Childhood memories, travels, visual imagery, and the culture of Japan are some of the elements that nourished my adolescent years into full artistic expression From a very young age, I was already fascinated by travelling the world and the playfulness of memories that are integral to my work, especially Japanese culture and its symbology as it played a major role in my artistic research You can find some of these in my works like the myth of the Sun goddess : Amaterasu; the legend of the one thousand paper cranes ; and the fantastic mythological Japanese creatures . In the past few years, I worked mainly with these three symbols Some are more visible, and others are shown in a more subtle way to be able to share the idea of a common consciousness that we are not alone, and that we can find someone who supports us . A world where there is no place for alienation.

From the symbiosis of these themes, I want to be able to achieve new ways of expressing myself through the world of colours , the exotic, the innocence, and the unknown.

I believe that, world which surrounds immensurable world of our interior that exists in the Universe 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

Sonata in blue | Acrylics on D'Arches paper 300 | 72x57cm

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is not part of our culture or my education I persevere despite everything because it brings me a lot, I who am quite withdrawn, in front of my canvas I finally express myself, I transmit my emotions, I am me in another world, I exist.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 .

Casal de Indígenas | Acrylic on canvas | 80x60cm

The “Portugal Series“ evolved during my trip through this beautiful country between 2020 and 2022 The pictorial themes of my works develop completely autonomously, following neither conceptual ideas nor particular intentions . My visual intentions and color compositions are inspired by impressions and sensory perceptions Hence my paintings develop out of an intrinsic emotional movement and a state of “not knowing”

Comporta from a boat | Oil on canvas | 100x100cm

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, mirrored 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.

Rostos | Acrylic on canvas | 100x80cm

Nel Ten Wolde

Whilst in Melbourne, her work is focused on abstract landscape oil paintings in varied sizes

When working as Artist in residence she mainly works on collages with photos taken by her on long walks, mostly over old pilgrim routes, through different countries . She likes to restrict herself with the materials, to force herself to get on to other ideas to create the collages

Most recently she started to make collages on iPad, photos taken of different materials over each other, floating in water, with already existing photos . Then she adds drawing and painting on iPad

The Hug | Oil on canvas | 71x84cm

I am interested in the human tendency to find patterns and familiar forms in chaotic and random designs My creative process is based on this innate impulse and each new painting holds its own path of discovery . I begin by applying thick medium gel to the canvas . Using a palette knife, I add several layers to create a messy, unplanned topographic foundation. Contrasting colors are brushed on to emphasize the nuances of the textured surface, and at this point pumice, beads or other media is often incorporated into the mix . It is through this process of layering that I begin to detect and highlight recognizable shapes and human features that form the painting’s composition. What slowly emerges is an abstract landscape in intense and shifting colors that reflect canyons, mountain ridges, rivers, and fields In a nod to my passion for maps, the final painting invites the viewer to find their own path through this unknown territory .

The artist has a very personal style that ranges from figurative to abstract Many symbolist, tribal and multi-ethnic influences characterize her technique. Paola Korga is constantly looking for new textures to be included in her works, making them precious and unique This adds a further level of interpretation in addition to the ones provided by the colors and the subjects represented . The collage and the use of different materials is a trademark of her works, as well. The union of these elements with bright and earthy colors, ranging from the reds, orange in all its shades, and on to the browns, golden, and bronze ones, summarizes the author’s life and experiences . Paola Korga indeed travelled for years around West Africa, supporting and helping children and families in need . Her paintings, powerfully showing her genuine passion, reflect the great variety and cultural richness of the people she met, the beauty of nature as well as the unspoiled landscape She portrays the mothers, carrying with strength and elegance the spiritual, albeit heavy heritage of ancestral times . Paola Korga renders in a simple portrait the genetic emotional cultural map of a people thanks to a wise and refined use of her particular technique

The Magician | Mixed Technique | 118x95cm

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.

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,
