I am a British artist working in drawing, pastel, and oil painting. My practice draws on the techniques and visual language of the Old Masters while engaging modern questions of meaning and myth. Through figurative and symbolic imagery, I like to explore mythology not as a relic of the past but as a vital prism through which modern experience can be understood. My work is informed by an interest in literature, philosophy, and the enduring power of archetypal narratives, seeking points of connection between ancient stories and modern questions.

Damian Chávez (b. 1976, USA) is a L.A. based artist whose work is primarily figurative, crafted with a modern-classical style. Inspired by the Western classical artistic legacy, the figures and portraits stand as individual likenesses but also as a psychological device - using a feminine guise allows him a creative freedom unattainable by other means. His practice is drawing-centered; signature works are nudes, portraits and allegorical subjects inhabiting a dream-like idealized world. Each piece is meticulously made by hand with the finest materials.

Fen de Villiers is a contemporary sculptor whose work centers on revitalizing dynamism, vitality, and implied movement. His artistic approach builds upon foundations laid by early Modernist movements, which once championed these qualities in sculptural form. Inspired by early Vitalist philosophy, Fen's mission is to reinvigorate aesthetic strength in contemporary sculpture. He is driven to create potent, authentic works at a time when many traditional sculptural practices are fading. Originally from Scotland, Fen now lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. His artistic journey represents both scholarly understanding of art history and visionary ambition for sculpture’s future possibilities. Fen de Villiers' sculpture can be found in private collections throughout Europe and the United States of America.

Ruxandra Ionce is a painter and illustrator based in Copenhagen. Trained as an environmental scientist and holding a PhD in the field, she has pursued an artistic practice alongside her scientific career, working within the European academic tradition and drawing particular inspiration from Russian academic drawing. Her work explores historical subjects with an emphasis on technical accuracy and a contemplative approach, evoking archaic spaces, archetypal imagery, and a sense of timeless beauty, with a particular interest in classical narratives and equestrian themes.

Rick J. Delanty (b. 1951) is an American fine artist who describes himself as a “soldier of Beauty,” painting landscapes that reflect God’s creativity and divine attributes. From the Bible and other literary sources, Delanty derives inspiration for his works which describe the nexus of “heaven touching earth,” and paints in a bold, energetic style that expresses his love for life and the world that God has made. Drawing, brushwork, concept, composition and color are woven together to create surfaces and environments that are alive with joy and passion. The fundamentals of design are present in each work, but given a unique place in his paintings that are both representational and experimental simultaneously. Architecture, organic forms, water in all of its forms, still life, and daylight and nocturnal atmosphere all play a part in his study of our natural world. California provides the perfect backdrop for the artist’s observations of beauty, with his studio based in San Clemente.

Rett Longmore is an award-winning sculptor and plein air painter native to Southeast Idaho. Trained with a Bachelor’s degree in Media Arts and Animation, Longmore brings a unique perspective to his work, contrasting his professional background in animation, his sculptures and plein air landscapes instead strive to capture frozen moments or “key frames,” of narrative contemplation. Longmore finds inspiration in the beautiful, from the prose of Cervantes and the Psalms of the Old Testament, to the vibrant rhythms of an Idaho sunset. Longmore’s accolades include the prestigious Anna Hyatt-Huntington Award, the Brookgreen Medal, and two selections for the National Sculpture Society’s Annual Award Show. His work has graced exhibitions from Idaho to New York City, South Carolina to Indianapolis, and resides in private collections across the United States. His professional associations include being a Studio Artist at the Willard Art Center, a member of the National Sculpture Society.

Zach Brown was born in Mars, Pennsylvania, where the rural landscape, Catholic imagery, folklore, and fascination with the unknown shaped his artistic imagination from an early age. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, earning a BFA, and later received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art, where he focused on traditional figurative painting. Brown’s work draws from classical antiquity, Renaissance painting, Symbolism, mythology, and the mysteries of human existence. Working primarily in oil, he creates richly layered compositions that explore mortality, memory, transformation, and the passage of time. His paintings revive forgotten archetypes and myths, treating them not as relics of the past but as living psychological forces. Brown lives and works in a restored nineteenth-century schoolhouse in Pennsylvania, where he continues to create paintings that bridge the ancient and contemporary worlds, exploring the enduring symbols that shape human experience.

Colin Alexander is a Yukon painter of landscapes and figures. At an early age he began pursuing an interest in art, copying the drawings of the old masters into his childhood notebooks. During his teenage years living on the gulf islands, he taught himself to draw with chalk pastels and to paint in oils and acrylics, inspired by the unique light effects of the Pacific Coast seascape. A fascination with the works of Rembrandt and Vermeer led him to specialize in figurative work, and during his travels in Ireland, France and Spain in 1999-2000 he supported himself by drawing street portraits. Colin settled in the Yukon in 2004, and built an off-grid studio outside of Whitehorse where he and his wife now live and work. His solo exhibitions have showcased insightful portraits and epic landscapes. Throughout all of his work is evident his interest in the quality of light; the way it falls on a face or a mountain, and the individuality it reveals.
