Not all art is created equally, but Tipperleyhill’s very much is. Roz and Abi, both work on each piece simultaneously. As best friends and artists, they play to each other’s strengths: Abi’s superpower for drawing and composition and Roz’s love of colour, pattern, and mark-making. It’s a relationship based on trust, a lot of fun, and a shared belief that art should - and can - be for everyone.

In their studio, there’s no space to take themselves too seriously. The happy energy as they work is reflected in their paintings' bold patterns and bright colours, drawing inspiration from the things they love; flowers, nature and animals.

Agnes has been creating and expressing herself through art since childhood. However, it was only later in her adult life, after completing her studies in Art History at the University of Warsaw, that she decided to return to painting. At that time, she began working primarily with watercolours, with portraiture becoming her main artistic focus.
After several years, she expanded her practice to include abstract painting. Her abstract works were exhibited at D31 gallery in Doncaster (2022) and at the O2 Shop London – Hampstead (2023).
More recently, Agnes has taken part in the Re:Create Richmond programme (2025/2026) and the Spring Exhibition TAC in Teddington (2026).

Agnieszka Handzel Kordaczka
Born in Przemyśl, she graduated from the Stanisław Wyspiański High School of Fine Arts in Jarosław and later from the Institute of Art at the University of Silesia in Cieszyn.

She paints and draws what her eyes catch in everyday life — plus the occasional things that prefer to stay invisible to the naked eye.

Her work has been exhibited in the East and the West, across Europe and beyond, and she never gets bored of meeting her audience (and hopefully, they don’t get bored either).

Agnieszka is a contemporary artist based in London. Her artistic journey began later in life after years of working in the technology sector. She has been longlisted for The Women in Art Emerging Artist Prize 2024 and the Visual Art Open 2024 Emerging Artist Award. Most recently, her painting was selected for the poster and catalogue cover for the Friends 2025 Exhibition at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.

Agnieszka Matrasis an artist living and working in London over the twenty years
now.
She consider herself as self-taught artist and works mainlywith oils and acrylics. Using a limited pallet and traditional approache to oil paint she tries to convey the beauty of nature and magic of colour
on canvas. She pays attention to the light and it’s impact on subjects. Experimeting with colour she captures accurately the mood and atmosphere of the scenes in her art. She gets inspired by beauty of skies and landscapes as well as seascapes and still life and animals. She does not limit her self to any particular subject and will get a brush any time her eyes meet with a view she can’t resist to rewrite on canvas.

Alda Rebelo Muchao is a custom Jewellery designer based in Portugal and the UK.
After 30 years in the travel and hospitality industry where she travelled the world, she became inspired by the colours of different cultures and that refelcts on the different materials, like natural stones, recycled glass, ceramic and stainless steel.

Her work has appeared in many editorials. She has shown her designs at Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam and is currently working with a number of fashion creatives.
When asked what she wanted to achieve through her jewellery she said, “I want to share my experiences of meeting different people from around the world and the joy that brought me”.
ALDA’S DESIGNS ARE A CELEBRATION OF LIFE.

Andrzej Pacak is one of the most accomplished jewellery artists from Poland. His very bold, sculptural pieces combine silver or gold with semi-precious and amber stones, creating wearable works of art that balance technical mastery with sensitivity. Graduated as a veterinary surgeon, he started his artistic education in 1970 in Warsaw, at the studio of a well-known sculptor Miroslawa Miller. Since 1991 he has lived and worked in London, where he co-founded MAGAN Gallery. Over more than four decades, his jewellery has been presented in exhibitions and shows across the UK, Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Russia and Lithuania, as well as in other countries, gaining recognition for its originality and craftsmanship.

Growing up in a household of make and mend, always drawing, making and growing things, Angela went on to study ceramics and then glass in UK, USA and former Czechoslovakia.
Exhibiting internationally, writing, teaching and continuously researching and experimenting Angela has become well known and her work is in museum and private collections across three continents.
Ideas and starting points for artworks arrive from everyday things and experiences, very often from nature, quirky, sometimes humorous sometimes deep.
Based in Croydon Angela works and teaches from her garden studio.

Born in Katowice, in Poland, Ania displayed a talent for art in early childhood. From the age of 10, she began to attend additional art classes and received tutoring from a number of well-established Polish artists. At 13, she received her first oil paints from her father, and has worked in the medium for over 30 years now. She studied at Silesia University in Cieszyn, Poland, and obtained her art diploma in 2003 in the studio of Tadeusz Rus.
Ania works mainly on canvas in oil and likes to experiment with colours and shapes often creating the pictures from her imagination. Since moving to London in 2005, Ania’s paintings have been exhibited in numerous solo and joint exhibitions. Her work is on display with multiple galleries throughout the UK, and can be found in the homes of collectors across the country. She had a great pleasure to exhibit with Society of Women Artists at the Mall Galleries in London and with Chelsea Art Society at Chelsea Old Town Hall and she is frequently represented at Affordable Art Fair and Fresh Art Fair.

Anna Chiampesan is an Italian‑born figurative artist whose work explores the emotional and symbolic depth of the human body. Her paintings portray the body as a vessel of movement, memory, and inner life—radiant, vulnerable, and endlessly expressive. Working with oil colours, encaustic, and gold leaf, she blends realism and abstraction to create figures that shift between clarity and mystery.

Her textured surfaces, prepared in the traditional Tuscan manner, introduce a sense of motion and transformation. Quick yet deliberate brushstrokes evoke presences that are never static: bodies caught in transition, shaped by melancholy, resilience, longing, and quiet contemplation. Bluish and amber shadows wrap her subjects in an atmosphere that feels dreamlike yet grounded in human truth.

Alongside her fine‑art practice, Chiampesan has developed a parallel career in web and graphic design, guided by the same belief that visual creation shapes emotion and connection. Her work remains a celebration of the human experience—its strength, introspection, and the poetic beauty found in every gesture and form.

Ania Ruszkowski is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores identity, migration, and the emotional landscapes shaped by living between cultures. Originally trained as a painter, her practice has expanded across disciplines while remaining grounded in painterly thinking and processes. Drawing on her Anglo-Polish heritage, her work examines how memory, domestic space, and inherited narratives inform a sense of belonging, often occupying the liminal space between familiarity and displacement.

Her practice is grounded in an ongoing dialogue between lived experience and experimental making across media, using visual language to question how identity is constructed, remembered, and performed.

Arek Wolski is a Warsaw-based designer and jeweller. He creates jewellery using gold, silver and brass, as well as volcanic lava, sea glass and recycled materials. He won a prestigious award at the Innovations competition during the Inhorgenta Europe Trade Fair in Munich.

Although jewellery was his first passion, he now also designs larger pieces, including sculptures, lamps and furniture.

Without a pre-planned composition nor a selected colour palette, the subconscious freely guides the paintbrush". His education and years of experience in painting naturally influence the final effect, giving the works a distinctive style.

Since the beginning of his artistic path, a recurring theme has been Bartek's use of faces. This theme originated during his studies while working on self-portraits, and reproducing expressive faces, of anger, pain and hurt. He draws inspiration from, among others: the work of Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso and Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz.

Boxio’s work centres on revealing her world as she sees it – through her eyes, her lens, and the technologies she engages with. She uses art as a means of expressing what resists explanation, what remains unresolved, or what cannot simply be left behind. At times, however, her intention is more straightforward: to share her perspective on the everyday and offer her own interpretation of the seemingly mundane.

The first spark of creativity comes from the artist. It is a great honour for an artist to show their work. He runs a working art gallery and studio in Margate, which brings him great joy as he inspires and encourages others on their own artistic journeys. He works in a surrealist style and allows his artwork to speak for itself. One of the paintings he will exhibit is titled The Curtain Call of an Artist. As an artist, he now feels it is time for his work to come down the stairs and be seen.

Doina's art captures the fleeting essence of the present moment through sumptuous brushstrokes and the rich, textured layering of oil paints. Her work evokes a timeless dialogue, reminiscent of the Old Masters, yet firmly anchored in contemporary aesthetics. She masterfully portrays the illusion of movement, extracting the sublime from her subjects and offering viewers a portal through which to experience the transient beauty of time and space.

Dedicated to producing artworks that soothe and inspire, Doina's compositions are imbued with balance and harmony, offering a respite from the anxieties of modern life. Her continual experimentation with new techniques reflects a dynamic process of invention and mastery, always pushing the boundaries of her creative expression.

Since her debut at the Salon des Refusés in 2017, Doina's career has flourished with exhibitions in prestigious museums and international venues. Her works are treasured in private collections and prominent institutions across Bucharest, Galati, Targu Mures, Brasov, Cluj, London, Paris, New York, Houston Texas and Zurich.

Heather Weston is an abstract painter originally for Leeds, and currently living in London.

Although a relative newcomer to painting, she has widely exhibited as a book artist, having gained an MA for Camberwell College of Arts. Prior to that, she studied Social and Political Science from Cambridge University and subsequently worked in the psychiatry and psychotherapy fields for 10 years. This has profoundly influenced the rationale behind her creative output.

She is drawn to abstraction for its ability to speak the unspoken, and connect directly between the unconscious of painter and viewer - the essence of what we all share, feel, fear, know, were, are, without ‘knowing’, what psychoanalytic thinker, Christopher Bollas, called ‘The Unthought Known’.

Her work combines many thin layers through which the previous lives of the paintings can be glimpsed, echoing ideas of conscious and unconscious experience. Her painting deals with the transformation of the internal emotional landscape. She has been influenced by painters including Gerhard Richter, Richard Whadcock, Lex Cyril, Brian Rutenberg and Adam Taylor, among many others.

Ildiko’s interest in ceramics began many years ago in Hungary, where she commenced her studies under the guidance of experienced ceramicists. Years later, after settling in London, she felt drawn once again to the captivating world of clay. Since then, she has been creating her work with dedication and passion, continually refining and expanding her skills.

Her practice explores and reinterprets natural forms, textures, and colours, drawing inspiration from waterside landscapes, their eroded surfaces, and their quiet, rhythmic presence. Both her sculptural works – often totemic in character– and her vessels reflect these organic shapes and richly textured surfaces.

Ildiko is deeply inspired by the creative possibilities that clay offers. She primarily works with stoneware, while her jewellery collections are crafted from porcelain and black clay. Each piece is hand-built, unique, and carries its own individual story.

Irena is a contemporary artist who began painting a few years ago and continues to explore her artistic voice through experimentation with colour, form, and intuition.

Working without a formal art background, she focuses on ordinary moments and subtle emotions, transforming them into visual stories. For Irena, painting is a journey – one where each canvas becomes a fragment of memory and a personal interpretation of shared human experience.

Jana Rychvalska has an architectural and landscape design background and has been a multimedia artist since 2020. Her creative range spans from vibrant, geometrically influenced compositions resembling mother boards or stained glass windows to painting natural themes such as tropical birds, abstract ‘Glow at Night’ neon celestial inspired works, or surrealistic works based on language such as 'Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree' or her series of ‘Raining Cats and Dogs’.

In 2024 she started a ‘House Keys project’, a very much still an ongoing photo documentation of our daily objects which now comprises of over 1145 storytelling compositions.

In 2025, after 30 years living in London, she debuted with her 1st international exhibition ‘PO-LON’ in her homeland Slovakia and also published her 1st children's rhyme book.

Joanna Kotowicz-Buczyńska is a visual artist, jewelry designer, and master goldsmith.
She graduated from the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and from a fine arts high school, specializing in goldsmithing and artistic jewelry, with distinction for her jewelry thesis. She has been associated with the artistic community of Gdańsk and the Tricity area for over twenty years. She has lived and worked in Norway for nine years.

In her work, she combines traditional jewelry techniques with contemporary forms and a painterly sensibility. She creates unique artistic jewelry from precious metals, natural stones, and Baltic amber, giving it organic and symbolic shapes.

Her collections have been presented at design and fashion events, including the AMBERIF trade fair, fashion shows, and exhibitions promoting Polish artistic crafts.
She also initiates artistic projects that support Polish jewelry and amber crafts.

In her creative practice, she focuses on the harmony between art, nature and emotions, treating jewelry as a form of personal expression and applied art.

Joanna is a self-taught artist-at-heart, drawn to moody, expressive work that explores emotion through light, shadow, and organic forms. She paints in between the demands of daily life, often in brief bursts of inspiration, chasing honesty rather than polish. Her process is experimental, layered, and deeply personal – a way of staying connected to herself, to emotion, and to the world around her.

Jolanta Jagiello is a welded metal sculptor, who won ‘Inspired By ...’ at Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) Sculpture Category in 2005, 2008, 2010, and has an Acme Studio in High House Production House where the Royal Opera House Production and Costume workshops are based. As a member of the Association of Polish Artists of Great Britain (APA), Jolanta regularly exhibits at the APA Winter and Summer Annual Exhibitions at the POSK Gallery in Hammersmith.

Jonathan completed his O and A levels in Art with a focus on ceramics. However, he chose to pursue History and Economics at university rather than continuing with ceramics. Life circumstances gradually led him away from his dream of becoming a ceramic sculptor, and it was not until forty years later that he returned to working with clay – an experience Jonathan describes as feeling like “coming home.”

Throughout his practice, Jonathan has gravitated toward techniques that avoid the potter’s wheel, a preference that remains central to his work today. All of his pieces are hand-built. He creates unique forms by blending different clays and often incorporating dry glaze directly into the clay body at the initial stage, sometimes adding further glazes in subsequent firings.

In recent years, his style has continued to evolve, encouraging him to seek new directions and ideas. Over the past year, Jonathan has increasingly worked with porcelain clays, continually testing the material’s limits – often pushing it to the edge of structural failure in the kiln, and occasionally beyond.

He hopes that his pieces engage viewers at least half as much as the process of making them engages and delights him.

Her paintings are a spontaneous expression of colour and movement. She loves working on large canvases that she can move freely, allowing light and vibrancy to emerge. Born in Sheffield, the Steel City, she later moved to London to study at Camberwell Art School, eventually completing a Fine Art degree at Chelsea School of Art. She is especially drawn to the sea lines of Cornwall – their raw beauty at night – and the quiet stillness of East Suffolk. Her anchor is the gift of life itself and the freedom to paint.

Since 2020, Kinga has actively exhibited at art fairs and in independent galleries across the UK, building a growing presence within the contemporary art scene. Her work has attracted collectors drawn to its emotional honesty and tactile quality. In addition to her exhibited pieces, she offers commissioned works, collaborating with clients to create paintings that reflect personal narratives and individual sensibilities. Through her evolving practice, Kinga continues to explore new forms of expression while remaining grounded in her introspective, process-led approach.

I am a London-based contemporary artist working primarily with mixed media. My practice explores themes of becoming, introspection, and emotional movement through layered colour and texture.

My relationship with art began early through drawing and painting, initially as a personal and intuitive form of expression. Over time, this evolved into a more focused abstract practice, allowing me to explore experiences and internal shifts that often resist language.

Working with bold palettes and layered surfaces, I create intuitive compositions that balance energy and openness, inviting quiet reflection and personal interpretation. My process is instinctive and process-led, often shaped by moments of contemplation, uncertainty, and transformation.

My work was recently selected for The Abstract Condition group exhibition at Firepit Gallery in London, marking an important step in presenting my practice within a gallery context. As an emerging artist, I am continuing to develop a body of work that explores abstraction as a space for connection, reflection, and becoming.

Her artistic practice focuses primarily on the female body. She creates small sculptural figurines, while her paintings take the form of abstract compositions inspired by flora. For many years, her work has been guided by the idea of restoring the decorative function of sculpture. She develops intimate, freestanding objects that explore femininity and the evolving ideals of the female form.

Lenka Kubica draws inspiration from representations of women throughout art history – from the Paleolithic Venus of Willendorf, through the paintings of Rubens, to the contemporary Body Positive movement. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Poland and abroad. She lives and works in Wrocław, and her works are held in private collections in Poland and internationally.

Ludmila’s current artistic practice explores the dynamic relationship between urban spaces and the rhythms that shape human experience within them. Through abstract forms and layered compositions, she investigates the pulse of city life – the flow of movement, the tension between order and chaos, and the subtle dialogue between light and shadow.

Working in mixed media, Ludmila often combines bold colours, fragmented shapes, and textured surfaces to convey the essence of urbanity. Her work is distinguished by vibrant colour palettes, geometric structures, and a strong sense of motion that echoes the energy of contemporary cities. The compositions frequently reference architectural rigidity, highlighting the contrasts embedded in urban environments.

She draws inspiration from abstract expressionism and the work of Gerhard Richter. Through her art, Ludmila shares her passion with viewers, hoping her creations bring a reflective sense of urban energy into their space.

Maciej Jędrzejewski (b. 1993, Chełmża, Poland) is a London-based visual artist, curator and writer whose practice spans painting, drawing, abstraction and contemporary curatorial projects. A graduate of the University of Greenwich with a BA (Hons) in Graphic and Digital Design, his work explores subconscious imagery, spirituality, surrealism and emotional storytelling through intuitive mark-making and semi-automated processes. Influenced by Buddhist philosophy, lucid dreaming, Hip-Hop culture and sacred art, his works often balance urban energy with meditative reflection.

Since 2017, Jędrzejewski has been an active member of the Association of Polish Artists in Great Britain and has regularly exhibited at POSK Gallery. Alongside his artistic practice, he contributes satirical illustrations to Tydzien Polski and has curated major contemporary Polish art exhibitions in London, including the APA Winter Exhibition 2025. In 2025, he became Deputy Gallery Manager and curator at POSK Gallery, supporting exhibitions that explore contemporary identity, culture and healing through art.

Maha lives and works in London.
She paints on canvas with oil paints. She loves this medium for the challenges and the malleability it offers. Each painting is crafted over months owing to the layers she uses to finish the effects in the image.
Drawing on an archive of references of collected imagery and backgrounds she works through her compositions to create deeper angles and visually exciting paintings. With figuration at the centre of her work, she uses colour fields to capture and create light and layers of space in her imagery. Found images and her own aesthetic intuition guides her choices when putting the final reference together. She is principally interested in playing with levels of focus and includes viewpoints that invite the viewer to experience the scene, including them as a part of it.

Monika is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily with kiln-fired and hand-painted glass. Her practice explores light, transformation, emotional memory, and the invisible connections between people, energy, and space. Combining fragile materials with symbolic forms, she creates works that shift with their environment, revealing different layers through reflection, transparency, and movement.

I live in Wandsworth and have been painting in oils for 15 years and with oil and cold wax medium since 2020. My intention is to find ‘the beauty in the ordinary’, and to simplify and abstract images with strong colour contrasts, using oil and cold wax medium. Paintings have been exhibited in Logroño, La Rioja 2022/23; included in five Sprout Arts exhibitions 2024/25; the 2024 International Oil and Cold Wax Academy Juried Exhibition, ‘Travel in Colour’, The Last Supper art gallery, Battersea, and the Annual Exhibition of the Society of Women Artists, Mall Galleries, June 2025 and 2026.

Nadiia’s artistic practice centres on revealing the beauty of simple, often overlooked moments that tend to fade into the background of everyday life. She is drawn to the quiet details people frequently underestimate – fleeting expressions, subtle shifts of light, fragments of nature that offer a sense of grounding.

Viewing the world through the prism of personal pain and anxiety caused by the war in her homeland, Nadiia explores art as a means of processing trauma, including the trauma of irreversible loss. Her work reflects a search for balance and stability, uncovering how accessible, ordinary experiences can become sources of resilience. Through oil on canvas as well as pastels and watercolours on paper, she captures the colours of the natural world and the transient emotions of those around her.

Natalia Jona is a painter whose work explores the meeting point between structure, emotion and movement. Her paintings combine layered marks, bold shapes and carefully placed colour accents to create abstract interpretations of the human figure, landscape and visual narratives. Repetition is central to her process, creating rhythm, focus and a sense of quiet intensity.
Her practice is shaped by the idea that every mark carries a decision. Lines, spaces and forms develop gradually, building connections across the surface of the painting. Her time living in Japan has also influenced her work, especially through the concept of ma — the meaningful space between elements. This gives her compositions a balance between control and openness, precision and spontaneity.
Jona’s career includes exhibitions and projects in Tokyo, New York, Warsaw, Milan and Mexico City, as well as participation in international art events including Art Basel Miami, Warsaw Gallery Weekend and Zona Maco. Her paintings invite viewers to reflect on memory, movement, choice and transformation.

In his artistic practice, Pawel primarily focuses on oil painting and drawing, both in content and form drawing inspiration from the tradition of icon art. He seeks to capture and preserve a distinctive sense of spirituality in forms that increasingly lean toward abstraction.

This long-standing series of works began with the landscapes of his native Bieszczady, with small wooden Orthodox churches embedded within them. Subsequent paintings moved into their interiors, touching upon the icon itself – the very heart of the church. Although over the years his works have grown more abstract and gradually shifted from the sacred realm toward everyday reality, something of that original inspiration continues to resonate within them.

Payal Roywest is a London-based self taught, contemporary abstract artist. Oils is her favourite medium but she also works in acrylic, and mixed media. Her practice is defined by expressive, colour-driven compositions that explore the interplay between texture, movement, and emotional resonance. Drawing inspiration from the sky and sea, her work investigates the subtle forces that shape human perception and attraction. Her images evoke both chaos and calm. A meditation of impermanence, form and formlessness.
She has exhibited her artwork in many prestigious London galleries. She received The Women’s Essence Art Award in 2025.

I am a fashion designer, and painter working across fashion, film, theatre, and commercial productions. My career began with studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, followed by costume design at UAL Wimbledon College of Art in London, and later MA studies in fashion design at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan.

My practice has developed internationally through collaborations with magazines, fashion weeks, theatre, and film productions, including King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Now You See Me 2, and Messiah. My work has connected London, Milan, New York, and Dubai, allowing me to build a career across different creative industries.

Painting is central to my practice because it acts as a bridge between all the artistic avenues in my career. It connects the visual language of fashion, the storytelling of film, the atmosphere of theatre, and the emotional directness of fine art. Through painting, I bring together colour, texture, body, memory, costume, and character in a personal and instinctive way. Painting is the foundation that holds all these directions together.

Rasa Usackiene (RasaUsArtTherapy) is a Lithuanian-born artist based in London, UK. She returned fully to painting in 2019 after many years working in other professional fields, marking an important turning point in her creative journey.

Working primarily with oil paint alongside acrylic and mixed media, Rasa explores emotion, light, movement, and inner transformation. Her work balances between figurative and abstract forms, inspired by nature, urban spaces, dreams, silence, and human emotional experience. Through expressive brushwork, layered textures, and colour, she creates paintings that reflect vulnerability, resilience, and the search for inner freedom.

Rasa is currently studying Fine Art at London Metropolitan University and continues developing her contemporary artistic practice through exhibitions and collaborative projects.

She is a member of Albion Art Club CIC and has participated in exhibitions in Birmingham, at the Lithuanian Embassy in London, the Lithuanian Parliament, and the UK Parliament.
