Liv Fjellsol
Norway
Liv Fjellsol is a visual artist and theoretician, with multidisciplinary interest within the humanities and social sciences, who uses art to express her thoughts in contemporary society. Through a variety of studies she sees an immense value in art as a sensitive form of communication or connection when a strong voice is needed and words are not an option.
The light within, The light without
Giclee of acrylic paintings, a pair 30x30cm, 2025
These two paintings are part of Liv Fjellsol’s series “Paintings with a pulse” (Fjellsol, 2025) where she is pondering or balancing aspects of artistic freedom with research ethics and transparency. Sometimes insides are quite different from outsides. A mess is messy and should not be made pretty. Allow
clarity or reality as part of potential learning opportunities and natural growth pains leading to health and happiness.

Lolita Grabauskiene
Lithuania
I created the work “A Moment Before Eternity” inspired by climate change, which has been talked about a lot lately and which I have noticed myself. Since childhood, I have often spent summers by the Baltic Sea, where I live. I really love the white sand of the beach and the beautiful sunsets, when the sun slowly sets into the sea and the sky is flooded with golden color. However, recently I have noticed major changes in nature. The white sand beach, where many people used to spend their summers, has been clearly shrinking recently. The once friendly sea has become threatening. It has come close to the dunes, behind which lies the quiet and beautiful town of Palanga, which is so popular with Lithuanian vacationers. I am afraid that the sea may swallow it. Everything is changing at a high speed – glaciers are melting, forests are being massively cut down. People carry out their activities thinking about material benefits and forgetting that they are the same part of nature as the whole world. If humanity does not stop in time, nature will take back what is its own. And the primordial peace will reign again, turning the wheel of evolution to a new beginning.
A Moment Before Eternity

NATURE/Balance or Imbalance?
Serial Photography; 61 x 91 cm; 2025
NATURE/Balance or Imbalance? A series of 4 photos showing details of a tree combined with its shadow. The fragmented tree is in relationship with the shadow. It's the polarity, the irritation as well as the power and the beauty of life. As our planet earth has become quite vulnerable because of wars, climate change, the loss of balance etc. my message is: going through life more consciously,going out into nature, observing, being aware of the coming and going, the transformation and getting a feeling of the inside and outside through being one with nature and maybe art can touch our society for the value of life.

1_Freaks Picture Sow
2_ X-ray of fetishism # Scoptophilia
3_ Eros and Thanatos
Photography, Digital Printing on Canson paper / 50 x 70 / 2025
The three works in the Freaks Peep Show series are digital collages inspired by the surrealism of Max Ernst. They have been created as an exquisite #porno-anatomical corpse, extracted from nineteenth-century scientific and anatomical plates and combined with images from fetish magazine illustrations such as John Willie's Bizarre. They form a fragmented, random, intuitive visual and narrative corpus, recomposed with different parts of other bodies and objects, like a fetishistic Frankenstein creature, where Eros and Thanatos are present through voyeurism.

Luis Ardila
USA
My work has an expressionist-symbolist style and I use mythologies from eastern and western civilizations. Syncretism is the combination or fusion of different beliefs, philosophies, mythologies, or religions, emphasizing an underlying unity that allows an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism commonly has expressions in art and culture that can join together. I use Syncretism to develop patterns that reveal how our current culture opens itself into its different art functions to reflect our way of living, hopes, and mistakes. The purpose of my work is to find a way to communicate our history and where we are now so that people can understand that we have choices as to our present and future. Although my style has formal changes depending on the theme I choose, the purpose has not. I will continue to work on my presentation to create a broader understanding to create a better future. The prophecies that are in every mythology, philosophy, or religion will be the same today as they were in ancient times. They become alive when the patterns that created that prophecy are repeated in history.

La obra, ESPACIO HABITADO XIV, pertenece a la serie artística “Espaciamiento”, donde parto de una reflexión poética de la imagen del espacio, de mi espacio íntimo, de mi “lugar”, mi casa, mi memoria. Personal ensayo sobre la relación entre imaginación y los diversos aspectos de nuestra propia experiencia.

Esculturas de índole minimalista, pero a la vez expresiva, con la idea de casa como espacio poético, reflexivo, íntimo y metafórico y mi relación con éste. Se trata de un ejercicio de escuchar mi espacio físico y dialogar con él a través de mis esculturas.

I wanted to explore the fragile nature of what we often perceive as human progress. It reflects how the surface of order, technology, and culture can mask underlying chaos, inequality, and vulnerability. Through this work, I invite viewers to question the stability of modern society and to see beyond the polished façade of civilization. It invites us to pause and reconsider the narratives we build around progress and modernity.
Illusion of Civilization
Mixed Media/ 70x90/ 2023
"Illusion of Civilization" explores the fragile boundary between progress and pretense. Through layered textures, disrupted forms, and shifting tones, the painting suggests a world where the surface of order masks underlying chaos. Architectural hints dissolve into abstract fragments, blurring the line between constructed reality and human delusion. It asks: is civilization a true advancement, or a mirage built atop the same instincts we claim to rise above. It presents a hauntingly abstract reflection on the fragile veneer of order that humanity constructs. This work challenges the viewer to question what is truly “civilized” and whether our structures of progress are enduring realities or carefully maintained illusions

Acrylic on Canvas/ 60X60 Inches / 2023
A kind of inconsistency is forming in the human mind about each other. Against the backdrop of uncertainty, the morality of dealing with one way or the other no longer seems to be the norm. We see that moral relativity is involved, and it is difficult to defend morality in that absurdity world. We see the effect at all this in the movement around us and we see effect of it in politics, in social life, in social media without any logic, we take it head on an see that stupidity happing in front of everyone. It doesn’t matter assume that the politics around us one plagued by a devastating epidemic. Absurdity seems to have taken held in the human mind to a great extent in the present situation. Whether it is political, superstitious, or the language of human domination, it seems to be in the final stages at complete felly in the universe around us. The human mind is confused by the idea of imaginary surrealism, but whoever believes in this absurd that the universe is confused and irrational, and that any attempt to impose his order on him is ultimately unsuccessful. The effect of this is to make a home in the subconscious mind. Of the human mind and the result is that after some time we see it coming out in the form at same kind of thinking, which I am trying to in my paintings.

The existing time, environment and the human state in relation to that. Hence, the major inspiration in my work is the human form, for, I find that nothing expresses or depicts the human state in relation to its environment more profoundly than the human form itself.

Water - Land
Acrylic and luminance pencils on linen canvas/70x70cm/2024
My artworks are inspired by the delicate balance within the ecosystem and the essential role water plays in our lives. Constant yet ever-changing, water represents both a source and a symbol of renewal for me. The colors I use are drawn from nature, and through the subtle interplay of layers, I strive to capture the beauty, fragments, rhythm, and power of water, always in connection with the land.

Doesn't that sound attractive?
I invite you on a visual journey through the prism of people and beings visiting
Ísafjörður for a moment - and who knows - maybe for a lifetime.
*Icelandic flækingar (flying kings).
As a part of my work in Ísafjörður I taken heros and heroines and other species
who chose Westfjords to be their home to have their portraits taken.
I used the landscape horizon as a symbolic line about how deep my hero and
heroines are immersed in Iceland. During our conversations and getting to
know each other, I invited my characters to reflect on their life choices. How
they connect this inner mental contradictions after they decided to go
another life on the BIFURQUER.

Maria Giri Pratiwi
Indonsia
MARIA TIWI Maria Tiwi was born in the small town of Boyolali in 1966, the 5th of 6 siblings and her parents worked at a university as lecturers. Born into a family that always prioritized education, Maria had the opportunity to study fine arts at the IKIP Semarang (UNNES) college until she graduated as a bachelor of fine arts education. Maria has enjoyed drawing since junior high school to high school and her joy in the arts continued until university. Before being fully active in the field of painting, Maria had worked as a graphic designer in several advertising in Jakarta, Solo and Semarang. Maria has been actively painting again since 2014 until now, has joined a painting community in Jakarta and Tangerang, and is active in joint exhibition activities in Jakarta, Jogja, Semarang, Purwokerto. Not only exhibiting in her country, Maria also spread her wings to exhibit in other countries, Turkey, Korea, India and Japan. Likewise, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Maria remained active in online exhibition activities in several countries such as Nigeria, Argentina, Turkey, Korea. In 2018, Maria's first solo exhibition was in Jakarta, since the solo exhibition has given her more confidence to be more daring to explore herself with a style that tends to be impressive and there is a touch of cubism in Maria's work. Love and continuing to work and focus on her paintings have given sweet fruit by winning several awards at the international level. Maria's tireless persistence in voicing through her work to provide support to women around the world through her paintings that depict women who dare to be themselves, have strong principles, never give up and are gentle and full of love. In painting, Maria prioritizes the freedom to express herself through small dialogues of her brush strokes on the canvas, a very thick cubist style depicts strong characters through layers of color and the impression of its pseudo texture. Maria's work represents her personal feelings and also the feelings of women in the world to fight for women's rights to become whole individuals and dare to speak up and also hopes to inspire women to create works, especially painting or any art that provides personal space for expression.

Small World
Acrylic / 90 x110 cm / 2025
Through art can describe the state of crisis that is almost experienced by most of the world. The less supportive economic conditions in 2025 and the socioeconomic or environmental crisis that we cannot allow to worsen. Selfishness and showing power without thinking about human life will increasingly destroy the human side. Art is a very powerful communication medium to influence changes in the world to be better in the future. Small world is a work that wants to show how small the world is and as if it is only in the grasp of humans.
Maria Tiwi through the work "small world" gives an illustration that we as humans can easily destroy the dubia itself or we have the awareness to protect, care for and build and make peace and live in harmony with nature, because the destruction or life that humans live is all in the grasp of humans themselves. Let us respect and support each other for world peace and maintain life that takes place in this world together.

Sweden
I could call my self a pictorial poet and I create through intuition. Have always followed my way, observing the unusual in the habitual that surrounds us and mold it into the art. For me, creating is not an effort, more a necessity and the pictures rather emerges and needs to be created through me.
I mainly work with painting and graphics. Since 1980 I have had about 50 solo exhibitions in Sweden as well as in other countries. Participated, since 1978, in approximately 350 group exhibitions around the world, and have created a number of public art works and initiated and participated in several cross cultural projects.

Imagination has always been my refuge. A safe room to hide in, forget myself into. In that room, my life stories take shape and there it is me and my allies who decide. They all move in their fields of life, in my fields of life, and take their very own way.

Maritza Bernal
USA
Maritza Bernal, is a painter of the Figurative Realism movement. A philanthropist, convinced that Art is a Universal language, which allows the expression of the human being, from the deepest to the most superficial. Art has allowed me to support social causes, people with cancer, nursing homes, children with disabilities and other causes that deserve attention and care. The human being always looks for a way to express himself, to interact with reality from his own experience. The last 10 years. I have tried to highlight the Woman, in her role of motherhood, protection, the working woman, the enterprising woman, and also in childhood for what she represents, innocence, tenderness, protection. I admire: everything that highlights the dignity of the human being. My painting reflects the Figurative Realist style. I constantly seek to capture, on the canvas, beings that transmit emotions and awaken in the viewer, that feeling of balance, softness, harmony, that enjoys form, color and light. All Work is a process, which begins with inspiration. I am inspired by the simple, the realistic, the perfect, the beauty, the internal feelings that seek to come out, the woman, the mother, the worker, the one from our origins inspires me.
Imagination Peace
oil on canvas / 24" x 36"/ 2024
Imagining Peace, is a work that captures the essence of global serenity. In it, a white dove, a universal symbol of peace, rests on the canvas. The painter's hands delicately hold his brush, suggesting the creation of a harmonious world. The work invites us to reflect on how each of us, with our own brushstrokes, can contribute to building a future of lasting peace. It is a visual reminder that brotherhood is in our hands.

City without name

City Without Name” my presented painting— It evokes anonymity, universality, and invites the viewer to project their own emotions, memories, or experiences onto the scene. The absence of a name gives the city a mythical or dreamlike quality, while grounding the work in a familiar human
context.
✨ “Where the stars remember what the city forgot.”
🌌 “A city without a name, but not without a soul.”

SIRENA EN HORA CERO

EL Mundo le ha llegado la hora cero, una era de gran confucion, donde los valores humanos cada vez mas se caen de los mas altos blandones de la virtud. Hora cero en que el conocimiento verdadero de ser el sendero a seguir para esta generación y la venidera. Un momento donde se podran ver dos mundos paralelos, lo falzo y lo verdadero, lo visto y lo nunca oido o jamas contado. La obra que nace de nuestro ser la hemos llamado LA SIRENA Y LA HORA CERO, donde se puede apreciar todo un resto de cuidad debajo de las aguas, donde el factor sorpresa toma vida en la soledad del alma que sobreviva. La realidad que muere y la Fabula que resucita, es pues esta muestra una de las obras de la serie, Mundos de sirenas, donde incluimos veleros que representan las almas por encima del mar y las sirenas que representan todo lo que vive y existe bajo tierra. Dar a pensar, lograr el despertar, es pues parte de nuestro objetivo en nuestros olios como muestra de lo que hacemos en la pictórica en nuestra geografía para el Mundo.

A Human with a Mouth Full of Breath but Empty of Life
mixed media / 2024
A Human with a Mouth Full of Breath but Empty of Life is a visual meditation on the deep disconnect between modern humanity and the environment that sustains it. In this mixed media work, the human figure becomes a metaphor for a society that breathes mechanically, moves restlessly, and survives outwardly, yet is increasingly hollow within.
The central figure in the composition is ambiguous—neither fully alive nor entirely lifeless. Its open mouth suggests the act of breathing, the most basic symbol of life. And yet, there is no vitality in the eyes, no grounding presence in the body. Breath becomes a ghost-like function, detached from meaning, from connection, from true aliveness. The figure seems to exist in a suspended state, somewhere between survival and awakening.
The mixed media technique is integral to the emotional language of the piece. Layers of paint, recycled textures, paper fragments, and natural elements such as dust or

My painting Nature’s Little Rainbow reflects the theme “The Lost Center – Art in Crisis” by portraying a parrot whose echoed voices symbolize the search for connection and meaning in uncertain times. Amid crises that unsettle our core, the painting urges us to reclaim our voices and emotions, bringing
vibrant color and hope back to a world struggling to find its center. It’s a call to
express, connect, and heal through art.

Óleo sobre lienzo/50x70cm/2024
La intención de la obra es despertar conciencia por el cuidado y preservación del medio ambiente para evitar el deterioro de nuestro planeta Tierra. Desde la sensibilidad de la mujer que representa a la humanidad, se observa con tristeza, asombro y nostalgia hasta donde ha llegado el ser humano en la destrucción del medio ambiente. Cada día con la falta de conciencia, la contaminación, los incendios, las inundaciones, las talas de los árboles, los cambios climáticos muestran el daño ambiental que afecta y da paso al deterioro y a la amenaza del planeta Tierra. Cuidémoslo!! La pintura representa en primer plano a una mujer asombrada, dolida, impotente y llorando ante la destrucción de la tierra. Al lado izquierdo inferior se encuentran los árboles en llamas calcinados producto de un incendio y al lado derecho inferior la inundación de un río, en el fondo de éste se encuentran objetos en desuso, basuras, envases plásticos, de vidrio y toda clase de desechos tóxicos, solidos, urbanos y domésticos, que alteran el ecosistema.

My name is Mohammad Amanullah, and I am 65 years old. Currently, I am an associate professor at Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology, an institution in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and I have been teaching for 13 years in the Department of Fine Arts. Before this I was teaching in the Fine Arts Department at Rajshahi Art College. My main work is fine art and teaching; besides liking to teach fine art, I was involved in literary practice in the beginning. Art and literary practice have sharpened my understanding. I have passed a stage in the form of pictures for the masses. Still, I give more priority to the picture size for people's needs. I constantly try to simplify the complex ideas of pictures in search of aesthetics. I think God has planted the power of image in all people; man, only has to awaken his aesthetic thought through practice. He makes the world beautiful by inventing new beauty from the power of his creativity. Basically, the artists are making the future world as a perfect paradise. This is my belief and inner meditation.

The theme "The Lost Center" makes me think about how far we’ve drifted from nature and from what truly matters. I feel touched by how the Busan International Environmental Arts Festival brings together artists from around the world to share powerful messages about the environment. Their art helps us see the beauty of nature and the danger it’s in. It reminds me that we all have a role to play in protecting our planet. Through these creative and emotional works, I feel hopeful that we can come together and build a more caring and sustainable future.

Acrylic on canvas,183x95cm,2023
What is happening around us? Everywhere we look, there is rapid development and a rush to transform fate — towering buildings, luxury cars, glittering attire, conversations in foreign tongues. It seems as though everyone is ascending to a higher place. Yet beneath this shine lies an ache — a quiet erosion of the heart, a sorrow rooted in the loss of self. We find ourselves breathless in a race with no pause. What we long for is the return of our lost joy, our sense of stability. Not a progress built on cold stone and lifeless concrete, but one that honors feeling, belonging, and soul.

Landscape in My Heart
Mixed media on paper / 73 x 53.5 cm / 2025
The central theme I seek to express in my work is the aesthetic emotion that humans experience when encountering natural objects—such as flowers and trees—that are easily found in our everyday surroundings.
I strive to depict both the visible world of tangible phenomena and the invisible world of inner perception—complex images felt through the heart rather than seen with the eyes. My aim is to capture and convey the fleeting moments of emotion one feels when seeing and sensing flowers and trees.
In terms of technique, I create rough and earthy textures by adhering a mixture of sawdust, red clay, and hobun (oyster shell white) onto traditional Korean jangji paper. Layers of color are then applied repeatedly to create a sense of depth and overlapping impressions on the surface.

9642(구름사이)
장지/20x40/2023
구름은 감정, 기억, 생각 같은 비물질적 요소들을 상징할 수 있고,
그 ‘사이’는 그것들 사이의 틈, 즉 마음이 쉬거나 빛이 스며드는 공간입니다.
작품은 "정보(9642숫자)로 채운 감성(구름 사이)"을 의미합니다. 반복된 9642는 디지털 기호이지만, 그것이 만들어낸 전체 형상은 감성적입니다. 이는 인간과 기술, 데이터와 예술, 디지털과 자연의 조화를 상징할 수 있습니다. "보는 거리(시각)에 따라 의미가 다르다" 예술에 대한 인식도 그렇고, 사람과 사람 사이도 그러합니다. 멀리서 보면 하나, 가까이서 보면 복잡한 조각들처럼, 그렇습니다.

Enoch BIOGRAPHY Born in Kinshasa in 1995, Enoch Miekutima Matondo lives and works in Kinshasa. A graduate of the Kinshasa Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating from the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa, Enoch decided to devote himself fully to art as a professional artist. After his internship with the contemporary art structure kin Art Studio, he was awarded a 3-month creative and production residency, which enabled him to develop his work on different horizons. His approach is based on relevant personal, societal and universal questions, and also on the facts of his society and his immediate environment. Through his artistic approach, he also talks about the mythologies and the great history of his people, and he refers a lot to this notion to shed a different light on significant events of the past. In his work, he interweaves threads with the help of his brush to create a phantasmagorical universe, around which he builds his work and sums up his artistic identity. He takes his inspiration from the word “Nkekele”, which means creeper, as a way of paying tribute to an ancestral practice and creating an ethnobotanical link. “Nkekele” is used to make or weave mats, baskets, chairs and so on, and he has appropriated this practice as a way of connecting people, identities and current issues and stereotypes.
