Daniel Martin
Daniel Martin (1982) lives and works in Leiden, The Netherlands. Over the past years, his work has been published and exhibited both nationally and internationally. His work is characterized by brisk powerful strokes, intertwined with finely painted elements. Inspired by the imperfection of beauty and the chaos of nature, his most recent body of work is centered around anonymous portraits which exude a disturbing yet intriguing aura as well as his recognizable deliberately-cultivated spontaneity.
Santiago Pani
Santiago Pani (1990), is a Mexican artist, living and working in Leiderdorp, the Netherlands. He is currently focused on his portrait series “Personal Universe” which has been in the works for over a decade. This series features a vast body of recognizable mixed-media paintings, sculptures and varied digital works, which have been exhibited in numerous cities around the globe. This work is inspired by anonymous characters and memories of people stored in the subconscious, and the idea that these anonymous characters are sporadically recalled by our minds to interact and influence our story once again.
