Peintre et graveur, il suivra une formation de graphiste puis une formation de peintre d’ornement à l’école Boulle. Il a travaillé quelques années au théâtre du Soleil entant que décorateur.
A la fois classique et moderne, nostalgique et futuriste, rendant hommage autant aux racines qu’aux rameaux.
Dans son travail, les cultures, les époques se rencontrent, se transforment et évoluent les une dans les autres, décrivant les nombreux niveaux de réalité que nous habitons.
Dans ses tableaux, des corps géométriques apparaissent vertigineux dans des ciels romantiques du 19e siècle, éclipsant l'horizon.
L‘artiste travaille à la peinture à l'huile, à l’aérosol et à la gravure, combinant les médiums par couches successives. Elles sont dévoilées successivement au cours du processus pour y laisser intervenir l'aléatoire, la surprise.
Edmond Li Bellefroid est un alchimiste, toujours cherchant à représenter le rapport entre le matériel et l’immatériel.
In her studio practice the artist mixes painting, drawing, sculpting, collage and raw forms of etching such as monoprinting and woodcut. Always finding beauty in the unconventional and with a keen interest on recycling waste, don´t be surprised to find her digging in garbage at construction sites or "treasure hunting" at the beach for objects and materials that catch her eye and meet some of her ideas.She's most inspired by everyday life, people and nature, with maybe the sea in the spotlight; but her previous experiences in live, childhood memories, loss and a consequent "joie de vivre" that coexists with a certain melancholy also tend to appear on many of her work.
Constantly playing with colour and texture in this hide and seek game, her pieces often reveal a sense of calmness, peace and light when finished, although many times there are emotional storms and chaos in the under layers. Her work comes many times as calming and enlightening to her collectors.
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.
Agnès Tiollier est née à Lyon, issue d’une famille tournée vers l’art.
Après des études d’Arts Appliqués, elle choisit d’exprimer ses ressentis à travers la peinture.
« Mon travail est basé sur la couleur, la lumière et la transparence »
Cette artiste peintre aime surtout transmettre son bonheur d’observer la nature grâce à l’intensité lumineuse de ses couleurs, que ce soit à la peinture à l'huile ou bien au pastel, médium d'une grande richesse.
Ses thèmes de prédilection : les jardins et paysages sans oublier le monde floral.
Ses oeuvres font partie de nombreuses collections en France et à l'étranger.
Photographer with a PhD in anthropology, I have been producing photographic and textual essays on issues such as territory, colonialism and post-colonialism, disability, new masculinities and sustainability. Considered by GUP Magazine as one of the 100 European photography talents (2020). My work, described as magic documentalism, has already been exhibited in Brazil, France, Italy and Portugal. I exhibited collectively at the Rencontres d'Arles 2019 & 2023 (promoted by the British Journal of Photography and Der Greif) and at the International Center of Photography, in New York. Winner of the “Cities in the City” initiative at PhotoEspaña and the Porto Photography Biennial '21 and recently guest artist in residence at Encontros da Imagem 2023 edition. Co-creator and co-editor of the online contemporary photography magazine SOPA and editor of the photography platform Lenscratch , based in Los Angeles.
Part of my artistic practice is developed around personal work, but also the development of free workshops for the communities I work with, always resulting in fanzines, collective exhibitions or other types of artistic products, as has happened in my work in Campanhã , in Porto, São Tomé and Príncipe or Namibia. I believe that through these joint initiatives and community participation, the visual production and local cultural mapping will be richer the greater their engagement.

Her work is represented in private collections in Portugal and abroad.
Anna Kostritskaya’s work carries an undeniable urgency, each brushstroke infused with a tension between fragility and defiance. Her art does more than depict; it preserves, resists, and remembers.
Born in Ukraine, her creative journey has been deeply intertwined with the turbulence of her homeland. Since the full-scale war began, her work has taken on an even more urgent role, serving as a form of documentation, capturing emotions, losses, and the resilience of her people. Her paintings often feel like open wounds, yet within them lies tenderness, a refusal to let beauty be erased by destruction.
Working across multiple mediums - painting, photography, and mixed media, Kostritskaya employs different artistic languages to express the unspeakable. In her portraits, faces emerge from the canvas like whispers, layered with texture, almost as if they are fighting to remain visible. There is a quiet intimacy in her work, a recognition of individual stories otherwise lost within the vastness of war.
Much of her practice is rooted in the act of bearing witness. Her work explores displacement, identity, and the intersection of personal and collective history. Her photography, in particular, captures fleeting moments, glimpses of life that feel sacred in their ordinariness, a stark contrast to the overwhelming instability surrounding them.
Her creative process is instinctual, driven by emotion rather than rigid intent. She has described it as work that decides its own path, rather than one that is meticulously planned.
Yet, despite the weight of her subject matter, her art is about endurance. It embodies the human spirit’s refusal to be silenced. Beneath the layers of grief, there is strength. There is the unbreakable.
Born in Lviv, Ukraine, based in Vienna, Dzvinya Podlyashetska is an artist whose work moves between the playful and the profound. Her art is a vibrant mix of comic-like figures, bold colours, and surreal compositions, capturing emotions that are often felt but rarely seen. She transforms the ordinary into something magical - people, animals, and everyday objects take on new meaning in her world, where naivety and sarcasm, love and chaos, laughter and melancholy exist in fragile harmony.
Dzvinya’s journey into art began with a deep fascination for illustration and printmaking. She studied graphic design at the Ivan Trush Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts before continuing her fine arts education at the Ukrainian Printmaking Academy.
She has shaped a distinctive voice, one that blends storytelling with visual poetry. Her art is a reflection of human relationships, inner dialogues, and the constant push and pull between personal identity and external influences. Mental health is a key theme in her work, expressed through dynamic, exaggerated forms and rich textures that echo the complexities of emotion. Each piece is an invitation to pause, to look deeper, and to rediscover the joy of simplicity that is often lost in the rush of modern life.
Exhibited across Europe and the United States, from the National Museum of Ukraine in Kyiv to the Volkskunde Museum in Vienna and the 17 Frost Gallery in New York. When You Don’t Expect at Breach Miami, have cemented her reputation as a rising force in contemporary art.
Dzvinya doesn’t just create images, she creates experiences. Her art is a space where emotions take shape, where nostalgia meets the surreal, and where viewers are encouraged to embrace both the beauty and the chaos of existence.
