Andreja Soleil. Gold Sand (2022). Plein air Balitc Sea. Acrylic, charcoal and baltic ink on canvas. 30 x 30 cm

ANDREJA SOLEIL

Andreja Soleil is a master of plein air painting (French: en plein air / in the open air).

The painter is particularly moved by the constantly changing dynamics of the ocean along the Fischland-Darß peninsula. She has found her personal place of strength in this Baltic landscape. Nature always paints along with her. Her neo-impressionist painting style lives strongly from waves, spray and the sea.

Landscapes of a completely different kind can be found on the artist’s large-format canvases, which are created in her studio. Fairy tales and myths have accompanied her since early childhood. Woven materials in which the boundaries of reality, dream and fiction blur, overlap, unite – Other Worlds.

Andreja Soleil lives and works in Leipzig, Germany and Mallorca, Spain.

Clemens Voigt. Sea Dragon (2022). Wild wood sculpture. 42x17x9,5 cm

CLEMENS VOIGT

“Carving a sculpture is like a love story.”

Wood Artist Clemens Voigt is a true storyteller of wild wood found in the forest and transformed into magnificent wooden sculptures. Layer by layer he exposes the finest structures, carving, sanding and polishing until they come to life. Clemens is reading wood like a book. Layer by layer – page by page – the forest tells his own story.

After travelling the world, the multi-talented artist founded a musical instrument trading company. He is also head and organiser of the international Ancient Trance Festival. For him, wood carving is a balance between music world and being a Outdoorsman. Clemens Voigt lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.

Mats Kade "Tramonto 02/22" (2022). Mixed Media. Oil, acyrlic and charcoal on canvas. 100 x 120 cm

MATS KADE

Grooves and driving rhythms inspire Mats Kade’s creative process. His paintings correspond strongly with the unconscious and enter into dialogue with the viewer. While he primarily paints meditatively during the day, he creates excessive abstract works at night.

The painter works with many technically divergent layers. An interplay of free, uncontrolled movement and phases of reduction and control characterises his painting style.

Mats Kade lives and works in Dresden, Germany.
