Andrea Castaneda WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM
Andrea was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras and her beginnings as an artist were from a very young age, like any girl she played with dolls and stuffed animals. But, she also always had colored pencils and drawing paper by her side. Her parents always supported her art career from a young age and she made her very first mural at the age of 13 for the Royal Kids of America San Pedro Sula School and her first job as an illustrator in Calderon Publicidad company. However, there were some bumps along the road, when she started high school she became the subject of bullying, but she used this negative energy to help grow her talent. When her classmates bothered her, she took refuge in her drawings. She built her world of colors and that helped her to cope with the difficult time she was going through. When she went to high school she was enrolled in swimming and karate classes. She did not like Karate classes that much but, perhaps she thought that by learning a martial art she could defend herself from her classmates. Karate is a discipline in which you learn respect for yourself and for others, so although she became a good fighter, she did not use her physical advantage against the bullies to defend herself, on the contrary, her discipline taught her to maintain control. Andrea did not have an easy adolescence, her parents divorced and then suddenly her mother received a job opportunity in Mexico, so the whole family moved there. At the age of 15 she remembers her father Piedesign as her mentor from a distance. However, coming to Mexico proved go be a great challenge, the bullying increased because of her Honduran accent and the fact she was a foreigner, but even so she continued painting.

Andrea Castaneda WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM Andrea sold her first painting at the age of 15, then she followed her passion for comics and did some professional ones with her sister. known as MK Joe who is a professional illustrator. Andrea then continued her art career studying at Savannah College of Art & Design where she studied illustration for a year. She continued studying graphic design when she returned to Mexico and at the same time worked as an illustrator for several foreign companies, illustrating children’s e-books and participating in comic creation contests with her sister. After Mexico, Andrea traveled back to Honduras in order to sort out her documents to go and study in Italy. She wanted to be a painter there and experience something new in a new country. The process became complicated as Honduras had political problems and so she stayed longer there and she was suggested by her mother to travel to Roatan island, a short boat ride away from the honduran coast. Here is where she decided to have a sabbatical year and travel during 2018. Living on this island is something that she will always remember as her beginnings as a muralist.

Andrea Castaneda WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM One day she decided to put her easel on the street in the West End of the Island and started painting in front of many people so they would know who she was. Then, a small restaurant called ‘Off the Hook’ hired her to paint murals, signs, artistic paintings on wood, tables and countless things. They gave her the opportunity to transform their restaurant into an art gallery. After the word spread, a lot of places began hiring her, different restaurants, bars, Dive shops and more to paint them beautiful murals to brighten up their place. As her amount of work grew the people from the island recognized her as an artist and her works were listed, the population of the island recognized me as “Andrea the Artist”. She remembers that she felt very proud when her mother, father and nana, on different dates, came to visit her to the island. She also worked with a famous artist from Honduras named Brion James and his band The Scallywagz. She painted several times live while they played music. It was one of the best experiences of her life combining music and art. https://www.instagram.com/andreacastanedaart/?hl=es WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM

Given their Experience in life, they have managed to establish better priorities, they are people from whom you can ask for advice, they are very patient, tolerant and merciful. she characterizes herself as being a sensitive person and like any artist our feelings are on the surface. Having grown up surrounded by the love of her grandparents and her nanny has allowed her to identify with people of the same generation. The image that she has of her grandparents and nanny is of hard-working people, they are people that she loves and values a lot, in their eyes she always appreciates the different emotions that transmit to her feelings of happiness, joy, sadness, pain, fear, hope, graciousness and determination. These are feelings and emotions that she always tries to capture in her paintings.

For her eyes, through her paintings show how to make a tribute to their courage and strength. When she paints animals with the elderly, she feels that she has achieve a perfect harmony in A painting because animals have a pure, innocent look without malice and I also see the same pure look in the elders. She often adds many flowers and nature to complete that communion, the flowers, they are beautiful and with their happy colors. She wants to convey that same joy to those who can appreciate her paintings.

St lle Skygger WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM " I was started to painting when i am 8 years old. In this years i use watercolors, acrylics and oil colors. Now, i have a five years of professional experience in Fine Arts. Also I am working with couple of International Store to sell my art prints and products. As an artist, I have worked with many mediums, but with a focus on oil painting in an impressionist style. I continue to refine my technique and find new ways to capture the beauty around us. I believe that your program would be a great opportunity to find new inspiration in a different environment than I’ve experienced in the past. I produce a wide variety of works. Some of my works are Surrealist, some are Dark Art and some are Fantasy art. I have a very diverse mood, which of course reflects on my art. Although I have started to produce works in the Pre-Raphaelite style in recent years, if I need to define a general definition, I can say New Contemporay Art. My paintings have appeared in couple of local galleries as well as several galleries across the country and my artwork is currently featured on many Art Magazines and Zines. I have been more impressed by what I have read since my childhood. I am very impressed by fantastic books, fairy tales and mythological works. This pushes me into my easel quickly. And i am huge fan of Horror – Fantasy movies, they feed my Art a lot. My theme is usually based on contrasts. In most of my works, I try to use colored backgrounds and try to work the portraits are cold. This is for me about my belief in the "Yin Yang Philosophy" philosophy. Most of my paintings have a fairytale theme, but a slightly darker side, like the Brothers Grimm. It's fabulous, but dark. ". www.redbubble.com/people/stilleskygger/shop WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM

D lemma WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM I am a Danish artist from the western part of Jutland: where the North Sea eats through the sand dunes bit by bit, where nature flattens to moorland by the cold west wind and the crows turn to shelter. I am educated with a master in arts specialized in aesthetic practice and performance culture from an anthropological approach. As an artist I performing fine art pencil drawings (with the occasional add of mixed media) - yet pushing the traditional expectations towards pencil drawings by bringing it to the scene of new contemporary. My works probably bear much of the Nordic melancholy: a type of noir if you please - or what could be defined as surrealisme & magic realisme. Currently I am inspired by the simplicity yet decadent portrayals of saints in the religious art. I am working on a collection that I like to call Âťthis is my religionÂŤ consisting of large scale pencil drawings combined with gold leaf. The aim is to illustrate all these common grounds that should unite our differences no-mater if you are religious, believe in unicorns, in science or simply aware of not believing.

A highlight is the collaboration with the design studio Livingshop in the autumn of 2019, where I was invited to decorate a danish design classic: The Piet Hein Super Ellipse table. This collaboration became a series of performances where visitors of the design studio could experience art coming alive as a tale patiently revealing itself on the surface of the table, until it was completed in January 2020. Most recent project is a light instalation for a window decoration that will be revealed this christmas ano 2020.

Exclus ve Interv ew w th V. WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM - Hello Dear V. Thank you for g v ng us the chance to Interv ew w th you. Our f rst quest on s how the “Quarant ne” affects your art?
- "Thanks to you Marvelous Art Gallery ! I can’t tell you I’m personally affected by the quarantine because I used to work at home with my cats. I can’t note real changes. However, all the events are canceled, so people can’t see my Artworks if they don’t follow me on instagram or on my website. As all the artist, artisan and little brand, we have to communicate more and more to be seen. Life is not as it must be, but we have to deal with it and keep creating while waiting for better days to come. ". - Can you tell us a l ttle b t about yourself and what drove you to choose art as a career?
- "I was born in Nancy, in France, I moved to Paris ten years ago. I worked in fashion industry before, I was fashion designer in Haute Couture and readyto-wear, then artistic director. Six years of intensive work in fashion industry, it’s a good recipe for burnout. After that, I needed to do something positive for myself. I decided to make eye portraits of people I met who lend an helping hand during my lifetime. I was already fascinated by the eyes when I was a child, so it was a good compromise. I started by family eyes and friends, then, older teachers, then unknown people met in the street. I created instagram profil and past stickers in Paris street. Then, people ask me for stickers and I sent them in worldwide and they sent me picture of my stickers where they were, my art traveled a lot and some people asked for their eyes.". http://www.eyebyv.com/ WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM

We agree that “Eyes are w ndows to the soul” quote and we want to hear your op n on on th s subject too. Can you tell us more about your nfluences and your nsp rat ons about the “Eyes” ?
- "I found eye drawings made in 1998. All my family members told me I had inherited eyes of my grandmother, they used the word «stole » as I stole her eyes. It’s a strange turn of phrase. Anyway, I started to draw eyes and take pictures of my eyes, of my friends. I was obsessed with eyes, each eye I painted were different with his particularities, his colors. Eyes are means of expression, when you look someone directly into the eyes, it’s a special feeling, each time different. I’m particularly interested in the iridology, it’s an ancient science to evaluate the health of people through their eyes. It’s an interesting demonstration of this quote, iris is transparent, it’s literally a window of soul. I’m lucky to make this job, I’m eye portraitist, I meet all the time new wonders of nature. I spread a little bit of my soul when I paint eyes of others.". - You ma nly work w th o l pa nts. Can you share a l ttle b t about your creat ve process?
- "In fact, I used to work with acrylic but everybody think that’s oil paint because I put a lot of successive layers and I dilute a lot paint to have transparence, light and shades. My process is simple. Frist I draw eye on my canvas with picture of this one in front of me and then I start painting, I try to find first layer of each color, I structure with light and shades and I detail progressively.The most important is not the technical it’s what I feel when I paint.".

My artistic path stems from the need to bring out a deep sense of restlessness, to make it tangible and decipherable even for myself. In a completely irrational way I started to create informal abstracts with an apocalyptic imprint, gathering huge nebulae in the background, similar to an oncoming storm. I dragged this "storm" into all my paintings, representing it ever closer and gloomy. In my vision it was a huge "alien" mass, because I myself considered it a constant but foreign presence, not known. At a certain point in my artistic growth I felt the need to take a step back, to look to the past and research the technique and concreteness of the great baroque masters. From that moment on I began to introduce physical elements, more tangible, without ignoring the constant need to immerse them in this now incipient abstract storm. Following the flow of these experiments, I concentrated my intentions on the fusion of my need for expressiveness and also for rationality. My research and my path are therefore based on the cohesion of my emotional experiences (informal abstract) with the concreteness and cultural baggage of my external experiences (hyper realism) with the aim of making them not only coexist in the same environment but to make them get close to the point of being able to create a third form that embodies my duality as a person and as an artist. https://www.instagram.com/demianartist/ WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM

Exclus ve Interv ew w th May Heathen WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM Hello Dear May Heathen. Thank you for giving us the chance to Interview with you. Our first question is how the “Quarantine” affects your art? Thank you so much for having me! Well, on a practical level the quarantine gave me a chance to spend more time in my studio and get a better feel for what would it be like if I could “do art” fulltime. I was quite happy to lock myself away and just paint the days away. Unfortunately the outside world made it’s way in anyway, and it kind of broke me down on a psychological level. I felt sad and frustrated and often impotent because there was not much I could do to change the situation. The result was the “Suspended” series, a line of portraits where I would explore and excorcise the negative feelings that quarantine and the whole pandemic situation brought me. When it comes to the subject matter of your work, what draws you to those themes? I have always been interested in psychological aspects of human existence and interaction. In my everyday life I’ve always found myself analysing and questioning the motives behind my own behaviour and also behaviour of others, so I draw from my own experience for most of my work. Although my portraits are not self-portraits, they are quite autobiographical. I paint female subjects because being a girl is what I know, and I paint them as if they are feeling what I am feeling, so it often feels like keeping a journal, but on canvas and available to everybody to read. I am also very much fascinated by psychiatric aspects of human mind, the pathologies, mental disorders and illnesses, the criminal mind and all that, and I used to incorporate much of my exploration of that kind of suffering in to my work.

Exclus ve Interv ew w th May Heathen WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM - What are you working on at the moment?
- "I started a YouTube channel a year ago where I post timelapse videos of my painting process. It is an ongoing project and a learning experience on video recording and editing, so I am often busy with that. I browse the web for photography and video making blogs and tutorials, and am currently trying to figure out how to be more natural in the voiceovers I started adding to my videos. I am also continuing my work on both “Seamus” and “Suspended” series. “Seamus” has one more piece in the making that I am preparing as we speak. But “Suspended” will probably go on for a while as the pandemic continues and here in Italy we are slowly slipping in to a second lockdown. In between the larger pieces for these series I am creating small sketches in oil paint that I will hopefully be able to make available in time for Christmas, so I am also working on setting up an online shop for my audience.".

Myrkurs ns Náð WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM I’m a self-taught artist and I was born in Shiraz (Iran) on September 2nd,1999. Art and history of art has been always attracted me ever since childhood. My passion for art, folklore, and dark fairy tales guide me to become the artists I am today. I always used to draw/paint since I was a child but I started to learning it seriously when I was close to 19. For me art is a tool to release from troubles and thoughts, I express and explore my deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions through my art. I choose ‘Myrkursins Náði’ as my artistic name because it means darkness grace/Mercy of darkness in Icelandic and I believe it’s the best word for describing my work. My inspiration for my artworks comes from my love for nature, supernatural, and folklore. Those subjects help me to creative my very own characters with their own stories. Over the years of learning art I’ve discovered many different art genres/styles, my current art style is surrealism and grotesque. However I believe that ‘style’ is not a permanent because it can change with artist slowly and through years.

- " Quarantine is a strange but very creative time. He gave me the opportunity to look at myself and my work from a new angle. There was a need to quickly leave Krasnodar and move out of the city before the quarantine began. I managed to take with me not brushes and oil paints, but pastels and paper. Thus, a "covid" (and quite fruitful) stage in my creative activity began. The countryside makes the eye see differently, think about positive things, think without fuss. Nature gives a person the opportunity to turn to eternal values, the ability to enjoy every day. For me, this idea has become a kind of cultural code. A series of pastels – surreal sketches, still lifes with symbolism-was born out of forced imprisonment...". - In these strange and unusual t mes, what do you f nd s the most challeng ng part about be ng an Art st?
- " What is difficult is that an artist must have not only a creative skill, but also an extremely creative vision. They must be able to do everything to Express themselves and show themselves, this affects different areas: communication, religion, language skills, working with technologies that quickly fill our lives, being here and at the same time 10 steps ahead of themselves, having built a path. Be an actor, so that not only your work, but you were interesting to the public. If earlier it was possible to meet 10 years and come to something new, now you are given a year or two everything flies too fast, if you are behind it is very difficult to catch up, so laziness is our enemy, if you want something, do it now, otherwise others will do it.".

- Br ng t back to the bas cs, what nsp res you to create and what mot vates you to keep creat ng?
" The most important motivation, I am happy that with each stroke I understand more and come to the fact that I see my future path. I like to connect symbolism with surrealism, I learn so much, because it's not much to tell. Each picture is my search for meanings, they help me understand myself and my inner world, and the universe around me.".
- Can you tell us your art st c v s on and what nsp res you to work w th your theme? " I have always loved everything mystical, this topic will always be relevant for me, every vesh or our message to this world carries a huge energy, all this is very exciting and attracts… ". - Can you g ve us a spo ler on what’s com ng next for Anastas a Kolosn tsyna? " We are all waiting for the end of this unpleasant time, difficult for everyone in different degrees… In the meantime, I will bring all my sketches to life, so that after the quarantine I can start active activities in my promotion: exhibitions, competitions, trips. And I will go to the intended goal.".

Sot r a Bramou WWW.MARVELOUSARTGALLERY.COM I live and work as a Visual Designer in the city of Athens. As a designer, I get inspired by the “abnormal”, the “dirty”, the “freak”, the “obscene”, communicating through my work a visual and emotional experience. I move and experiment by blurring the lines between visual & wearable art. The body is shaped, transformed, deformed into something else, irregular, uneven, and magical. Sometimes through surrealism, sometimes through macabre, it’ s where the reality meets the fairy tale. My thinking, and thus my work, revolves around deconstructing the dominant social stereotypes and express my own values as a worker, as a female, as a designer.
