Aga is a visual artist, painter, educator, owner of Aga Szot Art Studio – an art installation, which is at the same time an art studio where on a regular basis I allow people to watch me painting. Co-creator of The Icon Factory & The Icon Walk endorsed by UNESCO.
Aga Szot Art Studio is an idea to create an art installation, which is at the same time an art studio where I can work on a regular basis and allow people to watch me painting, a place where people can see an artist’s work environment, where they can see a work developing and coming into being in front of them. It is a special experience, watching artists at work, witnessing the process of creation. Just as with a traffic accident, people are drawn by curiosity to slow down, to watch, to somehow feel part of the process. People stop and stay and become part of what is going on together with the artist at work.

Mel (1978) was raised in a bohemian environment, her parents encouraged her to adopt a broad and somewhat anti-establishment outlook on life. She relished the opportunities such parenting afforded her, exposure to diverse people, alternative ideas and the constant dialogue around artistic, political and social issues. All of these experiences have served her intellectual inquiry, and artistic development. From an early age she had a keen interest in pop art and animation, using these styles to articulate the world around her. A natural explorer and very curious by nature, Mel gets her artistic inspiration from her extensive travels. Traversing the World, she meets and connects with people from different ethnicities, in various environments both urban and rural, researching their culture and heritage. Searching for the differences between the people she meets, she was struck by the striking similarities, connecting points and the shared kindred spirits she encountered. These unexpected bindings and unlikely affinities, that she found tying together various ethnicities and cultures, stimulates her artistic practice and continues to keep her socially engaged. Mel’s paintings celebrate these memorable encounters in joyous colour, reflecting the pleasure of connections she finds, and painting with an energy that echoes the vibrancy of these connections.
Artist Statement:
“In the early development of my work I began with photography, I was drawn to capture images of the everyday, documenting conventional lives moving through their various spaces, always seeking to formulate a quirky snapshot of life. Over time, this pursuit was not fulfilling my creative hunger, I moved forward to other creative outlets, these included working with acrylics, oils, pastels, watercolours, applying these to canvas, wood, paper, and other materials. In the 1960’s and early 70’s, street art, graffiti, and the combination of psychedelic images and design in both fashion and art were prolific, these were a strong grounding on which I based my early development. The vivid colours of those eras, the strong lines and deep contrasts that first opened my artistic eyes, all find echoes in my work today. In later life I began to expand my focus to include other areas of art and design, I was inspired by the posters and prints of artists such as Andy Warhol, the abstract designs of Picasso, and the imagination used in the creation of works by Salvador Dali & Frida Kahlo. All of these artists have left a strong influence on me. At present, I am committed to expanding my scope and very open to exploring new avenues to articulate through my painting and find new expression to represent the often contradictory ways in which our world is formed.”

Artist Statement:
“I am a Polish artist based in Ireland with a degree from Faculty of Art, The Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa. My work explores the relationship between the colour, abstract art, action painting and expressionism. I have always been fascinated by children’s art, calligraphy, Aboriginal art and African art from which also these artistic directions draw. I would point out three artists from my home country who have had an influence on my art: Jacek Malczewski, Piotr Potworowski and Jerzy Nowosielski. In my artistic practice I use bold colours, scratched, rusty surfaces and outlines of the silhouettes of people, boats, trees and birds. Often I also paint non-figurative artworks which can be described as colourful mindscapes. I am working in acrylic paints and also clay as a ceramist.”

Iulian was born and raised in Piatra Neamt, a small city in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains from Romanian. He is currently living and working as an artist for the past 7 years in Dublin City. As main influence, nature, is inspiring him in drawings and paintings. As a technique of choice, he using the palate knifes on Fabrriano paper to immortalize different aspect of the beauty that nature offers for free to anyone at any stage of our life.
Artist Statement:
“We live in a world that seems to have too many things and we forgot the basic connection that we have with the nature around us. I started my project thinking about what are the values that we as a society had created, or should I say the fake values. I did not know where to look or what to acknowledge as being “pure” anymore, because I am getting lost in the obsession to gain more physical and technological things/objects in this meaningless reason of materialism. I start to critically look for answers that came up after I study the traditional and contemporary paintings of artists like: Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Gustave Courbet, Nicolae Grigorescu and many more. I appropriated their art using Photoshop to make digital collages, transferred them on canvas material. Doing so I realized that I have to come back to basics, in the way that this process was too complicated and time-consuming. I was not satisfied with the results and I was feeling that I want to “break out” of these processes that was holding me back from painting without any kind of limitations. I figured out that I need to simplify everything. To go back to basics, using just Fabiano paper, brushes and painting knives. Rapidly I felt like I found my way back to nature, having no restriction, creating that “pure beauty” using nature as it is, the most powerful teacher. My goal was to “rediscover” my real values, during this journey that got me back to my natural way of being. The outcome of my project is to present and offer to the viewer my homage towards the nature around us, that we keep forgetting that “she” is the only reason for our existence on this planet.”

I am self-taught artist. Not counting a few private lessons, I learned painting by myself, or rather, it taught me because painting is a state of mind. You are born an artist and then you just let yourself be led, and then life becomes an art.

I’m painting emotional states, but also thoughts. It is “something” that eludes words and can be only captured on canvas or paper. I paint Magic because it surrounds us. It wanders around in the streets and in the apartments. People radiate its colours.

I paint on canvas, paper, and wood. My works have been exhibited in galleries in Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic. This year I’m honored to have the exhibition as part of the festival in The Hunt Museum and Belltale foyer. The theme of this exhibition is:
Transformation – the golden path.
Transformation as a deep process of consciousness.

In April, being in the hospital, I experienced a state of the borderline between life and death, which caused some kind of enlightenment. As painting is my medium of communication, since then I have been trying to paint what I experienced and describe the information I received with a brush. After all “a picture is worth 1000 words”.

Jestem samoukiem. Nie licząc paru lekcji prywatnych, malarstwa uczyłam się sama. A raczej ono mnie uczyło. Bo malarstwo to stan ducha. Artystą sie rodzisz, a potem już tylko dajesz się prowadzić. A wtedy życie staje się sztuką.

Co maluję? Stany emocjonalne. Ale też przemyślenia. To “coś” co wymyka się słowom a uchwycić można na płótnie lub papierze. Maluje Magię, bo ona jest wokół. Snuje się ulicami i w mieszkaniach. Ludzie emanują jej kolorami.

Technika: Maluję na płótnie, papierze, drewnie.
Moje prace wystawiano w galeriach w Polsce, Niemczech, Czechach.

W tym roku mam zaszczyt wystawiać w ramach festiwalu w The Hunt Museum i w foyer Belltale. Tematem tej wystawy jest:
Transformacja – złota ścieżka.
Transformacja jako głęboki proces świadomości.

W kwietniu będac w szpitalu, doświadczyłam stanu z pogranicza życia i śmierci co spowodowało pewien rodzaj olśnienia. A ponieważ moim środkiem przekazu jest malarstwo, staram się od tego czasu namalować to co przeżyłam , opisać pędzlem informacje, które otrzymałam.
Przeciez “obraz wart 1000 słów”.

I choć każdy odbiorca przefiltruje przez siebie moje obrazy, mam wielką nadzieję, że główna myśl – złota ścieżka – pozostanie czytelna dla każdego.
Złota ścieżka to droga balansu wewnętrznego, równowagi, zaprzyjaźnienia się ze swoimi najgorszymi cieniami, czerpania Mocy z codzienność i w koncu wibracja głębokiej empatii.
To wewnętrzne, stabilne zaufanie do Absolutu, które manifestuje się na zewnątrz.

Adriana prowadzi w każdą niedzielę wieczorne sesje malarskie na FB Live.

Happily living in the Broadford countryside with my young family. I paint large colourful, fun, and vibrant paintings. My work is expressive, semi-abstract, and full of movement and bright, bold colours.

Having studied business in college, and worked in marketing, I returned to study art as a new mum and rekindled my love of painting. I developed an interest in abstract modern geometric art, and this led to me becoming slightly obsessed with spots! Spots and dots feature in all my recent work. I love to create lots of soft layers of ink and high-flow acrylic paint on canvas, building a rainbow of colours in each background. This sets the stage for long dancing grasses and vivid abstracted florals. Inspired by wildflowers, movement, children’s giggles, and positive vibes, I hope my paintings make you smile! I imagine I am lying in the long grass and looking out at the world from a new perspective, in this style of painting, and I hope you do too!

I teach my own Happy Art children’s art classes and workshops locally; and host seasonal children’s art camps. I am a member of the Art Limerick group of artists and enjoy our exhibitions and art markets. I am also a member of the By Design art and craft co-op shop in Castletroy town centre, where I display my art in the gallery for sale, and I am happy to take commissions if you would like your very own piece of Happy Art!

Szczęśliwie mieszkam na wsi Broadford z moją młodą rodziną. Maluję duże kolorowe, zabawne i żywe obrazy. Moje prace są wyraziste, na wpół abstrakcyjne, pełne ruchu i jasnych, odważnych kolorów.

Studiowałam biznes i pracowałam w marketingu, a jako młoda mama wróciłam do studiów artystycznych i na nowo rozpaliła się moja miłość do malarstwa. Zainteresowałem się abstrakcyjną, nowoczesną sztuką geometryczną, co doprowadziło do lekkiej obsesji na punkcie plam! Kropki i kropki występują we wszystkich moich ostatnich pracach. Uwielbiam tworzyć na płótnie wiele miękkich warstw atramentu i farby akrylowej o dużej płynności, budując tęczę kolorów na każdym tle. To tworzy przestrzeń dla długich tańczących traw i żywych, abstrakcyjnych kwiatów. Zainspirowana polnymi kwiatami, ruchem, dziecięcym chichotem i pozytywnymi wibracjami, mam nadzieję, że moje obrazy wywołają uśmiech! Wyobrażam sobie, że leżę w wysokiej trawie i patrzę na świat z nowej perspektywy, w tym stylu malowania i mam nadzieję, że Ty też!

Prowadzę lokalne zajęcia i warsztaty plastyczne dla dzieci Happy Art; i organizuję sezonowe obozy artystyczne dla dzieci. Jestem członkiem grupy artystów Art Limerick i cieszę się naszymi wystawami i targami sztuki. Jestem również członkiem artystycznego i rzemieślniczego sklepu By Design w centrum miasta Castletroy, gdzie wystawiam swoje prace w galerii na sprzedaż i chętnie przyjmę zamówienie, jeśli chcesz mieć swój własny kawałek Happy Art!

I’m a vocalist and vocal coach, founder of Heart Singing, author of the interactive women’s course “Feel, Hear and Love Your Voice”.
My passion is singing, which comes from the heart and is embodied. I also help others find themselves through their voice and I teach vocal technique. I’ve always been singing, I’ve started my music adventure at the age of 16. Since I started singing on stage, I performed in a wide variety of configurations, bands, and projects.

For the past two years, my partner and I have been making music that combines pop and folk with a message of openness of heart, love for nature, and self-development.

My songs always reflect my personal process in discovering myself. I write about things that are important to me, about the depth and beauty I find in life, about things that touch and move me.

Jestem wokalistką i trenerką wokalną, założycielką Heart Singing, autorką interaktywnego kursu dla kobiet „Feel, Hear and Love Your Voice”.

Moją pasją jest śpiew, który pochodzi z serca i jest ucieleśniony. Pomagam też innym odnaleźć się poprzez głos i uczę techniki wokalnej. Od zawsze śpiewam, swoją przygodę z muzyką zaczęłam w wieku 16 lat. Odkąd zaczęłam śpiewać na scenie występowałam w różnych konfiguracjach, zespołach i projektach.

Od dwóch lat tworzymy z moim partnerem muzykę, która łączy pop i folk z przesłaniem otwartości serca, miłości do natury i samorozwoju.

Moje piosenki zawsze odzwierciedlają mój osobisty proces odkrywania siebie. Piszę o rzeczach, które są dla mnie ważne, o głębi i pięknie, które odnajduję w życiu, o rzeczach, które mnie poruszają i poruszają.

Emiji is a Dublin based artist, composer, and photographer.

He provides us with beautiful, soothing sounds of pianos, textural ambiences, cinematic drums, engaging, epic atmospheres, and relaxing voices. His music meets our deepest roots in a peaceful place where we can dive deep into ourselves and go for a beautiful, healing, introspective Journey deep into self and into nature.

He also loves to shoot in nature, especially trees.

Emiji encapsules deep emotions, mixed with sometimes dark and sometimes epic atmospheres. His music is an eclectic genre-bending mix of Neoclassical, IDM, Cinematic, and Ambient, much like the journey of a roller coaster.

“The geometric artwork suggests Emiji hears the mathematical roots of the sounds and their connection to one another and their relationships and put the track together with the organic flow in mind the way one might model weather systems, the way Ryoji Ikeda has mapped out generative sound that seems to follow no formal logic but whose vectors are explicable through mathematical modeling and representation with a visual component.” – Queen City Sounds.

“Love this existence. It’s for you.”

Emiji jest artystą, kompozytorem i fotografem mieszkającym w Dublinie.

Zapewnia nam piękne, kojące dźwięki fortepianów, nastrojów fakturowych, kinowych bębnów, wciągającej, epickiej atmosfery i relaksujących głosów. Jego muzyka dotyka naszych najgłębszych korzeni w spokojnym miejscu, w którym możemy zanurkować głęboko w siebie i udać się w piękną, uzdrawiającą, introspektywną Podróż w głąb siebie i natury.

Uwielbia też fotografować na łonie natury, zwłaszcza drzewa.

Emiji wyłapuje głębokie emocje, przemieszane czasem z mroczną, a czasem epicką atmosferą. Jego muzyka jest eklektyczną mieszanką neoklasyki, IDM, Cinematic i Ambient, zupełnie jak podróż kolejką roller coaster.

“Geometryczna grafika sugeruje, że Emiji słyszy matematyczne korzenie dźwięków i ich wzajemne powiązania i ich relacje oraz łączy je z organicznym przepływem, w taki sposób w jaki można modelować systemy pogodowe, w sposób, w jaki Ryoji Ikeda oznaczał wywołujący dźwięk wydaje się niezgodne z formalną logiką, ale których wektory można wytłumaczyć poprzez modelowanie matematyczne i reprezentację z komponentem wizualnym” – Queen City Sounds.

“Kochaj tę egzystencję. Jest dla Ciebie.”

Ewa holds MA in Art and Design and is an independent performing artist, dancer, dance teacher, dance movement therapist, Trauma and Tension Release exercises provider, owner of Alchemy of Movement Limerick.

Ewa in her practice connects therapeutic bodywork with artistic dance and movement, working with people through therapeutic forms of dance and trauma release exercises deepens her connection and understanding of the body.

Each of her performances is largely improvised, spontaneous, but yet authentic. By focusing on the sensations from the body, searching for emotions that are hidden, exploring the mind-body connection, she allows spontaneous movement to arise, by doing so she empowers the body to tell its unique story.

Ewa’s projects: Performing Emotional Labour 2014, Inner Battle 2015, Mapping Feelings 2015, Dancing body – Embrace 2016, Constance Markievicz 2016, The Soul 2018, Venus Project 2018, Fantasmagoria Dance Theatre 2017-2019, Let your body speak 2019, Behind the skin 2021

Ewa posiada tytuł magistra sztuki i projektowania, jest niezależną artystką performatywną, tancerką, nauczycielką tańca, terapeutką ruchu tanecznego, trenerką ćwiczeń Trauma and Tension Release, właścicielką Alchemy of Movement Limerick.

Ewa w swojej praktyce łączy terapeutyczną pracę z ciałem z artystycznym tańcem i ruchem, praca z ludźmi poprzez terapeutyczne formy tańca i ćwiczenia uwalniania traumy pogłębia jej połączenie i rozumienie ciała.

Każdy z jej występów jest w dużej mierze improwizowany, spontaniczny, ale jednocześnie autentyczny. Skupiając się na doznaniach płynących z ciała, szukając ukrytych emocji, eksplorując połączenie umysł-ciało, pozwala zaistnieć spontanicznemu ruchowi, w ten sposób uzdalniając ciało do opowiedzenia swojej wyjątkowej historii.

Projekty Ewy: Performing Emotional Labor 2014, Inner Battle 2015, Mapowanie Uczuć 2015, Tańczące ciało – Uścisk 2016, Constance Markiewicz 2016, Dusza 2018, Projekt Wenus 2018, Teatr Tańca Fantasmagoria 2017-2019, Niech twoje ciało przemówi 2019, Za skórą 2021
