Erik Olivera:
ABOUT: Erik Olivera is a Cuban Artist who has art running in his veins. His mother was an artist and he learnt with her, accompanying her as she did her work and eventually studying art at Cuba’s National Arts Academy of Bellas Artes ” San Alejandro”. Erik’s Art Work has taken him all over the world, and one of his most popular collections seems to be that of Orishas. He exclaimed that he has sold some of his Orisha work to people who he said he least expected to want to buy his work. He puts this down to the fact that some connection was made spiritually between the buyer and the portrait.

ABOUT: Céline is a visual artist, jewellery maker, and performer based in Nottingham. The work she does is very varied, but I really love her sketches describing human emotion which resonated with me.
HOW IT FEELS: Trying to describe the physicality of emotions. Trying to draw emotions….
One of my Favourite’s:
Natalie Cooper
ABOUT: Natalie is an self-taught artist who uses mixed media as her inspiration and experimentation as a key part of her creative process. Her main themes are deeply personal reflections of self and environment and include family, emotion and the subconscious; the colours and forms celebrate her Caribbean heritage and affinity to Latin American art.
Her ethereal writing with it’s own strong imagery, is coupled with detailed illustration to place the image within its often complex emotional context. Natalie describes her work as celebrating the sanctity, playfulness and transcendence of daily life and her images as associated with colour, photo realism and strong graphical forms. She is a graphic designer and a maker of African Musical Instruments

contemporary West African society in Britain, on the African continent and
in the wider African Diaspora. She makes use of different mediums/media to
emphasis the context of the work often employing recycled objects and

traditional West African costume, these costumes are still widely worn and
hold strong cultural ties for societies living in the Diaspora.
