Mathilde Polidori
French painter and muralist Mathilde Polidori is on the way up. This award-winning artist, whose work has been shown in France and in the United States, has participated in group shows, taken part in podcasts and has been covered by the press. Mathilde Polidori specializes in colorful portraits which she creates using acrylic, oil and watercolor paints. Her style is defined by a mixture of flat color surfaces and black and white lines, which produces a unique effect. The artist is very much inspired by the world and people around her, which she successfully captures in her highly-emotional and bold compositions.
David Shepherd
Hyperrealism lovers, listen up! David Shepherd could just be what you were looking for. David Shepherd is a hyperrealist Canadian painter whose work has been shown in private collections across Canada, the US and Germany. He uses photography as a base reference to create his mesmerizing and vibrant oil on canvas paintings. His pieces are characterized by a sense of world community and empathy for other human beings, made visible through the recurrent motif of the eye, which represents what the artist calls a “fingerprint”, a symbol of identity and hope for the future.
Kh Bamba
Kh Bamba, a painter, textile artist and graphic designer from Senegal, is rethinking the way we establish ourselves in the world during this time of “identity crisis”. Kh Bamba is inspired by Senegalese history and tradition to create his colorful figurative and conceptual paintings, which he makes using paint, yarn and textiles. The artist often incorporates in his work a multitude of cultural elements such as masks and statues from various ethnic groups, in an effort to create a sense of unity and harmony, while denouncing xenophobia, racism and discrimination. His art acts as a reminder for the Senegalese youth to get in touch with their heritage and connect with one another.
Albert Madaula
Albert Madaula is a self-taught Spanish artist whose passion for painting is infectious. His vibrant and colorful creations are a visual feast for the eyes. They capture nature’s exquisite beauty with the recurrent theme of leopards, lions and other wildcats, which truly seem to come alive in his paintings. Albert Madaula uses acrylic, pastels, oil sticks and spray on linen cloth to produce his contemporary, figurative and surrealist artworks. The artist’s visual world is an ode to the enjoyment of life’s small pleasures, and is part of a process which calls for the embracing of diversity and inclusion.
Fares Micue
Little did Spanish self-taught conceptual photographer Fares Micue know that her hobby for photography, which she started in 2009, would turn out to be a massive springboard for her career. Fares Micue is now a best selling artist on SINGULART. Her work has been featured in publications and international group exhibitions internationally. Fares Micue’s photographs all tell a story, with special attention placed on visual symbols (flowers, balloons), location (deserts, mountains) and mood (mysterious, dreamy). Her powerful self-portraits convey a message of hope, personal growth and self-development, which are empowering and inspiring to the viewer.
