JACUBE RYBIŃSKA @jacube_rybinska
Jacube Rybinska is a Polish painter born in 1985 in Toruń. Currently based in Warsaw. She is a clinical psychologist by education. Artist creates surreal paintings mostly in acrylic technique. Dreamy phenomena, psychological portraits and dreams inscribed in phantasmagoric reality are the main theme of Jacube’s painting.The world presented is made of fragments, separated cells, filled with patches of pure, strong colors and small figural representations, which harmoniously complement each other to form an extremely coherent whole. Artist statement:I trust my intuition and I am curious of what is happening beyond our mind. My inspirations are often dreams and supernatural reality. I stimulate my feelings with my senses and build a kind of bridge between me and the invisible. These undefined influences are arranged in a network of peculiar connections, symbols and meanings, which I then organize and force into the frames of a careful composition, creating “Order Chaos”. I would like to encourage the viewer to go deeper and take up a peculiar visual game that will stimulate his imagination, memories and move specific emotions. I am fascinated by what I am doing and the reaction I will get. It is a wonderful and unpredictable experience for me.

VERA MOISE @veramoiseart
My name is Vera Moise, I'm an independent artist, emerging abstract painter, navigating my messy emotions through colors. I'm interested in how society and everyday life is affecting my emotional well-being. The canvas is like a portal to my inner self that I'm trying to decipher, the result is my visual struggle.

RASTKO VIDOVIĆ @latexeyelid Rastko Vidović is a visual artist born in 1988 in Belgrade, and is also currently residing there. He prefers not to further explain his work through words,primarily out of respect for the spectator because divulging into theory often robs people of their own conclusions. Visual language is just that: a language in itself.

CHRISTINA CHATZIMICHAILIDOU
Christina Chatzimichailidou is in her 5th year of studies at the Department of Fine Arts & Arts Sciences of the University of Ioannina, Greece. Her thee-dimensional art works, modern or conceptual, emerge in various shapes, forms and textures. Marble, ceramic, resin, clay, plaster and recyclable materials are carved, modelled, moulded, combined and assembled to shape an "idea" and create a context within which the work is to be read. In a society which constantly grows and develops, the only way to adapt and to be able to evolve is to pose questions; to explore new worlds, find resources and build ideas and paths that would enable new connections between art and life.

BILGE UGURSU @artbabil1x1
Berlin-based surreal & abstract artist. Describes her style as figurative abstract expressionist and uses mostly mixed media in all her artworks. Developed her own concept, where she combines her classical paintings with digital art to create a smooth synthesis without rules and conceptualizations. Therefore, her artworks are quite experimental with a contemporary spirit. She aims people to feel her paintings rather than just seeing artistic patterns or aesthetics in them. Uses lots of psychological and scientific metaphors in her works as she has always been amazed by the intersection of art and science. Currently working on new pieces for her upcoming solo exhibition.

ELIZABETH CHERNYSHOVA @lizkanchek
Most of my artworks are based on my own feelings and impressions. My art reflects my hopes, dreams, personal contradictions, life experience, creative chaos. Objects and characters are often stylized, unsuitable for the reality, composition is distorted. It means I want to show another side of this world – the world of imperfection. I love to work with different color matches, experiment with textures and techniques. You can see it in my abstract works. It allows me to create not depending on a certain idea or image. I do not define my art by a certain genre or style. My art is a message I want to bring to this world, and I hope my message will be heard.

GÜLAY KAKŞİ OKAY @gulaykaksiokayart
Whole life formed out of little moments seems so small within the immense universe! On one side the life that gathers yesterday, today and tomorrow in a whole. On the other side is the individual who searches the meaning and secret of life between to be or not to be. When I am doing my paintings, I always see image as a universal language and use symbolism and mysticism as foundation. I tried to depict human existence in the miracle of life. These feelings, which turned into small details in my works, now leave the canvases where they were trapped and roam freely in the universe. I wish these small details bring you to whole when you see them.

LAYPANOVA FATIMA @laypanova__fd
Life is a series of struggles, which people overcoming day after day. I combine different scenes in my art works which give us an opportunity to think about sense of existence, encourages people to achieve successes. In my works I aspire to show a brilliance of paintings, that’s why I usually work in different styles. There are some different sources of inspiration to me: sceneries, traveling, lifestyle and human behavior which I can see every day. Before starting work I imagine all the scenes in my mind and I’m looking for concept of each elements which will be shown in paintings.

INDY CHONK @indy_cj
During the day I am a psychiatric nurse, and at night I morph into a deeply reflective artist. I am fortunate for both of these passions as I have the opportunity to fuse these interesting areas together. I love the deepness of the mind; we all have chambers of secrecy and unlocked potential. With my art, I am to show you the inner beauty of oneself, and how deeply one can go. There is a recurrent theme that is consistent throughout my works which is ‘The Faceless Man’. An individual without the features of a face i.e. nose, mouth, but with only headphones on. This is my primary focus, and what I believe to be an ongoing project of oneself. The headphones also play an integral part in my work as it represents not just listening and awareness through music, but to a wider context of listening and awareness through life itself .
