Diana Larina is a contemporary artist who embarked on her professional artistic journey after years of working in interior design and icon workshops. In 2019 Larina found her own style, which gained a sufficient recognition today. While working with watercolour, she primarily focuses on its form and volume, starting with the coloured cloud. Any further cloud is applied by hand, thus making the work multilayered. The process of creating coloured clouds is unpredictable in every single form. Larina’s distinctive approach lies in expressive way of working with watercolours on big formats while using no brush. What is your special process? My technique is different from classical watercolor painting, I more observe how the material behaves. I quickly become bored of drawing on paper and wanted more emotions and more space for work. Аnd I started experimenting with canvas. My work process is multi-layered, firstly I start with a pencil, then comes pigment, gold leaf, and often...

She works as an art professor teaching visual expressions at Ecole intuit.lab in Mumbai which is a Paris based Institute. She works with art galleries in Rome, Miami and Arizona. When did you decide to want to be a painter? Being introvert as a growing up teen ART was my natural expression , which became my chosen subject in school , in 2001 when Gujrat was hit by a major earthquake taking lives of around 20000 people and 167000 injured - pursuit of anything seemed without meaning after witnessing such loss - people were trying to get back to normal lives . My art activities during those times could engage children and adults - I found a loving and caring tango with my art, I was graduating in a commerce college followed by taking up company law - but it failed to interest me - I found my art...

Chris Cold is a freelance illustrator and concept artist mainly working in the gaming and movie industry. Even though his work is reflecting the darker sides of fantasy and science fiction, and sometimes horror, he enjoys all manner of things himself, from music to games to other art. His outlook is usually to ignore genres and categories and try to enjoy things just based on how well they are crafted, appreciating the effort and passion that went into them. What is so different in your art, art style and art processes? Well, I don't consider my art or style particularly different from many other artists. There certainly exist some artists (historically and in present day) with a unique style that they can be seen as one of a kind, but I'm less concerned with how my style or process is perceived rather with just what I want to show or do in the imagery I produce, any "style" that comes out of it is just a byproduct of me trying to achieve a pleasant look...

Ayla has been born in The Netherlands, but is really more a child of the world. Using every penny she had to travel the world with her camera and backpack to live her dream. Seeing the world from Asia to South America and from Africa to Sweden. This allowed her to look at life differently, because as she looked at all these cultures and people from different backgrounds, she was always able to capture the commonalities between these distant tribes from across the world. In her early teens she always wanted to do a study in Photography. Despite her parents not being able to financially support her with this, she did not give up on her passion and dreams. Learning from just putting in hours and hours of photography and editing turned her into the artist she is today. Mostly self-taught she developed a unique style that got her to rise to fame in different places, one of them being the artistic platform “Ello.co”, where she has over 4,000 followers from all over the world and hun...

Artist Sharon Brill was born in Israel. She lives with her family on the Mediterranean coast to the west having a deep need for proximity to the simple primal virgin nature. The main material she creates with is ceramic, particularly porcelain. Her way to the ceramic substance went through various stations, most of which autodidactic through a long track beginning with the studies of visual design, in which she engages for about ten years, seven of which she ran an independent studio. We have conducted a short interview with Sharon. What is so unique about your series of Porcelain sculptures technique? The technique with which I work with porcelain combines potter's wheel work at first with hand work later on. I break apart shapes and restore them, add or subtract material or, take apart or put together in a manner that sometimes does not match the customary nature of the work with porcelain, for example I connect parts in different width, stretch the material to i...
