ANNA AMGREN (Sweden), lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. She’s been painting for more than 30 years and has developed a way to combine painting, digital art and cryptoart.

Sometimes, she paints with her eyes closed, letting her hand choose color and move automatically. She then imports the draft to the computer where she works on parts of the painting, and the magic happens. In the pictures, figures and symbols appear, all depending on your imagination - the more you look, the more you’ll find. Anna also photographs details in nature and uses them in the same process.

David Fludd: “The works are concerned with improvisation and the art of creating in the moment. I am influenced by musical ideas and concepts. Improvisational concepts are present in the works. I am also a musician. I compose and perform as a pianist. Music informs my work technically and in the way that I approach a canvas. I approach a canvas with the ideals of exploration and experimentation. By this approach the works express the experiences of where they were created. In this regard multiplicity exist and thereby expresses many places often simultaneously. The works are open to interpretation. Dialogue is invited.” www.Dfludd.weebly.com
Martin Saar: “As a kid I was always fascinated by art and at the time thought of it as something very far and unreachable. I was puzzled by how artists captured people, nature, objects and turned them into masterpieces. I wished I could do the same but had no idea how to get there. At the age of 16 my dad gave me a set of oil paints and there was no going back. I started to explore and study the fascinating world of art. In 2002 after moving to New York I started doing commission mosaic portraits but, in my heart, I wanted to evolve as a painter. Step by step, by learning and practicing, I got my first solo show at the Gallery in the Hamptons. I started exploring new mediums and testing different techniques such as graphic design, painting, photography, and airbrush. I have found myself being especially fascinated and inspired by the beauty and variety of female bodies. After more than 30 shows in the past 10 years, I still feel that every new painting is better than the last. I am eager to keep learning, experimenting, and pushing the limits to see how far I can take my passion.” Born Tallinn, Estonia 1980. IG: https://www.instagram.com/saarmartin/?hI=en
