A vibrant collection of paintings, bold acrylics on canvas, surrealism and imaginative sculpture work. Each piece invites the viewer into the vivid world of its creator, where form, colour and expression converge to blur the line between reality and imagination.
Carol Owen
Carol Owen has a BA Hons in Painting, and is a qualified art teacher. Having taught art as therapy to prison ‘lifers’ and to hospital patients with acute mental health problems, Carol is now a full-time oil painter.
Earlier in her career, Carol was a portrait painter whose sitters included HRH Princess Anne, The Princess Royal. Now she specialises in painting scenes of London, and Isle of Wight Landscapes.
Melo
Melo’s art is deeply inspired by her Peruvian heritage, and blends traditional mediums like pastel, acrylic, and watercolour, with modern digital techniques. This fusion bridges ancestral wisdom and contemporary expression, celebrating themes of faith, gratitude to nature, and family values.
Her work often portrays humans transforming into natural elements, honouring Pachamama (Mother Earth), and reflecting humanity’s profound connection to the natural world.
By integrating the Inca’s deep respect for nature with new technology, Melo’s art highlights the ongoing evolution of cultural and ecological ideas, advocating for a harmonious balance in the modern world.
Miky
A Word From the Artist:
‘The world is moved by energy, which we all carry within, a powerful light that gives us the chance to create beautiful things.
My Art wants to celebrate this light and try to translate human feelings and perceptions.
It likes to give a chance for self-reflection, it likes you to be part of a story of connections.
Colours, Emotions and History.
Light, Shades and Colours can help us find the most undiscovered part of ourselves.’
ART BY CZR
Chantal draws inspiration from the bold lines of cubism, the fluidity of abstract forms, the interplay of vibrant colours, and the quiet elegance of monochrome. To Chantal, art is limitless – a deeply personal experience, reflecting how we see and interact with the world.
This collection captures a spectrum of emotions: happiness, sadness, nonchalance, love, and pain. Each piece holds meaning, from the choice of colours to the composition and positioning. Every detail tells a story, inviting viewers to explore their own emotions and interpretations.
Jod
Jod is a Swiss visual artist who explores the diversity of mediums through performance, installations and paintings that he develops in his studio in Bulle, Switzerland.
Jod’s work is nourished by a constant questioning of the human conditions through the act of artistic expression. Through his work, he questions the intersection between consciousness and randomness, exploring paradoxes rooted in archetypes from the past, the burdens of the present, and the fears of the future.
Kate Dynan
Kate Dynan is a British Abstract artist born in East Yorkshire whose work focuses on the celebration of colour. She creates collages using previous paintings, enabling an ongoing process of recycling and recreating to take place, making new from the old.
A Word From the Artist:
‘Most of my artwork is vibrant and uplifting… but if you look deep within, not all that you see on the outside is what’s going on the inside. I channel my thoughts and feelings into my art and then use colour to camouflage them; so, it is the bright colour which initially draws people’s attention, but inside can often tell a different story.’
Liam Collins
Liam Collins is a Chelsea-born upcycling concept-artist and sculptor, whose artistic vision is driven by a commitment to environmental preservation.
Among his distinctive sculptures is the world’s first prototype: a spherical globe electric guitar featuring 18 strings and gemstone frets. Other notable creations include burial tomb jewellery caskets, a backgammon board, and a giant Oxo Rubik’s Cube titled Oxo Rubik’s Cubism.
His nostalgic wall sculpture concepts also reference iconic pieces such as Salvador Dalí-inspired Daleks.
Liam’s work has garnered attention from major media outlets, including The Times, The Guardian, Evening Standard Magazine, and BBC Radio 4. His most recent box commission was created for Liza Tivey, daughter of Elizabeth Taylor.
Talia Sullivan
Talia Sullivan is an emerging UK artist currently studying at Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia, doing an MFA in Painting and Printmaking.
In her studio practice, Sullivan explores the relationship between humanity and the vastness of the landscape. Her art often features anonymous figures seamlessly integrated into expansive natural settings.
A Word From the Artist:
‘My work explores the complexities of social dynamics, focusing on themes of control, moral injustice, and the often-overlooked nuances of collective experiences shaped by class divides and environmental forces.’
Magdalena Zahuta
Magda’s work is an emotive and deeply personal foray into nature, the world around her, and her own lived experience. Her paintings, created using oil on canvas and impasto techniques, and often built up over the course of years, are as much a physical journey as they are an emotional one.
