Sasha Hartslief has been working as a professional artist for almost 20 years, exhibiting her art in her native South Africa as well as in Europe. She works primarily in the alla prima method (also called wet-on-wet), which allows her to produce paintings in one or two days.
Los Angeles-based surrealist Alexandra Dillon brings back to life things that people throw away in the most charming way. Dillon scavenges worn out paintbrushes and other common objects to use them as canvases for portraits of imaginary people.
Cecilia Brendel’s initial art education was in Technical illustration and Graphic Arts. Her paintings reflect her earlier technical illustrating career with oil painting and the combination is a mixture of detail and representational.
Expert photographer Doris May Ulmann captured both the celebrities of her day and the rural poor of southern Appalachia in the 1920s and early ’30s with what the New York Times described as “haunting power.”
Hungarian Nikoletta Király’s drawing talent was recognized at a very early age. She has been working independently for over 15 years. The artist would like to bring back, simple joy, simple smiles on to people’s faces. Nikoletta has been a participant of Hungarian artist group residencies for many years, at which she especially likes to paint outdoors.
