Amanda Rheeders
I’m Amanda Rheeders, a South African born artist, living and working in Luxembourg.I am lucky enough to live near the Moselle River, and I’m surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty that inspires a lot of the art that I create. My work is a celebration of nature’s resilience, elegance, and quiet magic. Through florals, wildlife, and ethereal elements, I aim to capture the wonder that the natural world brings into our lives. If I achieve anything through my art, I would like to invoke a sense of joy and a feeling of magic for the viewer. Every piece immortalizes the beauty that surrounds us and creates an opportunity to bring nature into the home or any environment.
David Zeker
Autodidact artist, 17+ years of experience, Roots in Graffiti and street art, abstract with realism elements. Murals, Canvas, Drawings.
Enmanuel Heredia
Dominican born, Aruban raised artist, based in Amsterdam. In my work, I explore Caribeaness, drawing from my memories and experiences in the two islands. I often do so through the genre of anime and mangas.
Once I moved to Amsterdam, I was drawn to fashion as a potential medium towards sustainability. Since my fashion school days, I’ve sought to repurpose and give new life to textiles and garments--for me tools of artistic expression.
Above all else, I love telling stories, and so I maintain an experimental approach, working with different mediums, genres and styles.

“From a young age, I have always been creative. Drawing has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember.
In 2018, I started drawing eyes, inspired by Hans Ruigrok, who at the time owned Jazz Café ’t Geveltje. After work, I loved sitting there at the bar, drawing on beer coasters. Back then, I used to draw flowers.
One day he asked me, ‘Why don’t you draw eyes?’
My first response was, ‘Do you know how difficult that is?’
But he told me, ‘You can do it — you’re always drawing for hours with focus and concentration.’
That moment stayed with me. I started teaching myself by watching videos on YouTube and practicing a lot. I also spent time drawing at my friends’ place, Antiek Tattoo.
Over time, I developed my own style, and now I create quite realistic eyes in a way that feels true to me.
As a painter, I express myself differently — more abstract, playful, and full of color. I love working with bold strokes and vibrant tones. Purple, turquoise, and pink are my favorite colors.
For me, art is about feeling, freedom, and expression.”

Rae Galloway
Self-taught artist who turned to art after leaving the healthcare field where I trained to be a physician. First picked up a palette of watercolor paint in July 2022 and have since expanded into acrylics, soft pastels, oils, and encaustic paints. I love using bright bold colors and exploring expressive and abstract forms alongside realism. I also have synesthesia and can taste colors that I look at. I recently moved to the Netherlands from Oregon and had the pleasure of participating in ArtBattle in Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington.
I take a scientific approach to understanding pigments, paints, and materials. I have been teaching watercolor, painting, and color theory since I was only 10 months into my art journey, had my first solo gallery show 2.5 years after starting, and I love sharing paints, tips, and tricks. In fact, because I share paint samples via syringes in the mail, I've earned the moniker Watercolor Drug Lord. Although I always enjoy exploring various media, my favorites are watercolor and encaustic - Fire and Ice. Because are you even an artist unless you're using a blowtorch?

Sofia Shilova
Mijn naam is Sofia Shilova, ik ben een kunstenaar uit Oekraïne en woon momenteel in Eindhoven.
Ik ben al sinds mijn kindertijd met kunst bezig en heb een weg afgelegd van de kunstschool naar een opleiding in grafisch ontwerp en beeldende kunst. Maar mijn artistieke identiteit is vooral gevormd door persoonlijke ervaringen — mijn verhuizing naar Nederland vanwege de oorlog en het zoeken naar mezelf in een nieuwe realiteit.
Ik werk in de stijl van het expressionisme en onderzoek het thema emoties. Voor mij is het belangrijk om niet alleen te tekenen, maar innerlijke gevoelens over te brengen — spanning, angst, kracht en kwetsbaarheid.
Ik haal inspiratie uit mensen, hun ervaringen en de contrasten van het leven. De laatste tijd werk ik ook met performance, waarbij ik schilderkunst combineer met beweging en geluid.
Voor mij is kunst een manier om de realiteit te verwerken en te begrijpen, en dit met anderen te delen.
