Lourdes Navarro (b.1984, Bogota, Colombia). She currently lives and works in Bogota, Colombia.
Lourdes Navarro uses the forms of abstract and figurative painting to rewrite worlds. Her visual language blends Andean landscapes, lived experiences, and oneiric transfigurations. She works in an abstract and figurative expressionist style to create a visual dream journal filled with ephemeral figures, symbols, and illogical narratives. She uses her coded visual lexicon to explore emotions and thoughts that are manifested through the different ways of doing things.

Tobba, born in Iceland in 1975, currently lives and works in Iceland. In 2023, he became an agent artist of Winners Gallery.
Tobba is a sculptor and painter from Iceland. Her sculptures are inspired by the legendary stories of her Viking ancestors, while her paintings depict social issues and her childhood experiences. They represent sadness, anxiety, loneliness, or violence, and also tell stories of people around her. She works with various materials, including oil paint, wire, clay, rocks, concrete, and fabric, and always explores more possibilities in her material choices.

Elínborg Jóhannesdóttir Ostermann was born in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1954 and currently lives and works in Vienna.
After obtaining her Ph.D., Elínborg entered the pharmaceutical industry, researching new genes related to disease and exploring antibody drugs for cancer treatment. Meanwhile, the pursuit of science has always been accompanied by artistic exploration, Elínborg became captivated by the magic of watercolors, where painting with them felt like dealing with unpredictable outcomes. The freedom of watercolours has influenced her acrylic and mixed media work. Elínborg enjoys traveling, and her experiences on the road have given her a lot of inspiration. Her works feature Iceland's mountains, waters, and fascinating light.

Fía Yang was born in Hunan, China in 1988, and currently lives and works in Iceland.
Fía Yang is a multidisciplinary artist who resides in Iceland, drawing profound inspiration from the island's untamed landscapes.
Fía's art is an exploration of self-discovery, confronting fears, and embracing liberation, forging an intimate connection with viewers on a personal level. She seamlessly blends the bold strokes of traditional Chinese calligraphy with her instinctual movements, guided by an intimate connection to her physical presence. This improvisational method allows her to liberate her mind and body, accessing the internal currents of creativity. While painting remains her primary medium, she explores diverse artistic outlets, including filmmaking, performance, and music, enriching her artistic expression. For Fía, creating is more than a pursuit—it's a way of life. Embodying the mantra "I live to create," she believes that true fulfilment is found in embracing life itself, transcending the constraints of certainty.
Over the past year, Fía has actively participated in group exhibitions across the UK, Iceland, and the US. Notably, she engaged in the BAAR art residency program in Berlin. Her work is featured in the BITHOUSE Projects Collection and held by private collectors in Europe and Asia.

Kristinn Már Pálmason was born in Keflavik, Iceland, in 1967 and currently lives and works in Iceland.
Kristinn Már Pálmason is a contemporary artist. Kristin's artwork begins above our known material world, but instead creates a law that carefully symbolizes the artist's mental world in visual geometry, which is at the same time the way to a kind of spiritual liberation, where the lack in the visual material is created consciously. The artist knows that the "program" or visual world he seeks to display is fragmentary and unfinished.

Anya Ying was born in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, China in 1986. She currently lives and works in Shanghai.
Ying Jingjing is a young artist of the pop culture era, and her works also reflect the characteristics of popular culture: they are distinctive, independent, and emphasize sensory impact and emotional expression. Her works always focus on the expression and application of sharp crystal structures and facets, either presenting a strong and striking subject in the form of a complete crystal column, or using more abstract facets to outline the composition. In contrast to the sharp, hard, and pure crystals in the paintings, there are also ink techniques characterized by chaos, softness, and smudging. In terms of color, the pure nature of the crystals in her works often radiates a beam of light seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul.
Ying Jingjing's artistic forms are diverse, including painting, sculpture, installation, and multimedia. Her artworks are dedicated to exploring grand themes such as life, complex human nature, and the relationship between nature and the universe.

Anjin Dang was born in Dalian, Liaoning, China in 2001. He currently lives and works in Beijing and Hong Kong, China.
Reconstructing the fuzzy boundaries of life forms and wandering in gray areas is the source of inspiration for Anjin Dang's creation. Anjin Dang uses subconscious lines as the main thread through lifelike bodies to reproduce the mysterious form of irregular movement. By creating a balance between emotionless mechanical beings and those with human traces, an unfamiliar yet sympathetic sound is constructed in the picture. Anjin Dang believes that the combination of tiles with a sense of regularity, order, and fetishism, and the ignorance of boundaries, the unknowable beings, will have an extremely joyful node - breaking through boundaries.
