Adélia Clavien Adélia Clavien from Miège (VS) is born in Portugal and has the Swiss nationality where she has lived since 1981. Although she spent a long time among the artistic community in Valais, she attended her first painting courses and started photography in St Gall where she lived 10 during years. Curious and passionate, Adélia has been fascinated by Arts since she was young and has been working in the IT domain for over 20 years. As an artist, she works in an autodidactic and passionate manner. She explores various painting technics (acrylic, charcoal, sand, stained glass, epoxy resin etc) and use her knowledge of photography to created original paintings mixed with photography – New Pop Realism.

The various presented themes allow us to escape in a colored and mysterious universe – Adelia’s universe. Adelia works part-time in order to have more time for her artistic activities (photography, painting, music, dancing). Self-educated, she is multitalented, speaks several languages, plays several music instruments, is comfortable with the new technology, and is a naturally open person.

Fernando Pessoa IV | photo montage printed on aluminum | 83x100cm 7

Adriano Bernetti da Vila Undoubtedly color is the guiding element of my way of painting. "Color is a quantum electromagnetic vibration, but with it we also transmit an emotional vibration. For me, painting is first of all knowledge of the world, nature, humanity, history and emotions. As far as I'm concerned, the word art inspires me respect and I prefer to talk about painting instead of art, which means expression of sensations, a path to deepen some aspects of nature and emotions. Trying to express and convey in some way the feeling of power of an imaginary ocean wave, or colors inspired by a sunset, or to recreate the emotions linked to a particular state of our life through an abstract painting, could be, I repeat it could be, something that comes close to art.

But the real essence of a painting is the emotions that it can create in the eyes and in the soul of those who look at it”

Happy Bouquet | Acrylics on canvas | 60x50cm 13

Beatriz Lopes Lopes In my work I try to show my vision of the world, like every artist, I think I need to show my perspective and my memories from an optimistic and colorful approach. For me, color itself is a pure expression of feelings, ideas and ideals.I try to always have nature and light present in my works, I think that in a symbolic way, all my paintings are essentially pieces of landscapes and memories.

Going into the big hole I Oil on canvas | 135x79cm 15

Domingo Parada I believe that, as a painter, my creative work is fruit of my awareness of the world which surrounds us. But the world is not only a visual world. It is also the immensurable world of our interior mind, its landscape of emotions, imagination and fantasy. All that exists in the Universe is constantly created by energy. This energy manifests itself in billions of vibrations, among this is light. Light is color. The infinite colors of the spectrum together with the geometric forms that are essence of the Universe give me a palette that I can use to demonstrate the moments of my conscious experience. My work can be interpreted by consciously or un-consciously grasping the vibrations of the light in all of its forms and colors as if they were a form of pure music.

Violin Concerto | Acrylics on D'Arches paper 300 | 71x56cm 17

Elisabeth Vaz Elisabeth VAZ born in 1972 in Isère, self-taught painter. I started painting a little over 22 years ago, often in the evening when the children are asleep and sneaking around! Yes in secret because in my entourage we do not understand my new craze for painting ... Being of Portuguese origin, in our environment Art is not part of our culture or my education ... I persevere despite everything because it brings me a lot, I who am quite withdrawn, in front of my canvas I finally express myself, I transmit my emotions, I am me in another world, I exist. In my paintings we find a dominance of warm tones, a lively and luminous palette. When I started I worked with brushes and very quickly I integrated the square and the rule. I mainly work with oil, I recently tried acrylic and aerosol. After a period marked by intimate and relatively confidential work, I decided to show my work to the general public. My first exhibition will take place in 2008 at the Grenoble Painters 'Market, for the next 8 years, I exhibited at the Hôtel de l'Europe in Grenoble, at the Comptoir de l'Armaccord, at the Marché de l'Art d' Annecy and in St Cyr au Mont d'Or. This will be followed by an individual exhibition at the Lyon City Hall and other exhibitions. https://www.elisabeth-vaz.com/ | elisabeth.vaze@orange.fr

Leonor Trindade Sousa “I am what life does to me .... I am the rest of everything and the beginning of a lot...”

Leonor Trindade Sousa, was born in Vagos, Aveiro - Portugal. She finished school on the Arts’ area at Liceu Dr. Manuel Laranjeira in Espinho, the city which saw her growing up.

Since adolescence that curiosity and intuition awakened her to the world of arts, particularly to the painting. Through various techniques ... from figurative to abstract ... from acrylic to oil ... She has painted different collections. Her entire work results from a great stoicism and struggle. An unusual tribute that shares the spirit of solidarity, which feeling is to contribute to the demystification of a more egalitarian freedom and justice through her art, not forgetting her intrinsic female condition in parallel the most remarkable and sensitive condition, the motherhood. Meeting Leonor Sousa is to know the hardships that shaped her character, her personality and her fight for a more fraternal world. Her curriculum already has a huge amount of individual and collective exhibitions, either national or international (Portugal, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Luxembourg, Denmark, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Norway, Colombia and U.S.A.) She also received several awards from Brazil, Italy, Spain, France, India, U.S.A, Life gave her the ability to express herself through art. https://leonorsousapintura.pt/ | leonor.limas.sousa@gmail.com

Deep Sea | Oil on canvas | 120x160cm 25

Michael Henry Ferrell In my work I endeavour to portray life in a positive light, to show the love I have for the world, its cultures and the environment in which we all live. The interpretation between colour, texture and the way that people interact with their surroundings are very important to me. If in my own way I can use my art to bring love, happiness, and the appreciation of life into the lives of people who see my work then I have achieved my goal. In the end it is up to the individual.

I work in oils, watercolours, inks and pastels. I do not like to tie myself down to any one media or subject matter.

Café with a view | Oil on canvas | 60x90cm 27

Natália Gromicho A gifted painter, in the purest sense, Natália has skillfully created a body of work that is simultaneously lyrical and mysterious, jubilant yet poetic. Employing these paradoxes, she skillfully applies her raw talent into different mediums and styles creating a sense of flux, depth and dominance.

Natália's work takes elemental images, from nature and the landscape to culture and individuals she encounters on her travels, and transforms using dramatic ploys such as contrasts in scale, shifts in focus, irrored reflections, staccato images, and multiple or layered surfaces.

Sensory perception for Natália is a spiritual activity, one that leads to a heightened awareness of both nature and culture—this thought process points to a new kind of realism—one that is engaged with the actual processes of life. Yet, it also references the theoretical avant-garde conceptions of deconstruction emerging during Modernism.

Pessoa perdido em Lisboa 2017 | Acrylic on canvas | 180x180cm 29

Pejo The Belgian artist couple, winner of The London Art Biennale 2019. In real life and in artistic life a couple that made its way into the glass art world, Johanna as Laureate Master in stained glass and fusion techniques and Peter an award winning international designer joined hands and minds to create contemporary glass art as Pejo. At first, Pejo created contemporary stained glass windows with a three dimensional twist by adding perspective. Their designs were picked up by some galleries in The Netherlands and Norway where they had their first solo exhibitions. Being restless they soon started with glass fusion techniques, small abstracts mounted in old wood to large figurative glass works. By experimenting with new materials and techniques they created their own unique style, resulting in international recognition. Their exclusive and unique designs made with the Pejo technique resulted in many international prizes and a permanent exhibition in The European Art Museum in Denmark. They just follow their urge to discover how far glass will allow them to be bent and shaped as they imagine it. The uniqueness of their art is that their style changes every time, trying to make the next challenge that enters their creative minds, they have no blue or red period, only a vision of two minds thinking alike. Pejo’s glass art is found in many homes in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Norway, Denmark, Sierra Leone, Thailand and even the United States of America. www.pejoglassart.com | pejoglassart@gmail.com

Sarka Darton My art is about looking and seeing; an investigation into the role of cognitive stimulation in the making and viewing of art. Each piece addresses issues of identity and the relationship between people and the spaces that they occupy. Working across various media, my pictures, prints, paintings and installations aim to create space, rather than occupy it. Contrasting transient and permanent imagery, figures and architecture, the viewer becomes incorporated into my work instead of just standing in front of it.

We all effect, and in turn are affected, by that which we see.

Gentle love | Ink on paper| 90x70cm 35

Sinikka Elfving Sinikka Elfving is a Nordic painter. She was born in the Northern part of Finland close to Arctic Circle. She lives and works in Norway. She is inspired by the strong contraries of the Arctic life, the dark, long and cold Winters and the bright Summers. This is revealed in her works. She uses symbols in her art which are found in nature. In that way her art becomes lyrical, spiritual and expressionistic. The metaphysical aspect of colors has a special place to embrace emotions. She is also fascinated by the phenomena of light that has certain magic in the Arctic Zones during the seasons. With her art she tries to inspire people to value the spiritual meaning of life, to protect the nature and work for peace. The Earth is our only home that we should be able to share with each others, live and let live in peace and harmony. The nature is the exclusive provider of life on Earth and our survival is depending on it. We should find a turning point in our evolution towards humanity and respect for life.

Ultima Thule | Acrylic on Canvas | 60x60cm 37

Stanislav Riha In the last three decades, I have been creating wall-mounted, cast resin and aluminum, sculptures combined with canvas and gold leaf, and exploring of computer as a tool for both realistic and digital artwork. All my life, I love to create art full of emotions and feelings "soul," with the satisfaction of fun. The direction of the last two decades is aimed at understanding and, through artwork, expressing the human struggle of emotions and adaptions. In the period of the past ten years, I have been polishing my creative work into the Surreal-abstract style. The main moto of my artwork is; Just as in a good story, the readers have space to create their image; in a good picture, the viewers have a space to create their account. Since 2009, Editor-in-Chief of IQNexus Journal, In 2015 wrote a book "Judy and Bob Dialogues," published by FriesenPress, Victoria BC, Canada,

Tam Ulriis My current work, “Paraphrasing”, is an attempt to create visual vignettes of a colorful chaos that is grounded in light and shadow. The pieces are meant to represent day dreams of a blithely world that is strikingly divorced from the one we currently live in yet oddly familiar - much like revisiting a memory. I am a self-taught painter and drawing has always been a part of me. The playfulness in my figures is a nod to the countless hours I spent doodling as a kid. I am both inspired and distracted by elements that are out of place. Because of this, my compositions are often calculated and deliberate. I work exclusively in oil - for now at least. I am merely at the beginning of this journey and I close no doors to anything that could help me find my own artistic voice.

Panic | Oil on canvas | 100x70cm 41

Yvonne Wiese As a child artclasses inspired me to paint people and I liked it very much. Therefore, when I start as technical translator, I never stopped painting only slowed down until I stopped working. Then I started in art schools and learned by professional artists. When I was introduced to paint with artist knife I found the expression I wanted. I specialized in acrylic paint layer on layer with artist knife on canvas, as I very much like the raw and not photographically expression. I paint impressively and with bright colours, and like the contrast between light and shadow. My motives are people, animals and nature from own photos and inspiration from different medias. My speciality is portraits. I have exhibitions in Denmark as well as Spain Italy , and Portugal.

In Denmark I am member of the art cooperation K21 with 3 exhibitions each year and I exhibit in Art Nordic 2020 in Copenhagen in March. I have been awarded with many international prices.
