And I feel this connection is like a continuum under different perspectives."

"Often we lose the sense of time, while we are engaged in something that interests us and gives us emotional or physical satisfaction. We don't always manage to follow this simple rule to follow our passion/interests, but we don't want to lose hope to keep going in that direction."

Working in line with lyrical (romantic) abstractionism, Nadzeya creates her own imaginative world of illusions, visions and states, and the play of lines and colors does not leave the viewer indifferent. Movement, energy flows arise on the canvases.

For Sarah, we are the product of all the bits and pieces of grand or minor individual memories and everyday experiences. Her paintings display fragmented pieces of recollections each telling a different story, as if a diary exploded on the canvas.

“For me, as a sculptor, aesthetics, elegance, sensuality, harmony, symmetry and dynamism are the concepts of the physical beauty of a human being. And the perfection comes with beautiful souls living in them..." says sculptor Thomas Welti

Victoria uses photographs, mostly in black and white, as a starting point to capture the figures and its proportions. It is the light that dictates further geometry.

Yana prefers to call her style “naive realism”, without any special reference to the gradation of our-days contemporary art. Yana reveal her artistic nature through simple images, which makes it comprehensive to everyone.
