Samantha Malone (b. 1978) is a contemporary artist who combines elements of abstraction in the portrayal of imaginary natural and urban landscapes reflecting a dialogue with her inner-self and past experiences. Originally from Australia’s east coast, and currently living in Tel Aviv-Jaffa with her family, Samantha brings her unique perspective to abstract painting. She is a self-taught artist with an academic background in environmental sciences. Her education and lifelong passion with nature has given her an appreciation for the fragile balance between the urban and natural landscapes and the way they converge. In 2022, she made the decision to become a full time artist and has been accepted into international art biennales. In July 2023, Samantha exhibited in the London Art Biennale.

Georgina Mortreux is a Slovak contemporary artist creating and living in Bratislava, Slovakia. Her abstract paintings in their lyrical and poetical form are focusing on the inner world of the current human being, his personal experiences, memories, dreams, and imaginations. 

She creates with combined acrylic techniques and her handwriting reflects the dynamics of the current happening.

The basic phenomenon of her work is the color. Intensive, passionate in its endless tones, in which there are encoded the sparkling surface of the sea, richness of the lavender fields, azure of the sky, mysterious dusk and the deepness of the night as well as the fresh sparkle of the summer mornings.

She applies and layers the colors on the canvas in dynamic waves, in solid curves or in fine drips. She combines acrylic colors with oil pastels which in final makes an impression reminding the rhythm of the heart on the seismography of our lives.
