FREYA JOBBINS
FACES AND IDENTITY
Freya elicits an uncanny, familiar and unfamiliar, disturbing sense of identity through the use of selected materials and their symbolic narratives to address the silent and hidden human truths of our intimacy. She enjoys placing familiar objects in unfamiliar environments, and intricately appropriating, reassembling, and subverting the humanoid faces of crafts or other objects, thereby exploring concepts of identity, and self-disguise. Her printmaking practice is a social commentary of the human experience.
FREYA ROBBINS
Australian multidisciplinary artist living in Sydney. Her practice includes assembly, installation, video, collage and printmaking. Freya's prints and sculptures are widely exhibited and collected in Australia. Also exhibited in Belgium, New York, Detroit and San Francisco, USA, Hamburg, Germany, Oslo, Norway, Klagenfurt, Austria, Yorkshire, England, Dubai, UAE and Tel Aviv, Israel.

LAURA DINELLO
PEOPLE IN MOSAIC
Chicago-born, hobby-turned-artist legend. At the age of 30, Laura's first invitation to participate in the exhibition was a great success, almost all of her works were sold, and thus began her artistic career. Laura opened her own gallery on the prestigious Bay Street in Charleston, South Carolina, and her unique style of cut canvas mosaics has gained so much adoration that her work has been featured in numerous public and private collections in the United States and Europe.
LAURA DINELLO
Born and working in the United States, Laura currently lives in an artistic family and her four talented children are also artists. Her work is collected by numerous public and private institutions in the United States and Europe, as well as hotels

KARLA MARCHESI
STILL LIFE FABLE
Marchesi has long employed the still-life genre as a means of reflecting on the sociocultural anxieties of our time. Her paintings are a dramatic critique of what it means to be human in the present in the context of late capitalism and the existential climate crisis, interweaving the allegorical deconstruction of ideological systems with autobiography, sentimentality and humor. Using eco-horror tropes, art-historical references, semiotics, and autobiographical elements, Marchesi offers a variety of still lifes that pulsate with life. Non-human entities are protagonists of agency, movement, threat and desire: from the heavenly skies to the depths of the sea.
KARLA MARCHESI
Born in Australia in 1984, he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (2007) with Honours from the Queensland School of Art, Griffith University in 2004. He has also won numerous awards including: Redland Art Prize (2010), Wilson Prize for Visual Arts (2012) and Arts Council Australia First Prize for Early Career New Work (2013). In 2012 Marchesi resided at the Atelierhaus Mengerzeile studio in Berlin, following which she held her first international solo exhibition at Kunsthalle M3 Berlin, and subsequently participated in several international group exhibitions. Her work is held in the collections of many public institutions including the University of Queensland Art Museum, the Australian Catholic University and several regional galleries.

CLAUDIA KRAUS
SILENCE IN LIFE
Claudia Klaus focuses on expanding sensory perceptions of natural and spiritual landscapes. Fragility and transience are themes she is committed to presenting and exploring repeatedly. Texture and layering are recurring in her work. Claudia was inspired by Yugen's Japanese aesthetic - finding beauty in the dark, appreciating hints rather than overt revealing, and the idea of a mysterious immersion in nature.
CLAUDIA KLAUS
Claudia Kraus lives in Vienna and is a visual artist working mainly in photography, painting and drawing. Her work has been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions in Vienna, Budapest, London, Melbourne, Miami, and published in several national and international magazines.

"'insight' is a journey through inner landscapes, an immersion into a quiet, poetically dense world of archetypical symbols. A journey into the deep.
I see landscape as a projection screen for inner processes, visually manifested and experienced in my photographs. Memories and dreams, as well as the collective unconscious influence how the images are experienced."
PAOLA DEL VESCOVO
EXISTENTIAL MALAISE
A certain melancholy and loneliness of the individual in today's society seems to be the central theme of Paula Del Vescovo's research.
Mine are atmospheric paintings, and while the language used seems fluid and swift—belonging to the sensual dimension of modern everyday life—it reveals the aura-like side of the image and the enchanting dimension and beauty of our perception of the world. The difference is that it is not a relative concept associated with time, fashion, taste, latitude, etc., but a spiritual thing that exists in each of us and can be awakened by art.
The Key of Access is a luminous sign that reveals the deep meaning of things, reawakens our fascination with the world, and rescues us through its mysteries without explanation. In this sense, it has an almost romantic element of surreal symbolism, but the starting point is a deeply modern, existential malaise, and a way out through painting.
PAOLA DEL VESCOVO
Born in Frascati (Rome), lives and works in Frascati, Berlin and Naples. Paula was a professor of fine arts at the Viterbo Academy of Painting Restoration, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and a visiting professor of technical painters at the Berlin University of the Arts. From 2003 to present, he is the chairman of painting restoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples.
She has done extensive restoration work for both public and private institutions, and has participated in and presented numerous national conferences on restoration and conservation topics.
