I’m a “serious” painter and a playful graphic artist. My style can be loosely defined as “New Surrealist” with a focus on mythology and the retelling of classic tales.

After studying architecture and classical art in Novosibirsk, I worked as an interior architect for the better part of a decade. But, luckily enough, I became a full-time artist back in 2021.

Recently, I’ve exhibited around Europe (Italy, UK, Netherlands), and worked on several big paintings inspired by the Last Judgement.

And although my story topics might often be a bit dark and gloomy; I always try to imbue my work with hope and openness. So that every person is free to interpret my work however they want, yet behind it, is always a clear narrative structure - and (hopefully) a figuratively strong hand.

As a young emerging visual artist from Amsterdam, I am moved by emotional perception, sexuality, religious passion, and the absence thereof.
A recurring theme in my art, and a philosophy I have internalised, is the meandering relationship between Spectator and Spectacle.
Each piece reflects the persistent battle of perceiving and being perceived, as well as the collapse of self-perception or rather, its impossibility in the presence of a fractured and ever-fleeing sense of self permanence. This is reflected in bold colors and eccentric symbolism, which creates a language of its own.

My art focusses on a fusion of the imagination and real life. The whimsey some people see; And some don't. A flow of nature, with a touch of the unreal. Psychological concepts, put into perspective. Raw feeling on a canvas. With my passion for the creative world I enjoy making murals, and decorating psytrance parties with 3D structures. Look further than the eye reaches, use your senses.

Guylaine created her first abstract painting using palette knives at the age of six. In 2019, she began painting actively. Since then, she has been selling her work both nationally and internationally and has exhibited her work at various locations in the Netherlands. Guylaine draws her inspiration from nature, fashion, music or things she encounters in everyday life. Guylaine’s paintings are recognizable by their bright and contrasting use of color. She paints purely by feeling and often without a plan in advance. This gives her work a personal and expressive character.

Guylaine is participating in Art Battle Amsterdam for the second time. She is very happy to return to this stage and entertain the audience with her art.

Joanna’s 3D Art style embellishes the transformation of all that surrounds us and inspires into an imaginary magical vision of the reality. She wants to protect and preserve the beauty of this world for the future generations.
For her the art is like medicine allowing to fight daily pain and disabilities. To express her feelings, she combines 3D structures embedded in canvas with vibrant, deep colours and dynamic lighting.
Joanna was born 1978 in Poland, and she is a permanent resident of the Netherlands. She is a self-taught artist that has been dedicated to the art of painting since an early age. Her early art journey was fascination with aquarelle pencils by applying multiple layers of colour to create a 3D effect. Despite achieving good results, she was never truly satisfied with the richness of colours and insufficient depth of 3D effect. Her style dramatically evolved once she shifted to acrylics and sculpturing on canvas.
Inspired by 3D Renaissance and old Dutch masters paintings she embraces her own 3D style by building an underlaying sculpture that is completely painted and often embellished with light reflecting materials. The mixed media abstract paintings capture the enhanced beauty of nature, and space.
Joanna’s art was exhibited globally during art fairs in Barcelona (1 time), Monaco (2 times), and Miami (2 times). It was shown at art galleries in Miami (2 times), Madrid (4 times), Berlin (1 time), Vienna (2 times), and Amsterdam (1 time). It was presented digitally in NYC at Times Square, and it was published by the British Vogue (3 issues) and Tatler (1 time) magazines.

I am Laura Boudesteijn, a visual artist based in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. Since graduating from the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) in 2014, I have specialized in portraiture, working in a contemporary and expressive style.

At the heart of my work lies the human figure not only its physical form, but also the emotional presence beneath the surface. My portraits capture deeply personal atmospheres, often rooted in memory or meaningful moments. This gives my work an intimate and recognizable quality that resonates with my audience.

Over the past few years, my practice has grown steadily, partly through sharing my evolving work on social media. I now work from my own studio on a variety of commissions, while continuing to develop a more personal visual language that embraces experimentation, spontaneity, and contrast.

My style can be described as modern and intuitive, allowing chance to play a role in the creative process. I enjoy exploring diverse techniques and letting the medium guide me. One of my major sources of inspiration is South African artist Marlene Dumas, whose emotionally charged work continues to influence my artistic path.

I'm a full time computer science student who absolutely adores creating art and expressing herself creatively. I'm currently training to be a tattoo artist and I also dabble in fashion on the side. Art has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember, I couldn't be the person I am today without it.

Marianna Lupej is a painter and tattoo artist whose practice focuses on emotionality, spirituality, and archetypes in psychology. Her work explores how personality function as sites of contemplation and emotional expression, examining the relationship between material form and inner experience. Working across painting, digital art and tattooing, she is interested in embodiment, perception, and the ways visual language can articulate subtle psychological and spiritual states. Lupej’s practice reflects a sustained inquiry into presence, affect, and the expressive potential of images.

Maya is a 23‑year‑old artist who moved to the Netherlands from outside Europe. Art has always been the thing that kept her going, even when life was heavy. After years of holding back, she’s finally creating the way she wants to—bold, honest, and without apology. She’s not slowing down now and is ready to show the world what she can do.

Polina was born in Moscow and graduated from the Surikov Institute of Fine Arts. She’s been based in Rotterdam since 2023. Her work explores how people today relate to nature, using layered classical painting and Baroque influences to connect past and present. She often draws on Western and Slavic mythology to explore where culture, history, and nature meet.

"crazy, creative, confronting, confusing, confounding, bright, brilliant, breath taking"

I paint in water, acrylic or crayons. Mostly as a hobby. Have a vivid style which portrays slices of life, cities, culture and people. Have won several on-the-spot contests during my younger years at school or inter-collegiate contests also at national level in India
