When we discuss an artist’s driving force it is often enshadowed by a familiar stigma; the tortured soul,…

“This piece is a representation of a sensation I feel when I’m experiencing an aura followed by a seizure, where my mind and my vision become impaired.
I tried to hide being an epileptic for a long time, making it difficult for myself and for anyone else to fully understand my actions. Keeping it in the dark, enabled my habit of self loathing. Creating these pieces have been an incredibly cathartic experience as I’m beginning to unravel the layers of secrecy and pain that enveloped me.”
‘Aura’ by @jeska_valk is an indeed beautiful response and visual reflection of the artist’s personal experience with epilepsy. The eyes of the subject are hidden behind a veil of lace, which Jeska chose to implement because of its “fragility and strength”. This ambivalence, which we encounter as well in relation to eyes and mouth, and all these fine and detailed patterns are just capturing.

‘Time of Dionysos’ - another creation by @sebgarmen that dwells in between the worlds of photography and painting.
The work showcases Dionysos, God of vegetation and fertility, representation of ecstasy and pleasure, who was considered as well patron of the arts - makes sense, right?

@danny.bautista__ creates characters and figures that seem to pop out of the flat surface he works on. This piece convinces through different textures and styles within one piece, especially the clouds in the background compared to the character and the way she is composed.

“From the moment I began painting aging women as a subject, I found I hit a nerve. Frequently overheard comments were shared with me, solicited and unsolicited: “You cannot paint grannies naked,” “that’s disrespectful,” or “that is not hanging above my couch” — which later became the title of an exhibition.
These intense reactions only strengthened my resolve to go deeper into this subject, as such signals indicated that it was clearly taboo. What started from a need to paint tender skin gradually grew into a personal mission to represent older women. These reactions motivated me to go on, and the public became an integral part of my work.”
Aging bodies are pushed into invisibility in the art world. Another reason to appreciate the courage and mind of @francienkrieg!

@brynnbrdar has a knack for the beautiful and surely as well for the bizarre. The materiality of her work seems soft and smooth - while her content is surely not that easy to digest.
We love a bit of a twist, don’t we?!

@melindajaneart’s ‘Holding on by a thread’ gives us a lot of space for our interpretation. While I related in the first moment to feelings of captivity and the limitation of freedom, the artist states that it “seems a fitting title for the way life can feel at times, especially with the way the world has been for over a year now.” Some pieces just swing open the gates to different thoughts and worlds!

@nikolas_tower “works mainly with watercolors and oils but he also enjoys using different mediums and mixed media on paintings, especially golden leaf and color pencils. Nikolas' style is characterized by stylized compositions, organic motifs, flowing lines and abstract elements, surrounding female & male portraiture. Through his watercolor Illustrations of otherworldly, tranquil and mysterious women & men, he is trying to convey a world of silent human feelings that cannot easily be expressed in words; a Cosmos in Silence.”
Such a serene scenery, an image symbolizing harmony in a very capturing outlook. Nikolaos Kafasis draws us into the piece by the inviting gaze of the painting’s subject directly into our direction, straight into our eyes.
