Christian Schloe | Digital Visionary painter

Austrian Visionary painter Christian Schloe works includes digital art, painting, illustration and photography.

The surreal scenes by Christian Schloe feature bizarre moments that draw viewers out of a concrete reality and into a dreamy, fictional world.

In his work, the digital artist creates expressive visual stories filled with soft color palettes, elegant birds and butterflies, soft flower petals, and otherworldly, majestic landscapes.

The illusion of a scratched canvas and worn, aged edges allude to a different time and place where a howling wolf is half human, half animal; a couple dances among the clouds; and a young girl collects drops of moonlight in a bowl.

Sampo Kaikkonen, 1975 | Figurative painter

Sampo Kaikkonen, a Finnish figurative painter living and working in Oulu, Finland.

His paintings respect the technique and style of the old masters.

The atmosphere in the paintings is timeless. There are no symbols of specific era and the landscape is universal.

Beside the dominant human figures another strong factor in his works is emotion which mediates through his themes, expressions and colors.

Pia Erlandsson | Swedish Watercolor painter

Swedish painter Pia Erlandsson works through watercolors to focus on the minute expressions of her subjects. Her fascination with human emotions is evident throughout her ethereal oeuvre.
- I was born in south of Sweden, living in Gothenburg since many years back. I have been working full time as a watercolor artist since 2007.
In my paintings I usually portray people. I want to convey feelings and expressions of universal emotions, communicating different states of the human mind. I try to find the tension and harmony between colors and shapes, and light and darkness, where the water and pigments together create new forms.
