OKOVA

Okova is a highly creative artist who not only limits himself to working with traditional art techniques, but also enjoys making his own canvases or working bases. By doing so, he can control the size and texture of his work, allowing him to express himself in a more authentic and personal way. According to Okova, a large part of his work is inspired by human emotions and experiences. He uses his art as a way to explore the complexity of emotions and give shape to the experiences we all share.

LORENZO QUINN

"I wanted to sculpt what is considered the most technically challenging part of the human body: the hands." This symbol and its various expressive recreations form the core of an artistic production that crosses borders. Venice, Shanghai, Cannes, Majorca and Giza are just some of the many cities that have witnessed his exhibitions.

"Hands have a lot of power: they love, hate, create and destroy".

Angela Carli

Her paintings often portray women as strong yet fragile, tender yet controversial, with their eyes serving as windows to their souls, radiating emotion and depth. Carli's process begins with the eyes, considering them the key to unlocking the essence of her subjects. Despite her success, she remains true to her artistic vision, unafraid to destroy a canvas if the eyes do not meet her expectations.
