MAGDALENA MOREY, SPAIN
​
Magdalena has a strong affinity to nature and loves to explore new ideas and places. This influence can be clearly seen in her abstract landscapes which are bold, vibrant and direct but often with a gentle sense of wistfulness also woven in.
Born in 1974, Magdalena grew up and formally studied art for 10 years in the university town of Lublin in Poland, supporting herself and her university fees by working full time at a local art studio. After moving to Cambridge, England in 2005 she found various venues in which to display her work and received her first offer for permanent gallery representation in 2008. In 2009 Magdalena moved to Switzerland, where she continued painting whilst raising her young children.
Following her dream of living in Spain, in 2015 Magdalena and her family moved central Spain where she registered as a full-time, freelance artist. Magdalena and her family now live in the picturesque, rural region of Asturias in the north of Spain where she continues her artistic explorations.

Anna Kerman, UK
​
Anna Kerman is a Swedish born (b.1980) emerging artist. Her style displays the influence of a variety of painters, such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Francis Bacon and Lee Krasner.
Kerman's paintings are characterized by her thick handling of acrylic paint in a fevered and immediate manner. She often begins with undercoats of black, white or aquamarine, and topcoats of brighter colours. These layers are then scraped, pushed, and dragged, then rearranged again. She paints by instinct, although she is naturally drawn to painting scenes of rough weather (storms) and ocean horizons. Combining a sense of sadness and stillness which is inspired by Nordic melancholy.
Kerman lives and works on the Isle of Wight, of the south coast of England.
