GISSELE BAUTISTA, PHILIPPINES
Gissele Bautista is an artist, creative director, and designer based in Manila, Philippines. She grew up as an art hobbyist then pursued her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Santo Tomas. She worked as a creative in the advertising industry for 15 years while pursuing her many passion projects on the side - painting, block printmaking, and being involved in art exhibitions. In 2020, she decided to focus more on her art.
Finding beauty in which others often overlook, is what she chooses to create. Her paintings are a result of years of countless style experimentations and her constant effort to differentiate herself from her peers.
Working mostly using acrylic paints, her subjects are usually women, women characters, their thoughts, feelings, and the scenarios they’re going through. She combines them with florals that branch out as her subjects open up and bloom. Details are meticulously painted with iridescent paints that give off colors and added dimensions when illuminated.

NAGIA SIOULI, GREECE
Naglia Souli is based in Athens and she is currently studying at the School of Fine Arts
( department of Fine Arts and Science of Arts ) of the University of Ioannina.
Her main direction of creativity is Sound Art and Interactive Installations. Painting was
always for her the main form subject of which contains the terms of perspective which
are, of every aspect, the first risk to visualize her idea.
Her work “Untitled’ is a study based on her philosophical research about the position of
woman’s essence in a room of empty chairs which in a way can visualize the female
sexual interaction in the complexity of positions of power.
The work depicts the idea of Goya according to the work of “Atropos” that was created
during the Period of Black Paintings (1819 - 1823). The processing of the work “After”
is based on the original nature of the idea of the bound man in front of the three
degrees: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos (from left to right) in a modern direction of the
individual’s personal commitment to the reality of social moral standards and the
discomfort of racial identity.
