Alessandra Marques
Em "Coleção de Cacos", de Drummond, o colecionador é capaz de refazer, através das cores e do sonho, as flores que outrora decoraram as porcelanas. Somada ao trabalho de recolha presente no poema está a potência transformadora que faz dos cacos algo novo no quadro de Ale Marx.
Tomando como inspiração a técnica japonesa de reparo de cerâmicas Kintsugi, este trabalho valoriza não apenas os fragmentos de memórias e sentidos, multicoloridos, mas também, e principalmente, o que os une, em dourado.
Expressivamente, este quadro faz um paralelo a própria vida: amores, mágoas, memórias e sentimentos ligados em um corpo ao mesmo tempo múltiplo e único.

Profundamente conectado a sabedoria ancestral e espiritualidade dos povos nativos, suas obras carregam emoção e expressividade resgatando a força da natureza, em figuras e entidades, que buscam se comunicar diretamente com os expectadores, e lhes tocar a alma, transmitindo força, coragem e inspiração.

The Jungle Guardian
A guardian is one who takes care, who watches over and whom we can trust. In the image of Alfredo Maffei that accompanies this post, he is responsible for the forest, becoming nature's caretaker. Its attributes are in the expressiveness of the eyes, in the presence of the rainbow which, in several mythologies, is seen as a link, a passage between the world of gods and human beings, and in the protagonism of the open hand, spread with its five fingers. in evidence, remembering that this number is associated with the hope of reaching a quintessence that is beyond the four elements (earth, air, water and fire) and the four cardinal points (North, South, East and West). With the strength of the lion linked to the sun and the dominion of darkness associated with the black panther, Alfredo Maffei's guardian of the forest can carry out his work.
Oscar D'Ambrosio O Guardião da mata
Um guardião é aquele que toma conta, que zela e no qual podemos confiar. Na imagem de Alfredo Maffei que acompanha este post, ele é o responsável pela mata, tornando-se o cuidador da natureza. Seus atributos estão na expressividade dos olhos, na presença do arco-íris que, em diversas mitologias, é visto como um elo, uma passagem entre o mundo dos deuses e dos seres humanos, e no protagonismo da mão aberta, espalmada com seus cinco dedos em evidência, lembrando que esse número está associado à esperança de se chegar a uma quintessência que esteja além dos quatro elementos (terra, ar, água e fogo) e dos quatro pontos cardeais (Norte, Sul, Leste e Oeste). Com a força do leão ligado ao sol e o domínio das trevas associado à pantera negra, o guardião da mata de Alfredo Maffei pode realizar seu trabalho.

Meu nome é Aline Pageno, sou artista e designer, sou apaixonada por combinação de cores, e o impacto delas na vida das pessoas. Trabalho a mais de 20 anos com desenvolvimento de produtos e peças que podem ser usadas para auxiliar pessoas das mais diversas formas. Mas meu real fascínio é fechar os olhos e acessar as imagens mais lindas e belas que a combinação de cores e formas que já passaram diante de meus olhos, ou estão em minha imaginação, podem se formar em uma imagem única, que te leva a lugares já visto ou podem trazer a referencia de um lugar, e até mesmo a observação das sutilezas natural dos movimentos dos elementos naturais do nosso planeta. Tudo isso vem à tona quando estou entregue ao processo da criação de uma tela escultura.
My name is Aline Pageno, I'm an artist and designer, I'm passionate about color combinations and their impact on people's lives. I have been working for more than 20 years with the development of products and parts that can be used to help people in the most diverse ways. But my real fascination is to close my eyes and access the most beautiful and beautiful images that the combination of colors and shapes that have passed before my eyes, or are in my imagination, can be formed into a single image, which takes you to places already seen or can bring the reference of a place, and even the observation of the natural subtleties of the movements of the natural elements of our planet. All of this comes to the fore when I am involved in the process of creating a canvas sculpture.

Amanda Maria Padovani @amandap.arts @amanda_padovanii
Meu nome é Amanda Maria Padovani. A pintura para mim é fonte de realização pessoal, minha forma mais sincera de expressar meus sentimentos, emoções e o que estou sentindo em tal momento. Sempre tento demonstrar em minhas obras minha sensibilidade com o mundo a nossa volta. Na obra “Inocência”, foram dias de conexão e momentos únicos com meu cachorro que tanto sou apegada, seu olhar inocente que tanto me encanta. Cada tela minha tem um significado especial e uma mensagem diferente, um sentimento diferente que tento expressar. E mesmo pensando em algo especifico, fico encantada com as inúmeras formas de interpretações. Penso muito em cada cor para usar, e o significado que cada cor tem, cada técnica e mais importante, o que eu quero de fato tentar demonstrar com isso. Cada pessoa em minhas obras, são pessoas que me marcaram muito, que tem um grande peso emocional pra mim e que demonstrei esse amor em forma de pintura. Seja como for, sempre levarei comigo a arte como parte da minha vida, buscando por ela me expressar, me comunicar e preenchê-la com a cor da gratidão.
My name is Amanda Maria Padovani. Painting for me is a source of personal fulfillment, my most sincere way of expressing my feelings, emotions, and what I am feeling at that moment. I always try to show in my works my sensibility to the world around us. In the work "Innocence" these were days of connection and unique moments with my dog that I am so attached to, his innocent look that enchants me so much. Each of my canvases has a special meaning and a different message, a different feeling I try to express. And even when I think of something specific, I am delighted with the countless ways it can be interpreted. I think a lot about each color to use, and the meaning each color has, each technique, and most importantly, what I want to actually try to demonstrate with it. Each person in my works, are people who I consider a lot, people who have emotional weight for me and that I have shown this love in the form of painting. Anyway, I will always carry with me the art as part of my life, seeking through it to express myself, communicate and fill it with the color of gratitude.

Vive e trabalha em Curitiba, PR, Brasil. Artista visual e designer tem participado de várias exposições individuais e coletivas pelo Brasil e exterior. Realiza pesquisa das intersecções entre as linguagens fotográfica, pictórica e gráfica e suas implicações em relação à passagem do tempo como em sua recente série de fotografias ‘Combinantes’ que é, por um lado, registro da passagem do tempo e das inescapáveis transformações que ele provoca na matéria e, por outro, registro de percurso da artista em seu processo de criação. As imagens fotográficas da série registram marcas, manchas e oxidações que aparecem na superfície de três placas de ferro que em 2004 fizeram parte de uma exposição de autorretratos da artista. Depois desta exposição estas placas – ‘corpos ferrosos’, como a artista prefere chamá-las – foram guardadas passando por um longo período de ‘hibernação’. Em 2022, estes ‘corpos ferrosos’ foram acordados de seu sono profundo para se tornarem protagonistas e fonte de inspiração da série ‘Combinantes’ que participaram da exposição coletiva ‘Oxigênio’. Nada mais inspirador para o olhar da artista – foram o tempo e o oxigênio que acompanharam o sono destes corpos ferrosos causando outras tantas mutações.
Lives and works in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Visual artist and designer, she has participated in several individual and collective exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. She researches the intersections among photographic, pictorial and graphic languages and their implications in relation to the passage of time, as in her recent series of photographs ‘Combinantes’, which is, on the one hand, a record of the passage of time and the inescapable transformations it causes in matter and, on the other hand, a record of the artist's journey in her creation process over time. The photographic images in the series record marks, stains and oxidation that appear on the surface of three iron plates that in 2004 were part of an exhibition of self-portraits by the artist. After this exhibition, these plates – ‘ferrous bodies’, as the artist prefers to call them – were kept for a long period of ‘hibernation’. In 2022, these 'ferrous bodies' were awakened from their deep sleep to become the protagonists and source of inspiration for the 'Combinantes' series that participated in the collective exhibition 'Oxygen'. Nothing could be more inspiring for the artist's eye – it was the time and oxygen that accompanied the sleep of these ferrous bodies causing so many other mutations.

Savi on vanhin kaikista materiaaleista joista ihminen on luonut taideteoksia. Sadat sukupolvet ovat muovanneet unelmiansa, toiveitansa, palvontaansa, suruansa ja iloansa saveen. Tämä hienojyväinen kivi-, kasvi- ja eläinkunnan alkeinen maa-aines on eloisa ja säilyttää itseensä muistoja. Kun käsilläni muovaan savea tunnen menneen ja tulevan ajan yhteenkuuluvaisuutta ja vastakaikua. Olen viime vuosina tehnyt pronssivalua varten veistoksia vahaan. Kun pehmeä mukautuva vaha kangistuu pronssin ikuiseen otteeseen sormenjälkeni kuljeutuvat patsaan pinnasta viestinä tulevaisuuteen. Amurinleopardin äänettömien askelien kaiku vaikuttaa perhosen siipien havinaan, linnun lentoon ja ihmisen katseeseen kohti tähtitaivasta.
Clay is the oldest of the materials humans have used to portray art. Hundreds of generations have shaped their dreams, hopes, worship, sorrow, and joy out of clay. Clay is a fine grained material consisting of particles from the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms — it is alive and it can preserve memories. When I shape the clay with my hands I can feel the reverberations between the past and the future through my hands. Lately, I have formed statues out of wax to be cast into bronze. When the soft and malleable wax hardens into the eternal grasp of bronze my fingerprints are carried from the surface of the statue as a message into the future. The echoes of the silent steps of an Amur leopard affect the flutter of the wings of a butterfly, the flight of a bird, and the gaze of a human towards the starry night.

“Esmeraldas Líquidas“
Em meu fazer fotográfico, em minhas paisagens, busco o encantamento, a poesia, atravessando uma ponte entre o meu sensível e do outro.
Sempre me apropiando de imagens que fotografo com meu celular, durante minhas viagens para depois fragmentar o todo imaginado em tempos num jogo de recortes, no momento, acrescentado de tecidos materializados anteriormente. Dentro deste figurativo abstrato num eterno ressignificar, mesclo “o pulsar do sentido da vida“, memórias de minha infância com meu pai onde a natureza tinha sempre outro corpo, outro lugar, com matas sombreadas, caminhos delineados, elevados, cheiro e cores.
Essa série “Esmeraldas Líquidas” surgiu de muitos instantes com a essência da natureza na sua forma mais genuína e marcante para os seres vivos, a água. Ela que nos remete a nossa origem do ventre materno, elemento esse que nos proteje, nos habita, nos sacia, nos serve, nos alegra.
"Liquid Emeralds"
In my photographic work, in my landscapes, I seek enchantment, poetry, crossing a bridge between my sensitive and the other’s.
Always appropriating images that I photograph with my cell phone, during my travels, and then fragmenting the whole imagined at times into a game of clippings, at the moment, adding previously materialized fabrics. Within this abstract figurative in an eternal resignification, I mix “the pulsar of the meaning of life”, memories of my childhood with my father where nature always had another body, another place, shaded woods, delineated paths, elevated, smell and colors.
This series “Liquid Emeralds” emerged from many moments of the essence of nature in its most genuine and striking form for living beings, water. She who takes us back to our origins in the maternal womb, an element that protect us, inhabits us, satisfies us, serves us, makes us happy.

Anna Wilhelmus
s.1966 Helsingissä / b. 1966 at Helsinki www.annawilhelmus.weebly.com Instagram: annawilhelmus
Kuvataiteilija, taidemaalari, taideterapeutti, kouluttaja, opettajana mm. Aalto Yliopistossa Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulussa. Taidemaalariliiton ja Helsingin taitelijaseuran jäsen.
13-vuotiaana toiveeni toteutui ja sain ensimmäiset öljyvärini. Lumouduin niistä. Tunsin samanaikaisesti tulleeni kotiin ja uuden maailman avautuvan. Haaveeni oli tulla taiteilijaksi. Vuosien varrella tekniikat ovat vaihdelleet, mutta suhteeni maalaamiseen on ytimeltään sama. Parhaimillaan maalatessa voimakas tunne olemassaolosta ja sen merkityksestä valtaa minut.
Minulle maalaaminen on kuin rakastamista. Se on vuoropuhelua, etsimistä ja erehtymistä, välillä mystistä, käsittämätöntä ja monimutkaista, vaativaa ja ehdotonta, toisaalta iloa ja onnea tuovaa. Antautumista ja irtipäästämistä. Ilman sitä elämä olisi kaikilla tavoin vähemmän.
Visual artist, painter, art therapist, trainer and teacher, Lecturer in Aalto University, The Scool of Art, Design and Architecture. Member of Finnish Painters’ Union & Helsinki Artists’ Association.
At thirteen my wish for having my own oil paints was fulfilled. I was fascinated by their colours. At the same time it felt like coming home and a new world was opening up. My dream was to become an artist. Over the years, the techniques have changed, but my relationship with painting is essentially the same. In the best moments when painting, a strong sense of existence and its meaning overwhelms me.
For me, painting is like loving. It is a dialogue, searching and erring, sometimes mysterious, incomprehensible and complex, demanding and absolute, but at the same time bringing joy and happiness. It is surrender and letting go. Without it, life would be less in every respect.

Olen kuvataiteilija (s.1964), asun ja työskentelen Helsingissä. Taiteellinen työskentelyni on aina ollut monialaista. Minä maalaan, teen veistoksia ja esinekoosteita sekä rakennan installaatioita. Käytän teosteni materiaaleina lähes kaikkea, usein kierrätysmateriaaleja. Työskentelyni on tietoisuuden ja alitajuisuuden vuoropuhelua, se on minulle ajattelua ja löytöretki tuntemattomaan. Vuodesta 1986 lähtien olen pitänyt lukuisia yksityisnäyttelyitä ja osallistunut ryhmä- ja yhteisnäyttelyihin kotimaassa ja ulkomailla. Olen Taidemaalariliiton jäsen.
I am a visual artist (b. 1964) who lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. My artistic work has always been diverse and spans many styles and art forms. I paint, make sculptures and assemblages of objects and build installations. I use almost everything, often recycled materials, as materials for my art work. My work is a dialogue between consciousnes and subconcious. For me, making art is thinking and a journey of discovery into the unknown. Since 1986 I have actively had solo exhibitions and have participated in joint and group exhibitions both in Finland and abroad. I am a member of Finnish Painters Union.

Taide on minulle elämän pituinen tutkimusmatka ja seikkailu ihmiseen. Kaikki mitä olemme fyysisesti ja henkisesti, ihmisen suhteet ja ihmissuhteet, luontosuhteesta puhumattakaan. Niitä ihmettelen loputtomiin. Pitkän elämäni aikana on ollut monta täydellistä ympäristön muutosta ja yhteisten arvojen kuperkeikkaa. Kaiken elämän rajallisuus, on saanut minut leikittelemään ajatuksella mikä elämässä on tärkeää ja mikä ei. Inspiroidun myös luonnosta, luonnon ja elämän voimasta, kasvusta ja kauneudesta. Värejä unohtamatta. Väreistä minä elän ja niiden tuhansista sävyistä!
For me, art is a life-long research journey and an adventure into people. Everything that we are physically and mentally, human relations and human relationships, not to mention the relationship with nature. I wonder about them endlessly. During my long life, there have been many complete environmental changes, somersaults of common life values. The finiteness of all life has gotten to me to play with the idea of what is important in life and what is not. Also nature inspires me, the power, growth and beauty of nature and life. Without forgetting the colours. I live from colours and their thousands of shades!

Carol Couri, artista plástica autodidata e advogada, brasileira. Nasceu em 15/04/1974, natural e radicada em São Paulo. Despertou-se para a arte por volta dos 30 anos, de maneira terapêutica, passando a ser uma poderosa forma de expressão dos seus sentimentos, mas foi com o isolamento social forçado pela pandemia, em 2020 que passou a criar com mais frequência e intensidade. Seu estilo é predominantemente abstrato, por vezes figurativo ou geométrico, e gosta de pintar livremente, de improviso, deixando ao acaso o surgimento das linhas e imagens que vão sendo espontaneamente delineadas no momento da criação. Utiliza-se da música e da natureza como fontes de inspiração e conexão com seu universo interior e escolhe as cores de acordo com seu estado de espírito. Acredita na arte como uma poderosa ferramenta para atingir níveis mais elevados de consciência e sua ambição é que sua pintura possa contribuir para alegrar o universo ao seu redor. Participou de diversas exposições coletivas, no Brasil e no exterior, dentre elas a Bela Bienal, na Finlândia, em 2021 e o Carrossel do Louvre, em abril e outubro de 2022. Já realizou também uma exposição individual em São Paulo, em 2021.
Carol Couri, self-taught artist and lawyer, Brazilian. Born on 15.04.1974, born and based in São Paulo. She awoke to art around the age of 30, in a therapeutic way, becoming a powerful form of expression of her feelings, but it was with the social isolation forced by the pandemic in 2020 that she began to create with more frequency and intensity. Her style is predominantly abstract, sometimes figurative or geometric, and she likes to paint freely, by impromptu, leaving to chance the emergence of lines and images that are spontaneously delineated at the moment of creation. She uses music and nature as sources of inspiration and connection with her inner universe and chooses colors according to her state of mind. She believes in art as a powerful tool to achieve higher levels of consciousness and her ambition is that his painting can contribute to brightening the universe around her. She has participated in several group exhibitions, in Brazil and abroad, among them the Bela Bienal, in Finland, in 2021 and the Louvre Carousel, in April and October 2022. She has also held a solo exhibition in São Paulo in 2021.

Eu sou Carolina Reis, artista e ilustradora. Sou graduada em Design de Moda e, durante os estudos, percebi que gostava de desenhar a figura humana, especialmente a feminina. Fui aperfeiçoando o traço e a técnica e até nomeei “minhas meninas” de Olívia. Já ilustrei camisetas, bolsas, acessórios e algumas paredes pelos prédios da minha cidade natal. Gosto de pintar retratos femininos utilizando coisas cotidianas de referência, como uma música, um livro, uma série, uma imagem e até mesmo um sentimento, representando tudo em um olhar, uma combinação de cores, em algo tão sincero e profundo quanto um retrato pode ser.
I'm Carolina Reis, artist and illustrator. I’m graduated in Fashion Design and, while in college, I realized how much I like to draw the human figure, specially the female one. I have improved my technique and the characteristics of my drawing and even named "my girls" series Olívia. I have illustraded T-shirts, bags, acessories and some walls in the buildings of my hometown. I like to paint feminine portraits having daily things as reference, like a song, a book, a serie, a picture or even a feeling, representing all of this in a look, a color combination, in something as sincere and profound as a portrait can be.

Daniele Bloris é artista plástica e psicanalista da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Suas linhas fluem num tempo infinito, se apropriando do espaço que encontram, em um ondular orgânico de linhas que se emaranham e se dissolvem.
Linhas traçadas sobre o papel, pela mão que se deixa levar, pelo movimento de um desenho que vai se configurando no próprio fazer, que vai se transformando a cada traço, que marca o papel e demarca seu espaço. A arte como uma invenção que produz uma brecha, um caminho, a defesa de um espaço de liberdade é vida que está nesse fazer.
Daniele Bloris is an artist and psychoanalyst from the city of Rio de Janeiro. Her lines flow in an infinite time, appropriating the space they find, in an organic undulation of lines that entangle and dissolve.
Lines drawn on paper, by the hand that lets itself be carried away, by the movement of a drawing that is being configured in its own making, that is being transformed with each stroke, that marks the paper and demarcates its space. Art as an invention that produces a breach, a path, the defense of a space of freedom is life that is in this doing.

An itinerary of resignification by the visual artist Diego Mendonça that presents works of art made with waste materials from carpentry shops
Diego Mendonça, an artist who has received numerous awards and held exhibitions in more than ten countries (such as at the UN Headquarters in New York and at the Carrousel du Louvre Musée in Paris), proposes a series of works of art with a tone of protest and a cry for sustainability.
The collection refers to the waste of materials in carpentry shops in the micro-region of São João del-Rei - MG, where the great productive expansion resulted in the enormous disposal of materials inappropriately in the region.
The works are the result of the artist's master's research, which is part of the Interdepartmental Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Art, Urbanities and Sustainability (PIPAUS), at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ).
For the guiding professor Dr. Mateus Martins (DAUAP-PIPAUS-UFSJ), “materials called ‘rejects’ from carpentry shops, a different look and works of art that arise as challenges. They are free and new contemporary objects are born. Refuse is transformed into art, it gains colors and functions. The thematic relevance of the exhibition is justified by the nature of artistic work and reveals the transformation of materials that would otherwise be discarded in the environment, often in inappropriate ways. Diego Mendonça's artistic production process appears to be complete, they are organized appropriations and products of academic challenges that seek the importance of making connections with the community. It shows the possibilities of using materials and transforming them into arts, into making, as well as sources of income. A transformation, therefore a challenge. Well, they are appropriations of what was forgotten in some corner, fragmented, seeking to rescue the also collective memory of the object and the place, constructed with affection and that become everyone's.”
In painting, his great legacy, Diego is a disciple of Yara Tupynambá, who has her studio in Belo Horizonte, where Diego goes every month to delve into the artist's source of knowledge.

Produz arte visionária, de apelo feminino e que valoriza elementos da natureza. Arte que expõe um sonhador compulsivo e um alguém que quer entender/explicar a vida no seu melhor. Imprime ainda em sua obra um mosaico de referências e intertextualidades. Contemporâneo, passeia entre vários estilos, gêneros e materiais. Essa fluidez permite-lhe deixar patente em sua arte uma habilidade investigativa quanto aos estudos cromáticos. Artista que busca sempre uma universalização conceitual - como se espera da arte atual. "Glocal", diriam os experts, não perde as referências regionais. Colorista nato, retrata o tropicalismo e a sensualidade brasileira. Nos murais e telas, utilizando de tinta acrílica branca, fabrica sua própria coloração. A cor é uma marca de sua personalidade artística. A cor é como um espaço de exposição do ego, de aprendizagem para a percepção humana.

Art that exposes a compulsive dreamer and someone who wants to understand/explain life. He also imprints in his work a mosaic of references and intertextualities. Contemporary, he wanders between different styles, genders and materials. This fluidity allows him to show in his art an investigative ability with regard to chromatic studies. An artist who always seeks a conceptual universalization - as is expected from current art. "Glocal", the experts would say, does not lose regional references. A born colorist, he portrays tropicalism and Brazilian sensuality. On the murals and screens, using white acrylic paint, he manufactures his own coloring. Color is a hallmark of your artistic personality. Color is like an ego exposure space, a learning space for human perception.

I was born in Rafaela, a quiet town in the interior of Argentina. A typical small Latin American town, where the peasant culture dialogues with the modernity of the local industries. Son of photographer parents, my life has passed through the world of cinema and television, advertising, marketing and finally, Art. The experiences of my life journey in South America and Europe were very important for my artistic communication. My works establish a fluid dialogue between classical photography and modern algorithmic creation techniques. I am an artist always influenced by the daily happenings of societies. In BELA 2023 I try to show this: the reality of this moment in Europe and Latin America; and also classical photography and algorithmic digital intervention. In Helsinki I present a unique work composed of eight similar and mirrored images: The Last Train. It represents the individuality of each being who, having the sacred freedom to move freely, finds himself oppressed and limited by the political events of our time. In Pieksamak and Varkaus, I present two works that convey the silenced and unheard cry of the destruction of the Amazon. The Works will also be shown in Rio de Janeiro.
Nasci em Rafaela, uma tranquila cidade do interior da Argentina. Uma típica cidade pequena, latino-americana, onde a cultura camponesa dialoga com a modernidade das indústrias do lugar. Filho de pais fotógrafos, transitei minha vida no mundo do cinema e televisão, publicidade, marketing e finalmente, a Arte. As vivências do meu percurso de vida na América do Sul e Europa, foram muito importantes para meu estilo de comunicação artística. Minhas obras estabelecem um fluído diálogo entre a fotografia clássica e as modernas técnicas de criação algorítmica. Sou um artista sempre influenciado com o acontecer diário das sociedades. Na BELA 2023, trato de mostrar isso: a realidade desse momento na Europa e na América Latina; e também a fotografia clássica e a intervenção digital algorítmica. Em Helsinki, apresento uma obra única composta por oito imagens similares e espelhadas: The Last Train. Representa a individualidade de cada ser que, tendo a sagrada liberdade de transitar livremente, se vê oprimido e limitado pelo acontecer político do nosso tempo. Em Pieksamak, apresento duas obras que transmitem o grito silenciado e não escutado da destruição da Amazônia. As Obras serão mostradas também no Rio de Janeiro.

Väri on maalausteni ydin jonka avulla käsittelen asioita. Maalatessani kankaan pinnalle nousee teemoja jotka juuri silloin mietin. Milloin mietin naisten vapautumista valmiiksi valetusta vartalon vaatimuksista, milloin taas miten rasismista pääsisi eroon. Viimeisissä maalauksissani olen miettinyt leikkiä ja leikin merkitystä. Miksi leikimme? Miksi lapset ja eläinpennut leikkivät? Maalasin erilaisia leikin huoneita ja tässä taulussa on maalaus salainen puutarha.
Färgen är kärnan i mitt måleri med vilken jag behandlar olika saker. Under målningsprocessen stiger olika teman fram på duken. Någongång funderar jag på hur kvinnor skall kunna frigöra sig från krav på kroppsliga former och någongång funderar jag på hur man kan minska rasismen som bräder ut sig. I mina senaste målningar har jag funderat på lekens betydelse. Varför leker vi. Hur kommer det sig att både barn och djurungar leker. Mina målningar mynnade ut I rum för lek och den här målningen heter den hemliga trädgården.
The colours are the core of my paintings. During the painting process different themes are rising. Somethimes I think about how women can get rid of the body demands on women in the society and sometimes themes like how to get rid of the rising rasism occupy my mind. In my latest paintings I have been thinking about playing. Why do we play? Why do both children and animal babies play? My paintings became rooms for playing. Thin painting has the name secret garden.

Maalaukseni ovat suuria ja ekspressionistisia, tärkeintä niissä on väri, tunne ja tunnelma. Luonto ja eläimet ovat minulle rakkaita, ne ovat inspiraation lähteeni. Myös ihminen on osa luontoa, olemme kaikki samaa ihmeellistä perhettä.
My paintings are large and ekspressionistic, most important things are colour, feeling and atmosphere. I love nature and animals, they are my inspiration. Also people are part of nature, we all belong to same wonderful family.

Born in Limoeiro, Pernambuco, Henrique Hammler, started drawing at seven, trying to reproduce faithfully the family portraits. At 20, with the help of his friend and artist João Neto, painted his first oil on canvas. He studied architectural, industrial, mechanical and art design in the School of Arts of Recife. In 1977 he started his works in oil on canvas. Also, in the following years, dedicated himself to the research of ceramics in the town of Tracunhaém, Pernambuco. In 1985 presented his first solo exhibition, ”Flagelados da Paixão” at the Academy of Arts of Pernambuco. Thereafter, he moved to Sao Paulo to devote full time to his art.
Henrique Hammler’s Festival of Colors
* by Oscar D’Ambrosio, journalist and master in Visual Arts by the Arts Institute of UNESP and member of the International Association of Critics of Arts (AICA)
“Bright colors in warm tones are the main characteristics of the Brazilian painter H.Hammler. By taking some national themes, such as folklore, he reaches plastic results characterized by the juxtaposition of images, in sets marked by dynamism, with various themes originating from his northeastern roots.
H.Hammler was born in Limoeiro, in the State of Pernambuco, on October 9th, 1955, coming from a family with 9 siblings. He started painting at 7 and at his 20s painted a landscape that would become his first oil on canvas. From that point on, he never gave up searching for new paths and techniques until his present phase, where he represents the Brazilian popular festivals and the “cangaço” universe (the universe of the outlaws from the remote interior of Brazil) from a very special perspective.
He has been living in Rudge Ramos, a district in São Bernardo do Campo (São Paulo State), since 1989 and this is why his work presents some special elements of São Bernardo. One of them is the small houses that appear in the upper part of his canvases, colorful, with countless satellite dishes pointing at the sky. It is the artistic point of view captured by the eye of the artist in Itabuna, in Bahia State.
Astonished by the fact that those uniform houses, owned by people of low income, built with very well-defined contours are connected to the globalized world through those satellite dishes, he could solve artfully the driving force that motivated him to paint those houses.
One of the subjects which is very present in his work is the “bumba-meu-boi”, the traditional and principal character of the well-known festival in northeastern Brazil. The festival is represented with many bright colors, conveying two important feelings: dynamism and joy. The use of black is essential, since this color works as support for all the others and contributes to a balance of the picture. Another very present image is that of the ”cangaceiros”, symbols of the northeastern culture and of the bravery of a people, as well as of rebellion and search for justice. These figures usually appear as a form of homage to a person of public renown or of the painter’s personal relations. The predominance of unique elements in his paintings is a curious point. It can be in the images, rows of houses, satellite dishes, dogs, street trolleys selling the sweet “raspa raspa” (popsicles), chickens paying homage to Porto de Galinhas city, in Pernambuco; or other elements that pay homage to the artist’s own family, composed of himself, his wife, and a daughter. The challenge to join a balanced composition with the multiplicity of colors is the basis of H.Hammler’s work. Each time he succeeds in his artworks, he takes aspects from the Brazilian culture into his paintings. This is accomplished by the bright and cheerful colors, the mixture of white and black people, women in colorful dresses and, mainly, by the chromatic freedom in the props of each “bumba-meu-boi” that he takes from his imaginary to place, with renewed life, on his canvases.”

Jadyza
Nasceu da necessidade de expressar vivências sensíveis apreendidas em momentos que precisam ser eternizados. A educação do olhar iniciou no devaneio admirando os altares das igrejas barrocas de São João delRei, cidade histórica do ciclo do ouro em Minas Gerais. Sua linguagem expressiva foi desenvolvida na Escola Guignard em Belo Horizonte. O olhar peregrino pelas estradas, na garupa da moto, abraços trocados com outras culturas e o encantamento por paisagens diversificadas formaram sua bagagem. De volta às origens depois da longa viagem do Ushuaia ao Alaska para viver junto a Serra de São José em Tiradentes e o contato com a terra, são as histórias que suas obras contam.
Was born from the need to express sensitive experiences apprehended in moments that need to be eternalized. Learning how to see began by daydreaming, admiring the altars of the baroque churches in São João del-Rei, a historic city from the gold cycle in Minas Gerais. Jadyza’s expressive language was developed at the Guignard Art School in Belo Horizonte. The pilgrim perception during road-trip on the back of a motorcycle, exchanging with other cultures and the enchantment for diverse landscapes formed her luggage. Returning to her origins after a long trip from Ushuaia to Alaska, to live alongside the Serra de São José in Tiradentes and the connection with the land, these are the stories that her works tell.

Olen helsinkiläinen taidemaalari (s.1960 Lahti) ja opiskelin kuvataidetta Oriveden Opiston kuvataidelinjalla, Kankaanpään taidekoulussa ja Kuvataideakatemiassa (nyk. Taideyliopiston Kuvataideakatemia), josta valmistuin kuvataiteen maisteriksi vuonna 2003.
Aloitan teosten maalaamisen akryyli- ja spraymaalein action painting -tekniikalla, jolla syntyy vapaata abstraktiota ja jossa hetkellisyys pääsee esille. Käytän märkää märälle -tekniikkaa. Tämän päälle jatkan öljyväreillä hitaammin ja harkitummin. Abstrakti ja figuratiivinen kohtaavat samassa kuvassa. Teosteni kantavia teemoja ja aiheita ovat ihminen ja ihmisyys, sekä erinäiset viittaukset avaruuteen ja populaarikulttuuriin. Viitemateriaalina käytän internetistä löytämääni kuvamateriaalia, jota häivytän niin ettei kuvan alkuperää enää voi tunnistaa.
I am a painter from Helsinki (b.1960 in Lahti) and I have studied visual arts at Orivesi High School (Department of Fine Arts), at Kankaanpää Art School and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki (now University of Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine Arts) graduating as a Master of Fine Arts in 2003.
I start my painting process with acrylic and spray paint, using the technique of action painting, which creates free abstraction and where momentariness can come to the fore. I use the wet-on-wet technique. From there, I continue with oil colours more slowly and carefully. The abstract and the figurative meet in the same picture. The themes and subjects of my works are man and humanity, as well as various references to space and popular culture. As reference material, I use images found on the internet, which I fade so that the origin of the image is beyond recognition.

Aloitin urani vuonna 1997. Taiteeni rakentuu veistoksista, installaatioista ja ympäristötaiteesta. Teoksissani minulla on keskiössä luonnonmateriaalit kuten paju, tuohi ja erilaiset kasvien osat sekä teräs. Työskentelyni lähtökohdat ovat suomalaisessa mytologiassa ja myyttisessä maetsätarustossa. Minulle luonto on kuin toinen kansalaisuus ja kieli. Luonnossa on mahdollista muodostaa käsitystä ajasta, rajoista, hyvästä ja pahasta. Urani aikana olen osallistunut lukuisiin yksityis-ja yhteisnäyttelyihin. Teoksiani löytyy muun muassa Suomen valtion taidekokoelmasta, Helsingin kaupungilta ja Saastamoisen Säätiöltä.
Sculptor in the Wild
I started my career in 1997. My art consists of sculptures, installations and environmental art. In the core of my work are natural resources such as willow, birch bark and different plant parts. I use steel to compliment them. I get my inspiration from Finnish mythology and forestry fables. I feel most comfortable in the wilderness. Nature, to me, is like a second nationality and a second language. The environment gives me a sense of serenity that enables me to have a better understanding of time, boundaries, good and bad in the world. During my career I have participated in numerous private and public art exhibitions. My artworks can be found in the State Art Deposit Collection of Finland and the collections of The City of Helsinki and Saastamoinen Foundation.

José Antonio de Lima
When the artists of the Italian Transvanguarda rediscovered, in the late 1970s, that making art is “getting one’s hand dirty”, in the literal sense of the expression, they sent a warning signal to a young artist, who was still taking his first steps in artistic production. Be it in the manual processes of producing the work of art or in today’s electronic media, the pleasure of art lies in making, in metamorphosing, in transforming matter into form. At the time, art was going back to its internal motives, to its place par excellence, which is finding within itself the necessary energy to build images. Art is production and it entails work.
José Antonio de Lima has always enjoyed handling diverse materials, mixing, modeling, painting, sewing or sculpting, with paper and wire, with fabric, with earth and iron dust: the poetic is something that emerges from the artist’s inner silence and then, one day, these shapes that had previously moved from flatness to the three-dimensional space of sculptures and volumes, wanted to take flight. From pencil sketches, drawings, totems, cocoons emerged the cathedrals and the tramas (wefts) – “from the cocoon to the butterfly”, says the artist – but it is always the artist’s intervention on matter, the chrysalis that emerges thanks to the transformation of living matter, such as the larva or even inert material, that takes flight into space: living silence in monumental scale.
In this book we have the synthesis of a trajectory that began in the 1980s and is now in its full artistic maturity. All his pursuits, tries, and paths followed show that it is the quest and hard work that make the artist; the love of details, of collecting the slightest sensations and the smallest thoughts in the desire to remain open to change and experiences.
Drawing has followed José Antonio since he was thirteen, when he decided he wanted to be an artist; from drawing he went on to painting and sculpture. The “totems”, the “tools and weapons”, more than bringing back clear memories of his childhood, are also studies of space; they are drawings and paintings that escaped from flatness, which has never been present in his work. Mario de Andrade stated that what he liked about drawing, in its very complex nature, “is its infinitely subtle character of being at the same time transient and filled with wisdom”. (Mario de Andrade, “Do desenho”). Drawing is a dream that comes true and the beginning of all artistic musing: it is the start of artistic action, according to those who introduced our concept of art, in the past. For Giorgio Vasari, we should celebrate the fact that the artist received from heaven the ability to, without any difficulty, reveal things alive and true. (Giorgio Vasari, Le Vite, v. 1, XV).
The “cocoons” belong to an intermediary phase; they seem to be waiting for the artist to mold the shapeless material and from it to pull out the “being from the not being”. The “cathedrals” are direct consequences of his formal research, which consolidated into the “tramas” (wefts), whose ephemeral material demands permanence. It is memory that becomes metal: in the beginning there was flatness, which took flight without turning its back on its beginnings. The metamorphoses show that everything can be changed into everything in the direction of an “aspacial” center and of the atemporal – maybe of the invariable, too – but in his work, José Antonio shows that everything is temporal and we can only perceive things through the mediation of space and time.
But he always goes back to painting; it becomes the field inside which the handmade and the concept finally find their balance, the experimentation field where all the other experiences can be applied as pictorial substance and mental power, a place where his most subtle and impalpable motives can be translated into image.

In order to respond to poetical work, we must always resort to a poet: “Painting, from then on, is ‘unpainting’/ fusing shape into darkness (into paste, into mud) / merging the whites/the greens and blues / into the dirty matter without light /and then, from the inside out / the painter reaches the end / that is, the beginning / from the dark paste (from the painted background) / reemerges the figure.” (Ferreira Gullar, Figura-fundo, 2013).
The poet always makes up something to say, but only by saying it does he find the meaning of what he has said.

Tomado por uma reflexão Nietzscheana de que provavelmente as primeiras esculturas realizadas pelos homens foram os utensílios domésticos, me propulsiono a tecer algumas considerações sobre o brique-braque escultórico proposto pelo artista Joseph Figorelle.
As pecinhas articuláveis das esculturas do Joseph Figorelle se assemelham (no que diz respeito aos aspectos lúdicos), aos bichos da artista modernista Lygia Clarck. Ao envolver-se com a belíssima estética proposta, os expectadores montam e desmontam emoções brincam, deliram, fazem de conta, se alimentam do que existe de mais palatável e necessário, a saber, à arte.
Joseph Figorelle ao nos apresentar esse conjunto escultórico, dá-nos também uma dica preciosa para a reflexão da construção dos mosaicos. Talvez em alguns aspectos todas as coisas sejam as mesma coisas: pintura, utensílio, escultura, madeira, tecido, volume, plano, sagrado, profano, lúdico, alimento, alma e beleza...

Series ESTILHAS ( Fragments )
Taken by a Nietzchean reflexion that the first sculptures made by humans were domestic utensils, I´m prompted to make some considerations about the sculptur albric-a-bac proposed by the artist Joseph Figorelle. Joseph Figorelle´s sculpture´s articulable peaces are similar – concerning the ludic aspects – to the crittersof the modern artist Lygia Clark. Getting involved with this beautiful proposed aesthetic, expectators might assemble and disassemble emotions, play, rave, make believe and be fostered by the most palatable and necessary thing, namely, Art. Presenting this sculptural collection, Joseph Figorelle, gives us a precious tip for a reflexion over the mosaicbuilding. Perhaps in some aspects, all the things are the same ones“ painting, utensil, sculpture, wood, fabric, volume, plan, sacred, profane, ludic, food, soul and beauty.

J.Dalcastagné
J. Dalcastagné is an artist who explores sensations and experiences from everyday life. Her works generate involuntary thoughts, often followed by automatic reactions. Feelings of depreciation, rejection, and evil, which are often uncontrollable, may arise. If noticed by the viewer, these feelings can be shaped so that attitudes do not reveal the truth of these uncontrollable feelings. In contrast to the attitudes taken, these involuntary feelings are the primary themes explored in the artist’s pieces.
From this point of view, opposites are intertwined in the artist’s pieces, creating the “ugly but beautiful.” When vibrant colors interact with dark colors, it creates a “friendly aggressiveness.” The lines used to contour the objects also contribute significantly to this aesthetic. They bring an aggressive look while giving a raw, childish feel to her pieces, displaying an aesthetic close to that of book illustration.
J. Dalcastagné é uma artista que explora em suas obras, experiências e sensações peculiares da vida cotidiana, as quais geram pensamentos involuntários, seguidos muitas vezes de reações automaticas. Esses sentimentos de depreciação, rejeição, e maldade, (que são muitas vezes incontroláveis), se descobertos pelo próprio pensador a tempo, podem ser moldados para que as atitudes não demostrem a verdade desses sentimentos incontroláveis. Esses sentimentos involuntários em contraste com as atitudes tomadas são os tópicos constantemente abordados nas obras da artista.
Sob este ponto de vista, é possível entender que os opostos se entrelaçam nas obras da artista, criando o “feio porém bonito”. Isto é alcançado com a ajuda de cores vibrantes interagindo com uma grande quantidade de preto e cores escuras, o que acaba criando uma espécie de agressividade amistosa. As linhas utilizadas para contornar o objeto do seu trabalho são também uma grande contribuição a essa estética. Elas resultam num olhar mais agressivo, e ao mesmo tempo, por ter uma estética próxima a ilustração de livros, proporcionam uma visão mais infantilizada e crua para as suas obras.

Taide on tapani toimia yhteiskunnassa. Työskentelyssäni käsittelen mm. elämän haurautta, sattuman/kohtalon voiman ja luonnon elementtien haavoittuvuutta. Päämateriaalini on keramiikka. Tarvittaessa käytän muitakin materiaaleja ja tekniikoita saavuttaakseni haluamani lopputuloksen.
Teeman Elementit kautta tarkastelen ekologisia ja eettisiä kysymyksiä. Koen että elementit maa, ilma, veri, vesi ja kasvillisuus ovat kaikki toistensa juurta, kiinteästi toisistaan riippuvaisia ja toisiaan ruokkivia luonnon irrottamattomia osia. Koen myös, että elementeistä veri on se, joka uhkaa muiden elementtien muodostamaa luonnon tasapainoa.
I find the inspiration for working from daily life and news itsems which get lodged in my mind. Art for me is one way of taking part in social and political discussion.
The overarching theme of my practice has involved the elements of earth, air, blood and water. Later vegetation has emerged in the theme as the fifth element. The concept of elements arises from concern for ecology and ethics. All these elements share a common root. Inseparable from nature, they are intricately connected with and nourish each other. However, blood seems to me the one element that threatens the natural balance between the others.

Série “NO ESCURINHO DO CINEMA”
O papel sempre obteve meu olhar. Com ele experimento no mundo. Quando nele está impressa uma propaganda, uma informação obsoleta por si só, meu sentimento primeiro é não permitir que se transforme em lixo, tão bonito é de cores, cheiros, brilhos! O cartaz de cinema, fonte de encantamento, desaparece furtivo, sem deixar rastro, assim que termina a temporada. Cumpre o momento do filme. Resgatei estes cartazes apresentados. Este resgate iniciou um longo período de dias inteiros e longos de observação profunda e fina no que tinha diante de mim. Quando dei por mim, conhecia quase todos os detalhes de cada cartaz. Este é um período de incertezas, construções, choque de linhas, de espaços e texturas, desmancho/ volto a construir/ volta a angústia, e segue minha busca por paisagens, personagens de meu repertório estético, através de muita reflexão, muito dançar das mãos sobre a superfície repleta de cores e apelos, escutando a música que linhas, planos, espaços, texturas, sugerem para a construção de uma nova realidade que penetra e contém o cartaz. O cartaz não desaparece: compõe e guia. É um processo delicado e silencioso. Há que respeitar o que está construído e incorporar/esconder/sugerir/criar infinitas possibilidades dentro deste espaço existente.
E poetizar.

“IN THE CINEMA’S DARKNESS” series
Paper has always held my eye. With him I experiment in the world. When advertising is printed on it, information that is obsolete in itself, my first feeling is not to allow it to become rubbish, so beautiful are the colors, smells, sparkles! The movie poster, source of enchantment, stealthily disappears, without a trace, as soon as the season ends. Fulfills the moment of the film. I rescued these presented posters. This rescue started a long period of whole and long days of deep and fine observation of what I had in front of me. Before I found myself, I knew almost every detail of each poster. This is a period of uncertainties, constructions, clash of lines, spaces and textures, dismantling / building again / anguish returns, and my search for landscapes, characters from my aesthetic repertoire continues, through a lot of reflection, a lot of hands dancing on a surface full of colors and appeals, listening to the music that lines, planes, spaces, textures suggest for the construction of a new reality that penetrates and contains the poster. The poster does not disappear: it composes and guides. It is a delicate and silent process. We have to respect what is built and incorporate/hide/suggest/create infinite possibilities within this existing space. And poetize.

Teen puukolla ja kirveellä pieniä karkeita veistoksia puusta. Veistoksieni aiheina ovat viime aikoina olleet käärmeet, kalat ja linnut. Teoksissani olen yhdistänyt ihmisen tunnelmia luonnonilmiöihin. Piirrän hiilellä piirustuksia luonnosta, eläimistä ja ihmisistä. Olen ympäristötaiteilija. Teokseni ovat puisia ja ovat hedelmällisyyteen ja veteen liittyviä mm. vettä kerääviä ja kuljettavia rännejä.
I make small, rough, wooden sculptures with a knife and an ax. The subjects of my sculptures have recently been snakes, fish and birds. In my works I joined the human moods into natural phenomenas. I use charcoal to draw images of nature, animals and people. I’m environmental artist. My works are wooden and are related to fertility and water, e.g. water collecting and transporting chutes.

Kirjotut teokseni ovat ilmaan kirjottuja ajatuksia ja tilannepäätelmiä. Minulle kaikessa tekemisessä on tärkeätä väri, materiaali, tuntu ja liike. Työt syntyvät prosessina. Käytän töissäni digitaalista konekirjontaa. Ohjelmoin kirjonnat koneelle ja periaatteessa voisin antaa koneen kirjoa rauhassa koko tiedoston. Vaan se olisi tylsää ja jälki olisi teollisen toistettavaa. Sen sijaan puutun ja häiritsen kirjovaa konetta keskeyttämällä, lukuisilla värin vaihtamisilla ja harppomalla. Näin syntyy ”kädenjälki” yhdistettynä teolliseen jälkeen ja lopputulokset ovat aina yksilöitä. Käytän töissä löydettyjä ja ylijäämämateriaaleja yhdistettynä uusiin materiaaleihin. Tavoittelen kirjotuilla ajatuksilla lohdutusta, rohkaisua ja iloa kokijan elämään.
My embroidered works are thoughts and occasional moments woven in the air. In all that I make, colour, material, touch and motion are essential. My embroidered works are born in a process, where I program my idea into the digital embroidery machine. When embroidering, I rethink the design by making many, many color changes, adding materials and skipping parts of the design. This is how I combine boring static digital embroidery with unique craft. I like to use surplus materials and materials I have discovered by chance. I hope my embroidered thoughts bring comfort, encouragement and joy into people's lives.

Ilottelua elämään
Olen Espoossa, rannikolla asuva kuvataiteilija, joka maalaa luontoa, ihmisiä ja tapahtumia öljyllä kankaalle. Teemani saattavat vaihdella, mutta niitä yhdistää ilkikurisuus ja samantapaiset värisävyt. Elämän iloisuutta ja keveyttä korostan mielelläni tuomalla poikkeavia elementtejä tavallisiin tilanteisiin. Teoksillani yritän rohkaista katsojaa palaamaan omiin hyviin muistoihin ja kokemuksiin. Jokainen muisto, kohtaaminen tai maisema on hyvin henkilökohtainen, ja se kätkee sisälleen tunteita ja muistijälkiä joita voi olla vaikea sanallistaa. Usein huumorin ja ilon kautta viesti ja samaistumispinta tulevat esille.
Joy to life
I am an artist living in Espoo, on the coast of Finland. I paint nature, people and events with oil on canvas. My themes may vary, but they are united by humor and similar color tones. In my opinion, the cheerfulness and lightness of life can be perfectly emphasized by bringing unusual elements to ordinary situations. With my works, I try to encourage the viewers to return to their own good memories and experiences. Every memory, encounter or landscape is of course very personal, and it contains feelings and memory traces that can be difficult to put into words. Often, through humor and joy, the message and the surface of identification come to the fore.

A produção de Marcilio Carvalho foi iniciada em 2015, de forma espontânea, através do papel e caneta. Um novo mundo foi proporcionado a ele, pois ali estava uma forma de encontro consigo.
Sua fonte de inspiração é diversa, por vezes um bom filme, por vezes um amor, ou até mesmo sentimentos em suas diversas manifestações. Ele não tem controle sobre o que vai criar, mas tem a possibilidade de escolher um tema central e desenvolvê-lo.
As suas obras causam reflexão aos olhares, pois exprimem, de forma visceral, sentimentos e pensamentos, provavelmente vindos, em boa parte, do seu inconsciente.
Marcilio Carvalho's production began in 2015, spontaneously, through pen and paper. A new world was provided for him, as there was a way to meet him.
His source of inspiration is diverse, sometimes a good movie, sometimes love, or even feelings in their various manifestations. He has no control over what he will create, but he has the possibility to choose a central theme and develop it.
His works cause reflection in the eyes, as they express, in a visceral way, feelings and thoughts, probably coming, in large part, from his unconscious.

Marcus Frade nasceu no Rio de Janeiro em 1970, onde vive e trabalha até hoje . É bacharel em Desenho Industrial, com habilitação em Projeto do Produto pela Escola de Belas Artes (EBA) da UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro). É pós graduado em Arte 3D para Jogos Digitais pela Faculdade CCAA.
Possui um trabalho com personalidade forte, linguagem orgânica e permeado por cores vibrantes. Quando quer extrapolar a sua arte para o lado sensorial, utiliza diversas técnicas de modelagem para dar o efeito de auto-relevo. Seu processo criativo é dinâmico e compreende técnicas variadas, interligando conceito, projeto e prática.
Sua arte abstrata não representa objetos próprios da nossa realidade concreta exterior. Utiliza-se de relações formais entre cores, linhas e superfícies para compor a sua realidade na obra. Utiliza como base um abstracionismo lírico ou expressivo inspirado no seu instinto, no inconsciente e na intuição para construir uma arte imaginária ligada a uma necessidade interior com influência do expressionismo.
Joga com formas orgânicas e aplica cores vibrantes dentro de linhas de contorno para deixar sobressair a obra não figurativa. Sua obra pode sair um pouco do abstracionismo, entrando no figurativo, em momentos de lucidez, levantando questões de críticas humanitárias sem perder a essência da sua arte.
Marcus Frade was born in 1970 in Rio de Janeiro, where he currently lives and works. He has a degree in Product Design from the Escola de Belas Artes, UFRJ, and a postgraduate degree in 3D art for digital games from Faculdade CCAA.
He possesses a body of work with a strong personality, organic language and permeated by vibrant colors. When seeking to transcend his art to the sensorial realm, he employs several modeling techniques to achieve the effect of high relief. His creative process is dynamic and encompasses an array of techniques, interconnecting concept, design and practice.
His abstract art does not represent objects belonging to our external concrete reality. He blends colors, lines and surfaces to compose his own reality within his artwork. He draws inspiration from his instincts, unconscious and intuition, basing his art on lyrical or expressive abstractionism to create an imaginary art connected to an inner need influenced by expressionism.
Marcus plays with organic forms and applies vibrant colors within contour lines to bring out the non-figurative aspect of the artwork. His work may occasionally depart from abstraction and venture into the figurative realm during moments of ludicity, raising questions of humanitarian critique without losing the essence of his art.

Utiliza-se dos pressupostos da Fotografia e do viés crítico da Sociologia para pensar as temáticas de sua pintura. A formação em ambas linguagens exercem grande influência no processo criativo da artista, onde percorre-se por comportamentos, crenças e sentimentos humanos.
“Antropomórfica” é o trabalho composto por uma série de pinturas desenvolvidas pela artista carioca Marí Soares, nas quais as imagens se articulam sob o paradoxo irracionalidade humana – animalidade racional.
A personificação animal revelada nas pinturas sugerem o resgate da harmonia, da leveza, do sensível , tão presente no mundo animal e por outro lado tão perdido entre nós, numa sociedade partida e embrutecida.
Nesse sentido, as imagens servem como metáfora de um mundo nem sempre possível e visível e nos convida a questionar até onde conseguimos ser racionais.
She uses the assumptions of Photography and the critical bias of Sociology to think about the themes of his painting. Training in both languages exert great influence on the artist's creative process, where she walks through human behaviors, beliefs and feelings.
“Anthropomorphic” is the work composed of a series of paintings developed by the artist from Rio de Janeiro, Marí Soares, in which the images are articulated under the paradox of human irrationality – rational animality.
The animal personification revealed in the paintings suggests the rescue of harmony, lightness, the sensitive, so present in the animal world and, on the other hand, so lost among us, in a broken and brutalized society.
In this sense, the images serve as a metaphor for a world that is not always possible and visible and invites us to question how far we can be rational.

Marcelo Galvão
A despeito de sua aparição relativamente recente na cena artística carioca, o artista Marcelo Galvão transita com desenvoltura pela pintura e a escultura, abordando uma temática variada - que vai do mais puro lirismo à aguda crítica social - por meio de composições que têm como marca característica o emprego de formas geométricas como elemento estruturante. Em suas telas, o uso competente da cor suaviza a rigidez dos contornos retilíneos, conferindo aos trabalhos do artista grande vivacidade, sem prejuízo à harmonia pictórica; nas esculturas, por sua vez, prevalece a monocromia. Por essas características, os trabalhos de Galvão estabelecem diálogos notáveis - sem recair, contudo, no pastiche - com diversas correntes estéticas do século passado (notadamente o suprematismo e o neoconcretismo) e com obras de artistas consagrados como os Metaesquemas de Helio Oiticica e algumas das composições de Aloísio Carvão.
Despite his relatively recent appearance on the Rio de Janeiro art scene, artist Marcelo Galvão moves with ease between painting and sculpture, addressing a varied range of themes - from pure lyricism to sharp social criticismthrough compositions that are characterized by the use of geometric forms as a structural element. On his canvases, the competent use of color softens the rigidity of the straight lines, giving the artist's works great vivacity without compromising their pictorial harmony; in his sculptures, on the other hand, monochromatic tones prevail. Through these characteristics, Galvão's works establish notable dialogues - without falling, however, into pastiche - with various aesthetic movements of the past century (notably Suprematism and Neo-Concretism) and with works by established artists such as Helio Oiticica's Metaesquemas and some of the compositions by Aloísio Carvão.

-Miksi maalaat yhä Marikka, mikä on olennaista? Vastaan: kädenjälki. Käteni jäljen kautta syntyy aika, paikka ja näkökulma, joka on omani. Jos teen työtä hartaasti ja tinkimättömästi pystyn tarjoamaan jotakin aitoa sanattomaan keskusteluun tuomalla henkisen ponnisteluni esiin materian kautta.
-Mitä haluan kertoa? Ehkä, että meidätkin on sidottu materiaan, kulkemaan hetken ainutkertaisina. Tämä elämäksi kutsuttu tapahtuma, jossa vapaana virtaava tietoisuus on sitoutunut haavoittuvaan orgaaniseen materiaan on hämmästyttävää. Eikö maalaaminen olekin sille allegoria?
-Why are you painting Marikka? What is essential? And I answer: the handprint. My hand paints time, space and viewpoint of my own. If I work carefully and uncompromisingly I am able to offer something genuine to nonverbal conversation, to bring out my spiritual struggle via a material product.
-What do I want to say? Perhaps, that all of us are bound to matter -to exist for a moment as unique beings. This phenomenon called life in which free-flowing consciousness is bound to vulnerable organic matter is astonishing. Isn't painting an allegory to that?

I started in art in 2016 when I went through a psychologically difficult time, at that moment I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and was admitted to a psychiatric clinic. There, with the help of psychologists and psychiatrists, I started painting as a therapy and never stopped it. Art was not only a savior for me in relation to my troubled thoughts, but as a professional achievement. Until then, I had gone through 3 colleges, including medicine, but I always had the soul of an artist. I am very sensitive. I am cancer sign. Soon, I found in painting a path that I would really like to follow. My art is very much linked to fashion. I paint contemporary dolls, with big eyes, big lips, with vitality of color, visual multilingualism and brushstrokes full of emotion. Art helped me find my emotional balance and it is through art that I express my feelings. Since 2016, I’ve done some exhibitions in the state of Santa Catarina and São Paulo, interviews on radios, televisions and newspapers,essays and public notices with my works, magazine reports, ect. I also took some painting courses, but I am always keen to perfect my work in a self-taught way. I attack my canvases with strokes and brushstrokes. I don’t delete it, I let it flow. And so, I realize myself in my world, making art come to life.

Mario Marques
é um pintor totalmente identificado com o abstracionismo informal, utilizando exclusivamente a técnica da pintura a óleo sobre tela. Suas obras são caracterizadas pela criação livre e espontânea no uso das cores e formas, com predomínio da liberdade nas variações de matizes, alternando suavidade e intensidade em cada trabalho, bem como no uso de texturas, na busca de expressão própria e autêntica de sentimentos, emoções e impressões. Inspira-se em artistas abstratos como Kandinsky e Tomie Ohtake, mas apenas como referência, sempre na busca da sua própria identidade. Iniciou sua formação em artes plásticas com a pintora Nega Scarambone, prosseguindo com aulas na Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage, no Rio de Janeiro, com o professor Chico Cunha. Participa regularmente de exposições coletivas no Brasil, em galerias e centros culturais.

He began his training in plastic arts with the painter Nega Scarambone, continuing with classes at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage, in Rio de Janeiro, with professor Chico Cunha.

Mario Schuster
Mario Schuster nasceu em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Passou a infância em contato com a natureza e observando o comportamento dos animais. Graduou-se em Medicina Veterinária pela Universidade Federal de Pelotas - UFPel, mesma universidade onde ingressou no curso de Bacharelado em Artes Visuais, graduando-se em Pintura .Atualmente é proprietário do Laguna Casa Atelier, localizado na praia do Laranjal, Pelotas, Brasil. "A sensibilidade do olhar para além do que nos é dado, do que nos é entregue decodificado, se revela em suas pinturas onde a realidade do mundo contemporâneo surge de maneira sutil, porém dramática, para abordar temas sensíveis como violência, racismo, injustiça social ou sentimentos como a solidão urbana e as relações humanas em tempos voláteis. Estes fatos cotidianos, imersos na melancolia que povoa a passagem lenta do tempo no espaço doméstico ou no turbilhão de noticias e imagens que nos bombardeiam diariamente, poderiam tornar-se invisíveis. No entanto, numa fração de segundos, a pergunta do artista sobre o sentido desses acontecimentos instaura um modo de (re)significá-los com o fazer artístico que potencializa os modos de ver e pensar sobre isso, de (re)significar o real, através da arte"

Mario Schuster was born in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He spent his childhood in contact with nature and observing the behavior of animals. He graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Federal University of Pelotas - UFPel the same university where he entered the Visual Arts Bachelor, graduating in Painting. Currently, Mario works on his studio Laguna Atelier & Art Space, located at Pelotas's Laranjal beach, where he promotes exhibitions, debates on art, and art residency. "The sensitivity of looking beyond what is given to us, decoded, is revealed in his paintings where the reality of the contemporary world appears in a subtle but dramatic way, to address sensitive themes such as violence, racism, social injustice or feelings like urban loneliness and human relationships in volatile times. These everyday facts, immersed in the melancholy that populates the slow passage of time in the domestic space or in the whirlwind of news and images that bombard us daily, could become invisible. However, in a fraction of a second, the artist's question about the meaning of these events establishes a way of (re)signifying them with the art making that enhances the ways of seeing and thinking about it, of (re)signifying the real, through art."

82 Impunity Shots acrylic on canvas 102 x 135 cm 2021
Kevään valoa Keväinen päivä meren äärellä. Kuljen rantatietä ja aistin meren tuoman tyyneyden. Pehmeä valo heijastuu veteen. Meri liplattaa ja soittaa musiikkia. Maalaushetki on keskittymisen aikaa. Se vie arjen toiselle puolelle tiedostamattoman luomisen hetkeen. Työtä ei voi aina itse selittää, nautinnon ja tekemisen ilo kaikkine aisteineen on lähellä sydäntäni.
Spring light A spring day by the sea. I walk along the boardwalk and feel the calmness of the sea. The soft light is reflected in the water. The sea is lapping and playing music. The moment of painting is a time of concentration. It takes you to the other side of everyday life to a moment of unconscious creation. You can't always explain the work yourself, the pleasure and joy of making with all the senses is close to the heart.

Kävelymatka työhuoneelle talvisena päivänä on minulle usein meditatiivinen kokemus, joka tyhjentää ajatukset ja virkistää. Nämäkin teokset ovat syntyneet talvella.
Walking to my studio in winter is often meditative and refreshing experience. For me it is a way to free my mind before starting to work. My paintings in this exhibition also originate from the winter season.

Olen innokas tutkimusmatkailija maalauksen maailmassa, jossa tahdon löytää ja kohdata arvaamattomia ja odottamattomia yllätyksiä. Pohdin inhimillisyyttä ja haluan välittää ajatuksiani ja tunteitani abstraktion ja värin keinoin. Teosteni nimillä on tärkeä osa ja tehtävä ajatusteni ja aikomuksieni välittäjänä katsojalle.
Painting is an adventure where I am an anxious explorer -I want to go for the unexpected! I question humanity and try to convey and express my emotions through abstraction. The naming of my work carries a message that plays an important role for the viewer as a mean for understanding my intentions and thoughts.

Olen mieleltäni utelias ja perinteisiä totuuksia kyseenalaistava kuvataiteilija. Minua kiinnostavat ihmisten käyttäytymiseen ja eriarvoistumiseen, sekä eläinetiikkaan liittyvät kysymykset. Käsittelen asioita empaattisesti ja tutkivasti. Työskentelen monilla eri kuvataiteen tekniikoilla ja käytän teoksissani symboliikkaa. Valitsen tekniikan sen mukaan, miten se parhaiten palvelee ideaa, jonka haluan toteuttaa. Toiset ideat toteutuvat parhaiten maalaamalla, toiset piirustusjäljellä tai valokuvaamalla. Näiden lisäksi käytän tekniikoina myös monotypiaa ja installaatiota. Työskentelyni pohjana on useasti käsinkirjoitettuja muistiinpanoja, huomioita tai kysymyksiä.
I am an inquisitive visual artist that questions conventional truths. My interests involve human behavior and inequality as well as animal ethics. I approach these and other topics with an empathic and investigative attitude, using a wide range of artistic techniques; such as painting, photograph, installation, monotype and drawing. In my works I use symbolism. Often, my work is inspired by everyday observations recorded in handwritten notes.

Eu, Mônica Toniato Borges, formada em odontologia, exerci a profissão durante vinte anos, quando despertei a arte em minha vida. Mergulhando fundo nas minhas ideias. Sempre tive a arte fazendo parte do meu ser. Dos primeiros passos das aulas do primário, como os desenhos e artesanatos feitos em casa. Já me fascinavam as portas e janelas vistas em Paraty, depois encontradas em Portugal e cidades como Paris, Praga, Viena... A visão das lindas portas e janelas para o mundo. O que se pode ver, absorver e criar através delas. Meu olhar não se cansa em alcançar o infinito.
The infinite universe imagination dweells in me. I'm Monica Toniato Borges, visual artist. Developing my work mixing paints and textures where i create "Doors and Windows", to see through them regards molded in my memories. Wherever i finished a work, I feel grateful to be part of God's immense painting. It's a unique and sublime feeling.

Na verdade eu encontro na abstração, uma linguagem quase descritiva! No desenho está o começo de tudo, pode ser carvão, pode ser nanquim. As marcas provocadas exigem uma resposta; pode ser massa, pigmento ou água, aquarela ou acrílico. Mas deve estabelecer ou restabelecer o equilíbro e sempre contar uma história.
Actually, I find in abstraction a language that is almost descriptive. The beginning of everything lies in a drawing. It can be either coal or indian ink. The marks made demand an answer, in a dialog. It can be putty, pigment or water, watercolor or acrylic. As long as They establish and re-establish the Harmony. And Always tell a story.

Taiteilija Nina Sinkkonen työskentelee valokuvauksen, piirtämisen ja installaatioiden parissa. Hän löytää inspiraationsa lyhytaikaisuudesta, perinnöstään ja lähiympäristöstään sekä luonnosta että työelämästä.
Valmistuttuaan kokiksi lukiossa Nina työskenteli monta vuotta ruoanlaitossa. Parin merimatkan jälkeen ja useita vuosia Australiassa vietettyään hän palasi kotiin Ruotsiin vuonna 2001 toteuttamaan unelmaansa koulutuksensa jatkamisesta kuvataiteilijana. Taidekoulun ja Göteborgin valokuvausyliopiston kandidaatin tutkinnon jälkeen Nina toimii toisinaan kokkina ja välillä taiteilijana. Nina asuu ja työskentelee Ruotsissa.
Nina Sinkkonen is a multi disciplinary artist who works with photography, drawing and installations. She finds inspiration in the ephemeral, in her heritage and her immediate environment both in nature and in working life.
Nina trained as a chef in high school. She then worked for many years cooking. There were a couple of trips at sea and many years in Australia before she returned home to Sweden in 2001 to follow her dream of furthering her education in fine arts. After art school and a bachelor's degree from the University of Photography in Göteborg, she is now both an artist and a cook and therefore sometimes works as a chef, sometimes as an artist. Nina lives and works in Sweden.

Io pittore non sono nato e non sono cresciuto. Ma poi è arrivata la pandemia, spartiacque di vita. E così dipingere è diventato medium terapeutico per sfogare le angosce e sbrigliare le mie giornate dalla costrizione. Un tentativo di imprigionare la mia inquietudine su tela pur sapendo che è come cercare di chiudere nella mano un raggio di sole. Successivamente la mia esperienza pittorica si è fatta altro. È diventata espressione di una sensibilità maturata attraverso esperienze personali, da quella di padre a quelle di proprietario di un locale notturno a Berlino, osservatorio privilegiato sull’essere umano. Lo studio e la lettura mi hanno fatto scivolare verso la consapevolezza, mutuata da Füssli, che “l’arte è il prodotto di una colta depravazione nella quale il Sapere è la base reale della visione”. I miei soggetti nascono dalla sofferenza, dalle dipendenze e dalle miserie umane. Dalla corruttibilità della carne e dalle glaciazioni dello spirito. Sono figli dello spleen. Emarginati in un mondo che ha perso ogni riferimento al sacro, al divino, al segreto, all’infinito, al solenne, al sublime. In cui l’ossessione per la prestazione ha causato l’infarto dell’anima.
I was not born a painter, nor I was raised as one. But then the pandemic came, a watershed moment in life. And so painting became a therapeutic medium to vent my anguish and cleanse my days from the burden of confinement. It became an attempt to imprison my disquiet on a canvas, even though I knew it was like trying to grasp at rays of sunlight. Eventually, painting became something else. It became the expression of my emotional growth. Growth which came to me through personal experience; from becoming a father to being owner of a bar in Berlin, a privileged position from which to observe humankind. My study and readings have led me to the conclusion, to quote Füssli, that "art is the product of a depraved culture, in which knowledge itself is the real foundation of seeing”. My subjects are born from suffering, from addictions and from the misery of humanity. From the corruptibility of the flesh and the glacification of the soul. They are children of my spleen. Misfits in a world that has lost any connection to the sacred, to divinity, intimacy, infinity, solemnity, or to the sublime. A world in which the obsession with the results has led to the death of the soul.

Nasci em Buenos Aires Argentina em 1981, com 23 anos mudei para o Brasil. Com a minha família de artistas e apreciadores no mundo da arte foi chegando a minha inspiração pessoal. Trabalhos em tela com acrílico e em papel com aquarela, e as técnicas misturadas também faz parte de criar. O mundo feminino e sobretudo de época são a minha maior inspiração. Criei um estereótipo de mulher alongada onde chamo elas das “ minhas belas”, exóticas , misturas de modernas com retrô. Inspiradas no século XV, com roupas penteados e jóias de época, trazendo um estilo único, uma mistura de épocas e estilos que pinto em acrílico. Já em aquarela crio rostos femininos, modernos e realistas na grande maioria, sempre coloridos com olhar intenso. Quando crio entro no meu mundo interior e desejo transmitir a minha visão pessoal, levando a imaginação ao pincel, me deixando levar. As ideias são infinitas e nós somos a conexão.
I was born in Buenos Aires Argentina in 1981, at the age of 23 I moved to Brazil. With my family of artists and appreciators in the art world, my personal inspiration began to arrive. Work on canvas with acrylic and on paper with watercolor, and mixing techniques is also part of creating. The feminine world and especially the period are my greatest inspiration. I created a stereotype of elongated women where I call them “my beauties”, exotic, modern and retro mixtures. Inspired by the 15th century, with clothes, hairstyles and period jewelry, bringing a unique style, a mixture of periods and styles that I paint in acrylic. In watercolor, I create female faces, modern and realistic in the vast majority, always colored with an intense look. When I create, I enter my inner world and I want to convey my personal vision, taking my imagination to the brush, letting myself be carried away. The ideas are endless and we are the connection.

Nelisenkymmentä vuotta vierähti opetustyössä. Merkittävän osan luovuushetkistä jaoin luokkahuoneessa lasten ja nuorten kanssa. Taidematkat, maalaaminen ja viimeisinä vuosina erityisesti kuvanveisto kulkivat päivätyöni rinnalla. Pronssi- ja keramiikkaveistoksillani kuin myös maalauksillani olen ottanut osaa moniin yhteisnäyttelyihin niin kotimaassa kuin ulkomailla. Yksityisnäyttelyjä olen pitänyt sekä Suomessa että ulkomailla. Taideyhdistystoiminnassa olin mukana kymmenisen vuotta; jäsenenä, sihteerinä ja pari vuotta puheenjohtajana. Päätoiminen kuvataiteilija olen ollut kymmenen vuotta. Minut on valittu Tampereen sekä Jyväskylän Taiteilijaseuran jäseneksi. Aiheet teoksiini saan kodista, luonnosta, ihmisistä ja eläimistä. Veistokseni synnyttävät tarinoita. Taiteilijan aika kuluu siivillä. Ehkäpä siksi moni veistokseni on saanut siivet selkäänsä. Tällä hetkellä savi kiehtoo minua kovasti ja siksi teen keramiikkaveistoksia. Maalauksessa käytän monipuolisesti värejä. Akryyli- ja öljyväri näyttelevät pääosaa. Veistoksiini olen yhdistellyt mm. vanhoja valokuvia ja lasia. Pitsinen pinta antaa raskaimmallekin veistokselle sipauksen keveyttä.
Some forty years elapsed for me working as a primary school teacher. Thus, a significant number of my creative moments were shared with children and teen-agers. Alongside my work, I travelled on art trips, painted, and, in particular in the last years, immersed myself in the art of sculpture. My bronze and ceramic sculptures, as well as my paintings, have featured in a number of joined exhibitions at home and abroad. I have also held solo exhibitions both in Finland and abroad. In addition, I was active in art societies for about a decade – as a member, secretary and finally chair for two years. I have been a full-time artist for the last ten years, and am a member of the Artists’ Associations of both Tampere and Jyväskylä in Finland. My art work is inspired by the home, nature, people, and animals. In my paintings, oil and acrylic paints play the key role, and I like to use colours in plentiful ways. My sculptures, on the other hand, bring about stories. For an artist, time flies. Perhaps that is also why many of my statuettes have acquired wings. Currently, I am very much fascinated by clay and have, therefore, focused especially on ceramic sculpting. In my statuettes, I have merged, for example, old photographs and glass. A lacy surface gives a light touch even to the heaviest of sculptures.

Suomen luonto, voimalla vaihtuvat vuodenajat. Kevään valo, kesän kirkkaan lempeät kukat. Syksyn värimyrsky, iltojen muuttuminen pimeydeksi. Talven uinuva valkoinen hiljaisuus, pakkasen kouraisussa mielen ja kehon käpertyminen sisäänpäin. Suuri luonto avaa meille ihmeitään valon ja pimeyden ulottuvuuksissa. Oma elämä vaeltaa osana tätä mysteeriä. Lyhyitä hetkiä, jotka muuttuvat ja katoavat. Kaiken alku ja päätös on luonto.
Teoksiini valitsen usein kierrätysmateriaaleja. Niissä olevat ihmisten jäljet haastavat jatkamaan kertomusta. Työssäni ARCTIC LIGHT hehkuu himmeähohtoinen pohjoinen valo. Olen muotoillut ja rakentanut sen käytetystä alumiinista, joka maasta otettuna on kiertänyt tehtaiden kautta koteihin ja ihmisten käsiin. Palvelunsa päätyttyä heitetty tarpeettomana pois. Minun käsiini. Muuttumaan pohjoisen taivaan hehkuksi.
I love Finland’s nature, rich manifestations of the seasons. I love silence of the snow landscape, explosive force of the spring time, light of the summer nights, storm of the autumn colors.
I find forms challenging, and have created three dimensional mixed media art works. Starting from the collage and progressing to relief structures. Pittoscultura, picture sculpture. In these works I try to find balance between plastical form and painting. Since 2000 I have worked as a visual artist. Solo exhibitions in Finland, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and the USA. In Finland most of my exhibitions have been in galleries in Helsinki. Participations in international collective exhibitions and art fairs in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, England, Finland, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malta, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.

Olen porilainen kuvataiteilija. Olen Muu ry:n, Ornamon, Texon, Lasitan sekä paikallisten taiteilijaseurojen jäsen.
Tekemiseni on monipuolista, mutta viime aikoina olen keskittynyt valokuvateoksiin ja niiden muokkaamiseen. Viimeisimmät julkiset teokseni olen tehnyt porilaisen koulun lattiaan. Ne on tehty yhdessä koulun oppilaiden ja lastenkulttuurikeskus Kruunupään kanssa. Ne ovat pyöreitä lasiteoksia, jotka on liitetty suoraan koulun lattiapintaan. Kolme suurikokoista lasille tulostettua valokuvateostani, sekä yksi videoteos on myös satakuntalaisen sairaalan korjausrakentamisen yhteydessä sijoitettuina kirurgiselle osastolle.
Olen tehnyt yhteistyötä italialaisen galleristin Rosa DiDonnan kanssa, teoksiani on ollut esillä eteläisessä Italiassa useamman kerran.
Pyrin teoksissani muokkaamaan näkemistäni asioista itselleni merkityksellisiä vaikutelmia. Kuvaan paljon, teokset ovat usein kasveihin ja maisemiin perustuvia maalauksenomaisia tunnelmia. Tulostutan muokkaamani valokuvat usein lasille, puulle tai pleksille, joskus myös kankaalle.
I am a visual artist from the town of Pori. In addition being a member of our local society of artists, I am also a member of the Artists' Association MUU, Ornamo Art and Design in Finland, The Finnish Association of Textile Artists TEXO and Finnish Glass Artists LASITA.
My work is in many mediums, but currently I am focusing on photographic pieces that are edited and manipulated. My most recent public works are glass installations in the floor of a school in Pori. They were created together with pupils at the school and the Children’s Cultural Centre Kruununpää. They are great round disks of glass that have been imbedded flush with the surface of the floor. Three large photographic works of mine were developed, printed and rendered in glass, along with a video installation, in the surgical ward at the county hospital in Satakunta in conjunction with renovations at the hospital.
I have collaborated with gallerist Rosa DiDonna, and my work has been on exhibition on numerous occations in southern Italy.
In my work I try to shape the things I see into impressions that are meaningful to me. I photograph a lot; the subjects are often plants and landscapes with a painterly mood. I print my edited photos on glass, wood or Plexiglass, occasionally on canvas or fabric as well.

Olen Pellossa, Lapissa syntynyt, nykyisin Hyvinkäällä asuva kuvataiteilija. Piirtäminen ja ympäristötaide ovat minulle mieluisimpia ilmaisumuotoja. Piirrän sarjoittain, viimeksi surrealistisia piirustuksia sarjaan: Niin metsä vastaa. Minua kiinnostaa kovasti aika ihmisen sukupuuton jälkeen, millaista mahtaa olla elämä puhtaassa luonnossa. Olen myös järjestänyt kesänäyttelyitä Pellossa, ARTakatie, johon olen kutsunut suomalaisia nykytaiteilijoita. Samoin olen yhtenä ollut järjestämässä ympäristötaidenäyttelyä, Palas Taidepolku, Hyvinkäällä.
I’m a visual artist, born in Pello, Lapland, nowadays I live at Hyvinkää. Drawing and enviromental art are the forms of expression I enjoy the most. I draw as series, latest series is called; ”So the Forest Answers”. I am very interested about the time after humans have gone to extinction, what would life be like in pure nature. I’ve also organized summer exhibitions at Pello, ARTakatie, in which I have invited Finnish contemporary artists. Also I have been part of organizing enviromental art exhibition; Palas Art Path at Hyvinkää.

Rosa de Jesus
Rosa de Jesus nasceu em Portugal, na cidade do Porto, no ano de 1929, formou-se em designer de moda, e imigrou com a família para o Brasil em 1957, fixando residência no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Em 1981 mudou-se para a cidade de Niterói, também no RJ. Na juventude dedicou-se ao desenho de moda, até que sua inquietude e sensibilidade levaram-na aos caminhos da pintura como forma de expressar seus sentimentos. Ponto de encontro e tensão são ambos compatíveis com a atitude solitária e reflexiva da artista. Suas obras têm a dimensão do sentimento que as cores expressam, ora cinza, opacas e indeterminadas, sinais claros de opressão e angustia, ora o sentido lírico é reforçado pelo uso do vermelho, do preto, do amarelo, do azul, enfim, da alegria e da presença afetiva da amorozidade, pondo em evidencia o que o teor simbólico pode resgatar da realidade.
Rosa de Jesus was born in Portugal, in the city of Porto, in 1929, graduated as a fashion designer, and immigrated with his family to Brazil in 1957, taking up residence in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In 1981 she moved to the city of Niterói, also in RJ. In her youth she devoted herself to fashion design, until her anxiety and sensitivity led her to the ways of painting as a way of expressing her feelings. Meeting point and tension are both compatible with the artist's solitary and reflective attitude. His works have the dimension of the feeling that the colors express, sometimes gray, opaque and indeterminate, clear signs of oppression and anguish, sometimes the lyrical sense is reinforced by the use of red, black, yellow, blue, in short, joy and the affectionate presence of amorozity, highlighting what the symbolic content can rescue from reality.

Formada em Artes Plásticas, iniciei minha carreira como escultora pela paixão de criar arte na sua tridimensionalidade, em contato direto com diferentes materiais e suportes. Mais tarde veio a pintura, o desenho e as colagens que chegaram para completar esta trajetória que tanto me fascina através de cores, formas e linhas. Toda expressão reflete em movimento, a qual estamos conectados por meio da beleza em sua individualidade. Acredito em arte no sentido de transcender o material alcançando o espiritual, sem parâmetros e preconceitos, superando todo e qualquer padrão artístico. Para mim a criatividade é liberdade de pensamento e alma, a conexão do que criamos e desejamos passar através do processo evolutivo.
With an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts, I started my career as a sculptor encouraged by the passion of creating art in its three-dimensionality, in direct contact with different materials and supports. Later came painting, drawing and collages that came to complete this trajectory which fascinates me through colors, shapes and lines. Every expression reflects in motion, to what we are connected by every beauty in its individuality. I believe in art in the sense of transcending the material reaching the spiritual, without parameters and prejudices, surpassing any and all artistic standards. For me creativity is freedom of thought and soul, connection of what we create and wish to pass through the evolutionary process.

Teosteni maalauksellisuus, värien vuoropuhelu ja valon ja varjon rikkaus ovat sidoksissa luonnon, tunteiden ja sisäisen maailmani kanssa. Luonto on paikka, jossa viihdyn ja liikun, sieltä ammennan myös tulevien teoksieni aiheet, taltioin ne sisäiseen maailmaani, josta niitä piirrän ja maalaan omien suodattimieni lävitse näkyviksi kuviksi.
Öljyvärit ja öljypastellivärit ovat käytössäni, niiden sävyrikkaus mahdollistaa löytämään oikeat vivahteet teoksiini. Teokseni ovat muuttumassa enemmän pelkistyneeseen ja abstraktiin suuntaan, ne ovat omiakuvia.
The painterliness of my works, the dialogue of colors and the richness of light and shadow are connected with nature, emotions and my inner world. Nature is a place where I relax and move around, it is also where I draw the subjects of my future works, I capture them in my inner world, from where I draw them and paint them into images visible through my own filters.
I use oil colors and oil pastel colors, their richness of tones allows me to find the right nuances for my works. My works are becoming more reduced and abstract, they are self-portraits.

Silvio Ferraz
e suas inéditas obras em madeira torneada
As obras de arte em madeira criadas pelo engenheiro brasileiro Silvio Luz Ferraz são ambientalmente sustentáveis. As peças únicas, com diversos designs, são elaboradas com madeira de poda ou demolição, especialmente as tidas como estragadas pelo tempo e cupins. As obras são magníficos objetos ocos, bowls, potes, tigelas, esferas, ânforas, gotas, urnas, garrafas, peças de xadres gigantes, cubas, esculturas e outros. “Em 2014, fiquei uma semana em Chicago (USA), depois de uma pescaria em Vancouver (Canadá) -adoro pescar!- afim de conhecer a Arquitetura e a História da reconstrução daquela cidade que pegou fogo duas vezes no final do século XIX. Conheci a revolução arquitetônica iniciada por Frank Lloyd Wright. Vi algumas peças torneadas em madeira influenciadas por este grande arquiteto e pela New Bauhaus e pensei VOU COMPRAR UM TORNO! Não há fabricação de tornos para madeira no Brasil. Nem ferramentas. Então, comprei um torno da década de sessenta, importei cinco ferramentas americanas da Thompson, e em 07/09/2016 fiz a minha primeira peça. Sem treinamento, absorvi um pouco das técnicas contando com o meu instinto. Muito elogios me deram o impulso para aproveitar os fins de semana para produzir. Alguns meses depois, um grande escritor, poeta, jornalista e crítico de arte, mestre Rogério Zola Santiago, viu algumas peças minhas, adorou, me entrevistou e publicou uma reportagem na revista EXCLUSIVE. Foi assim que meu hobby de fim de semana se transformou na minha Arte. Hoje, meu acervo conta com mais de 450 peças.”
Silvio Ferraz and his unprecedented works in turned wood
The wooden works of art created by Brazilian engineer Silvio Luz Ferraz are environmentally sustainable. The unique pieces, with different designs, are made with pruning or demolition wood, especially those considered to be damaged by time and termites. The works are magnificent hollow objects, bowls, pots, spheres, amphoras, drops, urns, bottles, giant chess pieces, vats, sculptures and others. “In 2014, after fishing in Vancouver (Canada) -I love fishing! -I spent a week in Chicago (USA),in order to learn about the architecture and history of the reconstruction of that city that burned twice at the end of the 19th century. I got to know the architectural revolution started by Frank Lloyd Wright. I saw some wooden turned pieces influenced by this great architect and the New Bauhaus and I thought I'M GOING TO BUY A LATHE! There is no manufacture of lathes for wood in Brazil. No tools. So, I bought a lathe from the sixties, imported five American tools from Thompson, and on 9/7/2016 I made my first piece. With no training, I learned some of the techniques by relying on my instinct. Lots of compliments gave me the impetus to use all of the weekends to work on new pieces. A few months later, a great writer, poet, journalist and art critic, master Rogério Zola Santiago, saw some of my pieces, loved them, interviewed me and published an article in EXCLUSIVE magazine. That's how my weekend hobby became my Art. Today, my collection has more than 450 pieces.”

”Maisemien kokeminen, värit ja luonnonelementit saavat minussa aikaan voimakkaita tuntemuksia, jotka maalauseleiden ja väririnnasteiden kautta muuttuvat mielenmaisemiksi; harkituiksi tiivistelmiksi olemisen kokemuksesta ja siihen liittyvistä kysymyksistä. Viimevuosina olen läpikäynyt murrosta maalaamisjälkeni kanssa; maalausten tietoinen pelkistäminen on samalla muuttanut niitä surrealistisempaan suuntaan. Olen huolestunut luonnon monimuotoisuuden heikkenemisestä ja (luonto)maiseman tulevaisuudesta, mikä näkyy maalausaiheiden ja genren valinnassa.”
Turkulainen Sini-Meri Hedberg tunnetaan usein pastellisävyisistä ja maisemallisista maalauksistaan, joita inspiroivat pohjoinen taivas, abstrakti expressionismi ja saksalainen 1800-luvun romanttinen maisemamaalaus. Hedberg valmistui kuvataiteilijaksi vuonna 2004 Turun Taideakatemiasta, jolloin debyyttinäyttely nähtiin Wäinö Aaltosen Museon Studiossa. Hedberg on pitänyt kolmisenkymmentä yksityisnäyttelyä ja osallistunut laajasti jurytettyihin yhteisnäyttelyihin. Hedberg on Taidemaalariliiton, Turun ja Lapin taiteilijaseuran jäsen. Hedbergillä on teoksia mm. Valtion taidekokoelmassa Ulkoministeriössä, Turun kaupungin ja Rovaniemen kaupungin taidekokoelmissa.
“Landscapes, colors and natural elements often provoke strong feelings in me. When painting, I want to connect these feelings with mental landscapes that summarize the observations about the experience of being. My aim is to paint something that is timeless and common to everyone.”
Turku-based Sini-Meri Hedberg is known for her pastel color landscape paintings inspired by the northern sky, abstract expressionism and German Romantic landscape paintings from the 19th century. In 2004, Hedberg graduated from the Turku Art Academy and also had her debut exhibition at the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum’s Studio. Hedberg has had about thirty solo exhibitions and taken part in various juried joint exhibitions. Hedberg is a member of the Finnish Painters’ Union and the Turku and Lapland Artists’ Associations. The artist’s works are included in the Finnish state art collection and the collections of the City of Turku and the City of Rovaniemi.

Maalaamisesta
Maalaaminen on ollut osa elämääni niin kauan kuin muistan. Pidin itseni ilmaisemisesta jo lapsena piirtämällä ja maalaamalla ja se tuntuu säilyvän aina vaan. Olen halunnut oppia erilaisia tekniikkoja ja erikoisin niistä ehkä kiinalainen maalaus, mihin antoi oivan mahdollisuuden se, että asuin useamman vuoden mieheni työn takia ensin Singaporessa ja sitten New Yorkissa. Maalaamisen takia olen saanut muista taiteilijoista hyviä ystäviä ja ulkomailla asuminen oli helppoa, kun siellä oli omat yhteisöt ja tiesi kuuluvansa johonkin joukkoon. Maalausaiheeni ovat olleet moninaisia, mielelläni maalaan esittävää, mutta joskus on mukava vähän irroitella ja maalata abstraktia. Maalaamisessahan on kyse siitä mitä hahmottaa ja miten sen saa tuotua esille. Taideyhteisöt ovat tärkeitä koska niihin kuuluvat ymmärtävät toisiaan.
Painting
As long as I can remember painting pictures has been important to me. Ever since I was a small child I liked to express my feelings by drawing and painting and it seems to continue as long as I live. I have always been interested in learning different painting techniques. Chinese brush painting is propably one the the most challenging one. I had a chance to learn it in Singapopore and New York where I lived with my husband who was working in those places. Working with local artists I made many good friends and living abroad was easy when knowing that we understood each others as painters. All those years I have painted in differet techniques. I have liked very much to paint visual art, though it is nice to try abstract art as well. In painting it is a question about what you see and how you show it. It is very important to belong to different art organisations and to work with people who understand what you do.

Olen Oulussa asuva ja työskentelevä independent artist. Liikkuma-alani ulottuu performanssista digitaaliseen kuvatyöstämiseen. Taiteilijuuteen vie prosessi. Minulle se tarkoittaa elämänmittaista etsintää, tutustumista eri taidelajeihin sekä niiden että olemiseni kohtauttamista. Taiteilija edustaa minulle kriittistä tutkijaa. Aiemmin työskentelin monia vuosikymmeniä toimittajana ja kriitikkona. Paitsi visuaalisia taiteita olen opiskellut muun muassa kirjallisuutta, draamaa, Live Artia. Olen valmistunut kuvataiteilijaksi Turussa, olen opiskellut myös Jyväskylän, Tampereen ja Lapin yliopistoissa.
I´m independent artist, who is living and working in Oulu. My field of artistic expression extends from performance art to digital image processing. Artistry is a process. For me, it means a life-long search, getting to know different art forms and them then encountering my being. To me, the artist represents a critical researcher. Before this I worked for many decades as a journalist and critic. Except visual arts, I have studied literature, drama, Live Art, among others. I graduated as a visual artist in Turku, I have also studied at the universities of Jyväskylä, Tampere and Lapland.

Sonja Soller, born 1976 in Munich, Germany, has been working as a freelance artist since 2010. After studying design and art, the artist specialized in abstract and gurative acrylic mixing techniques. Emotionality and depth, usually expressed in many layers on top of each other, give your paintings their very own expression. The artist expresses both the highs and the lows of human existence in her very own way, always in search of the deeper meaning, for the big picture. Sonja Soller's artistic expressiveness ows onto the canvas with an irrepressible audacity, ready to catalyze the mind on a whole of great impact. The artist has concentrated on acrylic mixing techniques, until she reaches a remarkable level of mastery, and distinguishable from her rst glance.
The "Woman With a View" which seems to look in the wideness of a romantic dreamworld seems to be disturbed somehow. The viewer of the painting may start to think that something in this painting is in disorder. The surrounding, the nature, where the woman is standing seems to be disturbed. Cracks are breaking her face and it`s not clear, if it`s summer or winter, cause there are owers aswell as snow. What does the woman dream of? Why is her surrounding not seeming to give sustainability? We might start to think about a romantic view of former times, which is not there anymore, cause the godgiven sustainability is shaking as our climate, our believes and our prosperity are ckling.

Olen syntynyt 1957 ja koulutukseltani fyysikko. Olen kuvannut 16-vuotiaasta asti. Tämä on kolmas yhteisnäyttelyni. Aikaisemmin kuviani on ollut esillä Ava-gallerian järjestämissä yhteisnäyttelyissä New Yorkissa ja Tokiossa. Yksityisnäyttelyitä minulla on ollut kolme parin viime vuoden aikana. Valokuva on mielestäni valmis vasta, kun se on vedostettu paperille. Haluan aina itse saattaa työni lopulliseen muotoonsa ja siksi vedostan kuvani itse. Näyttelyn kolme kuvaa on vedostettu taidepaperille.
En juuri rajaa kuvauskohteitani etukäteen, mutta kuvaaminen ei kuitenkaan ole sattumanvaraista. Jo varhain minimalismi viehätti minua paljon, vaikka silloin en sitä osannutkaan sanoiksi pukea. Minimalismi luonnehtiikin parhaiten suhdettani sekä kuvamiseen että valmiisiin valokuviin. Minulla on ollut aina intohimoinen suhde harmaasävykuviin. Viimeaikoina kuviini ovat ilmestyneet myös värit. Tässä näyttelyssä esillä olevat kolme teosta olen kuvannut väreissä, minkä jälkeen tein niistä harmaasävyversiot. Lopuksi sävytin kuvat kolmella eri sinisen sävyllä.
Jos olet kiinnostunut valokuvistani, ota yhteyttä: If you are interested in my photos, please contact: tapio.hyvonen@elisanet.fi
Kuviani löytyy myös Instagrammista: My photos can also be found on Instagram: @tapio.hyvonen
I was born in 1957 and I am a physicist by training. I have been shooting since I was 16 years old. This is my third joint exhibition. In the past, my pictures have been exhibited in joint exhibitions organized by Ava gallery in New York and Tokyo. I have had three solo exhibitions in the last couple of years. In my opinion, the photo is only ready when it is printed on paper. I always want to finalize my work myself, and that's why I print my pictures myself. The three pictures in the exhibition are printed on art paper. I don't really limit my shooting targets in advance, but shooting is not random. Even early on, minimalism attracted me a lot, even if I didn't know how to put it into words at the time. Minimalism best characterizes my relationship with both filming and finished photos. I've always had a passionate relationship with grayscale photos. Recently, colors have also appeared in my pictures. I photographed the three works on display in this exhibition in color, after which I made grayscale versions of them. Finally, I tinted the images with three different shades of blue.

31 years old, born in France-Bretagne. He creates mainly in Bretagne and in his art studio is located in the heart of the family village in Portugal (Braga-Tibães). His dual culture Breton and Portuguese has a strong influence in his art. Very active and curious, he travels around the world, in search of new inspiration and materials. His art feeds perpetually. It develops through encounters personal, each one leading him to discoveries new artistic and artisanal techniques, each telling a particular story. Self-taught, ArT.Omas has been painting since childhood. He grew up between town and country and participates in family projects. His family made up of peasants and artisans (wood, cement, plaster, painter-decorator...), is a first mentor and determined his vocation as an artist. Art has always been present in the artist's life. Its attraction is materialized by its choice to follow a training in Art History and Architecture during his graduate studies. After having taken other paths and followed a course prolific professionals devoted to the ecological transition.
ArT.Omas chooses to devote itself fully to creation on all media in 2021. He offers paintings full of life and colors, all imprinted with his signature: lines, curves and plastic and recycled elements. Nature and movement are key sources of inspiration for the artist. The genesis of his art is located at the meeting point of his years spent feeding on the shapes and colors that surround it and its days wandering around the museums, which have become veritable spaces for expression.
ArT.Omas paints canvases with vibrant energies. He practices the dance flow “the body in motion”. Within cultural buildings and places rich in stories. He uses his body so that his soul reveals and expresses the energy of moment. To then reinterpret everything in painting. Art.Omas develops his spirituality on a daily basis, which he deploys on several practices: yoga, meditation, therapies… He is also interested in psychology, philosophy, and religions.

10 vuotta sitten aloitin oman muistikuva-arkistoni, maalaten pieniä 8 x 8 cm kuvalappusia mieleeni pysyvästi piirtyneistä asioista. Asioista, jotka edelleen muistan yhtä selkeästi, olipa niiden näkemisestä tai kokemisesta kulunut vuosia tai vuosikymmeniä. Kuvalappuja kertyi 80 ja tietenkin niitä on tullut jokunen lisää. Olen jo pitkään hyödyntänyt noita lappuja, kopioiden niitä tulostamalla, pienentäen ja suurentaen, työstäen ja järjestellen niitä. Viimeiset kaksi lappua ovat viime vuosilta: Punakardinaali-linnun (Cardinalis Cardinalis) silhuetti ja kultakuoriainen (Cetonea Aurata). Kultakuoriaisen kanssa minulle kävi samoin kuin C.G. Jungille: Cetonea Aurata ilmestyi eteiseni matolle yhtä yllättäen kuin aikoinaan Jungin työhuoneen matolle Wienissä. 36 Muistitikkua rasiassa-teokseni rakentuu 36 kuvalappusesta, Kirjeitä kultakuoriaiselta koostuu teksteistä yhdistettynä kuoriaisen hahmoon.
Ten years ago I founded my own memory archive. I painted small 8 x 8 cm pictures of things which have a special meaning to me as they have stayed in my mind throughout the decades. Originally I made about 80 pictures and of course their number has grown a bit.. I have worked and played with those pieces ever since- copying them, making them smaller or bigger, arranging and rearranging them. The last two picture pieces are from recent years: A silhouette of the red cardinal ( Cardinalis Cardinalis) and the rose chafer (Cetonea Aurata). My meeting with the rose chafer was somewhat similar to C.G. Jung´s meeting with it: The beetle landed on the carpet in the entrance of my home, just like it once landed on the carpet of Jung´s study in Vienna. My work 36 Memory Sticks in a Box is built with 36 picture pieces and Letters from Cetonia Aurata combines texts with images of the rose chafer.

Ulla-Maija Vaittinen
Suomen Taiteilijaseura matrikkelitaiteilija www.ulla-maijavaittinen.fi
Ulla-Maija Vaittinen debytoi Valtakunnallisessa Nuorten näyttelyssä 1972. Siitä asti hän on osallistunut lukuisiin yhteis- ja yksityisnäyttelyihin sekä Suomessa että ulkomailla. Välineinä ja materiaaleina ovat olleet mm. pronssi, grafiikka, maalaukset, installaatiot, videot, valokuvat, tila-, performance- ja ympäristöteokset. Kautta koko tuotannon sisällön johtoajatus on ollut sama: halu käydä keskustelua kuvien ja teosten välityksellä. Aiheena on ollut muun muassa ilmastonmuutos ja maailman ekologinen tilanne. Viimeaikaisissa teoskokonaisuuksissa keskiössä on ollut lasten haavoittuva elämä ja asema tässä kaoottisessa ja ennalta arvaamattomassa maailmassa. Teoksissa lasten aseman symboleina ovat olleet tyhjiksi jääneet keinut. Sotaa käydään nyt Euroopassa sekä monessa paikassa maailmaa. Ukrainassa käytävä Venäjän hyökkäyssota ei voi olla vaikuttamatta nyt esillä oleviin teoksiini. Teokset ovat muuttaneet muotoaan yhä abstraktisemmiksi tässä sekavassa ja vaikeasti hahmottuvassa maailmassa. Mottona Vaittisella on: Taide ei voi muuttaa maailmaa, mutta sen avulla voi vaikuttaa tunteisiin ja parhaimmillaan se synnyttää keskustelua. Vaittinen on opiskellut Taideteollisessa Korkeakoulussa (nyk. Aalto Yliopisto) Vaittinen on Suomen Taiteilijaseuran ja Helsingin Taiteilijaseuran jäsen. Ulla-Maija Vaittinen asuu ja työskentelee Helsingissä.
My current works reflect on the position of children in this violent and chaotic world. Around the world abandoned swings swing away in light as well as shadow as symbols of both dark and sacred memories. These images of empty swings symbolize the lives of our children in the world of today. Will these swings ever be used again or will they remain abandoned? UllaMaija Vaittinen first exhibited at The National Youth Exhibition in 1972. Since then she has participated in several group and solo exhibitions. Her techniques vary from works in bronze, graphics, painting, installations, videos, performance and environmental works. Her most recent works have been videos and photographic collages. Russian War of Aggression against Ukraine has deeply influenced the contents of my work. Ulla-Maijas motto is: Art may not change the world, but it can impact people´s emotions and their way of thinking and arise discussion. Ulla-Maija Vaittinen has studied at Art Industrial High School of Helsinki (now a part of Aalto University of Helsinki). She has taught visual arts in many sectors since year 1979. She is a member of many Art societies. Ulla-Maija Vaittinen lives and works in Helsinki, Finland.

Asun Helsingissä, kesäisin eteläkarjalaisessa saaressa. Valmistuin Vapaasta taidekoulusta Helsingissä v. 1989 taidemaalariksi. Olen Taidemaalariliiton jäsen. Olen pitänyt yli kaksikymmentä yksityisnäyttelyä sekä ollut mukana yli neljässäkymmenessä ryhmä- tai yhteisnäyttelyssä Suomessa ja ulkomailla. Berliinissä meillä oli yhdessä mieheni, taidemaalari Tapio Lötjösen (k. 2018) kanssa kymmenen näyttelyä, viimeinen v. 2017.Viime vuonna osallistuin Suomen lisäksi näyttelyihin Brasiliassa sekä Japanissa. Maalauksiani on mm. Suomen valtion taidekokoelmissa, Turun taidemuseossa, Alkon ja Suomen Taideyhdistyksen kokoelmissa. Maalaamisessa tärkein tekijä minulle on väri. Aloitan yhdellä värillä, lisään, poistan, sekoittelen ilman tietoista aihetta. Usein maalauksen pohjalle ilmaantuu jokin luontoheijastuma, vaikka työ kulkisikin aivan eri suuntaan. Käytän eniten öljyvärejä, kesäisin myös pastelliliituja sekä vesivärejä. Maalaaminen merkitsee minulle vapautta, mietiskelyä sekä alitajuista matkaa.Toivon saavani maalauksiini aistittavaksi rauhan ja syvyyden tunteen.
I live in Helsinki, Finland, but in summertime on an island in South Carelia. I graduated from Free Art School, Helsinki, 1989 and I am a member of the Finnish Painters Union. I have had more than twenty solo exhibitions, and I have participated in more than forty group- or shared exhibitions in Finland and abroad. I had together with my late husband, artist Tapio Lötjönen, ten exhibitions in Berlin, latest 2017. Last year I have participated in exhibitions in Finland, in Brazil, and in Japan. My works are represented in many official art collections e.g. The Finnish State Art collection, The Art Museum of Turku, Alko, Suomen Taideyhdistys. Colour is the most powerful factor for me. I begin my work with one colour, then adding more, removing some, painting without thinking first. Often some of the colours of nature are reflected in the first layers of the work. I paint oil works in my studio and aquarelles or pastels in summer, outside. Painting for me is freedom, meditation and a subconscious journey. I strive for feeling, peace and depth.

“A Transparência da Imortalidade”
Técnica mista pintura sobre vidro
Inspirada na cultura dos povos pré-hispânicos, mais tarde consagrado na obra “La Catrina” (A Dama de La Muerte), de José Guadalupe Posada, a caveira como símbolo de proteção contra energias negativas, mas também como homenagem aos mortos, na crença, que no crânio, se guardavam todas as memórias.
Xana Boarotto, nesta exposição, consagra esta homenagem à vida dos retratados numa técnica de pintura sobre vidro. No claro da côr com oposição ao escuro do crânio, numa transparência entre a vida e a morte, que fica a imortalidade da obra.
“The Transparency of Immortality”
Mixed technique painting on glass
Inspired by the culture of pre-Hispanic people, later enshrined in the work “La Catrina” (The Lady of La Muerte), by José Guadalupe Posada, the skull as a symbol of protection against negative energies, but also as a tribute to the dead, in the belief , that in the skull, all the memories were kept.
Xana Boarotto, in this exhibition, dedicates this homage to the lives of those portrayed in the painting on glass. In the light of the color contrasted with the dark skull, in a transparency between life and death, therefore the immortality of the work.

Yasemin Lümalı
My name is Yasemin Lümalı, I am a freelance artist from Türkiye. Even though a strong passion for art occupied my mind since my childhood, I did not know much about professional painters before I started to regularly study in the private studios of the famous Turkish Painters Mr. Şeref Bigalı and Mr. Yusuf Taktak.
In my childhood, I used to paint the portraits of men and women whom I had seen on black and white photographs, in an effort to create a transitional expression between realism and modernism. The same effect can be seen in my recent works.
Art for me is a kind of a mind game, a dialogue within my own conscious and emotional world. As a designer I make spontaneous touches on my artwork. This process is extremely painful, but helps me getting into this game and performing my work with a childlish enthusiasm.
The work I produced for the BELA Biennial 2023 with the theme "Transparent Loneliness" by using geometric forms in my multimedia work is full of messages: How did we all together in the days of pandemy started painfully isolating ourselves from the outside world, restricting regular human interaction mostly to virtual communications. These days were followed by a war and a devastating earthquake disaster. My work has another message: Virtual communication has been completely dominating our lives and causing social withdrawal and isolation as well as introvertedness.
Ben Yasemin Lümalı, serbest ressamım. Sanat tutkusu beni çocukluğumda sarmış olmasına rağmen Ressam Şeref Bigalı ile Ressam Yusuf Taktak özel atölyelerine devam edinceye kadar profesyonel ressamlar hakkında hiçbir şey bilmiyordum.
Çocukluk yıllarımda siyah-beyaz fortoğraflardan seçtiğim kadın ve erkek portrelerini kara kalemle realism ve modernizim arasında geçişgen bir ifade ile resmederdim. Aynı bu etki yakın zamana kadar ürettiğim işlerimde de görülür.
Sanat benim için kendi bilinç ve duygu dünyam arasındaki dyalogtaki bir tür oyun gibidir. Son derece sancılı olan tasarım aşaması sonrası üretim aşamasında spontan eklemeler beni bu oyunun içine iter ve çocuksu bir coşku ile üretirim.
BELA Biennial 2023 için ürettiğim bu son ‘Şeffaf Yalnızlık’ temalı işimle geometrik formların kolaj çalışmalarıma girmesi ve ifadesi ile Pandemi günleri ile başlayan heryerde hepbirlikte dış dünyadan nasıl sancıyla kopmamız ve kendi içimize çekilmemiz ile başlayan yanlızlaşma ile üzerine eklenen savaş ve yıkıcı deprem felaketi ile sanal iletişimin yaşamımızı işgali ile ‘içimize çekilme ve yanlızlaşma’ görülür.
