FEATURED ARTISTS

BARBARA MARCINKOWSKA

Many years ago, I felt an urge for artistic creation. I experimented with a lot of different mediums until I found myself in painting. From the very beginning, however, I felt that what I was looking for was utterly “my” art – without imposed techniques and forms, full of freedom, beyond defined styles. I dared to fully show the world my expression. I paint what I see and feel, not what is.Images come to me spontaneously. I stand in front of the canvas, pick up a brush, choose the paint and let myself be inspired. My greatest source of inspiration is through my travel and the nature I visit. Nature combines colors in an amazing way. Regardless of whether it is a color palette of Asia or Poland in winter, the colors arouse great emotions in me. After returning from a journey, I later find these newly recognized color combinations in my paintings. The paintings present the world around us, but not seen by most. They show the energy which surrounds us, that we live and walk through daily. It connects the present to our past. The world is full of life that we take for granted daily and it surrounds us all. It is the air we breathe, taste and smell.
The paintings are a doorway between what our eyes see and what they do not. The colors of energy encompassing us all connecting everything.

CHRISTOPHER PULVINO

Christopher Pulvino is a passionate artist from NYC with a lifelong love for creative expression. He began his artistic journey as a child, sketching animals and futuristic scenes, which eventually led him to study arts at Pratt Institute. There, he honed his skills in figure drawing, art history, and computer graphic design, and explored various art forms influenced by Tribal Art, Cubism, Modernism, and Abstract Figurative design. His expertise in 3-D computer modeling and animation earned him recognition from the renowned Hollywood studio, Rhythm & Hues, where he worked on notable projects. Despite creating stunning home theater systems and captivating coral reef aquariums upon his return to NYC, his primary passion lies in crafting original wall art. His latest works showcase a unique style, using acrylic painted paper with limited hues to create high contrast sharp edges and express contemporary and abstract figurative themes.

CLOE GALAZO

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1995 & raised by a Painter, Cloe Galasso generated a great
interest in the visual and corporal environment. At the age of 21, she received a Master in Design
in University of Palermo. She complimented her studies in a self-taught way exploring different disciplines such as acting, analog photography, sculpture, and new technologies in art and design, seeking to find her own way to fight against the lack of exposure of women in the art world. In 2020, in the context of the pandemic, she was introduced to oil painting, becoming with
sculpture, her favorite areas of work. Since then, she has shown her art in Buenos Aires, New York, London and Milan.

HELENA JUNGERMANN

Helena Jungermann is an artist and designer, living and working in the Gothenburg area of Sweden. She has a long career in graphic design, but in recent years she has moved on to working primarily as a painter. Helena is a member of The Swedish Artists’ Association (KRO) and The Association of Swedish Illustrators and Graphic Designers (Svenska Tecknare).
Helenas visual awareness arose at an early age. A lot of inspiration came from her mother, a
well-established ceramist. As soon as Helena could hold a pen she started to draw.
Helena has been educated at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland and at College for Graphic Designers in Lund, Sweden. In her paintings on canvas or shape sawn wood, Helena explores the dynamics of geometrical shapes in interplay with colour. There is a perceived three-dimensionality, where the shapes can sometimes change under the viewer’s gaze.

MARK WEISS

Snoqualmie Valley based painter and geographer, Mark Jeffrey Weiss, has years of
experimentation in a variety of creative arts and craft, with the past 4 years focused on painting.
Mark is influenced by the abstract expressionism and surrealism movements and continually
seeks novel ways to represent his subjects. He uses a variety of experimental techniques in hopes of drawing the observer into a space where they don’t simply see the subject but also sense the possibilities embedded within.

PETRA BERNSTEIN

Petra Bernstein is an American based artist, whose work ranges from paintings of flora and fauna
to abstract interpretations of nature’s mystery. The German born multi disciplinary artist finds her
inspiration in nature, where she captures intriguing reflections, patterns, colors and textures with
her camera and translates them onto her canvas. After working on a representational painting style for many years, Bernstein developed a strong interest in creating more intuitive and abstract
compositions. Her organic and geometric shapes are stacked, aligned and arranged in a way that
evoke a sense of belonging and togetherness. Individual forms are fused together into tight
connections that get repeated within the composition. Petra also pursues close up and macro photography of botanicals and water reflection. She uses double exposure technique to incorporate her paintings into her photography.

ILARIA RATTI

Born in Lugano, Switzerland, Ilaria Ratti graduated in business and administration before embarking on her world travels. She has gained immense inspiration from the cultures and landscapes en- countered throughout her journey, forming an array of colors and images that she brought to life through her paintings. Believing that emotions and harmony with the universe are integral to creativity, Ilaria settled in Dubai in 2008 and has never ceased exploring new visual elements to add to her ever-growing artwork. This was initially for personal pleasure, until she decided to become more public with her art. Her work is infused with serenity and joy; according to Ilaria herself, people can interpret something different from each painting depending on their current mood but will always feel soothed by its vibrant yet calming atmosphere. Ancient yogic procedures play a role in generating this powerful energy that each piece of work exudes.
