Ameliana Sofia sharmaine božanić
Ameliana is a neurodiverse Indigenous artist exploring genres from dot painting to psychedelia. She’s pushing creative boundaries, pursuing a tattoo apprenticeship, and creating boldly beyond her comfort zone.
Bianca is an artist and model who works mainly in oils, using classical techniques and a limited palette to focus her color mixing. Her practice is grounded in a deep interest in art history and traditional methods.
Bravo Domino is an expressionist and abstract artist from Sydney, of Filipino and Irish descent. Having been a hobbyist painter throughout her life, Bravo began painting full time two years ago, after stepping away from a career in music festivals and concert touring. Bravo is strongly influenced by street art, contemporary abstract landscapes, and neo-expressionism. She works primarily with acrylic, pastel and markers, dissecting surface and space with line work and a strong sense of color.
I am a self taught airbrush artist and a tattoo artist , my art journey started at an early age when when I was graffiting and the rest developed from there over the years.
Daniel is a Sydney-based artist blending traditional realism with abstract expression. His style merges classical techniques with spontaneity, shaped by studies in China and travels through Europe. Practicing since childhood, he now teaches a weekly sketching class and works across sketching, painting, and digital art.
Jamie Torpey was inspired early on by her grandfather, a professional artist whose dedication and passion shaped her love for art. Her own journey began at 14 with a neighbor’s request for a pet portrait, which helped her develop skills in shading and perspective. A pivotal leap came with her first mural in Sydney; since then, her large-scale work and paintings have appeared worldwide. Her art explores the strength of women in chaos, finding beauty in the mess.
Kathryn Dixon
Kathryn is known in the art world as a life model, but now she’s stepping off the podium and back into painting. After five years of classical training dulled her creative spark, she’s returning to art after a 15-year break—rediscovering oil painting with a growing passion, especially for landscapes and flowers.
Laura Reis, 25, has been painting at Art Battle since she was 17. Her work focuses on black-and-white figurative urban portraits, especially of women, capturing strength, emotion, and personal expression. Exploring multiple surfaces — from paper to murals, Laura channels her passion for art into every piece, celebrating the raw power and experience it brings.
Mark Naismith-Beeley is a Scottish–Australian artist exploring the connection between people and place. Having made his home in Australia, his paintings grow from personal experiences of landscape — moments where memory, emotion, community, and history overlap. Each work serves as a way of grounding himself in this place while tracing the layers of belonging that connect past and present.
Jinberrie is a storyboard artist by trade and a live painter by obsession. She likes to draw gothic/kawaii style art, experimenting with Japanese-style cute and edgy aesthetics to draw moody girls and painted with ink, watercolor, acrylic paint and posca pens. She can be spotted in small dark bars and secret warehouses that play live music, inspired by the mood and capturing the atmosphere around her in real time.
Tim is a comic creator, cartoonist, and artist based in Sydney, Australia. Influenced by horror films, heavy music, and Saturday morning cartoons, his work spans comics, painting, sculpture, film, animation, and music. All of it feeds into his gothic storytelling project Morbid Sheep. Tim is also a co-organizer of Scamp, a yearly Sydney comic convention held in November.
