Chantal Elisabeth Ariëns
The inspiration for Chantal’s projects stems from a need for craftsmanship and works from the subconsciousness, a state of emptiness. These images arise by giving space to emotion and exploring where the connection lies between emotion and memory. Emotions and memories stored in the subconsciousness.
With the Photopolymer Etching technic she goes back to basics. The process of the old technic is intensive, but produces prints with depth.
Dienie Brouwer

Dienie is inspired by the works of classical painters, in particular the way in which they work with light and shadows, and depict bodies.
