The Gallery represents a number of interesting artists. We have selected some of them to be presented in this article. Daniel Mehdi Nabavi, he is known through his artworks for using cut mirrors and portraits next to his sculptures. The artist finds mirror the perfect material to create pop-art, as he thinks we do not see objects as they really are, but we perceive them through our own perspective. To this end, we see things the way we want them to be seen. It means we are looking for ourselves in everything and anything that we are looking at all the time.
Charoula Nikolaidou is a visual artist based in Thessaloniki, Greece. In her paintings she praised the eroticism, the inwardness and the ecstasy of existence. The body is a scene, a meaning in action which leads us to presume a performance of form empowers the narrative of the drama. Her paintings, gestural and instinctive, are documented in a direct way. In the end, Charoula Nikolaidou can be assessed as an active stage where the body and the spirit converge and diverge, the external and internal world, love – loneliness, emphatically emphasizing the animosity of life and the poetry of painting, as a cathartic value against this agony.
Another artist represented by the gallery is Fulvio Gonnella, born in Italy in 1973. He is now based in Malaga, Spain, another place he calls home. Fulvio Gonella works closely with autistic individuals and people with varied perceptions of reality, trying to understand the different ways we interpret our universe, always searching for a common truth. He defines his artistic process as a dance between instinct and intellect. Every artwork has a long story behind it that he likes to pen down. His European journey and the interaction with the people seeing the world in a different way, deeply shaped his exploration into the duality of existence and the transformation of perception. His art is about understanding how we see the world.
Alexander Zuleta is a visual artist who challenges contemporary classifications. He was born in 1984 in Guatemala. He works with formal painting techniques and other experimental tendencies in painting. He wants to show the fragility of cultures in Latin America and the world. His artworks are influenced by childhood issues that have led him to investigate the existence of forms, objects and humanity, which make up the subject. And by questioning the reason for them in space and time.
