Skin on my Skin
I like things that confuse me, incite new thoughts and feelings, or make me question myself or the world and that is the premise of most things I do in life. I just love new experiences, and I try to make anything I create a unique experience for whoever may see or hear it.” - KAVARI |

More about him

Rafael Bernal Coates’ work focuses on experience and perception, extending from the individual to the universal. “Experior, ergo sum”
NOW HERE. NOWHERE. - Ram Dass |
When you create art; you are manifesting experience. Therefore experience is art, perception is art. Through it, I dissect and comprehend the dichotomies of the conflicted human soul and move beyond into a cosmic understanding. I intend for my art to act as an experiential and existential activator - to awaken the viewer to the vastness of their present reality. I strive to capture the liminality of the everyday. Those moments that are forever suspended between a “before” and “after” - elliptical, mystical and infinite. Moments that never really resolve themselves, capturing both the finite and the infinite, both somethingness and nothingness simultaneously. In search of the balance between Rationalism and Empiricism, between understanding metaphysical concepts and allowing biological existence, a balance between analogous experience and intuitive perception. It is a journey of self-discovery, exploration and dissolution of the Ego; through art, I expose my true self. It is a lifestyle; a way of unlocking our full potential, and a language for transmitting higher understanding. Good art should momentarily dissolve culture, dissolve boundaries and act as a window into the transcendental. Ultimately to perceive simply the cruel radiance of what is.” – Rafael Bernal Coates

“I try to grow new roots in the land I call foreign”
charcoal on paper, 1.2 x 1.2m [About Charcoal] Its immediacy and mark-making allow me to visualize my imagination and construct works informed by reality. There is a connection between reality and metaphor in my works as I am often staging or adding to, already existing situations to create something based on both realism and symbolism.” – Zuzanna Salamon |
More about her
Born in Poland, Zuzanna Salamon, graduated from the High School of Fine Art in Katowice, and is now studying Painting at Gray’s School of Art in Robert Gordon University. As the traditional Art education she received from workshops in Poland, Scotland, and Prague included a lot of life drawing, it became a base for her current Art practice.
The large focus of her current works is depicting trees that have been transplanted and how it symbolises her own dislocation from home, traveling across Europe and living elsewhere. Based on her own experience, through works, she explore an individual connection to home and culture, but also how distant it can become depends on the circumstances. Charcoal currently is her primary medium, which she uses to build up large-scale drawings.

Cara Barbour
|
Cara Barbour is a Film and Television student at the North East Scotland College. She has always found that the image on the screen has the ability to connect with the viewer the most. Lavish landscapes, vibrant colours and smart composition can all help to create a stunning image, but it takes a creative eye to take that and turn it into magic. This ability to create beautiful pieces of cinema is what inspired her to become a cinematographer.
