My name is Aleida Hammond. I am an artist who works with mediums such as photography and acrylic paint. I am a responsible and self-motivated individual passionate about the creative industry. Recently I completed my final year of studying BA in Fine Art at Loughborough University. I also freelance as a photographer and videographer.

With my artwork, I aim to showcase aspects of faith in a contemporary space. I aim to explore topics which are not as spoken about in the black community, an example being mental health.

My photography has developed from primarily portraits to portraits, stills and videography, with the aim of telling people’s stories. I also specialise in painting and drawing portraits and specialised commissioned. The mediums I use help me to visually create an open dialogue about topics not as spoken about by communities. Examples of this are speaking on faith in a more levelled way to create an open dialogue. Additionally, mental health in the black community and visually showcasing vulnerability is something I am passionate about.

What motivates and inspires me as an artist is to be a part of creating more of a diverse space. I use creativity to express myself, as well as to share the stories of others. My desire is to see of people colour have more representation. An aim of mine is to also help people have more facilities and space to express themselves creatively. To have artists of colour in more mainstream areas of art and design is something that I would like to be a part of.

Meet Anastasia, a creative soul originally hailing from the wonderful city of Doncaster who currently lives in the vibrant city of Leeds. With a deep-rooted passion for gardening, Anastasia discovered an enchanting world within the petals and leaves of their garden. This hobby blossomed into a newfound love for pressing flowers, a delicate art form that preserves the fleeting beauty of nature.

Through meticulous craftsmanship and a keen eye for detail, Anastasia transforms pressed flowers into stunning works of art. Each piece is a unique expression of their artistic vision, blending the natural elegance of flora with creative ingenuity. Whether it’s a vibrant bouquet captured in time or a whimsical arrangement that tells a story, Anastasia’s art invites viewers to pause and appreciate the intricate beauty of the natural world.

In every pressed petal and carefully curated composition, Anastasia finds a way to connect with nature and share that connection with others. Their work is more than just art; it’s a celebration of life’s delicate moments and the timeless charm of flowers.

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.

On September 5, 1964, I stepped onto the world stage in a beautifullittle town, Vynohradiv, at the foot of the Black Mountain. I spent a partof my childhood in my grandfather's house, where he introduced me topainting as he would spend his free time creating artworks. He wouldtell stories before bedtime, weaving his own imagination into them.
Then came school, where I was as introverted as a prison door. Whilereading art books, I parked myself with Dali after Da Vinci andMichelangelo. Towards the end of school, my spirit broke free from thebottle, as it tends to happen at that age.
My cousin recommended me to a local artist named Miklós Papp, fromwhom I learned a lot about worldviews and artistic movements. I had anopportunity to exhibit some of my paintings in a joint exhibition withlocal artists, but the local realist audience didn't receive them withgreat enthusiasm.
I continued my studies at the Vynohradiv Polytechnic, from where Ihad to go for an internship in Moldavia in the spring of 1983. As afarewell, we had a party with friends, which ended up with spray-painted wall art. We said our goodbyes, I left the next day, and newsreached me in Moldavia that the former KGB was looking for mebecause of the graffiti. They harassed my friends and even my uncle,who had been a political prisoner in '56. By the time I returned home, theKGB and communist party members were waiting for me. It seemedthat my wall art had a bigger impact on them than my drawings. After afew days of interrogation, they decided that the military couldstraighten me out. Thus ended my adolescence.
With the involvement of the KGB and party members, I was expelledfrom the Komsomol (which didn't really manage to sadden me), but onDecember 5, they set me off for military service and made me promiseto write about my first (and hopefully last) encounter with polar bears.After a rainy December, it was quite terrifying when the train stopped atthe Perm station, with snow piled up about one and a half meters higheverywhere. This was not good. But it got worse. They took me north, tothe northern part of the Ural Mountains, to the city of Solikamsk, andeven further north, next to the Komi ASSR, to a small village where therewere more prisoners than villagers. Forests and swamps surrounded thevillage, and you could only enter or leave by car in winter or summerwhen the road would either freeze over the marsh or dry up.
Difficult days followed, and there were bad news from home as well.My father was fired from his job because of me, and they threatened mymother too. The older soldiers scared me by saying that it would be coldfor only 3 months and then very cold for 9 months. As I adapted to thenew environment, I learned that a prisoner (convicted of multiplemurders) was working in the heating plant of the barracks, and he was apainter as a side job, painting posters for the military and his ownpaintings as well. After that, in the evenings, when I had the time andopportunity, I could sneak out of the barracks and drink tea called chefirwith my newfound friend in the heating plant and we paint together.
In 1985, I managed to escape from hell, and I returned home in time forChristmas to finally embrace my mother, father, and sister. There werea few new friendships, love, new experiences near at River Tisza inKőbánya Lake, and then the great love—I got married, had two sons. Butthe tough years came back. I worked (and did everything I could) tosupport my family. We lived in a small room, the floor being the onlyspace where I could paint. I tried to sell my paintings, and everyonepraised how good they were, but no one was really interested.
Now I have the time to paint again, I still have some thoughts, I stillhave one more shot, so I'll give it a try.
