Mitra Yegani
These expressive portraits explore identity, perception, and emotion through bold colours and dynamic brushwork inspired by Fauvism. Contrasting the intensity of a direct gaze with the mystery of a blindfolded figure, the works invite reflection on inner vision and self-awareness. Through vibrant compositions, the artist reveals the emotional depth of human expression beyond physical appearance.

Jacquiline Louise Holm
Holm calls her process graphical poetry: photography records what she sees, composition reshapes it, and text searches for what image alone cannot hold. Her work joins identity and consciousness through image, form and language.

ARTIO GALLERY / BARCELONA 2026
Tatiana Saric Tatiana Saric is a Swiss-based artist and a professional psychologist and psychotherapist with twenty years of experience. Her artistic journey began around a decade ago and has evolved alongside an increasingly "subtle perception" of human being and the world. Her work embodies a progressive exploration of letting go of control, a state of presence within every micro-movement and a transcendence of gesture. Although rooted in a deeply personal journey, her creations also speak to the collective. They hold up a mirror to ourselves and offer a vibrational and informational experience that supports us into a process of inner alchemy.

TEON
The Weight of What Remains explores the memory held by the body after movement has ceased. Through a bronze human figure, a mirror, and an authentic ballet pointe shoe, TEON reflects on discipline, fragility, and endurance. The permanence of bronze contrasts with the fleeting nature of movement, while the mirror creates a dialogue between presence and absence. The work invites viewers to contemplate what remains after the body has given everything.
