VÊS.TRÊS is a collective project composed of emerging artists Ana Malta, Madalena Pequito and Maria de Brito Matias. The collaboration began in 2018, after they finished their respective degrees in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. The desire to continue close work as colleagues encouraged the creation of joint works where pictorial harmony creates a game of seeing and recognizing. The question that remains will always be: "Do you see three"? Three forms of expression, three styles, three color palettes. ​ It emerged as a movement of mutual support, a dialogue of experiences and a space for sharing social issues as women artists. The collective aims to convey to the viewer the importance of bringing together practices and minds for the development of human life. We are social beings and by coming together we sharpen our senses - in this case 3 times more sensitive - creating this element - Vês.Três - which, as a singular artist, has the presence of three independent artists who want to leave their mark through a colorful language that is accessible to anyone. All three intervene in the same way and at the same time in all created works.

L’artiste sélectionne minutieusement ses motifs parmis des photos issues de ses propres shooting où se trouvent des interactions entre les personnages dans des territoires ensoleillés. Elle représente ces clichés en peinture à l’huile sur toile, en les recadrant et sélectionnant ses couleurs. Sa touche est emprunte de ce que sa vue a digéré, son ressenti à filtré. S’établit un processus créatif pour traduire la lumière et les mouvements des personnages. Dans ses œuvres la lumière a fonction de composition. La peintre décrit la lumière et le mouvement de façon radicale. Elle théâtralise, sacralise une réalité d’apparence banale. L’univers pictural de Fairfeld Porter l’inspire dans la recherche du motif et de la composition de ses peintures. Son geste est dans la lignée de celui de peintres néo expressionnistes allemands des années 80, caractérisé par une franche liberté d’expression. Le médium peinture ne s’éfface pas derrière le motif. Il est garant d’un choix subjectif qu’elle établit face à son modèle.

Oksana Fedchyshyn (b. 1999, Ukraine) is an artist based in Ukraine. Graduated in Painting at Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts Ivan Trush and in Graphic Design at Lviv National Academy of Arts. Fedchyshy is inspired by folk art, mythology, and people. She often turns to the topic of the human connection with nature and the metamorphosis of bodies. Her art becomes a dialogue between inner and outer worlds, where humans and animals coexist in harmony, sometimes merging with each other to reveal deeper truths about who we are. In her work, Fedchyshy often turns to simple naive motifs, images of various fictional, often zoomorphic characters. Such visual images easily arose from poems rich in aphorisms and metaphors. Works of their kind conduct a constant dialogue with poetry. In 2018, she was awarded the Index Mariusz Kazana competition prize and held her first solo exhibition. Since then, she has exhibited her work in solo and group shows across Ukraine, Poland, and Germany.
