Simona Negrescu – @newinteriorsbysimona @abstractbysimona

Simona Negrescu Artist from Zurich, Switzerland with a passion for art and interior designing. Painting is a refuge, a hobby that got elevated in time to a level that challenges me every time. My canvases are unique in their simplicity owning a way of catching the light and the eye of the viewer. My work is made to touch and to be touched, to physically feel the texture of it, to better understand it, to appreciate it. I get inspired by little nothings of the everyday life and my paintings rarely look alike. Abstract painting suits me well. Mixed media with organic (seeds, sugar, beans) and non-organic elements, combined with acrylic paint is my favourite tool to create something unique on a canvas. Wherever my mind goes, my brush follows it.

Olga André – @olga.andre.studio

Olga ANDRE, born in Poland, is an abstract artist based in Normandy, France.

After years of mastering photography, more recently she turned to a new medium with the abstract drawing and painting. Inspired by a pattern, a movement, or a shape, she oscillates between a monochromatic and a more colourful palette. She ventures outside her comfort zone to embrace different techniques. Her work depicts her inner thoughts to create abstract and sophisticated works. Initially self-taught, she is receiving formal art training at the Schlum School in Le Mans.

« Constellations » is the result of a two-year voyage through artistic self-discovery and self-expression. It is an interplay between the logical construction of lines and their intuitive form. « Constellations » explore the contrast between the black and white, full, and empty, positive and negative. The artist encourages the audience to play an active role in the process of constructing meaning about her art.
