Roan van Oort (b. January 16, 1997, Den Bosch, near Tilburg, Netherlands) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands. His work is defined by a focus on simplicity and timelessness, exploring the emotional power found within the essential rawness of natural materials. Roan consciously chooses fragile substances like natural pigments, sand, lime, and glue to create his abstract paintings, which emphasize imperfection, authenticity, and the fleeting nature of life.

Roan’s creative process is both physical and meditative, using his hands as the primary tool to shape the materials. His technique allows the natural substances to determine the direction of cracks and variations, resulting in unique compositions that reflect a deep connection to the natural environment. His works explore how color influences our perception of landscapes and nature in its various forms.

The abstract nature of his art evokes emotions that arise from personal memories and intimate experiences rather than following a specific narrative. By leaving his paintings untitled, Roan offers viewers the freedom to interpret each piece based on their own feelings and perspectives.

Roan van Oort’s work thus becomes an invitation to pause and reflect, highlighting the subtle and often overlooked beauty of our surroundings, while celebrating the impermanence and authenticity of raw materials.

Born in 1981 in Barcelona, Chidy Wayne has established himself as a distinctive artist with a personal, minimalist, and figurative painting style. His creations, characterised by a primitive and minimalist nature, draw inspiration from both ancestral traditions and the avant-garde art scene. Through quick and bold strokes, he tackles universal themes, exploring self-awareness and internal conflict in his two main series, EGO and PUGNA, which reflect his combative spirit.

Silvia De Marchi (b. 1967, Melzo, Italy) is an Italian painter currently based in Italy. Her artistic practice reflects a deep exploration of materiality and sensory experience, moving beyond mere visual representation to engage with the physical and tactile aspects of painting. Silvia's work focuses on the interplay between surface textures and the deeper levels of meaning that can be contained within, investigating themes of fullness and emptiness, visibility and invisibility, and presence and absence.

Silvia’s creative process begins with painting large sheets of Fabriano paper using a watery mixed media ink that includes iron powder, sand, silver powder, and sometimes dust or plaster. This technique results in monochromatic surfaces rich with textures and imperfections. The paper is then subjected to the effects of natural elements (sun, wind, and rain) allowing the material to undergo transformation through wear and tear. This process of deterioration and imperfection is central to her practice, embodying both the fragility and resilience of materials over time. Following this, Silvia tears or cuts the paper into pieces, which are then assembled into multilayered compositions.These works of art evoke a sense of construction and deconstruction, subtly revealing or concealing underlying structures.

Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, Silvia embraces the ephemeral nature of existence and finds beauty in imperfection and simplicity. Her works invite viewers to reflect on the transient quality of materials and the enduring value of time, offering a profound sensory and philosophical experience.

Her art has been exhibited in venues across Italy and around the world, and his unique approach to materiality and process has been recognized both locally and internationally.
