MEGAN JENTSCH @mecjayy
like the idea of integrating the use of technology in the process of creating, as we do in our everyday life. The black marks were made intuitively on the digital interface. Once transferred onto canvas they lay amongst a subconscious bed of gestural energy.

IMI SMITH @imi.artwork
Imi Smith is a Fine Artist from South London, currently studying a BA in Fine Art: Painting. Her paintings explore a range of thinking. Through bright, expressive, gestural layers, Imi creates visually stimulating forms that connect with various styles. Playing with texture and the use of oversaturated colours, there’s a real playfulness within the works. Figurative lines and painterly brushstrokes are ways Imi captures and constructs her subjects, with compositions that hold a real sense of movement. Her main focusses are portraiture, textural studies, and the odd everyday scene.

CAMILLE MARQUAND @gabriellamarquand
Before moving to Greece 18 years ago, I painted and exhibited in solo and group shows in Edinburgh,UK. My work is in public and private collections. I started painting in an abstract way 25 years ago but since I also love drawing, there had to be ways to incorporate that into an abstracted image. ‘Requiem for a Kingfisher’ is one such image, where the abstract surroundings become an analogy for a possibly threatening/threatened but also different environment. Caring deeply about environmental conservation, I find myself drawn to painting landscapes/scenarios with an ‘abstract’ voice. If passion is in colour then simplified form (abstraction) acts as the cool voice of reason

LAURA GARCIA MARTIN @lauragarciamartin_mafa
I am a Spanish/British artist based in Manchester. I have been living in England for the last 25 years. My work ranges from heavily painted canvases to collages and simpler, study-like illustrations and photography. I studied Fine Arts (BA Hons. in Seville, 1991-1995) and Illustration with Animation at Manchester Metropolitan University (2000-2003). I have been working and exhibiting since then, my illustrations have appeared in numerous art magazines and books published in the UK and Spain, though I focus mainly on painting. I have had works selected and shortlisted in numerous competitions at a national level, including Mall Galleries in London, 2014,2015 and the Royal Cambrian Academy in Conwy, 2014. I exhibited individually in Sheffield, Cupula art gallery (2015) and Manchester, Everyman Gallery (2012).

CHARLOTTE BUCKLER @cbucklerart
My practise is a chaotic mix between movement, energetic experimentation and visual aesthetics. Although all of my work contains underlying themes of space, surface and texture, I emphasise perception and viewer experience. I aim to include the viewer, making work that gives them space to think and feel independently through abstraction. Over lockdown my practise has been more restricted to painting, during this time I've started to explore painting as a therapeutic practise. The idea of art as a space to escape as a maker, as well as a viewer has been the driving force behind my paintings. I hope they provide space for empty thought and perception, so one can lose themselves in the picture plane.

KATE PELLEGRINI @pellegriniartworks
The painting features my sonnet ‘Leadership’ transcribed on the surface, comparing Trump and Thunberg’s styles of leading, one from the head through division and humiliation, the other from behind through love and empathy. All my new work is about the humanitarian and climate crisis; the writing represents the unheard voice.

MIOLINI @mio.lini
MIOLINI is an audiovisual artist and producer based in Stockholm and Berlin, currently studying music and sound design. The idea behind this project is to interconnect the visuals with the audio in a way that they together form a symbiosis. To explore and stretch the limits of diegetic/non diegetic sounds, mixing sounds that directly belong to something visual together with musical and atmospheric elements to create an artificial world. The “BERLIN”-series is also reflective of my time in the city. It's sort of an hommage to this wonderful and twisted community that keeps bringing me forward in life. BERLIN Part 2 is currently in the making.

ZEIKO DUKA @dukazeiko
The art of Zeiko Doka is evolving incessantly. The way artists visualize scenarios and depict it onto the canvas is changing. The use of colors is getting complex and the way thoughts are illustrated and getting even more intricate. Her masterful manipulation of light and dark and the fluidity of forms seem like a pictorial portrayal of music sonata. She depicts her dreams and imagination in a symphony of color palette, that burst out of the canvas or paper with the emotional force of the spring. She depicts semi-figurative human shapes in sensuous, flesh-toned circles. Her imagery is as mysterious and ephemeral as a dream. She blends dimensional planes in dramatic, sweeping movements, avoiding mundane detail and giving the neoclassical works a surreal quality. As the plot unfolds, the veneer is stripped away and the fundamental, basic truth is revealed to the viewer in a crescendo of free – flowing color.

HELGA BORBÁS
I am a hungarian painter, living and working in Vienna. I studied painting at the University of Pecs , and had around 80 exhibitions in various countries, including Hungary, Italy, France, Germany, UK, Polen, Austria, South Korea, Greece and Slovenia.My paintings are in different permanent exhibitions .Alessandro Berni Gallery is representing my paintings on Artsy.net : https://www.artsy.net/alessandro-berni-gallery/artist/helga-borbas https://www.works.io/helga-borbas My pictures are inner roads. Inner stage pictures – Imprints of pure emotional states. Nearly each of them is a separate character, single story in its own image-field, they are creatures existing in lurid situations. The bodies are twisting like a vortex, they are moving, and wrestling, blooming, decomposing, deteriorating, straining and softening, and they strain to the picture’s plane with an elemental power. This is a series about the vulnerability of the human existence, about life and death, about outburst and release.
