Kavya Sharma creates textile-based artworks that bring together embroidery, drawing, and installation to explore memory, care, the body, and women’s lived experiences. Rather than choosing a medium first, she begins with an idea and allows the work to determine how it should take shape.
Mickel Celest creates richly layered abstract paintings that explore colour, texture, transformation, and the beauty found in change. Working intuitively, she begins with a palette or feeling rather than a fixed image, allowing each painting to develop through layers of paint, collage, texture, and metallic elements.
Andrea Eichelberg creates colourful abstract paintings shaped by emotions, memories, travel, and everyday experiences. Working mainly in acrylic and pastel, she approaches each canvas intuitively, beginning with a feeling or question rather than a finished image.
Mónica Nicolau creates textile artworks that transform as light moves across their richly stitched surfaces. Working with commercial cotton fabrics, oil paint, cotton batting, and free-motion machine quilting, she builds dimensional compositions that sit somewhere between painting and sculpture
Gaëlle Étémé approaches art as an act of listening rather than control, allowing lines, colours, and gestures to guide the work as it unfolds.

Inspired in part by her mother’s lifelong connection to beadwork, Annie sees mathematics and art as complementary ways of understanding the world. Her recent use of watercolour beneath the beadwork adds a more fluid and unexpected element to her otherwise precise practice.
Niyati Mehta’s creative journey is shaped by experimentation, curiosity, and a desire to understand herself through art. Working across watercolour, graphite, acrylic, and oil, she gives herself the freedom to explore different techniques and visual possibilities rather than staying within the boundaries of one medium. 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…
