I am an artist passionate about many fields of art, but I mainly deal with oil painting and creating copper jewelry. My inspiration is nature, through the world of plants, animals and landscapes. In my works, I sometimes like to refer to impressionistic lights and colors, and sometimes I want to create decorative fairy-tale worlds. When creating jewelry, I am inspired by the raw patterns of primitive old cultures.

Learning in my thirties that I'm autistic has resulted in a journey of reflection, re-evaluation and self love. I paint those who identify as women and non-binary in order to improve compassion towards my internal & external self, relearning a lifetime of neurotypical conditioning and the effects of capitalism on the way I view myself, and to see bodies as the work of art they are.
I create mixed media pieces, primarily using acrylics, and simple materials such as gel wax pens and oil pastels.
Nudes and nature are my most prominent source of inspiration and subject. I believe that depicting people in their most natural form expresses a sense of honesty and vulnerability. Furthermore, clothes would date the image and constrict the artwork to a precise moment in time. I try to make the era and location somewhat ambiguous and unrecognizable, because I like to create images that are both comforting with their familiarity, but also raise curiosity and questions open to each personal interpretation.
In an aim to rekindle a somewhat lost relationship with something that is fundamental to our survival and well-being, my work focuses on the human relationship with nature. Female forms are reoccurring in my practice as they too have the ability to create and bring new life to the world. For this reason, they play the role of a metaphor for mother nature herself. Furthermore, I often include animals that I have had personal experiences with and enjoy researching their symbolic meaning
I begin by roughly sketching out my idea, and then do a cyanotype print; a photosensitive chemical process which needs to be exposed in the sun. The outcome varies dramatically depending on weather conditions and time of year. I then paint over the print with acrylic paint. The cyanotype stains the canvas, whereas the acrylic sits on the surface, creating a real contrast in textures. Furthermore, it combines a natural phenomenon with a man made medium. I also enjoy playing with scale by having recognisable plants larger than the figures, as it emphasizes how we are a small part of the world and not the center, nor the most significant...
Martin's practice reflects a lifelong fascination with a non-dualistic conception of the world, which both feeds and is informed by his interest in Buddhism, where states considered to be binary opposites can co-exist in the same time and place. The heightened sense of reality as encountered in dreams and moments of clarity is at the core of his work. His pursuit of photography, video and timbre-based electronic music can be traced back to his school days.
Photomontage and music has been the basis of much of his recent practice, but he employs whichever medium he finds most appropriate for a given project, and works include sculpture, assemblage, and chocolates moulded from his own body. He performs and records under the name "Flooded Access", and in the audio/visual project "on&off"

Erduan Xhaferi and a team of creative Mentors and Choreographers aim is to provide creative platforms for young people to express their talents and give young people from all walks of life an opportunity to be inspired.
We believe dance can be used as a tool to positively change people’s minds and opinions about each other and to become united within the dance culture. Dance itself is a universal language that everybody understands and can relate too, it removes all barriers between individuals and what they want to communicate, It illustrates the development of human culture. Society Dance Academy firmly believes that if we focus on developing the young generation, creatively and socially, it will have an impact on them and others, for a better future.
Dance creates experiences for young people that will allow them to participate in a range of dance forms and styles. As well as providing them with the experience of performing, confidence and opportunities for leadership roles.
Our vision for our students is to provide them with the highest training and give them opportunities to reach their goals by also inspiring them to carry this movement forward into the future, allowing them to become the next generation of Mentors/dancers, choreographers and teachers that continue to create society with dance. We strive to bring out their creativity and teach them to express themselves through movement, but most importantly we want all students to enjoy this experience.

I am a Colombian artist based in the UK. As an artist, I am committed to capturing the essence of Latin American culture, biodiversity and its unique heritage through my paintings. Each piece I create is a reflection of my love for the rich history of Latin America.
Through my work, I seek to inspire others to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our world.I offer a unique and diverse collection of art prints that will add a pop of Latin America to your home or workspace.
Each piece is carefully crafted to capture the essence of the culture, emotions, and traditions that make Latin America so enchanting. These prints are perfect for those who appreciate the beauty in cultural expression, and wish to embrace it in their daily life.
As a mixed media Artist the process of mono printing, painting and photo manipulation sustains Anum Hashmi’s studio practice. Mimicking the world she documents, on it’s ever changing journey as buildings, nature and people and their communities evolve and re-purpose. Collections of photographs, sketches and maps, take life in a diverse series of mixed media pieces, engaging in a meditative cycle of layering manipulating , rephotographing and then transforming into a digital mixed medium onto fabrics or unconventional materials. They’re layered to merge within its own time capsule in an attempt to capture nature, time, and changing spaces.
In the pursuit to beautify the mundane facades of everyday life, she addresses socio economical issues that displaces people along with their communities. As a british Pakistani, her fascination lies with the idea of preserving cultural traditions and practices from heritage ,migration and faith narratives, in particular the Indian sub continent from the eye of a second generation immigrant. Anum seeks to evoke and promote a sense of unity and ethnic enrichment when people of different faith and cultures interact and intertwine based on their social positions in society, whilst still giving a voice to the under represented and relay their stories.
