I´m 32 years old and an artist from Austria.
I went to a highschool with a special branch for art. I graduated with a homage to Giorgio de Chirico.  I also took part in an art show in my University in Linz, Austria. When I visited the Calle Libre Artfest in Vienna, I met a spanish artist, who encouraged me to show my work on Instagram. Since that, I got an offer from the OUI-gallery in Hong Kong.
I am also a member of the artclub Passau, Germany. They showed my work together with other members in the Saint Anna Chapel in Passau. I will also take part in their show this December. All of that helped me to become a known artist in my area and got me some commissions as well.

Mike served for twenty years in the United States Air Force as an officer and pilot.  His experiences flying large cargo aircraft across the world continues to inspire his artistic work.  Mike’s artistic talents are largely self-taught, but he is grounded in the foundational skills used by the masters.  Mike looks at the world differently.  His sweeping landscapes and broad, colorful strokes are motivated by the Impressionists of the past, Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Picasso, viewing the world through the same non-traditional lens.  Mike lives with his wife in his hometown of Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the majestic Pike’s Peak watches overhead.

My name is Javier Souza, I'm Chilean and 23 years old currently. I was always interested in art, but only started trying to do my own art in 2019 because I started seeing how art makes people feel something beyond just images. The 

things I mostly do are oil paintings: I like tropical aesthetics, vibrant colours, contrasts between different textures and experimenting with scenarios or shapes you don't usually see in real life. I love contrasts between different textures and experimenting with scenarios or shape. 

Hi! My name is Daniela Mendoza Marín, and I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Earth Sciences. Science and art have been my two passions since I can remember. That is why when I am not studying rocks and mountains, I try to be involved in art-related activities as much as possible. That lead me to become an art educator here at Culturally!

I look forward to growing and learning more about different ways to express ourselves through art.
