I am a 35-year-old artist, illustrator and street artist. Now I am living and working in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I use original detailed technique and I would call my style dotwork, pointillism, stippling. I draw both black-and-white and colour graphics, street art, and illustrations. I have been painting for more than 10 years. I started with classic graffiti. The main rule that I follow in my work is honesty and awareness that I am responsible before the audience. I believe that creative work is an extremely important part of human life, so it should be treated with care and intelligence. All my pictures are a reflection of my inner world, my emotions, my life position and principles. I draw only what I sincerely believe in and find worth doing, even if it is not popular or not that common to say. Art has a strong influence on people, and the way it is depends on the authors and on those people who promote the objects of art to the public. Before creating a new work, I carefully think through the idea, the message and the artistic means by which I will get my point across. In my art, I always bring up some issues relevant both for modern society and for an individual. For this end, I mostly use well-known objects and give them a non-standard form and a symbolic meaning. Furthermore, I am trying to form and maintain my signature style in every work. To enhance the effect of my art pieces, I use a large format and carefully detail each work. In this case, a person is more likely to stay at work examining it and appreciating how much time and effort was invested in the picture. In addition, creating a new job, I always strive to make it better and more interesting than the previous one, thus developing my skills in the process of drawing. I am represented as an illustrator by IllustrationZone Agency. Work with LAVAZZA, AFAR Media, Entertainment Weekly, Vista Jet, Reichl und Partner Werbeagentur GmbH, Upfest, THEVINUM, We are Talents, Seleuss chocolate and others.

Fintan Magee is a Sydney based social realist painter, specializing in large-scale murals. Born in 1985 in Lismore, New South Wales, to an architect mother and father who was a sculptor, he started drawing at a young age. His earlier large-scale paintings often inhabited the isolated, abandoned and broken corners of the city, and today are found all over the world including in London, Vienna, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Moscow, Rome, Jordan, and Dublin amongst others. Magee’s practice is informed by a profound interest in political murals, inspired by exposure at a young age to those of his Father’s native Northern Ireland. This is reflected in the socialist nature of his public artworks, which combine journalistic elements with public art. Magee’s work is driven by his recognition of the power of murals to communicate political and social viewpoints and thus divide or unite communities. Drawing from personal experience and the mundane, his figurative paintings are deeply integrated with the urban environment and explore themes of diversity, migration and transition, waste and consumption, loss, and the environment. His works exude an inherent sentimentality and softness influenced by children’s books and the Low Brow art movement. In recent years, Magee has solidified his position as one of Australia’s leading public artists and has traveled extensively, completing projects in countries across the world. Some of the most recent project of note include his work in a refugee camp in Jordan in 2017; and his solo exhibition ‘Waves’ at Mathgoth Gallery in Paris. In 2016, his solo exhibition ‘Water World’, at Backwoods Gallery in Melbourne; and a series of works on abandoned silos in Patchewollock, Victoria and both murals and a gallery installation for Tauranga Art Gallery, NZ, for the Paradox Festival. He is presently preparing for a solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Magee has been featured in the Sydney Morning Herald, Juxtapoz Magazine, ABC News , The Australian, The Urban Contemporary Art Guide (2014, 2015), Street Art Australia (Lou Chamberlain), Graffiti Art (FR) Home & Design : Trends Magazine, Surface (Soren Solker) (DK), amongst others.

Inventura is a multidisciplinary studio, located in the imagination of Lucas Amaral, 35 years old. Designer, illustrator, muralist and sculptor. He was born in Belo Horizonte / Brazil, he has been for a while in Germany, Spain and currently lives in Australia. The project started as a screen printing workshop in Brazil, but it was never intended to be limited to a single technique or location. The idea is to keep moving, experimenting, learning and creating in different media and formats. He’s interested in manual and experimental processes in order to create works that can be interpreted in multiple ways by the viewer. For the murals there is a search for impact, without losing the harmony and balance of shapes and colors. In general, the works portray an imaginary universe but are always inspired by reality.

In my work I am creating compressed versions of the australian environment where indigenous species are competing for space between the introduced flora and fauna. I start with research and images of the particular species and then assemble my palette. I am inspired by colour combination and patterns that I see in everyday life, in nature and design. My process is playing with patterns, colour and negative space to see what emerges and take risks, do something I haven’t done before. Behind the playfulness is the question, can there eventually be a harmonious balance between the diifferent species?

With a background in graphic design & illustration, the majority of her recent work has been on a much larger scale. Her murals are vibrant and colourful and often a little bit whimsical. There is always a key message at the core of her artwork and the ultimate aim is to have a positive impact on the surrounding community. Cat has worked with numerous architects, schools and commercial businesses to bring their buildings to life. From Taronga zoo to Bondi beach, most of her murals can be spotted around inner Sydney suburbs. She paints in a variety of styles and likes to draw from nature and the local environment for her inspiration.
