Helene Knoop, 1979 | Figurative / Narrative painter
Helene Knoop has studied under Odd Nerdrum and became part of the renowned “Nerdrum School” where philosophical ideas are as equally important as the handcraft.

Nydia Lozano, 1947 | Impressionist Figurative painter
Spanish painter Nydia Lozano was born in Alginet, a small town of the Ribera of Valencia.
The name Nydia recalls the character created by Bulwer-Lytton in his The Last Days of Pompei when the local priest refused a baptism with a pagan name so that Nydia had to be baptized as Laura.
Nydia grew up in the huerta landscape, in which life translates itself in a strong luminous atmosphere and in the bright colors of rice fields and of orange and lemon trees.
Everything that her sensitiveness kept accumulating in youth manifested itself in her affection for painting.

William Shakespeare | Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Sonnet 18 (also known as "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day") is one of the best-known of the 154 sonnets written by English poet and playwright William Shakespeare.
In the sonnet, the speaker asks whether he should compare the Fair Youth to a summer's day, but notes that he has qualities that surpass a summer's day, which is one of the themes of the poem.
He also notes the qualities of a summer day are subject to change and will eventually diminish.
The speaker then states that the Fair Youth will live forever in the lines of the poem, as long as it can be read.
There is an irony being expressed in this sonnet: it is not the actual young man who will be eternalized, but the description of him contained in the poem, and the poem contains scant or no description of the young man, but instead contains vivid and lasting descriptions of a summer day, which the young man is supposed to outlive.

Adam Miller, 1979 | Renaissance / Baroque style painter
Adam Miller's paintings explore the intersection between mythology, ecology and humanism.
Visually inspired by baroque and Hellenistic narrative painting they take a polytheistic approach to contemporary folklore, questions of progress and the experience of human narrative in the face of technological change and the struggle to find meaning in a world poised between expansion and decay.
Miller's work is mannerist in it's use of the human form as a vehicle of feeling and thought beyond the literal representation of a particular person.
