Born in Orwell's futuristic year of 1984, Marie Rosen is a Belgian artist based in Brussels, where her artistic journey began after graduating from the esteemed La Cambre art school. Deeply rooted in Belgian artistic traditions, her works draw inspiration from Flemish Primitive painters and the Surrealist movement. Painted on wood, copper, and paper, Rosen’s works capture a sense of estranged intimacy, as they depict the everyday world through a lens that feels both familiar and uncanny. Her paintings evoke the intriguing quality of ex-voto works, blending intricate geometric patterns inspired by the Art Deco interiors of her native city and the mid-century architecture of California. Though her scenes may appear to depict familiar moments, there is an inherent ambiguity—the viewer is never quite sure of what is happening, but is instead enveloped in a surreal atmosphere that speaks to the human experience. Rosen’s work transports us to a world that feels strangely known, yet undeniably enigmatic. Her works are held in prominent private collections across Europe and institutional collections within Belgium.

Born in 1977 in Helsinki, Finland, Elina Salminen lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.

Salminen’s works are hybrid. They are both paintings and objects, sculptures and installations, light and shadow, floating and barely palpable, yet we are drawn to unveil what lies behind them or else, within the color itself. Salminen surprises us as viewers and we question what we see. Her works play with space and time, they move beyond the surface and reflect on her fascination with color as an intangible source of light. With her paintings, Salminen delicately applies monochromatic hues on edges and corners, then covers the emptiness with translucent materials such as cloth or glass. There is no paint on the surface of the painting, only a reflection of the color that hides behind. Utterly romantic, her works engage us in a conversation about protection and warmth. They are abstracted minimalist compositions that entail infinite meanings, each altered with time and space.

Born in 2001 in Ulaan Ude, Buriad-Mongolia, Yuma Radne currently lives and works in London, UK where she is completing her degree at Slade School of Art. Radne previously studied in Saint Petersburg and Vienna. Her work explores the relationship between humans and nature, and narrates the connection between the two. Mythological, fantastical, energetic and incredibly unique, Radne creates her own myths to explore, and operates with the idea that nothing is supposed to have an answer and anything can be any color you want it to be.

Born in 1994, in Huy, Belgium, Mégane Likin lives and works in Brussels. A visual arts graduate in both Painting and Drawing, Mégane Likin invites us on a journey to understand the transformation of events, reinventing her memories over time. Her approach is characterized by a subtle play of erasure—an artistic gesture that, far from concealing, reveals the essence of what has disappeared, making the invisible visible. Her creative process leads the viewer on a journey that confronts their own memories and the subjectivity of their mind. Her small paintings are like windows—a way of pausing the image and fixing the passing of time. Through her landscapes, it is the trace of time that emerges, a trace that invites us to question what lies just beyond the horizon. This dialogue between erasure and appearance, between the visible and the invisible, creates a tension where the ephemeral takes on its full meaning. Mégane reminds us that each moment is unique, irreversible, and that no experience can ever be lived the same way twice. Having widely exhibited in Belgium, she has received several awards during her career and her works have been placed in prominent European private art collections.

Born in 1988 in Tehran, Iran, Reihaneh Hosseini lives and works in Vienna.

Born and raised in Tehran, Hosseini studied philosophy before emigrating to Vienna in 2014, where she currently resides. Trained under Austrian abstract artists including Christian Schwarzwald and Gunter Damisch, Reihaneh soon returned to figurative painting, her favored style for reflecting on the world that surrounds her. As a storyteller, she is inspired by her friends and her everyday life experiences, yet she portrays them with a dysmorphic rendition, exaggerated proportions, grotesque, and distorted features, and an incongruous palette. Her strong sense of corporeality coupled with the absurdity of the scenes that she depicts reveal a psycho-emotional approach to life and painting. The figures that populate her works oscillate between beauty and ugliness, they have a cartoonish appearance that adds a glimpse of humor and playfulness to her compositions, yet they are imbued with philosophical subtleties. Hosseini’s paintings take us to a dreamlike world where each of her characters evokes our unconscious thoughts, our inner child, as well as our mental and social imagery.

Born in 1983 in Charleroi, Belgium, Thomas Mazzarella live and works in Brussels. A man of few words, Mazzarella's minimal paintings are like contemporary ex-voto objects that tell the story of common people, in pastel colors and set against video-game like worlds. Perspective is questioned, humor is unquestionable and curiosity is triggered. First a self-taught artist drawn to graffiti and street art, Thomas Mazzarella went on to study art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège. From there on, he started painting the imaginary lives of tiny men, and while there is a naïve allure to his paintings, there is an undeniable  undertone of satire, politics and social observance. Mazzarella's works are in reputable private collections in Europe and is several institutional collections in Belgium.
