired by that moment when I remove the fog from the mirror after having a shower and see my face revealing itself to me in its most natural state. This mundane action is always a bit of a revelation to me and a moment which makes me reflect on who I am, how I see myself and what’s currently happening in my life. The hand between myself and my reflection in the mirror is a representation of wanting to reach out and comfort myself, but at the same time it’s also a symbol how I sometimes self-sabotage and put a barrier between me and myself.

LOUMA, Mon espace - In this painting, I wanted to represent a character, who was not in his daily space. A present certainly reassuring (choice of colors), but a present that is not the one relived by the character. The place is an allegory of the present time and of the daily life in which the character is not in his place. I’m talking about an inner universe that is inadequate to the outer reality. However, the character, may consider an outward flight. Discover More - Instagram: @marialourdesbabasasa Please contact the artist directly, or Artist Talk for more information.

RocaVaron, Sous la lune á Port Berenice - “Sous la lune á Port Berenice” is an expressionist representation of the loss of infant innocence. The child-turned adult woman runs defiantly across a starry beach on the Red Sea, under the guardian sight of her dog, which symbolises how society limits our freedom and demands stereotypes. Using a mix technique of goauche paint and dripping acrylics on canvas, my work is largely abstract expressionist. Regardless of the style, for me, art is a gateway to satisfy a primal hunger for creative expression, where a canvas becomes an open experimental laboratory, giving the freedom to create inner visions.

Ava Chiba, Amelie - The artwork “Amelie” is more than a portrait. It’s a sacred language and activation code

for personality. Not trying to show the obvious and feeding the mind with information I am doing portraits in a kind of language based on floral formations, geometric pattern and color codes. My artworks are grounded on subtile perception and remote viewing. “Amelie” for example is a strong personality with a delicate and sensitive nature, but based on natural power and authority. Being nurtured by the forces of love and nature, she has the potential to develop a new state of consciousness in this life: full of grace, transcendence and compassion.

I started out my walk stressed and pre-occupied and this view of a beautiful, orangey-pink moon stopped me in my tracks. It helped me to stop, breathe and be thankful. It shows a residential street in South-East London at dusk, the glowing embers of the moon shimmering through the trees and streetlights shining on the resting cars. I chose oil-pastel as the medium for this piece to capture some of the life and energy of the moment. As an artist I love to capture fleeting, temporal moments in art form.

Maria Lopes, Whisper - Hellen Frankenthaler said, “There are no rules. That is how art is born, how

breakthroughs happen.”. These words kept humming in my head like a whisper. By then, I just had a Thanksgiving dinner with 25 people, 15 nationalities, celebrating different cultures, and simply being thankful. This brought to life the topic of differences and their importance in our lives, nature and art. With this work I want to express differences/diversity by color, shapes, value and texture, through the lens of my surrounding nature, the National Park of Sintra/Cascais. Differences make us grow and thrive spirituality. Discover More - Instagram: @marialopes.art Artwork by this artist ranges between £220 - £650.

PARUL MEHRA, Maps & Mystique of the ancient city - In this artwork I’ve tried to capture the elements which contribute to the essence of Singapore, where I currently reside. Having recently moved here, I was intrigued to see how the balance of vintage architecture, modern landscapes, temples & nature parks co-exist with fine aesthetic of new age city systems. The mythical fable of it’s name origin started in the 14th century. Attributed to a Sumatran prince, who spotted an auspicious beast, thought to be a lion. Hence the name Singapore originated from “Singa” for lion & “Pura” for city, in the Sanskrit language.

Adrianne Font’aura, pied-à-terre - This work belongs to a series called “nowhere is somewhere”. My watercolours are about those places found when we are lost and lost when and if we look for them. Places we capture as a glimpse from our childhood’s memory as we get older and life gets too fast, too complex, too fragile and everything seems to fade. Except that. That one place long time gone and yet the only place we can find shelter and comfort. Home.

Teresa Selbee Baker, Remember - This piece is made of many layers, it begins with old photographs from my childhood rephotographed and digitally arranged. The collages are then projected onto an Eight foot tree swing sculpture I built, based on a loved place from when I was a child, then photographed with 35mm film. The building of layers in this piece forms the idea of moments and flashes of time, coming together creating our version of history. This photograph is part of a series studying the differences in memory. The study of memories and dreams influence all of my work. ‘Remember’ looks at what we store as memories versus what we “capture” as memories.

Gaia Adducchio, Polaroid Blooming - Untitled n°29 - By adopting typical techniques of abstract painting to

instant photography (specifically a re-elaboration of grattage skills by scrapping emulsion on polaroid support) and by working with analog and digital means, I intended to realize images that allow, both during the creative process and the act of fruition, to let oneself go to unconscious and potentially liberating automatisms. Immersive texture, forms and colors become synonymous of dynamism and at the same time of contemplation and abandonment of senses, in the hope that who is looking at the works can lose him - or herself not in mine, but in his/her unconscious, emotional and cultural references.

Kavita Chachcha, Let’s get some Lunch! - Lunch time in the Central Business District area was such an

everyday ritual for the working crowd. WFH has changed how the restaurant business operates.

Rachel Favelle, Lavender Thistles, Oil on Linen 30 x 40 inches - My work is a celebration of Australia’s diverse flora and fauna, a pertinent subject in light of the 2019 bushfires. While I seek to capture a unique portrait of Australia, the lace that adorn the native animals in my work and invasive flora reflect a deeper metaphor about colonisation. There becomes a disparity between residing in a country and appreciating the unique natural qualities that this land possesses. While the Musk Thistle appears beautiful with its vibrant colour, it has become a serious invasive weed, a threat to protected plant communities. The plant is a metaphor for the effect of human interference in nature.

Christine Weber-Nolte, California Dreamin‘ - A place where I always want to be - on a sailing boat upon the

104

ocean. After a commission work with sailing boats I decided to work again with them. The ocean is all I need to feel warm and safe, although it can be adventurous. In my work it was my intention to have all together: the wind, the adventure of the ocean, the boats and a warm feeling. So I took these shades of red, certainly my favorite color, to show all the beauty and the excitement of sailing. A dream I have since ever. In Buddhism one has the idea, that being reborn as a precious human life is rarer then a blind seaturtle surfacing it’s head every hundred years would come out through a yoke. This is also my fascination of the almighty ocean. Discover More - https://artchriweno.com / Instagram: @chriweno

Nina Baxter, Can We Bridge This Chasm? (Parts I) + (Parts II) - “In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse” – From ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. This diptych invites the viewer to construct their own narrative around these two lovers. Does any space left between the two faces, two bodies, feel like a huge abyss needing to be filled by constant skin on skin contact? Is there an emotional gulf between these two people? A disconnect or rift they’re trying to repair through physical touch? The accompanying quote by T.S Eliot emphasises the potential split-second difference in time between these two moments, and the enormous possibility for change held in that same instant.

Jael Roznicki, Life Lessons - “Life Lessons” is from my quarantine series, May of 2020. This was created from

108

the patchwork of memories and emotions that life brings. My father was suddenly ill with heart failure and grateful survived, but I was face to face with the memories and Emotions of a lifetime all combined. Reflecting on how we are not static beings and how our lives are not all simple and in the lines and still seeing beauty in the patchwork of the whole. Not all aspects of life are good or even enjoyable but it all forms an individual, spirit and soul. That is what inspired this work. You will see the red heart at the Center and the lines that to me, bind it to those in our family. Discover More - Instagram: @jaelroznicki_art

Lena Silva, ‘SAUDADE’ (Portuguese word, translated - a feeling of missing ...) - ‘Her hands held me in

the gentlest way from my first breath. Her hands held me close to her with the greatest love as I took my first steps. Her hands brushed my hair and comforted me when I lost my balance or got hurt.’ My work is a sentimental, profound memory of a place I felt the safest growing up and becoming a woman I am today. That place, that person is - my MOTHER’s heart and hands. In a chaotic society where so much is taking place, where fast decisions are to be made, life is changing dramatically and human freedom is becoming farfetched. Missing places, people we love, be it physical or spiritual, is becoming the ‘air’ we need to breathe and stay alive.

Émilie Gosselin, Boreal - As far as I can remember I have loved the arts and colors, I am a Franco-Canadian artist who stands out for her custom-made creations according to the tastes and decor of her clients. I started my artistic activities more seriously in March 2020 with the arrival of the pandemic. “Boréal is colorful, vibrant and sparkling, with gold leaf and lots of texture. She knows how to release heat into the room. The artist also loves incorporating epoxy resin into her artwork, she finds it adds depth to the product.

Katie Dean, Boxed - Pigeonhole, Typecast, Profile… it is a struggle to reinvent yourself when you become a

prisoner of boxed-in perceptions of self and other. How can we end this cycle in order to break the chains of internally or externally perceived ideas of what is “good” and “bad” in order to show up in the world to share our most precious gifts? I’ve been caught in a vicious cycle of seeking validation from others, hoping this will cure my feelings of unworthiness. Today I seek a new way.

many years of the Pashtuns alongside the threat of the Taliban. The three men reflect the sense of worry pain a certain reflection on their faces. I painted the backdrop a light sand gold as an idea of hope in the desert sands. White robes and Mazarin wraps on their heads I painted lighter with colors somewhat see-through swirls to signify eternal hope.

Beatrice Opokua Atencah, We Mourn the Lands - The lands in the major mining regions in Ghana that served as the producers have overtime lost the primary activities such as farming and providing shelter to illegal mining activities that there’s none left to preserve. Livestock are dying, streams and rivers polluted and unsafe for animals, and people are still struggling to find shelter. The people are angry, authorities are putting in measures, the privileged are protecting the few they have yet “We mourn the lands” The artwork expresses our attitude towards valuable things. Things we take for granted because it’s of less value or it’s easily accessible. It’s often said “we do not know what we have until we lose it”and that’s the life of an immigrant.

Christoffer Nilsson (pen name Mr Fraxley), Overdrive: Psychosis - This piece represents my recent psychosis

where I crashed through my own cognitive wall after getting wrongly medicated and ended up in both a new physical place in form of a psych ward but also a new cognitive place of mind. I’ve feared psychosis all my life but this space that used to be my greatest fear has now helped me overcome my fear of my own mind and turned it into a place of inspiration rather than anxiety and depression.

Nicola Barth, Lilli Adam Nin - When everything is loose and in constant movement, everything reacts with everything else, everything finds itself constantly in a process, there is nothing really finished, and when time and space are only fixed ideas, then deception and change are confusion and chance. This thoughts can sometimes make you dizzy. I paint against the dizziness, because “being one with” (resonate) is a way to resist the chaos. This thoughts, the fast pace in our society and the rapid digital progress demands a stop, a standstill, a contemplation to get behind. I remain to stopp and make visible. My analog answer is painting/making art.” Discover More - www.nicola-barth.de / Instagram: @nicola.barth

This place is not ordered and structured, but it is beautiful in a natural way. My artwork is also a result of a dynamic painting process free from any constraints, by following my inner intuition. I have found my form of expression in abstract painting and create my bold abstractions mainly with acrylics and pastels on canvas or paper. These means are ideal for my spontaneous painting style.

Hung-Ju Kan, Density Versus Emptiness-21-14 - Taiwanese artist Kan Hung-Ju. Kan embarks on a journey to retrieve personal memories and bring them to the surface in the context of relocation. In an effort to recall and cope with a major life transition, the artist questions how immigration affects the content of autobiographical memory. The painting featured in Density Versus Emptiness-21-14 is inhabited by the souvenir of personal experiences and traces of specific objects—the wallpaper of the artist’s first room and the fabric of his grandmother’s dress, among other domestic items embellished by floral motifs—often revisited with the arrival of a new season in the Northeast of US, Kan’s home for the last three years.

David Winston, Waterloo 15 secs - I am fascinated by the idea of recording the traces of the movement of people in crowded spaces. I work a lot with multiple exposure, as it frees the photographer from the limitations of a single static image. In this case, the commuters at Waterloo Station become transformed into dancers. Their unpredictable movements mean they directly contribute to the outcome of the final image, making them the actors in the story.

She is a construct of the shame and judgement that forms us from birth and sometimes before that. L’idiot is both everybody’s fool and nobody’s fool.

Medusa Black, Chimera X33 - Chimera X33 is a piece of art created with code and imagination. The generative art piece takes the name of the original mythological creature because it is originally a simple experiment (X33). Who could tell that algorithms (simple or complex) mixed with creativity could be any form of estheticism? The choice of the background brings a better visual to the pixels and visual comfort. Red is the perfect colour to illustrate the vibrance of the art. *The mix of black and red brings a sinister dark ambiance, and the curves bring a small sense of innocence & beauty. //For more technical details, the language used was javascript, a common language for front-end and back-end developers.

Rossanne Pellegrino, Landed - ‘Landed’ investigates how the manipulation of imagery can alter its meaning, changing the relationship between people and place. Adding digital shapes and glitter to this found photograph provides a sharp contrast from the subjects in the original image – black and white, formal and almost detective-like. The people and their surroundings, Stonehenge, have now taken on an out-of-this-world quality. Also inspired by the Yayoi Kusama quote, “I am just another dot in the world”, Rossanne uses this otherworldly sense of her image to convey a feeling of smallness and of being just one part in an infinitely bigger picture. She invites the observer to imagine what that could be. (Print is available for sale - £220).

Joana Felicissimo, Florence - The original photograph of this drawing was taken by me in Florence on my solo trip to Italy in 2018. It was a memorable trip that I took just before I started my Visual Arts Degree at ULHT in Lisbon, and I used it for a landscape project that I had to do in my first year. I’m much better at colour than graphite, so this was a big challenge for me, but I was really happy with the outcome. Florence is such a beautiful and lively city. This image of Ponte Vecchio has so many little details and was tedious work, but one that I secretly enjoy doing. This is a place that I would love to visit again one day, ideally in a covid-free world.
