Niyati Mehta’s creative journey is shaped by experimentation, curiosity, and a desire to understand herself through art.

Each material offers a new way to approach an idea, while the process itself becomes a form of personal discovery. Her practice reflects the belief that an artist’s visual language develops gradually through making, experimenting, and paying attention to what continues to feel meaningful. Personal experiences…
Zarina Hagen is a Norwegian painter, photographer, and printmaker whose vibrant landscape paintings celebrate the emotional power of colour and the restorative beauty of nature.

Influenced by intuition, photography, and personal reflection, she paints from emotional memory rather than direct observation, allowing mood and atmosphere to guide the image. Collections like Nature Dreaming, Fragments of Becoming, and Winter Calm reveal her interest in honesty over perfection, where landscapes…
Lauryna Rakauskaitė creates luminous portraits that shift the idea of what a face can hold, not weight or tension, but warmth, stillness, and quiet presence. Her paintings glow from within, using soft color, open space, and gentle gestures to create an emotional atmosphere rather than a fixed narrative. After more than a decade away from art, she returned to painting with urgency, driven by something she could no longer ignore. This return brings a freshness to her work, where exploration and intuition guide each piece. Rather than directing emotion, she allows…
Taylor Katzman paints what lives between guilt and forgiveness. Through expressive faces and bold acrylics, her work holds emotional tension without resolving it, creating space for viewers to bring their own unfinished stories.
Malu Urruspuru paints from instinct rather than concept. Her birds, animals, and faces emerge from feeling, not performance offering a deeply human reflection on creativity, limitation, and the strength found in beginning again.
Mandi's studio isn't what you'd picture when you think of an artist's workspace. Walk through the door and you're hit with mess. Real mess. Papers piled on papers, images cut partway through, notes written in whatever state of mind she was in at the time. In this studio visit, the multidisciplinary artist explains why her space looks the way it does and what all that disorder actually makes possible. She talks about how thoughts move from her journals onto canvas without getting squeezed into a plan, why she works on several…
