Over the years Aida realized that much of the inspiration for her pieces came from the randomness of her day-to-day life in Addis Ababa. She was obsessed with capturing as many moments as possible and found motivation from the light, the people, the streets, and all that she encountered. The foundation of her visual language stems from her experiences as a photojournalist. She uses this form because it offers her a visual language to express her thoughts, emotions, and experiences.  She also draws inspiration from poetry to create her wonderful challenging works. www.aidamuluneh.com

Vincent Beaurin creates a fusion of erosion and elegance in his highly identifiable, yet unclassifiable art pieces that combine abstraction and figuration. Year after year, he creates timeless, elegant pieces. He works alone, does not belong to any group and does not conform to any passing fad. Each of Beaurin’s works and exhibitions is a journey in which space is thought of and experienced as a landscape. Colour, the intimate relationship between light and shade, feeds his work more and more, bringing it closer to the plenitude and peace to which Beaurin, aspires and which his artworks already provide. vincentbeaurin.com
