Clara is a multi-disciplinary artist currently fully devoted to oil painting and is continuously learning the craft. She's currently exploring the craft of Claude Monet through mastercopies, a small series of French pastries, while also developing original art which combines feminine portraits and their skeletons.

Dominic is an introspective artist and philosopher who began their journey at a young age, creating portraits that capture the essence of life. Influenced by personal experiences, including their father's battle with schizophrenia and the complexities of family dynamics, he has always sought to explore profound questions about reality, identity, and the meaning of existence. After years of soul searching and travel, Dom took a bold step, selling everything to embrace a simpler life as a recluse in a cottage in the forest. During this time he focused on art, self discipline and the obscure world of relationship. Now, as a tattoo artist and painter, Dominic specializes in portraits of both animals and humans, using their art to convey messages that transcend words.
