Karine Guillermin
Karine Guillermin has spent her creative life between France, Japan and now Vietnam. Her art is hypnotic and evocative, embracing an overarching sentiment that is articulated in the words of Rousseau, “beauty is the promise of happiness.” It can be seen that French expressiveness and Japanese-inspired detailing are embraced in her works, colliding as dreamy compositions.

Le Anh Can
Coming from Vietnam, artist Le Anh Can has his own distinct style with impressive brushstrokes and romantic colour harmonies. His subjects are often ordinary things portrayed with affection and joy, varying from the vast landscape of his own country to the traditional dress of a young girl.

Heri Purwanto
As one of our artists, Heri Purwanto is an Indonesian artist whose works reflect his perspective about complexities and problems in life expressed in the symbolic form of a house. Often appearing in different works, his house, sometimes floating on the cloud or standing tall on top of the rock, is like a little world - a place of refuge where various kinds of socialisation amongst its occupants take place.

Elena Osuna
Born in North Carolina, USA, Elena Osuna studied fine art with a focus on printmaking and book arts in both undergraduate and graduate schools. Since her studies she has concentrated mainly on realist painting and drawing. In 2001, she moved to Berlin, Germany where she lived for 12 years. In 2013, she relocated with her family to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Elena has worked on a series of works that are more related to landscape with bright colours and decorative elements, which enters a more playful territory. The dominant theme in these works is the natural world, depicting a romantic view of nature, never far from the influences of civilisation.
