Early Dawn 1/2020

As an artist with Autism and Synesthesia,  I feel colors as work. My ideas are best expressed creatively through pottery. The responsive nature of clay interests me. It is malleable and forgiving, and thus pottery is naturally rich in metaphor and emotion.
I’m fascinated with exploring techniques to reveal the earthy organic textures within the clay and glazes.

Through local culture and energy of atmosphere, I create a poetic symphony composed of images, colours and harmony, which is a perfect fusion between nature, music and art.
The works will also be inspired by local culture and atmosphere. I read the unique air, consciousness of the energy and climate of the land. Then, I turn those into work.
Sound connects my hearing and sight, and it paints my mind colorfully. I want to make viewers of my work feel as if they were listening to music.

My work is based on Mozart’s music.
If Mozart is the one who composes music to link the terrestrial world to the celestial world, I am the one who undertakes him to propagate it with my painting. If Beethoven is the one who composes music to surpass philosophy, I am the one who gives it a shape with my paintings.

J・S・Bach is the old testament Bible of classical music.

Zuzana is visual artist based in Bratislava, Slovakia. She works on different artistic projects, all connected trough emotional experience, rare perception and subconscious processing. Work with color is intuitive and satisfying and therefore encoded in artwork. Creative process for her is very present, and often opening higher consciousness. Like breathing, heart beat color and shapes occur on the canvas.

Laia is a poly-creative based in Grafton, Australia, who loves combining art with various crafts in an unique visual blend. Most of her work is created within the range of digital art, illustration, paper mache sculptures, macrame wall hangings and dioramas.

Laia Kaie is an art name of Danka Jankelova. Laia was born in former Czechoslovakia in an amazing place where everything was on the edge, where everything clashed with everything sharply – cities with nature, past with the future, grayscales with fluros…in a decade where changes were imposed rather abruptly and boldly. The rapid discarding of old structures and the birth of new ones was always fascinating. Witnessing all this has become a major inspiration for Laia who’s always felt a deep and real connection to an ancient energy or spirit, and it’s world somehow long lost and gone.

Nothing can be done about the endless swirl of creation and destruction, but we have the ability to reconnect with the spirits, as only the material things cease to exist. Things get lost with time, important knowledge is forgotten. A quest to break the cycle of amnesia we are ultimately predestined to be subjected to, over and over again, due to cyclic nature of everything, has become Laia’s ultimate purpose of her work.

Laia’s art attempts to re-establish an aesthetic connection with forgotten cultures of ancient narratives and with civilizations of extreme antiquity by channeling the mystic and mythological quality into our contemporary world – creating an imaginary bridge across time through a very tangible, bright and energetic artworks and design objects.
