THE ARTIST

Rk Granna Jalisciense is a self-taught artist, born on January 21st, 1975, in the Rivera de Chapala. His story, as that of many artists, has been the search for his creative side. At the young age of 5, he had his first experience with art, turning the walls of his parents’ room into multicolored murals. From a very early age (5 years old), he had a restlessness for drawing. A pencil and notebook from his early school years were his first artistic materials.

Although he is self-taught, he has studied the great geniuses of universal art in order to evolve his technique. The skill, the mastery of drawing, the composition of the infinite imagination, all help with his perpetual fantasy. Painter, draftsman and muralist.

“I PULL AWAY TIME FROM ITS STRUCTURE AND THEN

TIME APPEARS TO BE JUST A DEFINITION.”

Mariska Karto is a photo artist/ digital artist. She is based in the Netherlands and from original, Surinam (South-America), Indonesia (Asia) and Dutch (Europe).

I create and combine elements of historical and contemporary times in my work. I use the body to express as well as my love for fabrics and textiles to create a sensitive or persuasive atmosphere in my work.

This is reflected in mystique, heavenly, dark and dreamy creations mixed with my own contemporary influences in my life. 

Without history there is no present, without present there is no future, no dreams, no memories not something to “go” for.
