Colin Staples, 1959 | Figurative painter

Colin Staples, Australian painter: For me, art has always been my vital spark, a journey of discovery into not only techniques and visuals, but of mind and letting go to watch the work create itself.

The creation of art has been my driving force since early childhood with the past 10 years seeing continued growth. The concepts behind my art have been largely influenced through many years of studying martial arts and it's philosophies of no mind; shedding the ego. I feel my best work is expressed through this approach and have developed a feeling I am now intimate with, and trust.

Serguei Zlenko, 1960 | Realist / Surrealist painter

Born in Georgia, Сергей Зленко is a classically trained artist whose works represent the school of traditional Russian painting.

His works include, amongst other things, topographical landscapes, classic ballet dancer motifs and figurative portraits of people, animals and events. Zlenko is inspired by a vast array of topics, which can be seen in his multidimensional artworks.

In his portraits, Zlenko succeeds in capturing a natural and spontaneous moment which makes his paintings almost photolike.
