ABI JAMESON
Abi Jameson is a British contemporary painter living in France whose art lives in the space between clarity and chaos. After losing the majority of her sight in 2013, her perception shifted – and with it, her creative voice. Drawing on memory, intuition, and the blurred edges of vision, she creates layered works that speak to resilience, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape us.
Her paintings, exhibited widely across Europe, are an evolving meditation on what it means to see, to feel, and to adapt. Whether through bold abstraction or delicate marks, each piece is an invitation to slow down and consider how perception and memory entwine.
“I don’t see the world like I used to — but in many ways, that’s become a gift,” says Jameson.

Adam Renouf
Pugilist, Architect and DJ, Renouf’s artwork stems from several inspirations: Mayan culture, hallucinogenics, and the internal struggle of the self.
The body of work recently produced, some of which is on display, represents a five year journey culminating in art that offers no apology in provoking debate both with the self as well as the collective.
These genuinely individual pieces can be hung as seen or alternatively lit, to expose a truly mesmerising image.

‘This new series of paintings I am currently working on encompasses my time in slow contemplation of my surroundings, in particular the rural landscape. The expansiveness of vistas opens up sensations of exploration of liminal spaces, which intangibly portray very strong autobiographical elements that link directly with my bond with nature and its quiet sense of the sacred. It is in these spaces that we in turn come more to a knowingness about ourselves and the world in which we live.

“All feelings and experiences have their place and function. I focus on positive experiences and the healing power of beauty. Expressed with bright and colourful hues, fluency, geometry and by creating order in chaos. Reinventing oneself and rebirth. Self-experience and self-development. These are the main themes in my work. The works are characterized by a variety in power. Most are eagerly expressive, almost explosive. Some are more stabilizing or even modest.
I try to create a sentiment, enlighten the spirit and provide comfort for the soul.”

JAMES FOX
‘I grew up in Surrey, UK, and have been drawn to photography since my teens, when I started shooting on a 35mm SLR. My work tends to explore liminal spaces, urban decay, and the emotional atmosphere of overlooked environments — often with an eye toward psychogeography and the transient nature of place. I also experiment with more abstract forms when they feel right.
I’ve lived in the UK, Spain (Órgiva), and now Bulgaria, near Plovdiv. During my time in Spain, I exhibited photography on a few occasions and became part of a small creative community. I’m currently rebuilding my portfolio and plan to relaunch my photography website soon. Alongside photography, I make music with my wife under the name Headism. We write and produce tracks in Ableton, then play guitar, piano, and sing live. Our music is eclectic and emotionally driven, influenced by many genres. We performed a few gigs in Spain and are now looking to restart the project in Bulgaria. My approach to both photography and music is intuitive and experimental.

“I spend my time as an artist waiting for that moment, I find it everywhere. Ethereal light, the seductive allure of water, more recently a black storm gathering over the almost iridescent yellow of our rape fields… not only a visual signal of something magical but a stirring, inside, of the invisible natural force of nature.. those are the moments l interpret through my marks of colour and movement on canvas. I do not always paint a virtual representation, I desire to capture that complex human perception of both the physical and emotional responses to a place and time that moves and connects us all…”

Sally is an artist based in Norwich, UK. She creates works on paper and mixed-media paintings informed by the textures, colours and structures of the urban environment. Her current practice reflects the decades she has been creating, using papers and collagraph plates created over decades. By placing new against old she is revisiting her history; ‘when I stand back I feel I am not looking at a piece I have made this month, this year or even this decade. At this point in my life that is where the meaning lies.’
As well as being a professional artist educated to Masters level, Sally is also a qualified teacher with many years of teaching experience, and runs a series of courses for artists of all levels.

TANSY ROAKE
Tansy is an artist and musician living and working in Southern Spain. She has exhibited across the UK and is now developing her practice and running a studio gallery – Nuestro Estudio – in Órgiva. Painting with industrial materials, glitter and dead insects – her pieces don’t really fit into the box of ‘fine art’. She makes confident, arresting artwork with an effective use of a strikingly simple colour palate.
As well as unusual abstracts that are reminiscent of alien landscapes, she creates works inspired by the unique waves of different sounds. Pieces from her ‘soundscape’ body of work include the wave of a David Bowie song and a representational piece inspired by the waveform of her husband’s snoring. Tansy is also a musician and sings in the alternative/postpunk band ShowPony.

VERITY EVANS
Verity is a Welsh mezzo-soprano, poet, and teacher based La Alpujarra, Spain. Trained in classical voice from a young age in Wales, her practice centres on the pleasure of singing and the relationship between voice, sound, and space.
Alongside singing projects, much of Verity’s creative work unfolds privately through poetry and voice-based exploration, a way to process, listen, and make meaning.
Through her education project, she works with children to explore voice as empowerment, collective expression, and the inclusion of neurodiverse voices. Verity is drawn to collaborative creative processes: voice, sound, and shared experience, where care, attention, and experimentation meet.
Wayne Janisch
‘An exploration of light, atmosphere and emotion’ is the way Wayne describes his paintings.
Wayne is a self-taught artist, based in Malvern in Worcestershire, England, and working mainly in oils. He was born and raised in Margate/Thanet on the Kent coast, a favourite location for JMW Turner who once remarked to John Ruskin ‘the skies over Thanet are the loveliest in all Europe’. He has an instinctive, gestural approach to painting, using texture as a base to create living, breathing ‘mindscapes’. His inspiration comes from nature and the elements, blending these two things to produce an emotional synergy, evoking a sense of contemplation, discovery and ultimately hope. Above all, light is the key to all his paintings.
He also plays bass and guitar, having played bass professionally for many years before taking up painting at a relatively late age.

YUAN-WEN WANG
Yuan-Wen is a Taiwanese artist based in Barcelona since 2008. Her abstract paintings are a unique expression of her Asian heritage and the diverse cultural influences she has encountered throughout her journey. For Yuan-Wen, painting is an intimate record of her emotions and inner experiences, inspired by landscapes, dance, the universe, and the world around her.
Her work explores the dynamic interplay of contrasts—strength and softness, fullness and emptiness—creating a mesmerizing balance that invites deep reflection. Through her art, she seeks to establish a meaningful connection with the viewer, offering a visual language that transcends cultural boundaries.
