Artists Describing Their Art:
July Preobrazhencki - My style fully reflects me as a person - it is a tense disharmony, in many ways it is about blurring and fuzziness, about chaos. I use materials that capture a unique moment this is instaX after all, what can be more fragile than a photo the size of a credit card, this is printing on transparent paper and then transferring it to something, this is processing the image with salt and acids, this is transferring the image to scotch tape, giving a psychedelic structure with the help of ebru paints, this is tracing paper - like displaying the strings of the soul and breaking glass. I also do aEURoeghost imagesaEUR with the help of a clerical corrector and cyanotype, followed by computer processing....
Veroniki Velli - One Broken Printer: Original prints for (un)original people: The Broken Printer is a series of printing experiments. A broken printer. A winter in Vienna. What happens when only half of the picture gets printed? Every print is unique and different as the collage is created through the printing process and it is only partially digitally edited. In every reprint of the same collage the result may be slightly different. Besides everything is made by one broken printer. Custom made prints with your photos or text are made upon request. Please contact me for any questions or ideas. More info:

Rebeca Calvogomez - I needed therapy. All this frustration, anger, sadness and introversion issues I've never been good at expressing my feelings with words, or asking for what I need, or saying no before I explode. And so come painting. No words, just images. Me, alone with my images. A perfect match. Even better, it could all be done with oil painting, so I needed turpentine, with that smell that I love so much maybe it makes me high, who knows. Getting your hands and clothes dirty, listening to the light sound of the brush on a canvas or a piece of wood and submerging myself in the colors and shapes that come to existence in front of me. That's how I find my pleasure. It started with painting images of small details, a tree, a rock, a street daily images that stayed with me because they captured my imagination, made me calm, or frightened me, or brought me back to some cherished memory of a sweet smell, or the wind on my naked body Windows into a world that was out there but come to live inside me. Then come "On Humanity", those abandoned dogs, and cook fights, bull fights, ...
Jonathan O'Hora - I am a professional visual artist based in Nottingham where I have been living since 2016. My work primarily focuses on nature, the environment and the human condition. Visually my work is conscious of fine art printmaking using often abandoned techniques as a way of asking the viewer to look closer. Recently, I have found using multiple exposures as a way of enhancing the single image, creating movement and encouraging the viewer to look in different ways. Having gained a Masters degree from St Martins College in 2003 I worked for Kodak until they went bankrupt in 2013. Since then I have travelled the world before starting my career as an artist in 2017....
