Amita Singha
Chittagong, Bangladesh
By profession, I am a university teacher. I have to be always busy doing research and I love it. Along with it, I also love painting. Though I do not have any formal training in Fine Arts, I try to draw pictures whenever I get time. It gives me immense pleasure when I indulge myself in painting since my childhood. As soon as, I complete drawing a picture, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Artem Brazhnik
I was born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine. It was there that I first was captivated by the beauty of the natural world, which fueled my passion for drawing and painting. I really like Kiev, whose landscapes, places, and people had fascinated me ever since I was introduced to the artworks of Claude Monet during my university studies at National Academy of Art. My artistic exploration of my homeland has been the greatest joy in my life, and through my paintings I hope to share some of my emotional experiences of this part of the world.

Donna Irvine
Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
My subject matter and emotions are driving my choices for my preferred medium of painting, ranging from acrylics, charcoal and ink to watercolours. My work tends to capture moments in time, places, feelings or memories. It reflects the relationship I have with myself, my interconnection with others and my surrounding environments. A theme central to my work is the idea of perception which is very personal to my personality, as perception is heavily influenced by our expectations, experiences and emotions.

Karina Brzostowski
Dubai, UAE
I was born in Poland and raised in France where I studied Art at University. For many years I was based in the U.K. before relocating to Dubai. My subject matter and emotions are driving my choices for my preferred medium of painting, ranging from acrylics, charcoal and ink to watercolours. My work tends to capture moments in time, places, feelings or memories. It reflects the relationship I have with myself, my interconnection with others and my surrounding environments. A theme central to my work is the idea of perception, which is very personal to my personality, as perception is heavily influenced by our expectations, experiences, and emotions. How I feel affects the way I see the world and as a consequence the subject and the technique used for my paintings. For instance, when creating my Secret Garden's series I used bright and unusual colours. This was a way to force the viewer to look better and rediscover places differently. It's a call to open up, become more aware of our environment. How do we interpret our surroundings? Especially in a lockdown situation, I wanted to make what is around us more visible, more blissful, to maintain and cultivate a positivity and hopefulness for the future. Sit back and smell the roses. Stop worrying and take one day at a time. Reflect the connection of oneself with their surroundings. Nature is often taken for granted and when life becomes hectic, we stop seeing it and being positively affected by it. Here is a time where we can observe, enjoy simple things, rest and reflect. Furthermore, the idea of secret gardens is a connection to our dreams, our creativity and to the hidden sides of our psyche. It's the place of our inhibitions and secrets, a personal landscape that it's inside all of us. This lockdown is also a good time to look inside and get closer to our inner selves. Finally, this painting can be seen as a hymn to my own femininity as a female painter.

I am inspired by the vastness of the universe and our place within it. I believe art is the expression of our innermost self. I am fascinated by how colour, form and composition can merge to convey meanings on a spiritual level and cause emotional and sometimes physical responses within the viewer.
