Chantal her personality is reflected in her artwork. Enthusiastic, driven, creative. Always curious, playful and adventures.

The details in her work really bring it to life and give it real presence. She is known for her great visual language. She is not afraid to spread her creative wings. Always trying new things; in the use of structure, in combining different media as well as in the use of color combinations. She has a natural feeling for color and a good eye for composition. This combined with her curiosity and braveness result in colorful energetic artworks.

Chantal lives in a rural area of the Netherlands, where nature lives around the corner. This is her greatest source of inspiration. In nature she sees the hand of the Great Creator. His tender care, unending creativity and love for details move and inspire her.

Flying geese appear in almost all of Chantal’s works. To her they stand for being courageous and going where adventure calls you to go. For being true to yourself, to your hopes and dreams, using your talent and gifts. For daring to shine your light and being authentic. Following the whispers of your heart, the lure of His dreams about you.

“I hope that people find something in my work that resonates with their soul. That they may discover new things in all the layers of the painting every time they look at it. I want my art to be uplifting, empowering and life giving. With my art I want to show something of the love and light of the Great Creator. “

 

Emma Jackson – @emmajackson.art

An ethereal experience of an audience when viewing performance arts inspired my research, with a focus on dramatization of the mundane. Absence, loss, and memory are core themes during investigations into the transmogrification of the everyday to the theatrical. Observed and imagined landscapes serve as manifestations of a moment in time – an extension of the ‘self’ now departed.

 

Marie-Pierre de Gottrau – @mpdegttrau

“Everything that has value for me is a source of inspiration. Paradoxically, it is also what is most fragile today, I mean culture, nature, and painting. I would like to evoke them in my works as references for the well-being of the viewer.

I liked what I saw, and I represented it. Whoever looks at this representation must in turn feel the same joy!”

Mariana Gumeniuc – @artmg4u 

“I am a self-taught artist from the Republic of Moldova, and from an early childhood I had a strong interest in painting.

I started studied at the Art School, but in short time I abandoned it. 18 years later, after moving to London, I decided to re-enter the world of art. From 2018 I follow my vocation in Art and color my own story! Each painting is a whole life, the inspirations come from what my eyes see, and then my mind combines them. Sensual woman is the main subject of my paintings. I use acrylics and oils that I mix directly on the canvas to give life to the ideas I have in mind. All my paintings have my personal signature as MG, from my name, Mariana Gumeniuc.

I participated in the exhibitions at Parallax Art Fair in February 2020 and October 2021, and I have a portfolio of about 50 paintings, of which 20 are sold.”
