LAVINIA DE ROTHSCHILD
I am an artist deeply entrenched in the noble mission of animal rights advocacy. I've navigated my own unique trajectory, harmonizing my fervor for art with an unwavering commitment to stand up for animals.
In my work, I utilize art as a potent voice for animals. Every canvas I touch is transformed into a powerful narrative, reflecting the unspoken trials animals endure and underlining the pressing need for their safety and dignity. For me, art extends beyond the domain of aesthetics. It is a profound tool for change, a conduit through which I raise awareness and champion the rights of animals.
Above all else, my heart belongs to animals. They are the most important part of my life, and I dedicate every stroke of my brush to their cause. My journey has been one of creative activism, pushing boundaries, and challenging the status quo. I believe in the transformative power of art, and as I continue to walk my path, I am resolute in my mission to instigate change and create a more compassionate world for all creatures through my artistic endeavors.
AKSANTI BIENFAIT
I am a Congolese Artist who fled war in his country and moved to Uganda in 2016. Best known for creating life sized figurative paintings in an impressionism style.
My paintings talks of human ecology, showing the importance of the nature to human beings with ecosystems. The figures are set within complex acrylic paint, texture and many of which are inspired by the elements of nature. I am influenced by the life's cycle and how we develop awareness through these things around the nature have the impact on me. My paintings look as the contrast between life and nature, reality and memory. I want my paintings to speak to the fundamental human urge to feel alive in the nature.
HENRY KIYINGI
The collapse of the traditional ways of life that portray societies with their cultures, the natural environment and pressure that the modern life demands us is the inspiration of Henry Kiyingi.
Born, raised and working in Uganda, the artist sees himself as an observer in this dynamic environment packed with series of events that are rapidly happening. "Transformation and change are daily factors of life according to my personal experience. Moving down the road to places I was staying in years ago, seeing modernisation washing away old traditions, cultures and peoples' beliefs leaves me with no option than depicting these fading memories of my past in paintings, portrayed in an expressive style."
LILIANA ROTHSCHILD
Plant fibers are the soul of my work. The choice of working with them refers to the vital relationship of man with nature in its broadest sense, rethinking the links and giving rise to virtuous relationships based on respect for all forms of life. I also believe that making use of the inert fiber in my artwork is a way of bringing it back to life revaluing it in a new context. There is a link between this material provided by “mother nature” and the primitive cultures for which I feel strongly attracted and interested. The designs I create are a reminiscent of ethnic archetypes, and woodcut printing helps me expressing the cultural mark that these groups leave behind. The weft made of thread that I apply, upkeeps past and present, nature and humanity.
BRAD ANDERSON
Inspiration whispers, and I attempt to listen.
I am a Canadian mixed media artist expressively depicting subjects closely related to emotion, mental health, and moments in time. Often moody and deconstructed.
I sincerely wish my work resonates with you!
BIANCA BLUM
My special love has always been for animals. To see how man inflicts them, is unbearable for me. The seas are polluted, animals are exterminated, hunted, killed, their homeland destroyed. Sometimes I don't have the words. Through my pictures, I can express my love for them and my desire for a better world. When I look an animal in the eye, I see joy, suffering, pain, anger, grief, love, just as if I were looking into a mirror. Only when man understands how valuable our planet is, does he perhaps learn to respect and protect it. With my pictures I take the viewer with me into my world, let him see through my eyes. A world that sometimes scares me with its coldness and cruelty and fills me with deep love in the next moment, given the unique perfection. Sometimes in photorealistic, sometimes in surrealist design language, I show what touches me, always with the desire for a world in which every living being can live happily and freely.
SIMONE EISENBEISS
My name is Simone Eisenbeiss, and I am from Switzerland. I discovered animal conservation as a child, inspired by my mother who dedicated her life to saving animals from horrible conditions around the world.
I have had an unbreakable connection with animals since I was a toddler. This unspoken language between two species is the inspiration for my art. Art has always been central to my life, but I never thought it would have such a strong impact on others. From a young age, I have been involved with direct action organizations helping animals, as well as child victims of war, abuse, and exploitation.
I chose to study medicine in university because I wanted to help the world after completing my degree, but during my studies, I barely had time to express myself through art. Now, I use my art to focus on the light and darkness of the world that I have witnessed through my volunteer experiences, expressing it in my own Surrealistic style. The effect that art has on people's lives is fascinating, and it has become my duty to speak up for the voiceless on our planet. By fusing my art with animal activism, I am fighting with passion and creativity to protect our planet.
No matter where we live or what language we speak, art touches our souls and has the power to change the world.
MR. J
Mr. J is inspired by changing how tattoos are perceived in our society. Tattoos are a type of fine art that uses human skin as a canvas. Having your chosen artwork on your body is the ultimate curative experience. The delicate nature of applying extremely precise details within a small area is the most difficult part, but it is required to transform tattooing into an admired practice in the world of art.
Mr. J creates his works with a single needle. This is the most difficult technique, but also the most rewarding because it allows for the most intricate details to be applied. He studied music at Berkeley University before deciding to pursue his true passion, and he has a master's degree in business.
Mr. J's attention to detail, professionalism and natural talent distinguishes his work from that of
the average tattooist, bringing modern elegance to an ancient practice that dates back thousands
of years.
LINDA POST
"I make paintings of women, the sea, mysterious encounters and uncommon places. These works occupy a cerebral, mythic landscape, full of reality and dreams. The introspective girls and women in my paintings make us ask, 'What are they thinking?' Their placement in such lush, enigmatic settings questions, 'Why are we here?”
SÉBASTIEN BERNAND
French "Self-taught painter, I was born in Mulhouse in 1969. Following a serious accident at work and suffering from post-traumatic stress, painting has been for me a saving therapy. I let myself be guided by my passion for colors, shapes and textures. I like to wander carefree where my brushes take me, I paint with passion and my soul fills with joy when I see an emotion reflected in the eyes of someone exploring the twists and turns of my universe."
NICK M. L. EWING
From the banal to the absurd. Disjointed peculiarities and curiosities create patterns that deviate from the usual everyday objects that surround us. NMLE is contemporary and unorthodox. A British artist that uses less traditional techniques allowing for the exploration of untapped resources. Shining light from alternative angles in order to provoke questions, spark new ideas, and, perhaps, rethink our learned, indoctrinated, and unnatural attitudes towards life and each other.
LOUISE JORGENSEN
I am a Toronto-based animal photojournalist. As a child, I had a deep connection with non-human animals. There was never a question, for me, whether or not they are sentient. I do this work
because I want others to see what I see when I look into the eyes of an animal. To see that there is someone equal to you and I looking back from behind those loving and joyful, or frightened and pleading eyes. I strive to capture emotion in eyes and in body language to help others to feel what
the animals are feeling and to understand that they, like us, are emotional, sentient beings with
the same capacity to feel joy, love, and to suffer.
