My name is Kate Huang, I was born in 1983 Kaohsiung City, ROC. In 2011 graduates from the Taipei National University of the Arts Fine arts Creation. Specialties-Graphic Design, Painting (Acrylic, Sketch, Watercolor), Clay, Computer Graphocs. Most of my creations use brain cells as the theme of creation to illustrate the interpersonal relationship between people, and combine the abstract internalization with the external scenery to express the internal and external states.
I approach my work as being open to interpretation. When I am working on a painting would never think about meaning. I will always leave the meaning to the viewer. There is always a push and pull with the canvas. I only do what it tells me to do.
My name is Ambro Louwe. Born and living on the Netherlands. I like to make colorful paintings, different kind of sculptures and “wallscapes”. Nature and human emotions are my inspirations resulting in in a combination of abstraction and dynamic forms. I like to work in variety of materials and techniques.
My creative endeavors, particularly regarding the impacts of global warming and climate change, merge photography with digital art. I hold the view that artistic insights thrive through cross-disciplinary practices, which significantly shape my exploration of various themes. The pieces in this series strike a balance between representational and abstract styles, capturing both static and dynamic qualities.
We’re all unique. My particular uniqueness lies in the journey I’ve made – from being a damaged “caterpillar”, to undergoing an extraordinary and alarming transformation as a “chrysalis”, and eventually becoming a “butterfly” in the sunshine: finding my freedom as a person and as an artist.

Susanne Kühn represents the next generation of artists from Germany with reemerging interests in figurative narrative abstraction.

I am pursuing a unique form of art that integrates the structural beauty of mathematical theory, digital technology, and the density of color and patterns created by threads. By merging these elements with graphic design, I aim to create elegant and refined works that only I can produce. My unwavering belief is to continue creating art that is sophisticated and dignified.

In her painterly practice, Naomi Okubo develops beautiful and seductive images that mask darker themes relating to her adolescence and that are connected to greater problems and inconsistencies in society.
Neo Rauch's paintings are characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, human figures engaged in manual labor or indeterminable tasks work against backdrops of mundane architecture, industrial settings, or bizarre and often barren landscapes.
By pushing into the abstract in some cases or the hyper-realism in others, I aspire to creating images that challenge or, in the most extreme cases, subvert what we think we know about how what we call reality renders itself to us.
I often think of my paintings as visual poetry. Just as poetry distills emotion and meaning through rhythm, structure, and metaphor, I try to evoke similar layers of resonance through color, texture, and composition. There’s an economy of language in poetry that I find parallels the expressive choices I make in painting—how a single brushstroke or shift in tone can capture a complex emotional state.
I have always loved the texture and paint strokes of oil. I love the three di-mensional feel of it and I try to achieve that with heavy impasto brush strokes. One of my approaches is to use underpainting and glazing to achieve brilliance. It can be done in oil, but it is time consuming. Acrylics dry within minutes and allow you to almost immediately glaze over the underpainting. I use almost every paint tool designed to build up layers , lay in fine lines and blend soft boundaries in skies. Acrylics allow endless layers of paint as the image is built up and I think it results in depth and complexity
When I start a painting, I have a blank canvas. I don't sketch the design out; I freeform it with spontaneity. In my mind, I know how the design is going to be, but I approach it like a jazz musician—I freeform it.
