CRISTIAN MIHAIL COSERAN
International tattoo artist and professor in the tattoo arts. Also innovator and creator of a new unique art movement on canvas ! For the first time in history of art! The peace of the soul is my piece of art. Unique and irreproducible for the first time in history, being the father of a new art movement! Quantum vibes, proper denomination. The work was first reproduced on the skin, over 10 hours, with professional high quality ink. The second part of the process includes the fabric that I applied to the tattooed part of the skin with personal and unique methods developed by me: the fabric being 100% cotton and pure white, it was only touched at that stage without altering its its purity.
The final step involved removing the fabric after 12 hours, resulting in a unique artwork. The pure white fabric transformed into an unreproducible masterpiece through a process transferring the art from leather to fabric, reflecting my artistic vision. Solely utilizing ink and DNA, this transformation birthed an unparalleled work of art, forever distinguished by its DNA imprint.
Certification can be conducted in a scientific lab, affirming its authenticity and origin. This innovation, dubbed “Quantum Vibes,” allows both famous and ordinary individuals to immortalize a part of themselves (DNA) in art, leaving an eternal mark.

IMMA MERINO
I have always had the need to connect with people, (humans) but I have to admit that I am not very good at it. I am like a freshwater fish in a salty sea. That’s why my few friends usually call me “abstract” (I love this way to define me). People matter, you and your people matter to me. I care about your happiness and everything you need.
I like to think I contribute to your happiness and the ones you love by creating some paintings and drawings that can take you to my perfect world, where you can rest and attain the utmost fullness. My hideaway, my art. I can’t remember when I first started drawing and coloring, I just remember doing it. What I recall is that when I drew, when I painted, the world became silent. The noise disappeared. There was only me and my world. When I was painting the world was quiet, and it still hasn’t changed today.
Peace, relaxation, tranquillity, love, beauty, silence, an oasis created for you, that is the essence of my works. You dare?
DEENAGH MILLER
“Born in 1952 into a family of different religions and cultures who survived tragedy and conflict, gave her a rich life experience from which to draw when evolving as a practising artist. Deenagh’s art reveals an understanding of how images affect our emotions, state of mind and mood.
A major component of this is how she incorporates art of the past into her own. At 6 she wanted to be an artist, but did not go to art school, instead studied history of art, graphic design and illustration, and at 30 in 1982 she became one, in an outpouring of work characterised by different subjects and styles.”

DANIEL ORSON YBARRA
My work is rooted in the active observation of nature, serving as a form of sensitive reflection and a way to engage with daily life. Painting, for me, is not just a practice but a way of life, delving into internal and external worlds. I approach my work with a sincere, socially engaged perspective, focusing on pressing environmental issues and taking stances on important social, cultural, and political matters.
I base my artistic process on three fundamental ideas: science, art, and revelation. These methods create a balanced approach to knowledge construction. Jorge Wagensberg, a physicist, emphasized the uniqueness of science and art in understanding and sensing, respectively.
He noted that while knowledge is a transmissible and finite product, art distorts reality to expand experience, creating a finite piece of reality that congeals a thought.
