Graduated from Fine Arts School of Versailles, France, Christine Marie Nobre works different technics such as painting, photography and video. She builds something like a small decor with her paintings, mirrors, lights and other things …which she manipulates with her hands. She goes off in search of adventure and on a journey in vastness as well as in infinitely small. Her mean of conveyance is light. She opens up passages to her imagination which become the visitor’s imagination through cosmic as well as spiritual or organic visions. These visions are the exact opposite of space and time.
Alexander Tinei is a Moldovan artist, who has worked and lived in Hungary for more than a decade now. The starting point for all of his works is some photo found in the media.

The details painted with almost anatomical precision are contrasted with often roughly made, abstract surfaces.

The filigree lines, together with the softened tones – sometimes restricted to a single color on a white background, hearken back to the engravings of old fairytale books.
