Adam S Doyle
“My work is fueled by a love for the human mark. Since our ancestors smeared pigment on cave walls in the shape of wildlife millennia ago, humanity’s legacy of asserting our existence is something built into being human. My work continues the tradition by keeping the stroke of paint visible. I’m a painter, an illustrator, and a teacher. Painting is also a transformation; the cave wall, the blank page, and the white canvas becomes a spacious place or a living, breathing being. I’m fascinated with this magical act. The unfinished quality to my work is about keeping this doorway between both worlds partly open. Nature and wildlife are primary subjects in part due to the diverse metaphorical language they afford in communicating ideas. I believe in being physically and spiritually connected to the natural world and each other. I also believe that we must be careful with our faith in new technology and mindful of how it alters society. I believe art is intrinsic to our shared experience of meaning and understanding. My father, Dr James Doyle was a physician and a pioneer of Chinese medicine in New England. He specialized in acupuncture and homeopathy, caring attentively for his patients over the span of fifty years. Because of him the idea of energy flowing through our bodies has been in my consciousness since childhood. Depicting energy has been an ongoing theme of exploration, as well as consciousness and new paradigms that expand my enchantment with the true vastness of life.”
AMIANGELIKA
Based in London, AMIANGELIKA is an innovative new media artist and audio-visual designer renowned for her exploration of the symbiosis between sound and sight, alongside human-machine interaction. Through performances and installations, she utilises generative graphics activated by audio triggers or motion sensors, pioneering a technique that deepens the audience’s immersion in the audio-visual environment and expands their perception of space. Central to her work are the themes of mythology and metaphysics, areas she believes hold crucial insights for contemporary reinterpretation. Her art delves into existential dichotomies—life and death, chaos and order, love and hate—engaging audiences in a dialogue that bridges ancient wisdom with modern contexts.
Her collaboration with 1100 on ‘ICARUS’ was shortlisted for the 2023 One Dance UK Awards for digital innovation in dance, highlighting her role at the forefront of digital and performance art. AMIANGELIKA has showcased her work extensively in London, including at notable venues and events such as Dance.Film.Performance, Wayne McGregor’s studio, the Resolution London Festival, Outernet London, HMVC Gallery New York, projects for Samsung KX, etc. Her work challenges the boundaries of new media art, offering immersive experiences that blend auditory and visual realms with philosophical depth.

_n.a.bi__
My name is Cam a.k.a Nabi. and i’m all about exploring new techniques through art, specially collage, drawings, embroidery, and painting.but also exploring digital art, like digital collages and illustration.
My work focuses on the creation of intimate visual diaries, loaded with emotions, experiences and reflections, particularly highlighting my own human vulnerability.
Art has always been my refuge, an escape from the daily routine and a place where I can freely explore my personality and see my own growth.
For me, art helps me connect with my deepest emotions, as opposed to the coldness and apathy that often characterizes our contemporary society, where emotional expression can be seen as a weakness.
My work aspires to be a window to the emotional depth of the human being, inviting you to reflect on your own vulnerability and sensitivity, fostering connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
Sandra Mendiola
Since childhood, I’ve always had a strong affinity for visual arts subjects at school, and when it came time to decide what I wanted to study at the university level, the first thing that came to mind was something related to art, as drawing and painting were something I could find refuge in. As I delved into university studies, I began to see the wide range of possibilities that the artistic world offers. Far from deciding to limit myself to a certain style, I decided to try different tools in my search for my own style.
The concepts that I address in my work today are related to the search for origins in our cultures to contrast with the prevailing imaginaries of our current era.
