Michelle Ockert is a visual artist from British Columbia, Canada, based in Lisboa, Portugal She creates analog collages using National Geographic magazines Having grown up in a valley encapsulated by surrounding mountains, Michelle developed a deep relationship with the natural world, seeing it as a reflection of the tides of emotion that crash within She translates, deconstructs, and philosophises this sacred yet confusing connection we develop with ourselves as we venture past the water's edge and into the depth of our subconscious Her collages reveal an intuitive knowing that what we seek outside must first be planted within; as our hands reach out for greater understanding, this innate bond is always there to illuminate more than the eye can see

Andrea Gangi's art captures a range of subjects, from birthday celebrations and groups of children to tropical scenes and swimming pools. Gangi's work delves into the metaphysical realm of reality, creating a sacred space, a crypt where viewers can sense the essence of things and the skin of characters. Drawing inspiration from life, movies and literature, Gangi's art explores the decadence of existence and the ephemeral nature of memories and dreams The figures often take on a strange, almost monstrous quality, impregnating his art with a sense of unease and horror The otherworldly quality of Gangi's work creates a parallel reality that upsets and disturbs us Each brushstroke creates a unique world, inviting viewers to explore the artist’s vivid imagination
