MYRINA TUNBERG GEORGIOU
Born 1986 in Athens, Greece, Myrina Tunberg Georgiou grew up on the island of Crete. After graduating high school she moved to Athens to attend the National University of Greece and study Methodology, History and Theory of Sciences. Next, she moved to Santa Barbara, California to study Studio Art at SBCC. Deeply inspired by Professor, Department Chair and sculptor Ed Inks she further pursued an education in Art History and Studio Art. After earning a degree in Design & Technology from the San Francisco Art Institute, Myrina continued to be involved in the San Francisco Bay Area art community working for a variety of art institutions, museums, and galleries. In 2011, she co-founded Kitsch Gallery, an experimental art space in the city’s vibrant, Mission District, which housed 12 artist studios and a gallery space where she co-directed a variety of visual and sound art exhibits. In 2012, Myrina moved from California to Paris, France where she did freelance design work for galleries and publishing houses. Since 2014, Myrina has been living in Lyon, France.
After a decade of experience working in galleries and art institutions in the USA, Greece, and France, in 2017, Myrina created Circle Foundation for the Arts. Inspired by the variety of practices and perspectives in contemporary art and with the main purpose of highlighting the importance of art and culture as an integral part of our social and political lives, the Foundation functions as a platform publicizing the work of remarkable artists around the world.
Myrina continues to curate exhibitions, books and magazines and has to date collaborated and consulted over 7,500 artists worldwide.
CURATOR’S NOTE
“Welcome to the 10th issue of Circle Quarterly Art Review! In this edition, I’m excited to showcase an outstanding collection of 110 artists from around the world. Each artist brings a unique perspective to our diverse tapestry. that I aim to showcase.
My goal in curating this edition is to present bold, distinctive pieces that represent the pinnacle of technique, creativity, and individuality. The carefully selected artworks aim to create a harmonious anthology, seeking unity through resonances in color, composition, media, concept, or context. Striking contrasts add depth to the overall presentation.
The selected artworks collectively weave a visual narrative that can seamlessly transition from the pages of this magazine to the walls of a gallery or the intimate spaces or a personal art collection. This issue tells the story of what art looks like today capturing currents trends and original practices in the global art zeitgeist.
I extend a personal invitation to you, dear reader, to explore each artist’s portfolio by visiting their websites and contacting them directly to acquire a piece. While we often consider buying artwork as an investment or for decoration, I see it as welcoming a piece that has “spoken” to you into your home. This creates a type of companionship that can deeply impact your daily mood, and for years to come, the piece will continue to “speak” to you, saying something different every day.
Thank you for joining us on this visual journey and I hope you fnd inspiration and connection within the pages of our 10th issue.”

Jiachen Zeng’s works primarily encompass installations, paintings, and drawings, incorporating performative and interactive elements. Her artistic focus consistently revolves around boundaries. Zeng explores various materials by discovering, breaking, or connecting those boundaries to interweave or disrupt the existing balanced ecologies of everyday occurrences. This extends to relationships between people, indelible memories, and attachments to meaningful objects, all of which are integral aspects of her creative exploration.

In uenced by his Turkish roots Ergin seamlessly blends his cultural heritage with personal experiences to discover beauty in the mundane. Through oil paintings and ink drawings, he navigates two distinct realms in his artistic journey. One path explores the allure of everyday life, capturing scenes from the daily routine that resonate universally. The other delves into the realm of imagination where Ergin crafts compelling narratives that invite viewers into his creative world.

Chang Haoran is a prominent fgure among the new generation of Chinese painters with signifcant accolades. While steadfast in upholding the essence of painting Chang Haoran blends traditional Chinese painting concepts with the ethos of Western classical painting. In doing so he establishes an independent and self-contained contemporary painting paradigm, accompanied by a visual language that resonates in both Chinese and Western cultural contexts. 1812127179@qq.com

Maureen Chatfeld is a contemporary artist whose body of work seamlessly blends New York
Abstract Expressionism with Bay Area Figurative painting. Her artistic approach is never premeditated; instead, she allows the emergence of color harmonies, receding and overlapping lines, and a delicate balance of amorphous shapes during the painting process. Her works serve as intuitive responses to the myriad forces shaping her life—translating emotions and memories into vibrant colors. Her work process is marked by constant experimentation and change, building layers of form and color that reveal the underlying pentimento.

Caroline Kelly, born in 1993 in Christchurch, New Zealand, discovered her passion for art at a young age, focusing on portraits and the human form. Self-taught until 2019, she embraced Atelier training to master oil painting, watercolor, and classical drawing. In 2020, facing a health crisis causing amnesia and motor skill challenges, Caroline lost her artistic abilities. By 2022, after recovery and global Zoom workshops, she found mentorship with Michelle Dunaway. Guided back to her artistic roots, Caroline regained her skills and learned the emotional intricacies of art. Inspired by her healing journey, she aims to share the therapeutic power of art, fostering creativity and connection.

Rotterdam-based photographer Robert Peek creates ghostly photographic stills of botanical forms that wouldn’t look out of place on Miss Havisham s festering dining room table. On frst inspection Peek s work resembles paintings with smoke dripping from the owers petals and leaves. Colors are drawn out and enhanced while other hues are shrouded in the veil. With this perception-bending methodology close-ups of lavender and thistle heads are transformed into mythical creations that peek out from the hazy background.

Amy Twomey is a mixed-media painter whose art manifests her life experiences, a kaleidoscope of emotions that explodes on canvas in the most captivating way. Her paintings may begin with a sense of direction, but they quickly take on their own life, transforming into something unexpected and truly awe-inspiring. Amy’s art is an extension of her intuition, a state of meditation where she loses herself to the present moment and allows herself to listen, experience, and release her emotions on canvas.
