Phyllis Chua

"In addition to what I saw and felt in my father’s orchid garden as a child, Eastern and Western cultures, arts and anthropology also gave me a different worldview."

Dancing - Copic makers, technical pen, digital edit 66 x 66 cm 300€

Originally from Malaysia, Phyllis Chua, artist and pattern designer, lives in Taiwan. She graduated from the Department of Anthropology at National Taiwan University.

"I was not determined to become an anthropologist, but instead was fond of colour and design of patterns. Through travel, I visited different countries and explored the diverse and fascinating cultures of foreign people. All these fulfilled my mind and I was therefore looking forward to the worldwide beautiful colors and hoping to share them with more people. I love to collect the treasures of nature, and is full of curiosity and great enthusiasm for the nature.

My inspiration comes from my father's orchid garden as a child, Eastern and Western cultures, travel, arts and anthropology also gave me a different worldview. I am good at using watercolor and a technical pen to create on watercolor paper. The hand-painted style can better present strength, trace and temperature. Sometimes plant rubbings are used to show the richness and layering of the work. In addition to the above, I also like collage for telling inner stories. My creativity is full of passion, and creates unlimited possibilities!!"

Lovers - Copic makers, technical pen, watercolor 27 x 20 cm 150€

Janis Ferguson

Rainbow Collection - 1

"I have had a great interest in art since I was very young. My education in fashion design has been instrumental in experimenting with various materials and techniques to guide me through a design idea. Sometime later, I ventured into wire sculpting and hand crafts using various types of wires, glass beads and silk leaves to add dimension to the design. I always believe as long as I have passion, I have a project."

Belinha Silva

"I create work according to my inspirations and feelings, linked to a socio-cultural, historical, sentimental context, rather than by a painter. In order to achieve my joyful, innovative unique contemporary art, I dogged into myself and found the little something that remains to be discovered in art."

Odyseey - Painted porcelain and acrylic on canvas 100 x 100 cm $7.500

Art is Belinha's essential food of soul. Belinha was born in Lisbon and left Portugal as a baby, to live in various European countries. That's why her artwork reflects her multicultural background. Currently, she is back to Portugal. 

In Brussels, in 2005, when she attended for the first time artistic courses, she had a revelation of her life by understanding her real artistic potential, the irresistible desire to develop it and the punch to express herself artistically.

Belinha always works according to the inspirations and feelings of the moment and create her optimistic own art style, which is a universe of its own, with a mixture of Allegorical subjects, Surrealistic, Optical Art, Pop 'Art, Abstract and Figurative Art, to obtain simply a Contemporary Art Style. 

For Belinha, Art imposes a technique that brings together various processes, such as discipline, practice and knowledge. Her experience has taught her that, in order to create, you need passion, innate skill, strong sensitivity and know-how, which is not only theoretical, but, above all, practical. 

As a creator, she likes to innovate, combining textures, and materials. So, she invented a mixed technique, "Painted Porcelain & Acrylic on Canvas," that combines two completely different materials, porcelain with canvas. This technique consists of painting the entire canvas in acrylic. Then, the painting's subjects are created with pieces of white porcelain, broken by hand, drawn, painted, fired and annealed several times from 740ºC to 1000ºC, to be juxtaposed together, in order to be, finally, glued on the already painted canvas.

This new fragmented presentation gives porcelain a new life, being avant-gardism and contemporary, assuring it a place in Contemporary Art Galleries. At the same time, Belinha becomes a precursor of his modernization, obtaining with this technique, unique, innovative and inimitable paintings. 

Belinha's principal goal is to touch the artistic sensitivity of the public.
