Introduction

The World Art Guide 2023 is proud to present 102 international artists, everyone with their own expression and their own story behind each artwork. But what connects them all besides their love for the art, is the urge to tell a story, to be a part of something larger than life. May it be a piece of art history or a community. In some cases, it is to not be a part anymore, but to be complete, a whole puzzle without jagged pieces, fulfilled.

In this first edition of the World Art Guide we have chosen artists and creators who either presents high quality or who we think have potential to develop as an artist in short term or long term. We have also chosen to present art which is a reflection of our time by accepting today as it is.

It’s my hope, that you as a gallery owner, art curator and art lover, will find that special artist who deserves to be shown in the public room and to you as a client to find an artist to invest in, either for your own personal use in your home or as a generating investment for the future.

Linus Cinnamoni Editor of World Art Guide

About The Editor

Linus Cinnamoni (b. 1982) discovered his love for art early in life when his second-grade teacher displayed his artwork at her desk for the entire classroom to see, recognizing its uniqueness. A few hours spent using the Paint software in the ‘90s seemed to have momentarily satisfied his longing for more. However, his passion reignited when he started a relationship with Gina Cinnamoni, who is now his beloved wife. From there, a new journey began!

Together, they managed Galleri Cinnamoni in the central parts of Helsingborg, Sweden. At the gallery, Linus Cinnamoni found inspiration from other artists to have fun and find courage in his own work. He discovered that artists such as Miró and Basquiat shared some similarities with his art, which gave Linus Cinnamoni the confidence to continue developing his own unique style.

Although there have only been a few physical exhibitions, his art was selected for a local juried exhibition by Marina Schiptjenko in 2021. Linus Cinnamoni has primarily focused on building his brand as MrArtnet on Instagram, where he daily inspires thousands of followers with his colorful semi-abstract shapes and figures, including his self-invented uninterpretable symbols

Now, Linus Cinnamoni combines his experiences as an artist and gallery assistant by gathering artists for the World Art Guide, selecting those who either demonstrate high quality and/or have the potential to develop, and those artists who are driven to succeed in the art field.

Joseph Tanue Forsuh

GALWAY, IRELAND

Joseph Tanue Forsuh

G ALWAY , I RELAND

Joseph T. Forsuh is a native of Cameroon, West Africa. He moved to Ireland almost twenty years ago. He is currently established in the West of Ireland.

As a child, Forsuh’s creative talents were revealed as he designed and made his own toys from scrap metal, bamboo and wood. From his early teens in Cameroon, he studied wood work in high school and became an in-demand wood worker and furniture designer. In 2003 he relocated to Ireland.

He studied Furniture Design at Galway Technical Institute (GTI). He proceeded this with a B.Sc. in Wood Technology from GMIT Letterfrack, Centre for Excellence in Co. Galway, Ireland.

Further to his background in Furniture and Wood Technology, Joseph T. Forsuh craved to work with glass and metal. His opportunity to fulfil his desire to become a glass artist came to pass in September 2013. This led to him embarking on an internship in Kiln-formed glass with the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland. In April 2016, Joseph T. Forsuh and his Irish wife Dorothy, fellow artist and designer, began a thriving company. They have successfully established a substantial glass gallery and shop, which offers a space to exhibit their art and host buyers from around the globe.

Engaging with the works of Joseph T. Forsuh is an immersive experience. His confident colour arrangements are influenced by his heritage. His process, in certain cases, involves revelation through dreams.

The breath-taking costal backdrop of the ‘Emerald Isle’ also inspires his process. Ponds, streams, waterfalls, and the crashing waves are notable influences to his work.

For him, art through the medium of glass is multi-layered and vital. It lifts the spirit. With ever-changing natural light, it comes alive. Each altering moment a new and unforgettable conversation within any space.

Joseph T. Forsuh has great grace to offer such a breadth to the spectrum of stories through his wall art and standing pieces. Producing large-scale installations, his work is brought to life through not only what is on display at Connemara Handcrafted Glass, but by way of commissions and collaborations with private and corporate clients.

GOLD ARTISTS

Vivian Atienza

DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY

Vivian Atienza

Vivian Atienza is a Spanish-German painter, born in 1983, in Düsseldorf, Germany. Descending from an Andalusian family of painters, and growing up surrounded by art, she began painting with oils at the age of 10.

During her studies of art history and philosophy at the Heinrich-HeineUniversity Düsseldorf (2008-2013) she deepened her painting skills under the influence of various perspectives of the humanities.

This served her as a reference point from which she developed her own view on art, philosophy, human existence and spirituality, all resonating in her paintings and forming a fundamental part of her work.

She dedicated herself to finding her individual artistic expression, incorporating the fusion of colour frequency, movement of textures and metaphysical thought. This is reflected in her figurative and abstract paintings.

By using neon pigments, she repeatedly plays with intense colors and adds an extra dimension to her paintings by exposing them to UV-light, thus expanding the perceptual field. Her paintings can be experienced in two ways: Under natural light or under UV light, which tansforms them into fluorescent objects, inviting the viewer to look at the hidden layers of reality. The visible and the vibrant invisible, which symbolize the internal human experience and the struggle for consciousness.

The leitmotiv in Atienza´s art is the theme of transformation. As part of the alchemical processes of life, matter, and the human being itself, constantly undergo various states of consciousness on the way to sublimation of Self.

The artist’s motivation is to create an expansive perceptual space in order to touch that gap between the “Untransformed” and the “Yet to be Transformed” space within us. Sometimes tenderly, sometimes roughly.

A gap in which different dimensions of our inner realities and paradoxes are invited to be felt during contemplation and colour exposure, or may inspire a moment of self-perception.

As life contains a cataclysmic element of transformative cycles, the artist’s paintings contain a glimpse of this inner journey that can resonate with the viewer’s own experience and the dissolution of stagnant structures in the subtle.

Susanne Broända ISKMO, FINLAND

Photo: Aamod and Sophelia Korhonen

Susanne Broända is an active artist from Finland whose art can be described as a mixture of dreams and wakefulness. Her way of using colours and clear imagery invites you as a viewer to a world of mirrors and windows. Through her art, you get an opportunity to reflect inwards and meet your inner world or turn your gaze outwards and observe what meets you there. In an unforced way, her colour choices and motifs create a subtle invitation for you to rest in the moment as well as to develop and learn from what her art evokes within you. The language of colours and images may at first trick you into thinking that what you see is what you get, but if you allow yourself to stop and look, you will notice that something is starting to happen inside.

The background to her creations is, as she describes it, an alternative spiritual view of life. Since the artist’s earliest childhood, she has felt a strong connection with animals, nature, and the energy of life. She uses her sensitivity to energies as one of her tools in her painting. The great sources of inspiration are the inner personal development, the mysterious and nature, and a motif that is particularly characteristic of Broända are birds.

Due to health challenges that began around the age of 30, her creations and techniques have been adjusted gradually. Today, she is limited in her painting, both in how she can hold on to her brushes and in how long she can work at a time. Despite this, she has continued to work with her art. Broända always has a painting going on in her head, and she can’t imagine a life without her colours and worlds, which she puts down on paper or canvas.

Fredrik Bülow

HELSINGBORG, SWEDEN

Fredrik Bülow

When Fredrik Bülow puts his headphones on, something happens. The heavy metal music penetrates his eardrums, goes around in his head, down into his heart and soul, through his hands, into the paintbrush, and onto the canvas. Listening to the depth of the instruments and the words of the lyrics takes him to another place, back in time, to memories of what has been.

Bülow never planned on starting to paint until a few years ago. With a lot of spare time, he sat down, grabbed a pen and some paper, and started to draw whatever came to his mind. One thing led to another, and now, three years later, he has made nearly 500 paintings on both stretched canvases and thick paper, has had about 20 gallery exhibitions, and has been represented by two galleries in Manhattan, New York, and one in Laguna Beach, California.

His style extends all the way from abstract to funky surrealism, cubism, action painting, pop art, and everything in between. What the result will be is not always predetermined. For Bülow, art is not a destination or goal; it’s a journey. As long as the paint flows with the music and it feels right, then he is on the right path.

When you look at Fredrik Bülows art, you can see a piece of himself, a piece of his soul. Maybe it´s a storytelling of his life or his thoughts. Maybe it´s a way of inner chaos or a way of inner calmness. Maybe it´s a way of moving forward and leaving bad memories behind. Maybe it´s a way of lashing out or a way of reflection. Maybe it´s a way for him to say, “This is me; this is who I am.”

Helén Burstedt NORDMALING,

SWEDEN

Helén Burstedt

Helén Burstedt lives in Järnäsklubb, Sweden, the place where the sea always sparkles, street lights are missing, and the starry sky is close. Burstedt was born and raised in Kiruna, the city that is being moved for the sake of the mine and the ore. Biting cold, mosquitoes, rivers, mountains and the northern lights are a big part of the origin that is manifested in her art.

Burstedt was born with creative ideas and many ways of expressing herself, but as an adult, she lost her playfulness and adventure in the way she expressed herself. Today, she again uses art as a way to communicate with the world and believes that it is a language that is spoken everywhere on earth. She loves to paint large acrylic paintings where canvases are built up with structure and many layers of paint. For Burstedt, structure in the canvas is as important as the colors. Most of the artist’s paintings have been painted with hands and only small details with brushes or other tools.

Burstedt’s paintings are described as explosions in a paint factory, and sculptures in stoneware clay having luxuriant shapes. She touches and tickles the imagination with her colorful art, and her way of painting is often described as stormy, unique, and emotional. Her expression is varied, and colors are allowed to intuitively guide her from color chaos to order. Helén Burstedt paints both figuratively and abstractly. She strives to allow all ages to be present in her way of expression and bravely takes turns in both colour and design language. In every work of art, there are stories and fairy tales from life and worlds of feelings and dreams.

Helén Burstedt finds inspiration in everyday life, people, the sky, the sea , and the mountains. She is passionately driven by attracting the world to laughter, contributing to he wonder and courage of being human. In addition to her own art, Burstedt holds painting courses for terrified women who want to be brave and for groups of friends who want to paint together. She is passionate about helping women become brave, wild, and free with the help of art.

M ANCHESTER , UK

Sandy Jian’s artist statement: “Living in the moment - I love, and inspirations blossom.”

Jian is an abstract digital artist based in the United Kingdom. She loves to express herself visually with new colour palettes and explore alternative sounds. Last autumn (2022), Jian released her music album ‘Thoughts of Piano’ with the following tracks: spontaneity, universal connection, melodic spirals, roses in December, deer’s gallery, and tidal forces. The music album was created when Jian explored her deep emotions – where she wrote all songs with the piano, thinking about the musical expressions with the piano, like having a conversation with someone in real life.

Sandy Jian believes that creating artworks is very similar to creating new music. The atmospheric sounds in ‘Thoughts of Piano’ also resonate with Jian’s latest artworks – she explores the use of colour temperature and the multi-faceted flow of inspirations with her choices of colour and vigorous brushstrokes.

In ‘Nocturne Whispered’, Jian expressed her feelings softly and deeply: love for the nocturne whispered from my heart as if time is no longer relevant –when my feelings flow through all boundaries of anywhere and everywhere, seeking the nocturne I long for.

In ‘Abstract Nostalgia’, Jian created this piece of an abstract artwork with the theme of love and nostalgia recurring inside one’s heart as the season of autumn arrives quietly. Jian’s artworks are showcased in magazines and books: House Garden, Abode2, GQ, Mayfair Life, The World of Interiors, TATLER, Vanity Fair, Traveller, Art in America Annual Guide and exhibitions: in Barcelona, Fuerteventura, London, United States, Milan, Athens, Crete and Metaverse.

Astrid Krehan ZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND

Astrid Krehan

Z ÜRICH , S WITZERLAND

Astrid Krehan is a contemporary photo artist born in Nuremberg, Germany. Her works convert everyday objects into abstract images characterized by high saturation and bright colours. Her photography is focused on capturing the fine details of a surface and enhancing them to show texture, patterns and forms. All this is intensified thanks to the strong colours.

Krehan plays with the camera, getting different combinations of light and colour. These results create abstract images. In fact, when in front of these photos, they look like paintings. The intensifying of the details leads the viewer to perceive them as canvas and brushstrokes. Photography shows what the eye fails to take in and goes beyond what the human eye can see. Krehan’s photography breaks down objects and landscapes that do not exist in the external world but emerge from inside her images. These abstract images tell a story; they raise questions and invite you to think. Even before shooting, the camera can see what the subconscious of the artist sees. This personal view of the world is the key to reinterpreting and transforming what Krehan sees. The objects change under our eyes. The movement of the camera allows the image to transform the object of the real world into a mental image, which arises from her subconscious.

The camera is a magic tool for Krehan to create her work, and it enables her to reveal the beauty that people otherwise would never see.

Astrid Krehan aims to bridge the east and the west through her works and acquaint us with Asia and its culture. It is where she spent time developing her personal and artistic life.

Oliver Petit-Helle CLAYE-SOUILLY, FRANCE

C LAYE -S OUILLY , F RANCE Oliver Petit-Helle

Olivier Petit-Helle is an autodidact French painter who began his career in 2020. He found his way into art when in need of healing from difficult past experiences and since then, Petit-Helle has developed his art into his own unique creative style.

The French artist is curious and likes to experiment a lot and painting allows him to give a dimension to his creativity. He likes the work of the material, the texture with impasto, the strong colors and the movement while remaining sober in his creations.

Light plays an essential role in the works of Petit-Helle, making the art works evolve according to the angle of view or the ambient light. He also incorporates phosphorescence in some of his designs, making them look different in the dark.

Even if he appreciates figurative art, the abstract remains for him a domain of predilection, in the hope of transmitting some of the pleasure he obtains from painting through his works. The artist prefers when his art touches the viewer in some way, even if it means that the viewer finds the art disturbing. Reactions and emotions awakened by his artworks are an important outcome for Olivier Petit-Helle.

Although he is new in the art field, the artworks of Petit-Helle have already been shown to an audience in Italy, the United Kingdom and California. And this could be only the beginning.

LITCHFIELD, MN, USA

Daniella Puls

Daniella Puls is an American self-taught oil pastel artist of Hungarian descent. She was born in the Northern Midwest in Spooner, Wisconsin. As a child, Puls was gifted in art and music and started playing the violin and cello at an early age. Through grade school and into high school, Puls was advised by her Art Instructors to embrace her artistic abilities and consider pursuing an Arts Degree.

At 17, Puls enlisted in the military and later became a Police Officer and Volunteer Firefighter. In 2014, she was diagnosed with a life-long brain illness that left her visually impaired, forcing her to end her career. Since then, she has found new challenges in life to overcome. Puls believes that Art Imitates Life, from the minimalistic calm to the chaos. She uses her artistic skills to voice her expressiveness and passions and guide her when she feels confined. Puls feels no boundaries when working on her artworks. The spectrum is a wide open canvas, which can be seen among her artwork pieces.

Although visually impaired, Puls uses art as a channel to express her feelings and emotions. Her art is a mix of both abstract and contemporary works. She enjoys geometric shapes and linear patterns. Her inspirations are Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Albers. Puls has an undertone of mediums , from soft pastels to watercolor painting. Puls’s greatest inspiration for her abstract geometrics comes from her grandfather, who did stained glass artwork. Her linear-lined art is often created by musical notes.

After a life in various professions and raising three children, Steffi Rodigas decided to break all conventions and left her secure job. Since then, she has been creatively expressing her feelings, thoughts and ideas through art and music and has been working as a freelance artist since 2018. In her artistic works, you can feel and see her deep connection to nature, animals and the love for detail.

She works with various materials and techniques, including acrylic, oil, pastel and pouring. In the last year, she has successfully focused on watercolours. Her specially developed kind of art, “ART in ART”, combines realistic painting with abstraction. Numerous small works of art with colorful expressiveness come together to form a complete work that reveals a motif or gives free rein to the imagination. With her passion for three-dimensionality, she often incorporates 3D elements into her paintings and has created numerous sculptures from building insulation material.

Rodigas finds it particularly important for her to articulate her emotions and opinions on world events in a creative way. This has resulted in works that have addressed climate change, pollution and overuse of the oceans, world politics, media overkill and more.

In Germany, she has already had seven solo exhibitions and numerous collective exhibitions.

Rodrigo Ruiz QUERETARO,

MEXICO

Rodrigo Ruiz

Rodrigo Ruiz, born in Querétaro, in 1978, is an Architect and artist, and focuses his artistic exercise on the production of paintings and sculptures with an outstanding emphasis on the use of raw materials. In his pieces, Ruiz projects his fascination for abstract expressionism, taking it to a tridimensional realm and commanding those materials to tell us a bigger story. Many layers of oil paint get torn to reveal what is beneath them, be it wood or metal, placed in impossible burning or fragmented patterns.

Ruiz sees a world of expressive possibilities as the layers of paint, materials and images appear before him in the same manner as internal struggles, contradictions, and the patterns hidden under our skin come to light. He forces himself to look at things from a different perspective, and his goal is to share that vision with the audience.

Rodrigo Ruiz’s pieces are unquestionably and foremost an exercise in confrontation. It is a series of random movements that result in a chaotic yet organic landscape, where sequences of orthogonal, clean, and precise drawings are skillfully planted and imposed. Order confronts chaos. It is almost like an aerial look of the earth with white houses superimposed on it. These pieces are much more than that. Upon looking at them carefully, these pieces are formed by layers of buried compositions. Sometimes they are thin glazes. Other times they are thick lumps that alter the geography of the canvas. Just like Russian dolls, two, three, or six pieces can coexist and live within each one of Ruiz’s canvases. It takes courage to do this.

Merle Soolo HELSINKI, FINLAND

Merle Soolo

H ELSINKI , F INLAND

Merle Soolo was born in Estonia, but is now an artist living in Finland. Around 2012, she became interested in drawing, which gradually gave way to painting. The spark to create her own art was ignited in 2017 and hasn’t gone out since then, but now, it burns with an even bigger flame. Through her paintings, she conveys the beauty of life and hope.

Soolo is a wonderful and sensitive artist. Her unique art goes straight to the heart and reflects the inner man in the most beautiful way possible. The strong and intense colours speak of emotions and their tolerance. Although the paintings are sometimes dark, at first glance gloomy, perhaps due to the emotional turmoil of the moment, there is also hope, something enchanting, something soothing.

Her sources of inspiration are often love, longing, hope for the better, the beauty of nature, and emotions that are subject to change. From these emerge powerful works. Her passion for painting, combined with her love of interior design, inspires her to create luxurious, functional artworks with a modern appeal. So in 2019, she discovered a new way to create art alongside painting - epoxy resin art. Soolo’s epoxy art is delicate, subtle, and colourful, and she is constantly finding new ways to make epoxy art.

Merle Soolo is a wonderful artist and a brilliant craftsman. Her love and passion for creative work are communicated through art and products, and there is always something interesting, appealing or hopeful in her work.

Lotta Tamba

STOCKHOLM, S WEDEN

Colour, form, style and composition are like oxygen to Lotta Tamba. Lotta Tamba has always redecorated her room since she was a child, giving new life to old things. She also made her own clothes by changing her grandmother’s old outfits, which she found in the attic. Her grandmother, a seamstress, never threw anything away; you can imagine that was like heaven for Tamba.

Lotta Tamba grew up in Västerås, and after textile studies in high school and six months in London, she started her first business designing clothes. Since then, she has run several different businesses. After meeting many people who were not living the way they wanted, she studied to be a life coach. As an entrepreneur with many passions, she was struggling with which leg to stand on. However, one day after a meditation session, her soul shouted, “Can I please just be an artist?!” It was a powerful moment, but she couldn’t see herself as an artist then. Not even after a message from her deceased father that making art was something she should do. Meditation finally gave her clarity to see that art and life inspiration mixed together is her call.

For Tamba, art and spirituality go hand in hand, and after studying Modern Energy Art, she is thrilled about how the process of making art, looking at it and feeling the artwork can be like therapy, giving you answers and clarity.

Lotta Tamba uses acrylic colours, collages, and preferably old materials, to give character and an interesting vibe with inspiring messages. She wants her art to be like an adventure for the viewer, hoping it will give you more courage and joy in life. She often gives in to the process and paints what she wants to be created.

For the love of all passionate creators, Tamba founded a global network, Arty Entrepreneurs Network. The idea is to create opportunities and collaborations across borders. She wants to create a win-win-win because the world needs arty people.

Georgia Tsarouhas

WEST PRESTON, AUSTRALIA

Georgia Tsarouhas

Georgia Tsarouhas is a self-taught artist who has been painting for several years from her home studio in Melbourne, Australia. Born a Greek-Australian, she spent many of her formative years living in Australia and Greece for significant periods of time, and her psyche has been indelibly imbued by her life’s experiences being intertwined with these two incredible cultures and rich landscapes.

In her work, she delves deeply into creating significant visual experiences, usually drawing on personal undercurrents, linking themes of memory, heritage, internal language, time, and being—with internal and external landscapes. She takes note of the fragile wefts and warps of the human condition and combines these with inspiration from nature—weaving in the intangible, the in-betweenness of things, love and loss, solace and yearning, beginning and end, holding on and letting go, fear and euphoria, the organic and static, light and dark, the process of metamorphosis and transition, and making the invisible visible.

As she engages with spontaneous yet conscious gestural expressions of color, marks, and abstraction, the composition that emerges on the canvas is one that conveys the emotional imagery she experiences through this layered contemplation. Georgia Tsarouhas paints large-scale as a way to find an expansive expression for what is ultimately an intimate connection with her own metaphysical alchemy. This endeavor nourishes her like a meditation and is what makes the process of painting both alluring and intriguing for her.

Above all, her paintings are about resonance and connection. Tsarouhas’s paintings are held in private collections in Australia and overseas, and are described as visceral visionary landscapes that resonate with an emotional response to memory and experience of connection with people, place, as well as the pulsating of her soul. This is conveyed through abstractions of colour and the velvety lusciousness of oil on a large-scale canvas.

Janusz Tworek CRACOW, POLAND

Janusz Tworek

C RACOW , P OLAND

Janusz Tworek a.k.a.“JANUS” is an architect by profession. He creates art in many techniques: collage, drawing, dry pastel, and oil painting technique, and also deals with stained glass, ceramics, and photography.

For Janusz Tworek, art is the basic way of expressing his attitude toward reality. The paintings and drawings he creates flow from the instinctive zone, operating beyond intellectual considerations. He believes that this makes them the most authentic representation of reality. Tworek also writes poems resulting from intellectual contestation. He combined both these means of expression on several occasions. It seems to him that this creates the fullest message.

Tworek’s painting is spontaneous, resulting from the emotions he experiences. That is why his works are so different from each other. Most often, the ideas that are the intellectual basis of what he wants to paint change under the influence of the emotions of the moment. Hence his motto, “emotions are everything - everything is emotion.”

Despite the age of 65, Janusz Tworek studies all the time. He doesn’t wonder if he has a “style” of painting. He tries to paint as best he can. And this is changing thanks to new experiences. Certainly, his “style” is not realism. Each work is an expression of his lived experiences, which creates an emotional bond with each of them. When he finishes the painting, he feels a kind of relief and thinks about what will happen next.

He believes that it is important to return to the roots of the role of art in human life. That is why it is so important to make the artists themselves aware of the important social role they play. They create things that have always been the markers of the level of maturity of the community. The need for communing with art has been an inherent need of mankind since the dawn of time. Unfortunately, today it is not so obvious.

She believes that drawing on the iPad has made her improvise her ideas, as when drawing on a canvas, there are inevitable obstacles to physical production, such as preparation of tools, preparation of paints, and waiting time for drying. She believes digital tools have eliminated such restrictions and can help one improve their skills every day without the hassle of physical art. What is important in the creation is not how much time is spent but how deeply it goes through.

Naho Awaji’s art concept is to make the invisible visible. With the theme of transforming the emptiness hidden in everyday life into art, she is mainly inspired by nature, the world of dreams, memories, and nostalgia. She has an almost irresistible impulse for creativity with the first stroke of the brush; when finishing, she contemplates if it will make the observer happy. She also has a graphic design perspective, so she’ll make sure it’s balanced on paper. And she will finish drawing independently as a picture when she leaves. Hitting emotions is also an art, but in the end, it becomes too emotional, and Awaji values the sociality of being able to share with others.

Yannick Chevrel

HONG KONG, HONG KONG

A French abstract expressionist from Brittany, Yannick Chevrel has been living in Hong Kong for the past thirty years. He did the Art School of Life as an autodidact. At a young age, he felt that schooling was uncomfortable, too academic, too conditioning and restraining minds and freedom. He realized how society was formatting people in its rigid mold, leaving little hope to those who did not fit in. This realization shaped his analytical and critical sense of thinking. He needed to escape, and at 10 years old, he made his first sculpture out of a wooden log picked up from his father’s garden.

His painting’s expression is instinctive, especially on the first row of paints. He digs his inner out, a sort of exorcism searching for the deepest, truest of his himself. When he reaches the piece’s DNA, he forges and shapes it to his satisfaction. This approach could explain his paintings’ tribal touch.

Yannick Chevrel chooses bright, warm colours as if he is looking to compensate for the grayness of his urban environment and one of the world’s chaotic nonsense. He looks for contrast, colour clashing to grab viewers’ attention and tackle their emotions; he wants them to wonder and to be transported to other dimensions that will awaken their senses. People, in his view, seem to have lost their sensitivity and forgotten to appreciate simple things that make life beautiful such as forms, colours and light. Chevrel likes to give textural effects to his paintings, like if he could bring them alive, a sort of immobile dynamic, his Gepeto’s effect. His paintings have to vibe with a certain aesthetic and balance in their composition, as he likes to say.

Abstract painting, for him, is synonymous with freedom; it has no boundaries and no rules. It is a free land of expression that offers viewers a wide angle of interpretation.

Takehiko Chiba KOTO-KU, JAPAN

Takehiko Chiba is a Japanese artist who was born in 1970 and grew up in Tokyo. He initially pursued a career in graphic design in his 20s but later transitioned to window display production for a few years before returning back to graphic design again. Although Chiba enjoys drawing, he can’t pursue it full-time because of his busy schedule.

Chiba finds painting to be both fun and painful at the same time and prefers to create digital artwork, and it seems to come naturally to him because of his adeptness in graphic design. For him, painting is a rollercoaster of emotions that brings both pain and happiness. Despite this, his work has a playful and childlike quality, and he has a knack for capturing the childlike side of everyday events in his art. His attention to detail and unique style have made him stand out as an artist.

Takehiko Chiba is open to collaborating with galleries and other interesting partners and is looking forward to exhibiting his colorful artwork worldwide in the coming years. While he is currently not a full-time artist, his dream is to one day be able to work as a full-time artist and share his art with the world.

Rana Hatem Slim BEIRUT, LEBANON

Rana Hatem Slim is a French-Lebanese artist currently living in Beirut. Inspired by her emotions, Rana Hatem Slim expresses her vision and feelings of the moment and chooses to see magic in everything. Through her art, she is able to communicate with her inner self and share her perception; still allowing everyone to see and feel whatever their inspiration leads them to.

Art has always been part of Rana Hatem Slim’s life. August 4, 2020 (Beirut Blast) was a turning point and an inner implosion to let out! She needed to express herself , and this came out by painting, taking photographs and creating Arabic calligraphy digitally.

Art, for Rana Hatem Slim, is about expressing her own truth at the moment in time. Art is so powerful that it speaks to everyone, goes behind cultures, includes diversity, doesn’t discriminate and opens space to discussion and exchange that surely nurture the mind and soul.

In every piece of art, she reveals a bit of herself, her inner soul and her intimate vision. What makes it magical is that by doing so, she is able to share with the world, still allowing every person to identify and see wherever their own emotions lead them at this moment in their life. This is the magic of art.

She is a citizen of Humanity, contributing to making the world more sustainable and a better place to evolve in, while pursuing her passion and growing her inner world, and she hopes that her art will inspire you. Welcome to the world of Rana Hatem Slim!

Orimi Imazato AMAGASAKI,

JAPAN

Orimi Imazato finds the rain very beautiful, and wants to someday be able to paint this rain in a picture. She thought this as a child, looking out the window at the rain, and that had been the beginning of her desire for expression.

She realized at an early age that if she painted what she wanted, she could have it. This was true even for things that did not actually exist in the world. It was art that made her realize her thoughts, if there’s such a thing in the world. But that was not all. There was a shadow lurking somewhere in her art world, and she had a scene in her mind where she was breaking out of it. She wanted to paint pictures that would break the existing fetters and lead someone to a higher place, even though she was very young.

Imazato likes to express the invisible and psychological. For this reason, she often draws people too.

People are elaborate, beautiful, and lacking, and she wants to delve into the inner world of such people and help them where they are lacking and where they can grow more. Also, her paintings are cluttered with elements to attract the attention of people. It could be the colors or the “eyes.” She often grabs hold of what is sensually internal and what people are attracted to and draws it in her paintings. It is as if her painting is about to blossom in a naturally more wonderful direction.

Tahara Mio KANAGAWAKEN, JAPAN

Tahara Mio is a Japanese artist. Her father was an architect, and her aunt was a student of oil painting at an art university, while her grandmother was also a retired painter, and Mio often watched her paint without realizing it. She took care of the people around her and dreamed of one day painting a picture that would make other people happy. Mio played with the light in the forest and with the birds, bugs, and fish, used to soak herself in nature.

Mio’s elementary school art teacher advised her parents to develop their daughter’s artistic talents, however, her parents wanted a safe life for Mio, and they disagreed with the teacher. Mio was late in preparing for the entrance exam to an art university, but after half a year of preparation, she was lucky to be accepted as a student at Musashino Art University. Later, she worked for a construction company and ran a cram school for elementary school students, spending her free time painting and sketching.

When opposing things are brought together, a very strong force is created. Mio likes to portray the contrast between the moon and the sun, as well as the birth of man and woman. She also likes to depict the development of Eastern and Western cultures and wishes to share and reconcile these different perspectives.

Tamaki Nagakubo KUGAHARA, JAPAN

Tamaki Nagakubo grew up in Tokyo, Japan, a city known for its bustling yet stressful work-centric society. Engulfed in a monotone, depressed society and surrounded by escalating suicide rates, Tamaki Nagakubo was motivated to make a change and send a message of hope to the people around her.

Nagakubo believes that people in Japan are a bit afraid of change, whether it be politics, education, or daily life, and she wants to challenge everything in hopes of inspiring the new generation through the best way she expresses herself: art.

Tamaki Nagakubo is trained in the traditional style of black-and-white Japanese calligraphy but is tired of the method and wants to revolutionize how people see art in her country. She is challenging the art society by making a new unique style using color and different brush stroke patterns, and modernistic backgrounds. Hungry for change, Tamaki Nagakubo kept developing her art style, eventually leading to the world of digital art.

Nagakubo believes the world is constantly evolving, and we must adapt to it to move forward. She couldn’t express herself anymore with just calligraphy and wants to reach more people with messages of hope through her art in this digital world and amidst the pandemic.

These artworks are within the same 2022 “Nature Eye x Intuitive Expression” and some from the 2021 “Human x Nature x Animal spirit.”

Natha Out of the Blue perceived that inside our body and mind, there are also the souls, and she depicts them as the animal’s spirit, the spirits that guide us for decision-making, positive thinking, or any instinctive actions. The techniques are based on the expression with a variety of other techniques such as overlay, and collage, while some use the roller and bold outlook designing.

Tadashi Nishida

SETAGAYA-KU, JAPAN

When Nishida Tadashi walks in the sun as he pleases, various natural phenomena catch his eyes. He continues to photograph and record these phenomena—Forgotten objects on street corners and things that fade away with the passage of time. The parts of things that are in the shadows and not easily noticed by people, the flaws, stains, and blemishes, and their conditions. There are things that make us want to turn away from them. He photographs things that are seemingly destined to disappear.

The most important time for him is when he takes these images home and processes them. The approach to the images leads to a dialogue between the conscious and subconscious mind. There are moments when Nishida Tadashi connects with his subconscious mind as he observes the changes in the various images that suddenly appear before his eyes. It is a kind of meditation. He believes that the subconscious mind’s realization is important in the creative process. He believes that the most important thing is to have time to confront that phenomenon created by the subconscious mind.

Atsushi Ohta

TOSHIMA, JAPAN

Atsushi Ohta is a Japanese painter mainly known for his contemporary painting. He was born in Aichi in 1961. From 1984 to 1990, Ohta studied at the Tokyo University of the Arts, and while studying there, he encountered the ideas of modern painting and gained his own perspective. Since his solo exhibition in 1995, he has continued to convey his own vision of painting. His work proceeds under the name of conceptual painting.

Now here’s some food for thought: An artist only creates a space by painting and drawing on a flat surface, but how can it be possible to create a theme in this autonomous painting space without using reproducible spatial expression of visual experiences? It is caused only by ‘conceptual action’, not by the iconography or the image. The theme lies in finding the reality of selfexistence and getting awareness and awakening, or it can be the uncertainty of the existence of the perceived and recognized objects and the certainty of the self-existence which recognizes them.

The act of drawing as a motif causes the self-existence on a canvas - capturing it in the moment of present and in the limited area of here. The awareness and awakening will be obtained in the relationship of substance, idea and action.

Parth

AHMEDABAD, INDIA

Parth is a 24 years old self-taught artist. As a child, he didn’t know how to draw and had always received negative reviews and criticism from his school teachers, which made him give up on drawing and sketching. After a few years, he approached his take on culinary arts and decided to become a chef. Parth gained his culinary knowledge from well-recognised colleges in multiple countries such as Switzerland, the United States Of America & United Kingdom. At a very young age, he explored a lot of cultures and different forms of art and music.

However, while working in Modena, Italy, he learnt about Leonardo Da Vinci in depth and was mesmerised by the details and life of a great human being. Parth believes Leonardo Da Vinci was not appreciated and honoured as much as he should’ve been when he was alive. Due to Parth’s interest in cosmology and astronomy because of his schooling background in science major, he started reading books by different physicists and scientists.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Parth was stuck just like the rest of the world. He started thinking about how he could convey his thoughts, and he started sketching in 2021. At that time, he had no idea or experience of painting on a canvas, but he finally took the initiative in the month of August 2021. When he started painting, he didn’t know how it was going to turn out. He started experimenting with all the concepts amd pictures he read and saw respectively. Parth also used many of his culinary equipment while painting.

To summarise, Parth found a way to explore his otherworldly thoughts by experimenting on canvas and paper using a lot of vivid colours and different techniques. The most important reason for him to start painting regularly was his incapability to portray his thoughts on a plate because he couldn’t put his every otherworldly thought using edible food products.

Saki SHIBUYA, JAPAN

Living in Japan, Saki has been in love with drawing and painting since childhood and won numerous awards in art competitions when she was in school. Since then, she dreamed of becoming an artist; however, she gave up on following her dream for some personal reasons. While studying abroad, she started studying graphic design and became a graphic designer back home in Japan. Years of hard work took a toll on her health, and she became ill, ultimately deciding to switch jobs. However, her passion for creative fields never diminished. After switching jobs, she started facing many struggles in her life for years and

was about to lose herself in her mounting stress. One day, about five years ago, she encountered an art class called “Botany Painting,” which is a painting technique using lotus leaves, created by Mr. Mitsutoshi Sugimoto. She found herself captivated by the beauty of the art. The art rekindled her dream, and she decided to study under the mentorship of Mr. Sugimoto to become a Botany Painting Artist.

Since then, her passion and creativity toward art have awakened and continued to grow by adding her original artworks. Saki’s art is unique and colorful. Each piece is created with the purpose of brightening the living space and heart of the viewers. She hopes that her art works will bring healing and happiness to all who view them around the world.

Rayven Sin

HONG KONG , HONG KONG

Rayven Sin Wai-chi graduated from RMIT University as a Bachelor of Fine Art, majoring in sculpture, in 2015. After that, she stayed in the United Kingdom for more than a year, contemplating the cultures and life differences between the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. When she returned to Hong Kong in 2018, she worked in a textile museum under the Curatorial Learning team for three years. Now she is an independent artist.

The theme of Rayven Sin Wai-chi’s creations is about human’s primary needs; Life, death and sex. When she started painting, she imagined that she was catching objects in a small cage; the boundaries were the edges of the canvas. She thinks it is similar to people living in different sizes of boxes in this world. The objects of her paintings always crave something, such as relationships, a lively beginning, or just wanting to lose themselves in a mood etc. Her works tend to be telling spiritual stories, so she doesn’t take any reference for paintings; all subjects were from her imagination.

SOU

SAPPORO-SHI, JAPAN

SOU has had a great urge to “express” himself since he was a teenager, and after taking a few deviations, he eventually followed his passion. He gained the freedom of expression to create paintings without being constrained by anything based on the techniques and expressions of space design that he had encountered. The sea of imagination has now overflowed and is brimming with possibilities.

SOU expresses the urge to visualize “poetic things” like music, which are invisible to the eye but firmly present in the changing times and the daily flow of time. For example, the concept of “time,” which progresses from the past to the future, is not displayed as a one-way arrow from the past to the future. It is “just there,” as if it surrounds the surroundings in which it exists. This idea of time is what inspired SOU to create his masterpiece ‘Time to cling.’ The metallic image of the “concept of time” clings to the seemingly immovable bark. As we are tossed around by information and the evolution of the Internet, the way we perceive things is becoming more uniform. We have already been drilled from above our heads with the fundamental education and environment for thinking, and we have to speak “words” to maintain balance.

@sou_yuji

The works produced by SOU give us a chance to “change” in our casual daily lives. With this in mind, SOU expresses the world that the poetics within SOU point to.

Chie Suzuki

UTSUNOMIYA-SHI, JAPAN

Chie Suzuki was born in 1981 and lives in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. She has always liked drawing and making pictures. In January 2021, as a hobby, she started an art [botany painting] that freely lays out and colors natural lotus leaves and Indian linden leaves, but she could only pursue it in her free time.

In May 2021, she lost her beloved husband to Scirrhous gastric cancer, carrying her thoughts on her back and experiencing adjustment disorder as she lost her mind and body balance.

She would stay lost in her thoughts all day long and couldn’t do anything productive. She thought she would be useless at this rate, so she resumed her botany painting in August 2021 to complete her halfway botany painting and report it to her late husband. And as she painted her leaves as she pleased, it was as if the veins of her leaves revived with her life, while at the same time, she could spend her own time and feel proud of herself.

• 2021 Digital group exhibition, “HYSTERICA”, M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Milan, Italy

Suzuki insists on being grateful for life instead of taking it for granted. She believes that being able to be there for someone makes you feel more comfortable and allows you to see things positively. Through her botany paintings, she felt a new discovery of herself and the newly found courage to face herself.

Chie Suzuki also participates in various local and international events.

Kazu Tsutsumi KIMITSU, JAPAN

Kazu Tsutsumi is a painter who has studied engineering and science and has experience in the research and development of technology and business. After studying the science of crystals at university, he has been interested in exploring the principles of form, and he began producing acrylic paintings around 2005, taking inspiration from his research. Later, as he began his fullfledged artistic activities, he realized that his life experiences had been related to this exploration and decided to express the world that had come into view there. He is mainly engaged in creative activities based on acrylic painting, but recently he has expanded his field of activity to digital art as well. The themes focused on are also expanding from nature and the environment to life and the ego.

Kazu Tsutsumi believes that each human being lives in a world created by himself, and his works have his own unique worldview. It is a new worldview that fuses Eastern thought, which regards human beings as part of nature rather than the rulers of nature, and modern science, which has begun to grasp life from within itself. He believes that the core of art is beauty. This is because beauty is not just superficially sophisticated but because Tsutsumi believes that there are multifaceted elements that point in the direction in which “life” should go. The basis of his work is to make these diverse beauties visible.

Noriko Ue KYOTO, JAPAN

Noriko Ue, hailing from Kyoto, Japan, discovered painting during a particularly challenging period in her life. One could say that painting became her salvation. Through her artwork, she aspires to spread joy, eliciting smiles and fostering a positive attitude towards life. It all began with a frog, which emerged as a symbol for her to cultivate positivity and happiness. The frog genuinely brightened her mood, and she embarked on an entire series of frog-inspired creations. As the frog leaps through both good and bad days, she desires to disseminate this optimism via her paintings and art.

As an artist, she paints from the depths of her heart, allowing her emotions to guide her creative process. She dreams of sharing her artwork with the entire world, so that others might smile alongside her delightful frogs. Noriko Ue perceives this as merely the beginning of her journey as an international artist, hoping to see her art and frogs displayed in numerous locations across the globe. The next time one encounters a frog, they ought to remind themselves to leap and embrace life with a positive outlook.

AUSTRALIA

Siegmund Angyal THIRROUL, AUSTRALIA

Siegmund Angyal is an Austrian-born, Australian-based artist, and his work is an exploration of the inner workings of a mind reacting to external stimuli. He doesn’t simply follow the conventional way, where an artist would choose a particular style and produce works within those set bounds, but each image yearns for its own distinct visual language to be explored. His work craves uniqueness, and Angyal is an artist who does justice to it regardless of the medium used and irrespective of what the inspiration for his work was.

Angyal’s love for painting and his motivation to express it in various ways have led him to experiment with different mediums. Starting his artistic journey with watercolour and pencil works, the artist felt the need to explore other mediums such as oil and acrylic and, at times, a mixture of the two, with capturing photography of nature and landscapes also being a passion of his. When working with oils and acrylic on canvas, he uses rich, vibrant tones to give his paintings a strong physical presence.

• 2021 Digital group exhibition, “Hysterica”, M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Milan, Italy

• 2021 Digital group exhibition, “Sacrifice”, M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Milan, Italy

Once the medium is chosen, Siegmund Angyal draws on inspiration which can come from nature, music, world events and the current mood or life circumstances of the artist himself.

A work can form in an instant, in a dream, or can develop over time, and his technique is driven by an obsession to realise his vision exactly as it appears in his mind. Whilst impossible to pin down or describe his style or technique, he holds high regard for the likes of Rudolf Hausner, Dali, Monet, Van Gogh & Edward Hopper, whilst never directly imitating said styles in his own work but letting his artistic freedom roam.

Adina Ding

BROADBEACH, AUSTRALIA

Adina Ding is a visual artist who works with poetic imagery, creating both figurative and abstract works led by fantasy and imagination. Her subject matter includes exquisite landscapes, abundant nature, radiant animals, and mysterious women, with female protagonists gazing out at the viewer or pictured in powerful transcendental actions, conjuring up light, growth, and weather. She uses a combination of fully rendered detail and more experimental fluid, dripping paint, as well as texture and overpainting to create further layers within the work.

Celestial influence is essential in several of Ding’s works, with shiny pinpoints of stars and blasts of sunlight coming into the frame. The landscapes that feature within her paintings are tranquil coastal scenes, lush vistas of seasonal bounty, and underwater worlds. Boats, birds, and jellyfish all come to life within her compositions and move within her imaginary landscapes, creating a notion of freedom. This is reinforced by the confident presence of the people within her paintings, steady and contented, free-spirited as the birds.

• 2022 Art fair, International Art Festival, “BCP Season 3”, Rhythm of Art Organisation, India

Several of her works hold multiple elements of narrative, for example, a scene of two convening golden planets, large on the horizon and electric in their bolts of interaction, or the girl with antlers which are also trees, meandering between pines, accompanied by a multi-colored planet and scarab-eye motifs. Each painting is also accompanied by a poem, written by Ding, that further reflects on the story of the work.

Ninni Andersson FALKÖPING, SWEDEN

Ninni Andersson lives in a small village outside Falköping in Sweden. She has been painting all her life, but it is only in recent years that painting has become her passion and job. She works from her studio in her home, where she has had many shows.

Ninni Andersson feels like she has developed a lot as an artist in the past year. She feels that today she dares to trust her abilities and the process of the painting, even if it does not turn out as she planned in the beginning. The feeling when something finally grows is very satisfying. She still works as a teacher but will soon become a full-time artist. She likes to paint in different styles, but her preferred medium is abstract, and she has a wide variety in her paintings. It can be anything from nice little flowers to dark, dramatic paintings. Her inspiration comes from the shapes and movements she sees in everyday life and nature.

Andreas Angleitner WELS, AUSTRIA

Andreas Angleitner is a 34 year old Austrian-based artist from Linz. His main goal is the creation of multi-layered artworks by mixing harmonic looking combinations of colours on two different groundings - canvas and limestone.

Angleitner is a very cautious person which of course has both positive and negative sides. He uses recycled material to become more risky and openminded. Crossing borders of colours and developing fusions of colour fields help him to break down mental barriers and doubts. It is a sort of facing the unknown and coping with troubles. Furthermore, touching and observing the structures of his artworks is a pure sensual experience to him. He feels much more connected to his own person and his feelings.

Dried limestone makes it possible to explore loads of different angles and surfaces - it invites him to face himself on a comfortable, in a surprising way. As an introvert creating art is a type of revealing secrets of Andreas Angleitner personality as he is much more into listening to others than talking about himself. Past exhibitions led him to Milano, Madrid and Berlin.

Francesca Autino NICE, FRANCE

Francesca Autino is a passionate Italian artist, living in the South of France near the Mediterranean Sea and many fields of lavender. Her watercolor and acrylic artworks are inspired by this beautiful dream-like environment and by the splendid Italian cities of the Renaissance.

She has always had a brush in her hand from a very young age, and even during her university studies, she used to sketch on her notes. Painting and playing with colours have always been an integral and joyful part of her life. Acrylic paint makes it possible to work in layers and to create an infinity of unexpected colors that change with the variation of light. Thus the colours intermingle spontaneously with the shapes and embrace them to form a living and vibrant whole.

In Francesca Autino’s work, she has discovered the healing power of colours which have their own coded language and helps brings the soul to the light. She works spontaneously, in a space of freedom and playfulness, with the desire to share this joy with the surrounding world. During the breaks, she plays the piano, her favourite instrument, to relax and get inspired. The music sets its harmonious notes and mixes its universal language with the magic language of colours. Then Autino’s work becomes an act of pure love.

Henrik Bakmann RANDERS NØ, DENMARK

Henrik Bakmann comes from Denmark, and he works with many different types of art. He was just a little kid when his grandfather introduced him to art, but it wasn’t till he was 12-13 years old that he started drawing himself. In his young days, however, it was not art that filled his time. He taught drama education to children and young people, which he led as a drama leader and later drama pedagogical art and as a culture communicator for children and young people. He has also published two youth books.

Bakmann is also an educated media graphic artist, but he works with many different types of art and materials. For example, he has made totem pictures of wood inspired by the North American coastal Indians. He also makes mobiles, masks and pictures of plexiglass, and he has now also started experimenting with art made of paper and plastic.

• 2022 Group exhibition, “Magnificent”, Luna Grande Art Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey

• 2022 Group exhibition, Van der Plas Gallery, New York, U.S.A.

Henrik Bakmann’s graphic images are created by processing photos of different surfaces and patterns and putting them together into imaginative landscapes. In this way, the images become an expression of his feelings and dreams, and his desire is therefore to give the imagination wings to fly out to the people and give the outside world the opportunity to form their own imaginative dreams and experience, thereby making the art experience personal.

Marine Bass

MONTHEY, SWITZERLAND

Marine Bass is a Swiss visual artist, who outside of this book never uses capital letters in her name (marine bass). After graduating in Illustration and 2D Design in 2011, Bass spent amost a decade as a bookseller for a living, finally feeling the urge in 2021 to be a full-time artist.

In 2018, Marine Bass began to express themself in a gestural abstract way, mixing techniques – such as collage, homemade paper, big, bold brushstrokes of paint or ink, and tiny little etched mark makings – in the perspective of always being surprised by their own artwork. Marine Bass paints in a very instinctive way, always unplanned, looking for some wonders to happen, using the discomfort – color, technique, whatever it is – as a starting point or leverage in the process.

• 2022 Group exhibition, “Queer and feminist” Bøwie Gallery, Geneva, Switzerland

• 2019– Collaboration “by SpeedArting”, Online gallery, Geneva, Switzerland

Marine Bass is a very curious visual artist, constantly experimenting with new techniques to find a genuine way to express themself, questioning the world, and pushing further and further the compositions of colors and textures. Painting is the only place where Marine Bass allows themself to act totally spontaneously, freed from social expectations. With irony, the artist explores such topics as gender identity, trauma and anxiety, social statuses, and social performativity. Bass finds it extremely important to spread emotions through art, whatever your personal history or your social background is.

Mag Blue is a visual artist who works in painting, photography, sculpture, and design. She also expresses her creative sensitivity through installations and performances. She is an active initiator, curator, and producer of cultural concepts and the founder of the Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery in Stockholm.

Blue has over 200 individual and collective art projects and several valuable awards, including the Diploma for Merit of the Minister of Culture and Cultural Heritage 2019. She collaborates with various galleries in Sweden, France, and the USA and is a member of several art and photography associations in Sweden and England. Her art work is exhibited almost all over the world, with the largest private collection of her paintings in New York.

Many of her publications on art, design, and her artistic projects have appeared, among others, in such magazines as Villa, Rezydencje, Gentleman, Interior and Garden, Elity, Pangea Magazine, etc. For many years, Blue has strived for harmony in life at all levels with respect for herself and others. She analyzes phenomena and mechanisms operating in nature, their impact on human life, and what has long been confirmed by sciences such as psychology, physics, biology, or chemistry. What do quantum physics, electromagnetic waves, vibrations, and phantom interactions tell us about everyday life? What are human energy centers?

It is not new that everything that surrounds us is energy, that we are energy. But how is this energy best managed, and how do we let it flow in the best direction? How to consciously exist on the right vibrations in harmony with yourself and the universe? The artist deals with these and other scientific issues in her painting and performances. In photography, she most often looks for light, form, and fleeting moments, wishing to capture in the frame detailsbeauty in the real world.

Mattia Branchesi RICCIONE, ITALY

Mattia Branchesi is a self-taught Italian artist who set out to approach the art world through the drawing of animals, portraits and nudes. He then attended the Art School of drawing and painting - Umberto Folli, in Rimini (Italy), where he learned the techniques of charcoal, oil on canvas, and oil crayons. Although over time, his artistic poetics has approached abstractionism, in his works, it is still possible to see the persistent and rooted passion of the artist for portraiture that has always accompanied him since his first experiments.

In his works, there is never a lack of pop colours that help him give dynamism and materiality to the creative composition. It is precisely the colours, strong and vibrant, that suggest to the observer the multitude of facets of the artist’s character, to help him see the deepest and most intimate sides of his being.

• 2022 Group exhibition, Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, France

Colour is used in the various works as a revealing source of truth, in line with abstract poetics, and of the human figure, to also seek harmony with those in front of it and encourage him to embark on an emotional journey within himself. Continuous research in the art world will also lead him closer to digital art.

The artist has participated in various art competitions and exhibited his works in some prestigious galleries in Milan (CAEL Gallery, Spazio Tolomeo, M.A.D.S Art Gallery etc.) and was selected for the collective exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre (October 2022). He also appeared in Art Now magazine.

Lise Breistein BERGEN, NORWAY

Lise Breistein is a Norwegian artist. Her first approach to art was as a child, with her father, who was an artist by heart. She always admired the beauty of his paintings, and since then wanted to bring the same out herself in her drawings. With a mother who was an art lover and an artist like her dad, she could always count on her family for backup.

Breistein is self-taught, always practicing how to improve and trying a range of different media to express the content of her works. Her works always have meaning to them, usually in a very sensitive and open way to communicate with the viewer. This is the only way she knows to communicate openly. Thoughts, feelings, atmosphere, and particularly parts of human personality are turned into images. The most important content in her art is to show the viewer her inner world, which is the most important for her, and for her to show and share with the observer. After that, if she finds the one person who speaks directly to her work, who understands the content and is captured by it, the communication can start.

Since she was a child, Lise Breistein has worked very hard on always improving her artwork in every way. Eventually, after so many years of work, the world is now seriously starting to notice the unique art by Lise Breistein.

Nadieh Bremer

ABCOUDE, NETHERLANDS

Nadieh Bremer is a data and generative artist living in the Netherlands, freelancing under the name “Visual Cinnamon.” She graduated as an astronomer from Leiden University in 2011 and started working as a data scientist. However, in the following years, she found her true passion in the visualization of data.

As 2017’s “Best Individual” in the Information is Beautiful Awards, she focuses on uniquely crafted visuals for each specific dataset that both engage and enlighten its audience. In 2021, “Data Sketches” was published, a bestselling book she co-wrote about the process of designing highly creative data visualizations and data art based on a year-long personal collaboration.

Over the past years, she’s been gradually moving more towards data art and, since last year, generative art, letting her get even more creative when the constraints of clearly explaining the data can be let go. Focusing instead on the visual appeal, the feeling the works evoke, and how it might still allude subtly to the trends in the underlying data.

• 2021 Book publication (featured in), “Data Sketches,” CRC Press

• 2019 Art award, “Best Data Visualization”, World Digital Media Awards

• 2017 Art award, “Best Individual”, Information is Beautiful Awards

Bremer’s work can often be recognized from the usage of vibrant colour palettes. Furthermore, the scientist within her still loves working with data and concepts related to nature and revealing the beauty of math.

She’s made visualizations and art for companies such as Google News Lab, Sony Music, UNICEF, the New York Times, and UNESCO and has released generative and data art NFT collections on platforms such as Art Blocks, Foundation , and Gen.Art.

Marta Carceller SABADELL, SPAIN

Marta Carceller was born in Barcelona in 1977. Currently, she lives in the same city and works in a small art studio. Carceller is a self-taught artist whose full art dedication started due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Since then, her artwork has been shown in different countries such as Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Greece, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium. Switzerland, Italy, the United States, and Colombia just to name a few.

The subjects of Marta Carceller’s works are varied, from landscapes to portraits. She tries to reproduce everything that makes her feel, vibrate in a special way, and feel alive. She is passionate about making the everyday beautiful. The art of painting allows her to experiment with different materials and textures, but basically, she uses acrylic paint and canvas as support.

She knows how she will start an artwork, but she doesn’t know how it will finish. For her, the act of creating has a clear starting point, but as she progresses and delves deeper into it, it becomes a truly exciting and extremely enriching adventure. Learning and discovery is constant.

As the writer, Jordi Sierra I Fabra, says ,”Art is measured by what you feel when doing it, not by what you get paid for doing it.” This is why Marta is satisfied to be able to transmit to her audience a small part of what she feels in this intimate act of creating when painting surrounds her.

Working predominantly within the medium of acrylic on canvas, Ava Chiba paints with an extreme mastery of technique, unfolding her artworks in a dreamy and imaginative atmosphere. She has a personal and recognisable style that is highly intriguing. Her works is grounded on subtle perception, whilst holding a detailed and process-oriented approach to creating beautiful and beguiling paintings.

• 1994 Education, “Bachelor’s Degree in Communications“, Bavarian Academie for Marketing and Communication, Germany

As a highly sensitive and synesthete, Ava Chiba has the rare gift of being able to perceive information from distance and to reproduce non-visible information - such as music or personality - in color and form. Initially creating artworks that explore the activating e¬ects of symmetry and holistic geometry patterns on the viewer, Chiba’s current practice has developed and evolved to an even more comprehensive visible language: Including explorations on colour theory, oral formations and most recently, investigating into material, has enabled the activation of physical and transient energies through her works continually.

After several years of exploring Ayurveda healing sound’s in her art considerations Ava Chiba has transformed her experience into the ability to create compelling, intuitive portraits in a very new and fascinating way.

Sarah Darke is a Photographic Artist living in Somerset, England, specializing in ‘Lumen’ printing and other ‘camera-less’ processes. After Art College, Darke began a career in Psychiatric Nursing, but sadly, she couldn’t pursue it because of her ill health. However, she went on to retrain in Photography, gaining a ‘Licentiateship’ and later an ‘Associateship’ of ‘The Royal Photographic Society.’ Later, she went on to receive a ‘Master’s Degree in Photography’ at Plymouth University.

Whilst studying, Darke became housebound, and the challenge of a small landscape led her to develop an experimental approach to practice, from which her recent series of ‘Lumen’ prints arose. Darke placed plants she grew directly onto photographic paper, with the image developed by exposure to the sun from 20 minutes to 10 days. Being absorbed in the creative process is both therapeutic and transformational; a single change, such as temperature, or paper, offers infinite possibilities, acting as a metaphor for her situation.

Sarah Darke began exhibiting again in 2019, with a solo exhibition at Bridgwater Arts Centre, Somerset, England, and Internationally in group exhibitions at, ‘M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Milan 2021 , and ‘We Contemporary, at the ‘Musee D’Art, Vienna, 2021 and got published in the catalogue.

Her work has been featured on Instagram @photo_machina’ and ‘Poignant Pics. no.58’ by ‘One Twelve Publishing’; and also published in the book ‘Photography and Visual Culture’. Darke recently became one of the recipients of the ‘International Caravaggio Prize’, Milan, and was published in the accompanying catalogue and ‘Art International Contemporary Magazine’.

Decolorferoz MADRID,

SPAIN

Decolorferoz was born somewhere in the foothills of the Sistema Central mountains. He is younger in spirit than someone his age, and although life has given him few moments to dream and even less to paint, practicing other occupations has not eroded his idealism and has allowed him to learn how to transmit concepts and emotions in an understandable and enjoyable way. He is aware that it is others who decide who is or is not an artist. And, in spite of this, it can be said that his works are not melodies of an abrupt time that swim in the astonishment of the comprehensible. If Decolorferoz ever says anything like that, he may not have any stories left to tell.

Decolorferoz’ works describe clear stories, all complete and different, beautifully told, both emotionally and descriptively, usually critical of some human abuse or scientifically instructive, based on the idea that the principles that govern nature are far more incredible than any creation of the imagination, and closer to the truth than any opinion.

He is new and self-taught in art, which gives his work the spontaneity of innocence, but also the blindness to the already traced paths or even, why not, stupidity.

His weak point is that he tells stories that not everyone likes and that he doesn’t like most contemporary art, perhaps because his own preferences are not universal, perhaps because the distinction of talent is not based on measurable criteria but on opinions and conveniences that few share, or perhaps because the spectacle it now requires is not to his taste. His strength is that the images he paints will displease almost no one, at least until the story they really tell is discovered.

Cécile Degen

SCHILTIGHEIM, FRANCE

Cécile Degen is a talented young artist who hails from Strasbourg, France, although she was born in Cologne, Germany. She has always had a passion for travel and has been fortunate enough to experience many different cultures and landscapes throughout her life. These adventures have given her a sense of freedom but also a sense of anxiety and vulnerability. Degen’s emotions and experiences, including feelings of abandonment, loneliness, and fear of judgment, often find their way into her paintings, which serve as a form of self-expression for her.

Despite never attending art school, Degen has developed her own unique style through years of practice and exploration. She is a sociable person at heart but can be shy and self-conscious when it comes to sharing her work with others. In her downtime, she enjoys immersing herself in nature, listening to music, and spending time with animals. Above all, Cécile Degen is driven by a desire to share her art, her passion, and the many colors that make up her character with the world.

Cheryl-Ann Eamilao EGGENDORF, AUSTRIA

Cheryl-Ann Eamilao was born in 1986 in Vienna, Austria, with Filipino roots. She doesn’t have an art degree and is a self-thought abstract artist, although she has studied Fashion Design and Medical Massage. She found passion in painting in 2022, but creativity has always been part of her life. Since then, Eamilao has been dedicated to art and is focusing on becoming a full-time artist. Painting nourishes her and gives her a lot of energy, and that is what keeps her going. Eamilao found her voice through art, and expressing her emotions and deep thoughts artistically help her heal from the struggles of life.

She paints intuitively as a self-thought abstract artist, never planning her next project beforehand. Expressing herself, her energy, her emotions and her deepest thoughts gives her peace of mind. Her main sources of inspiration are life events, emotions, people, culture, places, nature and everything she finds beauty in.

Each painting is a composite piece of a lot of layers of acrylic and metallic acrylic. Cheryl-Ann Eamilao is fascinated by metallic acrylic that gives the artwork a shiny look, and she uses a lot of gold in her paintings. For Eamilao, gold represents the preciousness of life and the worthiness of human beings.

Zofia Farrell GDANSK, POLAND

Zofia Farrell was born in Gdansk, Poland, and is a psychologist, artist, and philologist. Creativity has been in her bones since childhood, and she has painted using oils, acrylics, watercolours, and ink, as well as pursuing photography and sculpture. She studied art at Ecole des Beaux-arts de Versailles in France, where she used to live and work and for several years. She has also participated in art expositions.

As a psychologist, Farrell studies, observes, and interprets a patient’s world in terms of their mind and behaviour, complexity and depth of emotion, memory, perception, imagination, thinking, and reasoning. She has traveled to many countries, so she is able to understand the world’s diversity, including cultural influences and our different realities.

She finds it fascinating the way in which we absorb those realities, our unique ways of thinking and our values, as well as our beliefs and mindsets. Wherever we look, whether it be to Greek mythology or Thai art and history, there is an inspiration that we can use in our work. For her, this inspiration comes from her worldwide travels and her experience as a psychologist and philologist.

DOBROVO V BRDIH, SLOVENIA

Matjaž Fikfak, also known as Mr. M, was born and raised in Slovenia, where he is currently based. From a young age, he has had a passion for computers and everything tech related. For the past 7 years, he has been working on creating websites as a passionate front-end developer. Currently, he is working as a freelancer, aiming to push the boundaries of technology and create immersive experiences.

Fikfak’s deep connection with music and admiration for visualization are the reasons why he started to express his creative side through the web. After discovering digital art, a whole new level of creativity in the digital space, he was inspired to start experimenting on his own, blending his development experience and know-how with art. At that time, still working at an agency, he used his free time to learn new techniques of art creation with coding.

• 2020 Digital group exhibition, “NFT - New Freedom Think”, M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Milan, Italy

His first art project included different image manipulation effects that ended up framed in the houses of his closest friends. A great admiration for animation led him into the glorious world of generative art, working on various types of creative projects, experimenting with colors, shapes and music effects. With the web evolving into Web3, he started being fascinated by the expansion of his art projects into NFTs. The web gave him the power to generate new worlds.

Simona Florea MALMOE, SWEDEN

Simona Florea is a Romanian/Swedish visual artist, born in Bucharest, Romania 1981, and moved to Malmö, Sweden as a child. Florea is an autodidact and has an academic background in International Relations. During her academic studies and work, which meant moving around a lot, she mainly drew and wrote prose poetry, dreaming of the day when she could have her own studio and start painting. In 2008, when she decided to move back to Sweden, she felt that she could finally fulfill her dream and has since created most of her work in her studio in Malmö. She works with acrylics, mainly on large canvases. Florea’s work is a unique, empowering, and balanced symphony of well-defined lines, pure geometric shapes, and carefully chosen color palettes with the female form as an integral part.

All of Simona Florea’s works come with a message, a story of its own, usually born through her inner self, her observations, and insights that she needs to communicate to the world. In her latest works, as in her everyday life, Florea has strived to combine the pure, rigid, and void of detail with the more intuitive and expressive. She calls it, ‘allowing herself to step out of her own lines and boundaries’.

Florea strives to bring forth light, positivity, harmony, and balance through her work. She hopes to empower us by reminding us of the beauty that every phase of growth and growing aches brings, to inspire us to come in contact with our inner selves, the source of all the beauty in us, and to remind us that the feminine truly is strength and something that we should allow ourselves to awaken to, to cultivate and to be proud of.

Robert John Geng LUDWIGSBURG, GERMANY

Robert John Geng, who has Italian roots, has been an artist and writer for many years. His first book, "Love Letters to God," also deals with the gifts that God gives us. Geng loves to paint with acrylic paints and finds the effect of these colours indescribably beautiful. He also likes to use other materials, such as sand, plaster of Paris, glue, silicone, and anything he finds on inspiring forest walks. He has used these materials to create many acrylic collages on canvas.

One of his favourite techniques is pouring colours with exciting and vibrant hues, as well as more muted tones, and creating blacklight effects. His ideas often come from nature, as well as the people around him who dress in bright colours. Geng has exhibited his work in Genoa, London, Fuerteventura, and several times in Milan.

@robertjohnartist.business

His eyes open his fantasies to every single picture. He believes that one just has to look carefully and let the spirit of the gift run free, because each of his pictures is a mirror of his soul. Everything he creates is an expression of himself and should be a gift to posterity. Through his art, Robert John Geng grants an insight into his soul and the love that is within him, in order to win people over to it. He believes that we are born with love, and that is exactly what he embodies.

Gigi Gigja

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

Gigi Gigja is an Icelandic artist who loves to gather all the inspiring and unique impressions she sees in the world and transform them into beautiful paintings in her Copenhagen art studio. Gigja is touched and inspired by all life that surrounds us; therefore, the theme in her paintings often goes back to life itself, as the greatest inspiration for the artist is the living beings in her surroundings. Sometimes this is expressed in paintings of wild animals she encountered on travels in Africa, such as lions, elephants and crocodiles or smaller animals, such as a beloved cat or rabbit. Other times, Gigja focuses on the people she has met, the faces she sees and the stories they can tell us.

Lately, Gigja has focused on nature itself, primarily by portraying the delicate flowers which surround and sustain us. She paints the flowers on large canvases, allowing her to zoom in close on her subjects and bring out the minute details while painting them with intense observation to make the details more riveting and present. Whether painting flowers, animals or people, what inspires Gigja is the diversity and uniqueness of each motive.

Gigi Gigja works in different mediums, but she always returns to her great love - oil on canvas. By choosing a harmonious colour palette and varying the size of her brush strokes, Gigja creates both a vibrant and dynamic environment in each painting. Painting her subjects with empathy and connection allows the spectators to meet each painting both with mind and heart, feeling each subject’s inner being.

Else Grüsst KÖLN, GERMANY

Else Grüsst (#else grüsst outside of this book) is a German photo artist who was born as Christiana Tschoepe in 1963. She lives and works in the Rhineland and commutes between the cities of Cologne, Bonn and Münster. Even as a young woman, the ambitious amateur photographer often took blurry photos – photos “that others would immediately delete”.

Today Else Grüsst embarks on creative visual journeys through her everyday life – the focus is on people, especially women, in unstaged movement. She took her photos in subways, at train stations, in shopping streets, on escalators. Her photos tell stories – of people rushing to work, hurrying to catch the train, fleeing the rain or strolling towards an appointment.

Away from the mainstream, Else Grüsst photographs according to her own rules. Photos are created that often demand a second look and sometimes irritate the viewer’s expectations: is that supposed to be the case now?

Instead of a frozen movement, which can only be recognized from the context, she creates photos through the movement, the shaking of the camera, which retain their own dynamic through the motion blur – and are alive. In her instagram stories, she complements her photos with music as another “moving” dimension.

Else Grüsst has 2 daughters, is a science journalist and head of communications for a large charity. The first photo book projects are “Farbauftritt”, “Moving Moment”, “Sneak a Peak” and “#else grüsst”.created in cooperation with the photo book designer Mirja Hespe. Another photo book “blurred women” is in progress. Else Grüsst has been publishing her photos on Instagram since 2019.

Bors Györgyi was born in 1977 in Hungary and was raised in state care from the age of 8 to 18. She studied graphics for several years at the Budapest Railway School of Music and Fine Arts. In 2007, she graduated from King Sigismund College with a degree in cultural management.

Györgyi’s master was Kálmán Gasztonyi, from whom she learned various oil painting techniques. That’s when she turned to the arts because she could express her feelings and thoughts through this form. She draws most of her inspiration from herself and her experience. Györgyi considers herself an intuitive and, at the same time, a narrative painter. In her subjects, she mostly displays universal human feelings that are clear anywhere in the world and that we have all experienced in some form. She creates her works by hand with the classic 600-year-old oil painting technique, applying the oil paint to the canvas with a brush.

Bors Györgyi has participated in several domestic and international competitions and exhibitions (Budapest, London, Hong Kong, and New York). One of her works has been included in the public collection of the Hungarian Museum of Circus Art.

His pictures do not have names, allowing viewers to interpret them with their own eyes, free from preconceived notions or distractions. Hoegener’s art is characterised by its attention to detail, unexpected elements, and a crescendo of emotions that cannot be limited by language.

Although Siiri Julge Alvemyr has followed some art courses, she considers herself mostly to be a self-taught artist. She was born in Estonia but has lived in Sweden for most of her adult life. Painting has been a big interest of hers since her childhood. Her art teacher recognized her talent and recommended that she study art, but she didn’t think she was good enough. Instead, she studied finance and has an MBA degree in business. She worked in management positions for fifteen years before she couldn’t ignore the desire to paint any longer and started her own business. For the last seven years, she has been dedicated to painting and , for the most part, has been creating abstract art.

Siiri Julge Alvemyr’s paintings have a direct connection to her daily life, her thoughts, feelings and things that she finds fascinating. In a way, they are the diary of her life, feelings and experiences. That is also the reason why she doesn’t have a specific painting or artistic style or doesn’t use the same media to express herself. In her work, she tries to constantly develop her artistic expression.

Palina Kasino SACHSEN, GERMANY

Palina Kasino is a mixed-media artist living in Leipzig. She grew up in an emigrated family from Kazakhstan. In Cologne, she finished a social science study on social structures, and problems such as gender and migrant-related and capitalism-critical topics represent a large field of her interest. Two years ago, she moved to Leipzig, where she started to take her art career more seriously.

Kasino’s works are mostly collages, and a combination of organic patterns and forms in a mystic and bizarre atmosphere. Black is the ground colour in her analog collages for visual depth and strong contrasts. For reasons of sustainability, she uses second-hand material as much as possible, like illustrations from discarded nature and science magazines or no longer used materials for her sculptures.

• 2021 Book publication (featured in), “Art Anthology Nr.3”, Guto Ajayu Culture Madrid, Spain

Nature and its evolution of infinite types of life and phenomena are a major source of inspiration for her. The analog and digital work are often merged and inseparable. Her favorite way to apply acrylic or ink-based colour is with a roller because it combines a mix of randomness and plainness in the paint application.

In Palina Kasino’s opinion, there’s no sense in reducing oneself to a certain style because being an artist is a constant process of change for her. Art is, for her, a vehicle to express anger and to forget it at the same time. She wants to express a certain depth, and Kasino is totally fine if she polarizes, especially with the gloomy mood.

Charlotte Kerswill UCKFIELD,

UK

Charlotte Kerswill was born in the United Kingdom and currently lives in the South East of England. Her artwork is devoted to the empowerment of the female figure in a variety of styles, showcasing the power of stances that have the ability to enable an outlet of emotion through storytelling.

Kerswill studied art at GCSE and photography at A-level, which helped train her eye for art, but she did not make a move into the art industry until her early twenties when she posted a painting online that generated a lot of unexpected interest. Using this as a motivation, she painted several famous icons, such as; Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, and Cindy Crawford, before moving on to create her own compositions.

A trip to New York in 2008 heightened her sense of the power of the editorial world and stirred an influence of fashion and cultures through time. Charlotte Kerswill strives to encourage the mind to read a story within a piece of art.

TRONDHEIM, NORWAY

Thea Kiær (London, England, 1988) is a Norwegian visual artist based in Trondheim. Based on painting, drawing, printmaking, digital art, knit design, and mixed media techniques, Kiær explores shapes, rhythms, and colours to visualize human thoughts and emotions. She is also wandering around societal issues and visualizes universal messages coming through to the canvas during meditation. Kiær is working very intuitively and creates what comes to her the moment she is in her creative flow. Her paintings are in the intersection between figurative and abstract, while she’s mostly focusing on the human figure and face in her drawings.

Kiær primarily identifies within spiritual art as a spiritual colorist, making healing pieces of art through her delicate use of colors. Some of the themes she likes touching are life, death, and life after death. Being a spiritual soul, Kiær finds a lot of inspiration from the healing vibrations of crystals, but she’s also finding a lot of inspiration from other artists she’s discovering on Instagram.

Katrin Kubbe ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK, SWEDEN

Katrin Kubbe is a mixed-media artist based in the northern part of Sweden. Her interest in art started at a young age. Kubbe´s work is inspired by her journey through life. A big influence comes from the beauty and respect she feels for our planet and the amazing nature that surrounds us.

Kubbe loves the poetic wisdom from traditional scriptures, which she studied and learned for many years living with monks and nuns in the foothills of the Himalayas in India. She takes inspiration from the colors, symbols, and geometrical patterns seen in nature and in Indian art, history, and scriptures.

Katrin Kubbe works mainly with acrylic paint, resin, and alcohol inks. Her work is vibrant, inspiring, and uplifting. From the young age of sixteen, she became vegan for ethical and environmental reasons. The deep care Kubbe feels for animals and the planet we love is reflected in her artworks. She tries to portray the sense of freedom and happiness she wishes everyone to experience.

Joanna Kucia LINCOLSHIRE, UK

Joanna Kucia was born in Czestochowa, Poland, and currently, she lives and works in the UK. She is a visual artist mainly focused on collage techniques. As a child, she loved storytelling, and photography opened a new world for Kucia, allowing her to express her dreams and emotions. Over the years, devoted to photography and photomanipulation, she started her journey with collage. She creates a unique brand of artworks using old photos as well as floral motives to compose surreal images. She writes scenes in her mind and designs them from beginning to end, preferring soft, muted colors in her art pieces which bring a very calming feeling to her audience.

Kucia has been published in the Photographize Magazine twice as the “Best Selected Artist”, Paris Collage Collective publication “Surrealist Dreams 2021.” She has been selected by Photographize as one of the “Featured Artist”. She was also awarded with International Paris Prize. She has exhibited internationally, such as in New York, in Paris at the Carrousel du Louvre, Italy, Spain, and Luxembourg.

Joanna Kucia’s aim as an artist is to tell the truth based on her experience and evoke moods, encouraging reflection and universal symbols that move the viewer. Her creations are not only a window to another world but also a mirror of her dreams and fears. Hence, the surreal world is very close to her heart. She is inspired by many things that are sometimes quite bizarre: books, music, people’s conversations, and artists she likes. She uses digital collages for most of my artworks. Collage, for her, is not only about cutting and pasting, but the process began at the time of collecting, searching, and finding the materials. This is, for her, a way of resurrection.

Carmel Marrinan DUBLIN, IRELAND

Carmel Marrinan, a former gallerist and designer, is now a full time abstract expressionist artist. Through her art, characterised by a shade scale typical of the artistic movements of the first half of the 20th Century, the artist investigates the dynamics of the relationship between matter, colour and the surrounding environment with the aim of representing entirely new experiences. In her practice Carmel Marrinan seems to recall the pictorial tendencies of the Fauves and the Expressionists with bold brush strokes and bright intense colours putting the interiority and the emotions in the foreground.

Inspiration has been found from her travels in particular Italy and West Cork, where she spends much of her time. In her artist’s statement Carme Marrinan says that we have all come from our own individual perspective in how we view and how we create, the magic is in the connection where what we see is what we love, sometimes inexplicably. That often immediate connection between the artist’s work and viewers fascinates her.

Juan Mengual GANDIA, SPAIN

Juan Mengual’s artworks are close to abstraction but not quite. He uses chance, but you can still see recognizable figures. His color palette is quite happy, but most of his paintings have a dark side. This is an artist that has found a place where nothing is what it seems, and nobody makes it like him.

Mengual starts with a stain he makes using different techniques and materials. These techniques involve chance and he uses it to create what he has in his unconscious, but not only his, the common unconscious we all share. He edits the stains, adding and subtracting, as if he is dancing with chance and taking advantage of it. Most of the time, it feels like a joyful game; sometimes, it feels like a fight. It is a subtle balance between his unconscious, chance, and material qualities. Strange creatures appear; some may be funny, others scary, and this makes the narrative appear.

The names of Juan Mengual’s paintings give us a clue of what´s going on, but it is also a game that invites us to participate and get our own interpretation. Every time you see one of his paintings, you discover something new. There is a big stain that looks like something, but as you get closer, you discover new figures and interpretations. You might even get closer and see new ones. This makes that you never get tired of looking at them.

Throughout his career, he has participated in exhibitions, completed art commissions, and exhibited internationally. He has also worked in web design, publishing, and short films.

Anna Emilia Misiak TORUN, POLAND

Anna Emilia Misiak is a professional artist who knows that passion for her work has made her successful in the industry thus far, and it is what drives her to continue developing her artistic skills. She knows and understands how important individual stories are to every project and is 100% motivated and dedicated to her projects.

Anna Emilia Misiak is ruled by the universe and the 4 elements: earth, fire, water and air that surround her and are within her. She feels that they are important to bring balance and manifestation. She has the ability to envision crazy perspectives and bring life to them using the strokes of her brushes on the canvases and believes that it will deeply move her audience and catch their attention.

• 2022 Art prize, “4rd International Bienal de Arte”, European Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona, Spain

Anna Emilia Misiak’s paintings exhibit a dynamic progression, which is shown in their natural perspective relief, rich colours, lively lighting, and immediate visual sense. While stressing specifics and tonalities in a universal ethos of perceptual impressions and an infinite variety of colour gradations, relative objectivity coincides with absolute subjectivity. Misiak is successful in laying out a route that begins with the special connection between the painter and her creation with the intention of identifying and accentuating the matter’s structure and turning it into a tangible work of art.

Evi Neumaier VILSBIBURG, GERMANY

Evi Neumaier is a German artist and was born in Landshut in 1995. She has had a zeal for art since she was a child. What started with simple works of art developed into a passion over the years.

Neumaier is becoming increasingly enthusiastic about acrylic paints and working with them. With water, brush, palette knives and mixed paints, she creates abstract and colourful works of art that arouse imagination and stimulate curiosity. The colors flow into each other and thus create further color nuances that give the painting depth and a story. Invisible worlds arise that want to be discovered. She finds inspiration primarily in nature. Flora and fauna offer her a wide variety of motifs and color spectrums. Colours and experimenting with them are a passion of Neumaier.

During her studies in business informatics, Neumaier developed an enthusiasm for designing works with digital media. Playful, colorful and gaudy animal motifs with geometric shapes were created. Here, too, one notices the affection for the different colours and their interplay.

Her vision is to evoke feelings with the artworks. Memories should be awakened, and a desire to discover new things should be born. In addition to her work as a software developer, Evi Neumaier became self-employed as an artist in 2021. She currently lives and works in a rural area near her birthplace.

Evelyn Rier

EGNA, ITALY

Evelyn Rier was born in South Tyrol, Italy. After completing elementary and middle school, Rier attended the Scientific Lyceum J. Ph. Fallmerayer in Brixen. After graduation, she gathered professional experience and success in finance and project management. She still loves to pursue her two passions: Climbing in the South Tyrolean Dolomites and the creation of artistic works, coming up with her first acrylic paintings, “Hand Ball” and “Tulips Upside Down”.

In 2022, Evelyn Rier was inspired by the strong colors of well-known artists such as Franz Marc, Hokusai and Dalì and developed a technique to create new artistic works. Always strongly connected to nature, she recycles polyester panels and textiles, as she believes in treating the planet with respect. The technique consists of incorporating unused textiles into recycled polyester surfaces, and in some works, are added acrylic paintings. The Four Elements - Fire, Earth, Air and Water are created, one work which consists of four images.

Sunsets are only made with textiles on polyester panels. Evelyn tries to capture the vibrant colours of nature in the Dolomites and reproduce them on recycled surfaces. She wants to figure the contemporary egocentrism and its effects on spirit and nature.

Noa Ry ZURICH, SWITZERLAND

Computer components are always present in Noa Ry’s Life. She creates sculptures, 3D paintings, robotic art, animations, installations and video art and can work with any material. A look into the future is what’s important to the artist. That’s why Noa Ry invented the term DIVORG - a dividing organism.

From a cultural study perspective, the DIVORG is the continuation of Donna Haraway’s theory of the “cyborg”. But Noa Ry believes there is a need for a new term for the human species of the 21st century. She believes that we are not controlled by technology anymore but have merged with it, and so have our identities, and that we have to be able to divide to survive in this fast and loaded world of information. We have to be a DIVORG - a dividing organism.

• 2022 Art prize, “Most Original Idea“, Bruxelles Art Vue, Bruxelles, Belgium

• 2022 Group exhibition, “Animations DIVORG”, Itsliquid group, Venice, Italy

In Noa Ry‘s more recent works, the artist has continued to draw the possibilities of merging “analog” and “digital” by animating existing art works. Through further development of animation, 3D paintings and sculptures can come to life. This is deliberately only done with the iPhone as a tool, which has become indispensable in the world.

The artist’s interest lies in the melting point between technology and human flesh and how the subject reacts, gets involved and merges. Working with real face time animation mapping, Noa Ry reproduces her facial expressions and thus penetrates her 3D painting/sculpture again into the depths of the total fusion of art and artist. Technology and human flesh.

Bente Røyseth OSLO,

NORWAY

Bente Røyseth is a Norwegian mixed media artist who has lived and worked in different countries, such as Canada, Denmark, England, Thailand and Norway. Røyseth welcomes new challenges and opportunities and has had several careers and businesses. Her last job was as a graphic designer for 15 years in Oslo and then for 5 years in Thailand. Before moving to Thailand, she established and ran her own graphic design company for 12 years.

As an artist, Bente Røyseth is mostly self-taught and started painting in 2003 while still working as a graphic designer. She has been painting full-time since 2017 and has embraced her passion for abstract expressionism. She finds immense freedom painting this way as there is no specific goal to be reached, and her art is constantly evolving. To her, painting is more about energy, gesture, movement, intuition and colour choices.

Acrylics is her medium of choice, but she also uses graphite, charcoal, oil pastels, acrylic inks, markers and crayons to enhance her work and create contrast, interest, shapes, layers and depth. Røyseth doesn’t intentionally pursue any specific themes; however, energies via everyday encounters and experiences are her inspiration. Her creative process is about vibrations and emotions that need to be revealed. She transfers these energies into often intuitive bold colour choices, as well as expressive brushstrokes, which may be bold, dynamic, deliberate, quick, soft or gentle. Many layers of paint are laid down on the substrate before it’s finished.

Bente Røyseth has showcased her works at several exhibitions, both domestically as well as internationally.

Krister Selander

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

Krister Selander started sketching and painting after making a tiny sketch of his dog on a napkin while he was on a date; the date said that he should keep it up and get going! And he did. This was five years ago.

After just pen and paper, Selander slowly tried using watercolor and oil. Now it’s a mixed media. The motive was to start with places he had been and people he met or knew. As of today, he mostly does rockstars and some movie stars since he, himself, is an active musician and has been for his whole life. Selander knows what Gibson Frank Zappa’s signature looks like, how Lita Fords explorer looks, and what boots she walks in.

The most common comment about his art is that a smile appears on your face when you look at it. In the spring of 2022, he had his first vernissage. He’s trying to find places that match his art, and in the merits’ list you’ll find a selection of them.

Krister Selander started out with paper, and the standard measure was 40x50 cm. But just recently, he’s started painting on canvas. He has done a lot on commission, and the money he makes goes right back to art and music.

Hope you enjoy his work and that it brings a smile to your face when you see it; what more can he ask.

Shibìria KLAGENFURT, AUSTRIA

Born in September 1985, Shibìria is a self-taught Austrian artist, and she has drawn since her earliest childhood. After experimenting with pencils, colour pencil, oil, charcoal and watercolour, she found out that color pencil and watercolor are definitely her preferred media.

Shibìria studied romance languages in Vienna, and while she discovered foreign cultures and mentalities through lectures and encounters, she decided to leave Austria in order to go to Berlin, where she got acquainted with a more unconventional and artistic lifestyle. And she was deeply impressed and inspired by completely new ideas which captured her thoughts.

The source of inspiration for her works are weird dreams, androgynous faces, human animals, and abnormal beings. Shibìria is obsessed with the creation of her own little idealistic cosmos within a rough but refreshing reality. She loves opposites and extremes, the contrast between black and white – and in the middle of it all: colour explosion.

Always searching for herself, Shibìria discovers and rediscovers things as they are or as they seem to be, arranging and rearranging them according to her taste to give them a different meaning in life. And those newly awakened creatures are frightening and exhilarating and exciting at the same time. Drawing is therapy for Shibìria, as well as surviving. Paper gives her comfort. As long as she can express herself through drawing, in Shibìria‘s eyes, the world is a better place to be.

Gergana Stoyanova SOFIA, BULGARIA

Gergana Stoyanova is a Bulgarian artist. After she graduated from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, majoring in Mural Painting, she participated in a number of national and international exhibitions. The artist creates both paintings, inspired by naturalistic landscapes, and mosaics ranging from various materials, such as enamels, ceramics, marble, and terracotta, and by combining them in different sizes and plot compositions. The process of working and creating mosaics has become a therapeutic way for the artist to express herself and her soul.

As far as painting is concerned, we can see representations of similar landscapes, which capture the artist’s pictorial experience. The oil paintings enhance the perspectives and the chromatic overlapping. Through these representations, the artist transmits not only visual images but also moods, such as calm, peace and vitality. These are artworks full of energy, where it is possible to capture the warmth of the sun’s rays to recharge ourselves. The strokes are thick, and decisive and fill all the spaces of the canvas. The touches of color make the paintings full and rich in perspective, with a reference to Expressionism. Moving away from it, in fact, it is possible to grasp the representation as a whole in order to fully enjoy it.

Nina Svenda ZAGREB, CROATIA

Nina Svenda, also known as Crna Nina was born and raised in north Croatia in 1990, from where she significantly took the course of her path in the art world. She was mentored by Robert Wrana, a Hungarian artist, as a part of the elementary school program. Later, she continued to experiment with artistic expression through film and other media as part of the high school program.

Tempera and graphite was Svenda’s first choice, which she heavily used for fine art drawing and painting during her college days. She studied Media and Visual Communications in Maribor, Slovenia, at FERI, where she took a career as a Software Engineer in later years.

As she was growing up, influenced by the artistic world around her, she rebelled against structure, perfectionism, realism, and composition, because of the academic program that she found as a form of oppression and the death of free expression. That led her to experiment and translate the current state of mind to the canvas with acrylic-based media.

Textured gel, modeling paste, and acrylic paint are her choices to do so. As Nina Svenda progressed in her work, she found that the occurring theme is almost always nature or glimpses of it in abstract work. Geometry and chaos are always present as she observes her work, but she will for sure try out whatever comes to her mind when she decides to grab a palette knife and paint.

While painting, Patrick Wenzel enjoys listening to a range of music genres, including blues, classical, jazz, caribbean, rap, soul, and turntablism. He primarily works with acrylic paint using brushes, palette knives, or a combination of both. He enjoys creating organic flows, figures, or objects that can be interpreted in different ways.

Tania Winther

TRONDHIEM, NORWAY

Tania Winther is a multi-media artist, designer, and interior designer, located in Trondheim, Norway. Her creative expression finds inspiration through her interdisciplinary approach to all designs, illustrations, paintings, linocuts, and woodcuts. With a wide background in both the sciences and the arts, she provides the viewer with great amusement and interest.

Winther’s newest passion is working with D.G.A (digital graphic art) using techniques within, somewhat a cross between structuralism and pop art, creating cityscapes, among more. This represents more the bright and merrier side of her than her other creations.

• 2019–2021 Education, Norsk Interiørskole (Norwegian School of Interiors), Oslo, Norway

• 2018–2020 Education, Sydney Design School, Sydney, Australia

• 2005–2007 Education, “Graphic Design”, Norges Kreative Fagskole, Stavanger, Norway

An instinctive closeness to beauty and the struggle for survival is at work in the original artwork of Winther. Although she has studied design, illustration, and graphic design, she is an autodidact painter. Her passions expand to using a multitude of mediums and materials in her creative process. Gathering samples by taking memory shots through a camera lens on a site, of a person, or a place often leads to inspiration for a new canvas or design. Finding quirky, deformed samples in nature through rocks, sand, and driftwood is aweinspiring for Winther’s new ideas.

Tania Winther believes that ugliness is beauty by another name. Its essence is as pure as that of beauty, and its significance is no less important than beauty. Ugliness and beauty share the same core of being.

Having been raised almost nomadic, traveling the world and living in several countries since childhood, she believes it puts an imprint in one’s mind and makes them see the world a little differently. She often finds her observations and impressions of things in everyday life to differ significantly from others’ impressions.

Mariola Wroblewski

PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN

Coming from a family of artists, Mariola Wroblewski didn’t take up art for a long time. She studied Scientific Information and is more involved with science professionally than with art.

Growing up, she has always found herself in an atmosphere of art, the scent of colors and design, but it’s only when she was in Mallorca that she really started to paint intensely. Influences from Polish, German, Spanish, and Arabic cultures can be felt in her art works. Different cultures between different light sources in Dubai, Duesseldorf or Mallorca and thousands of images have tumbled in her head and inspired her to try and bring them all onto the canvas. Acrylic pouring with fluid gold or a leaf of gold is currently her favourite.

Mariola Wroblewski’s works fully represent her as they capture her feelings and emotions, and she tries her best to create a relationship between her works and people who observe her visual work. This knowledge should touch the psyche and hearts.

Mariola Wroblewki’s paintings are always described by critics as an explosion of color and emotion. She doesn’t like to talk too much about herself, as she believes her pictures tell those stories for her.

Anna Åström MADRID, SPAIN

There are two things in life that have always given Anna Åström a very special energy – zest for life – nature and creating.

Anna Åstrom was born in Sweden, and she still remembers the birch trees on the way to climbing the mountain behind the house, the lake where she went for summer night swims , and the creek with the bottomless well that never froze in wintertime. She remembers the abandoned lambs that she had to bottle-feed in spring and the yellow fields of dandelion. These are all the memories that she keeps in the back of her mind and cares for, as these tiny images are treasures and her inspiration for countless hours of drawing, painting, and fantasizing.

At the age of 14, Åstrom got the opportunity to present her paintings for the first time. After that, through studies and early working life, followed several exhibitions and collaborations.

Now, for many years, Åstrom has been living and working in Spain. Exhibiting watercolor miniatures in Europe since 2016, she has a permanent collaboration with Juca Claret Art Gallery in Madrid. Next to her studio, she has a workshop for handmade silver jewellery, where she also incorporates watercolour miniatures. Åstrom has also published several illustrated poetry books in Spanish and Swedish.

Painting miniatures is how Anna Åstrom pays special attention to the tiny things, as she believes that small things make life big. She believes that they make such a big difference in the right place at the right time, like a drop of water, a bumblebee, or just a smile.

Martin Bergeron COQUITLAM, CANADA

Martin Bergeron is a self-taught abstract artist born in Ottawa, Canada, in the year 1988. He discovered his artistic talent after leaving a troubled existence and embarking on a journey that led him to overcome his inner demons. We can see it portrayed in his works as he recounts this difficult but cathartic path. He primarily works with acrylic, aerosol enamel, and charcoal on canvas or drywall.

Feeling stuck in a materialistic trap he considers this life to be, Bergeron embarked on a journey to free himself from the emptiness he had been nurturing up to that point. On his path to true happiness, he realised that art has the power to improve people and the world we live in.

From that moment on, Martin Bergeron decided to use his works of art to send subliminal messages to the subconscious of his viewers, with the aim of inspiring moments of epiphany in them and using them as a means to bring change in society as a whole. Above all, painting is a way for him to transcend beyond the limits imposed by life.

Christopher Scott Brown SAN DIEGO, USA

Born and raised in Louisville, KY - Christopher Scott Brown studied Communications at The University of Louisville before receiving a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Argosy University in San Diego, CA. He was always captivated by art, and that’s really what his heart was set on. Christopher Scott Brown always loved drawing and painting throughout his life. He enjoyed watching Bob Ross as a kid on the public access tv channel, who was his biggest influencer, and that is what made him take art more seriously in 2016 - he began self-developing his skills. He believes the first step to becoming an artist is to just go for it; develop an idea, buy everything you need, set up a work area, and just jump in.

Christopher Scott Brown loves art because it is infinite, and there is always something new to be created. It is an addictive feeling for him to finish an artwork, and he wants to keep making more.

He loves working with all paint mediums, along with bright and fluorescent colors. He is inspired by movements and loves to create works where you can feel the flow. Sometimes he combines acrylic colours with, for example, pebbles and glitter.

Valeri Cranston GRANBURY, USA

Contemporary artist Valeri Cranston began her journey into art at the age of 7 in piano class. Bored with the lessons, she began to draw on the music sheet. A call from the piano teacher to her mother soon got her out of piano class and into an oil painting class, and she immersed herself in all things art from that point forward.

Cranston graduated from the University of Tulsa with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. With an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences as well, she also worked in the healthcare profession with critically ill babies and children in Oklahoma and then in Texas. Throughout that time, she continued to work in graphic arts while developing her painting skills further.

Cranston has taught art classes and has been invited to do demonstrations of her work throughout Texas. She has had several solo shows and has been in many juried art exhibits not only in Texas but also in Canada, Spain and Italy. She has gallery representation here in Granbury, Texas, Cambridge, UK, Fuerteventura Canary Islands, and Milan, Italy.

Valeri Cranston has always been a creative person, with art and nature being her refuge. She approaches her work with just a color palette and no subject, working layer by layer for true spontaneity.

Her work is a culmination of almost 60 years of painting in all kinds of mediums and styles. After retiring, Cranston dove back into art full time and has found Abstract Expressionism to be the song she has always wanted to sing.

Minori K. Evans

KAPAA, USA

Minori K. Evans was born in Osaka, Japan but has now been living on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, for 21 years. She grew up in the scent of Sumi-ink under the care of her grandfather, who was a monk and psychic and copied sutras. Minori K. Evans graduated from the Department of Architecture and Space design and has since been fascinated by the world of Antonio Gaudi. After working as a director of graphic design, writer, and Magazine editor, she was introduced to art.

Evans has her own style, Bokusho-art, that draws with a feeling. Also, she is a Hula dancer performing a fusion of Hula and Sumi-art. The unique style of drawing on Sumi-dyed cloth and using tools made from natural elements also creates a unique world.

After Minori K.Evans moved to Hawaii, she became a core practitioner of traditional Hula and traveled around Europe, Japan, America, and all Hawaii islands to share Hula and Aloha spirit. Drawing with her art that continued beside her other activities is what brought her back to the artistic and creative world.

Jiawei Fu

LOS ANGELES, USA

Jiawei Fu was born in Guangzhou, China. Since the very beginning of her memory, the word “communication” has never left her life. Her family always taught that “language” was not the only way to talk to others. It can be done in a gesture, expression, or even a long laugh. At the age of sixteen, Jiawei came to the United States by herself. Facing the barriers between different languages and cultures, she started to find a better way that let various groups communicate with each other.

Where are we holding on to our emotions when facing the cold screen 24/7? Keeping and bringing the question with her, Jiawei started to apply the Interior Design concept to painting.

• 2022 Group exhibition, “Lowe House Office Building,” Maryland Federal Art, M.D., U.S.A.

Jiawei Fu then became an interior designer who explored the relationships between human and non-human existence through her paintings. Her works blend a surreal interpretation of the aforementioned relationship and egg yolk driven pigmentations. She utilizes the understated medium of keeping a diary, turning her personal entries into visualized reflections initially on her surroundings and gradually and eventually on herself. Jiawei Fu wishes to carve through the relentlessness and ignorance arising from the underappreciation of a certain sameness and the subtle uniqueness through the depiction of mundanity. It starts as the reflection of the surroundings and ends as the reflection of oneself. The only reaction that the artist needs is the viewer’s emotion.

Shaleen Garba ATLANTA, USA

Shaleen Garba is a contemporary artist based in Atlanta, GA, who communicates her art through the language of color, organic shapes, and expressive mark-making. In addition to traditional brushes, she uses pallet knives, spray bottles, or her fingers to help scratch the painted surface. She continues to explore her relationship with paint and the various tools she uses. It’s a never-ending journey of humility, confidence, and pleasure.

Garba wanted to be an artist from a young age, as evident in her thirdgrade autobiography homework back in 1994. She attended the Academy of Art University, concentrating in fine arts. Influenced by Pablo Picasso’s Rose Period, Garba uses cheerful orange and pink hues to show play and lightheartedness. For Shaleen Garba, making art is an essential, emotional declaration when words won’t do.

What interests Shaleen Garba is the intuitive use of bold brushstrokes and shapes on top of delicate layers that pay homage to life’s jubilance. Her paintings create energetic work that’s a celebration! The images are not precalculated but organically formed as the paint, pencil, oil stick, and water meet the canvas. She wants to create liberating and purposeful work that brings the emotion of joy, allowing anyone experiencing the piece to look at seemingly haphazard marks and understand its beautiful reason for being there.

Her work has been displayed at the Atlanta College of Art in Atlanta, GA, New York City’s Times Square billboards, the Sewell Mill Cultural Center and Serendipity Labs, Atlanta for her solo exhibitions, Yonkers, New York, the M.A.D.S. Art Gallery in Milan, Italy, the Art 4 You Gallery in Dubai, Collective 131 Gallery, Create!Magazine, AI-Tiba 9 Contemporary Art Magazine and many juried shows.

Erick Mota

FREEHOLD, USA

Erick Mota is a Venezuelan-American fine artist born and raised in New York City. With disciplinary inspirations ranging from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Paul Cezanne, Mota’s work – an amalgam of modernism, surrealism, and the abstract – not only reflects the world around him but the inner workings of those inhibiting that world, their most wicked demons and noble aspirations. Erick Mota is both an astute student of life and disciplined at his core, holding a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Organizational/ Industrial psychology, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Organizational Leadership. As a longtime psychology student, Mota loves to integrate psychological aspects to create visually appealing paintings that come with many interpretations using an oil medium.

Erick Mota consistently enjoys working mainly with oil paints because of the freedom and flow that the medium allows. His work encapsulates psychological aspects of human tendencies, the natural world, and feelings and emotions expressed in a constant search for the best way to interpret the world in which we live. He tries to capture universal human themes such as love, death, joy, humor, spirituality, fear, birth, and the variabilities of experiences entailing altered states of consciousness or grips on reality in his works.

She hopes that her art takes people on an unexpected journey, where one can look at everyday situations in an unexpected way; where perceived space is filled with shapes, colour and interest.

Karen Robb finds herself exploring the interplay between shape, line, form and space, and her imagination follows the path that her brush takes her on until she finally discover where a piece is taking her. When the dance between these elements converges to complete the final image, the end result often surprises her.

Dylan Wilson is a self-taught artist, and ever since he was young, he has always wanted to explore his imagination through the world of wonder and creativity. His works of art bring out very spiritual and visionary meanings. Wilson spends a lot of time dedicated to his passion and detail, and most of his ideas come from being observant of the world around him. He loves exploring the idea and meaning of “truth.” Dylan Wilson, with his works, is hoping to bring joy back to what he feels is broken in the world. Over the past 3 years, he has done projects to counter corruption or sadness and decided to play his part in spreading happiness and help through the medium he knows best; art. With the rise in mental health problems and distrust in the world, Dylan Wilson has taken it upon himself to share his wisdom and try to bring good out with what he can do.

Wilson is known to be a very inquisitive person. He looks closely at what happens in the world we live in now—at every action and its reaction. He uses these strategies to find what makes sense to the questions he has. Like why people hate each other, What causes feelings to happen, and so on. Dylan Wilson’s main motive for art-making was to help himself grow creatively and better himself as a person in the midst of ongoing despair.

Maria Andrea Dato BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

Maria Andrea Dato production is centered on the Human Being and its emotions. A deep inner search framed in expressionist style. She has been attracted to art since she was a child, eager to play with different materials, relieves and textures. In essence, making art has defined her.

Her artwork consisted in a permanent search and experimental activity. The nature and human figure observation it´s her constant practiced, (the last one in drawings jams with live model).

Dato´s work does not involve planning and previous thinking. It is the paint itself, in this case synthetic enamel, that flows dynamically and free on the canvas to build the idea that results in the piece, frequently surprising even her with the final result.

She ordered the colors following an emotional and sensitive criterion, in a formal game where the paint flows in a dynamic and unpredictable way. Her extremely enjoyed in dripping the enamel on the canvas is linked to Jackson Pollock ´s “action painting”.

First, she starts drawing the image, then the game with the paint is to loosed the figure to get it back again. In a permanent construction and destruction. Chaos and control, control and chaos and so on.

“My own flight” becomes from a series of winged women and men, who after living painful experiences, achieve spiritual enrichment, evolved and were able to spread their wings. She is currently working on the development of the “Fallen Angels” series.
