Nina Sechko is a contemporary artist whose practice examines the contemplation of self, evoking emotional resonance with the viewer through a visual language that is at once intimate, playful, and subtly infused with humour drawn from the natural world.

Her artistic practice is grounded in an intimate understanding of human anatomy, a skill honed during her time in medical school. Working primarily with oil paint, she employs surface treatments with the precision of a sewing needle, building unique volumetric textures that mimic the tactile sensation of the physical body.

Daoist philosophy and its resonance throughout East Asian thought, the works invite viewers into a contemplative space where light becomes both a spiritual metaphor and a living force.

Vowa Mank’s practice centers on the human figure as a site of perception and internal intensity. His works engage with states of presence in which time expands within, allowing subtle psychological conditions to fully emerge. The work draws on shared human conditions and experiences.

Vowa constructs the image through a tectonic process, a meticulous accumulation of micro-elements, where each point contributes to the emergence of form. This process creates a dynamic relationship between proximity and distance, in which the image shifts between abstraction and legibility. The point becomes the fundamental unit through which it force us to recognize the limits of our perceptual apparatus and the constructed nature of our reality.
