Biography: Greetings to the Team!

My name is Kateryna Brovkova. I am an artist, illustrator & fashion designer from Ukraine.  I’m very proud and happy to be Ukrainian, even despite so painful trials for all Ukrainian people, that we are going through now.
Currently, I live in Munich, Germany. I was forced to temporarily relocate due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I’m a participant and a winner of multiple arts and fashion competitions (FIDA WORLDWIDE, DRAWADOT). I have been working in the field of fashion & commercial illustration and design for many years, as well as working on graphic content for social networks, producing my own Illustration brands of prints and postcards in Ukraine, and being a part of worldwide fashion illustration and design community.
 I have always paid attention to fashion details, patterns, textiles, and colors, starting from my parents’ clothes in the childhood 

 I was starting to draw starting 3 y.o age, and then, was learning to draw and express the forms and objects using different mediums and technics.
All my creative & business activities have always been related to design, fashion and art. Now, in the modern world, the need for sustainable fashion and reasonable consumption in common is more acute than ever. That is why I transferred part of my creativity to the digital medium. Translating fashion images in my art compilations, I appeal to the uniqueness and value of ideas, moving to chamber capsule collections.
 I believe that art has the ability to transmit global values and be an influencer for the design and fashion industries.
And of course, art is the best way to emphasize your individuality and
give meaning, special feelings, and vibes to all your spaces – private or commercial.
Since I practice Kundalini Yoga, I’m working with creative, high-vibes vibrations, and good-feeling positive energies. So all of my art pieces are created when I’m happy and full of energy and put all that energy of love and growth into art.
Thus, I share not only my art but also good vibes from this art.

Bio:

Josey Jessee (b. 2000) is an artist and college student currently living in Savannah, GA. Jessee was born and raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, until she left to attend college at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2018.

Thanks to her family, Jessee has been immersed in the fine arts since birth. Her mother is an art collector and her father a photographer. She was encouraged to create by her parents and, as such, has been making paintings since she was four. This art-positive environment ultimately led her to study many different art disciplines in college before finally settling on painting as her major.

Jessee mainly works with acrylic in abstract ways. She employs a strong use of color in her work, resulting in vibrant compositions. Besides traditional media, she has started to work with new media art, mainly digital and video.

Jessee graduated in the Summer of 2022 from SCAD with a BFA in Painting. Jessee is still deciding where she plans to move next. However, regardless of where she ends up, her cat Bread will be with her, and so will her art.

Statement:

As a young adult, having grown up with social media and advertising, I cannot help but become influenced by the idea that perfection is achievable. Growing up, I have constantly considered myself different or “other” from my peers. This inseparable part of my identity has caused me to strive for perfection throughout my life. If I was perfect, maybe I could blend into the crowd. If I were perfect, perhaps all my issues would lessen. The work I am creating is a visual representation of how the goal of trying to achieve perfection—in our work and in ourselves—is incompatible with the messiness of life.

I accomplish this in two ways: first, by using white acrylic panels that have been laser cut to create perfect geometric-shaped holes, and second, by creating abstract expressionist paintings on panels that represent the chaos in our lives. The process of assembling the works is part of the experience. While building my work, it becomes apparent that even the acrylic panel is not perfect. The closer you look, the more the defects stand out.

Ultimately I’ve come to realize that even perfection is flawed. By assembling these two components into a whole piece, the viewer is confronted with the abstract concept of perfectionism put into physical terms. I want viewers to consider how this concept of perfection affects their daily lives when viewing my work.

Biography: I am a multitasking Canadian / Brazilian professional artist, I am a member of the International Association of Visual Artists (IAVA). I was born in Sao Paulo (where I studied design and architecture).

For several years I taught how to draw and art history. I arrived in Canada in 2012, where I obtained another degree in Visual Arts at Laval University. I have lived and worked in Rouyn-Noranda, province of Quebec, since 2014. For several years I taught how to draw and art history. I arrived in Canada in 2012, where I obtained another degree in Visual Arts at Laval University. I have lived and worked in Rouyn-Noranda, province of Quebec, since 2014.

Among my multiple skills, the most important is illustration. Also, I have skills in photography, acrylic painting, watercolor, pastel, screen printing, lithography, wash-off, scratchboard, wood burning and some non conventional materials (such as eye shadows, for example). My work is very eclectic. In my journey, I explore different techniques (conventional and non conventional). My principal goal is illustration. I draw with pencils, brushes, wood burners and other tools. I look to create an impact on the public with my art. As a citizen of 2 countries, I don’t have any specific aesthetic. My work is at times realistic, at others surreal / abstract. I seek the perfection of images from the classical past combined with the attitude and abstraction of contemporary arts. The nature and complexity of human forms are my sources of inspiration. I use vibrant colors and strong contrasts on minimalist representations. My work is very luminous and vibrant. After the pandemics, I realized the world was really dark, almost miserable because of the situation. I canalized all negative energy at that moment and started to explore and research. Pandemics opened a new door for me, the world’s door. I started to know people from different parts of the planet and inspire my artwork on those people. All characters I had in my 2020 and 2021 production are inspired by real people from different countries. Ordinary people  with real problems that never thought one day could be in an art piece.

At last, I draw what I see, what I feel and I do it  with passion and instinct.

Biography: Negar Roshan, born on 6/6/1997 in Isfahan / Iran-with a degree in graphics and painting from Guilan University of Art and Architecture in 2020.
Her activity has been from 2009 until now (painting and photography)
 And she is interested in surreal and abstract and linear designs.

Beyond our intellect and logic, there are worlds that sometimes communicate with us, Creatures that live in our world.
Some from our kind and some others from kinds that are probably unfamiliar to most of us;
Many of us, humans, cannot see them as we are unable to see inner nature and emotions of our fellowman. As technology develops, humans become blind and have lost existential truth of each other and even themselves;
As if we became blind…
A frightening scream in a world that all claim sight, is complicated, while the most blind humans where those who didn’t want to see not others who couldn’t see.
Ultimately, this blindness influences everyone and takes consciousness and cognition from people in one moment, and then there’s no culture and no humanity. Technology won’t work anymore and fear and shock fills the heart of any human and will lead him to the dark like his eyes.

Biography: Why do I do my art? A valid question I suppose. The best reason I have been able to come up with is that I love to create! There is just something so fulfilling about getting lost in the process of creating…time stands still. To be able to look at an image, object or scene and recreate it on canvas or paper in the most realistic way that I can. Being able to share with someone what I’ve captured on the canvas or paper brings me so much satisfaction.

Artist Statement:

It is difficult to orient yourself toward the world and towards your aspirations as a graphics artist. The endless softwares, hardwares, grids, and codes out there make it that much more complex for one to relate a particular feeling or state of mind to their audience, and since my mood towards the world is in a constant flux, this complexity is tripled, and most of the time it is inescapably overwhelming.

At this very moment, I believe my experiments in design reflect that dual complexity of tech and emotional discharge. At the very least, my designs are an unconscious accumulation of both of these things. I use this dynamic often while I am in the works of a project. Some days this works to my strategic advantage and others not so much, but I firmly believe that this principle guides not only my work, but my very being. The balance that seems to always help bridge these conflicting principles is the usage of typography and letterform.

It is the love of written word and the obsession with design principles that join to work with the conflicts mentioned previously. Those clashing ideas are brought forward in such a way as to explain how I am feeling towards the world, my world, and the influence each one has on the other.

As a student, I am still learning the process, still engaging in those basic principles that others seem to have conquered so easily, and applying my newfound understandings to my works. I am constantly being challenged by new processes and so my hope is that while I am feeling the process out, that challenge and daring pokes forth from my works.

Biography: Dr. Heiens is an accomplished international artist whose colorful abstract expressionist works never fail to solicit an emotional reaction from the viewer.  Using color intensity and simplicity of composition, his works make a big impact without crowding the canvas. His paintings have a wonderful balance and handling of the acrylics and are intended to catch the eye of the beholder with their colors and shapes which tell a story. His paintings have a balance of color composition warm/cold/neutral with a mix of different round and edged components.
What I paint could be a landscape, an abstract or cubist design or even a combination of all three.  A landscape with cubist elements would not be unusual.  Most of my work is semi-abstract so that viewers can see what I see on the canvas.  Each art piece often consists of multiple styles and themes based on the research I have done and new areas of interest that lead to the next body of work. Interest and thoughts give life to shapes, arrangement, and color.   Color is the main emphasis in all of my paintings. My paintings all have the richest and deepest colors I can achieve.  The desire to bring out the brightest colors in my art stem from the paintings of Van Gogh.  He used color to entice the viewer to want to look deeper into his paintings.  Van Gogh stated, “the painter of the future will be a colorist in a way no one has seen before.”  That is my goal and reason for painting.

Biography: Artists bio: Danielle Dewberry is a mixed media artist based in Kennesaw, Georgia who specializes in design. She first became interested in art around the age of 10, taking inspiration from her favorite cartoons, she created her own characters and realized her true passion. Through character design and illustration, she explores concepts and emotion in visual form. Her pieces range from digital works, to small scale illustrations and paintings and consist of bright vibrant colors and detailed linework. With a more gritty aesthetic, her characters and designs are rough cut and draw inspiration from alternative culture. In the future, Danielle plans to become a tattoo artist and continue spreading her works for a wide audience to see.
Statement: This piece is a play on color and movement. Using a combination of abstraction and portraiture, I wanted to create something bold and complex. I wanted the design to feel as if it was going to break through the panel of the realm which this captain resides into our own making it sort of interactive with the viewer.

Ulf Koenig’s Biography:

Ulf Koenig lives in the City of Ulm, south of Germany. Since 2004 he works as a self-educated freelance artist and designer. Ulf’s artworks mainly address technology and architecture, reflecting his background in R&D-management. During his career as an artist he has participated in around 50 solo- and group-exhibitions in Europe, Canada, USA, received 12 honors and awards, and has published in 6 art-magazines. In order to combine fine art with novel technologies, Ulf has founded 2 interdisciplinary artists collectives.

Ulf Koenig’s Statement

Art meets Architecture and Physics! Ulf’s sculptures of his series “deformed architecture” – including the head-high wall sculptures “Complex City Complexes” – are composed of tilted space bodies. They are inspired by worldwide extraordinary designs of leaning skyscrapers like the “Puerta de Europa, Madrid”, the “Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi”, and by a lot of related architects concepts, furthermore by modern densely built skyscraper complexes like the “Moscow International Business Center”.
An essential feature of Ulf’s sculptures results from applying physics aspect: if one would fly with a very high, relativistic speed towards skyscrapers one would see the buildings just in such extreme inclinations as the elements in the artworks. This distinctive accentuation of a three-dimensionality shall stimulate art-lovers to walk around the sculptures, to experience the aesthetics and the dynamic of the composition and to play with perspectives.
The style of the wall sculptures is constructivist, in terms of strictly geometrical forms and primary colors, in addition to black and white which match or alternatively contrast to the artwork’s background.

Art Statement
For me, creating means breathing. This is a real ritual of diving into my own worlds and parallel realities. For me, creating means freedom. This is a ritual of traveling through the Universe and of feeling the gods watching us. For me, creating means the interaction of energies and subtle matters, meanings, symbols, colours, pigments, lines and canvases. It means fusion of ancientry, of the present and of the future, it means combination of higher materia and inner demons. For me, creating means my way of touching mystery and magic, that we often overlook in our daily lives.

Biography: From the day I stepped out of undergraduate school in 1974 until the present day, I have always worked almost exclusively with acrylic on canvas, or occasionally on masonite or paper.  On occasion, I draw.  I have always worked using unconventional methods, as well.  This has not been for purposes of being different for different’s sake but in order to express what I want (need?) to express.  Most recently, I have been slinging paint from ultra-fine straight pins, at very high speed, onto canvas.  The mark created by doing this just blew me away the first time I made it.  Its defining characteristic is electric energy, but the incredibly fine nature of the mark is also striking.

My work has always been inspired by an interest in physics, both sub-atomic and cosmological.  This drawing was inspired by images of sub-atomic particles.

Biography:
Born in Heidelberg in 1953, I used every free minute while studying social work at the University of Mannheim to study art, so that after completing my studies I could concentrate fully on the visual arts. Since 1981 I have been living as a freelance painter and graphic artist (autodidact) in Heidelberg. Today I work with various visual media and create my extensive artistic universe with it.
STATEMENT
Thinking and feeling, geometry and color – between these poles I explore my artistic possibilities, although with all seriousness playful and poetic components are always involved. In this way I develop a visual world that has its roots in the strictness of the constructive and concrete, but at the same time is also based on individuality and spontaneous intuition.
