Dima Dmitriev


About Dima.

Dima Dmitriev was born in Moscow, Russia, and is the second generation of artists in his family. He moved to Prague, Czech Republic, where he graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. As his paintings gained attention and praise at fine art exhibitions throughout Europe, Dima became one of the most talked about young artists living in Prague’s flourishing artistic community. Dmitriev has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Dmitriev’s paintings represent forms of “visual paradise”. He describes this as the process of extracting the color, light, and texture from real places and distilling these onto his canvases as idealized worlds. Dima rarely uses a brush. His preferred tool is the palette knife. Dmitriev also adds depth and color saturation to some of his works by starting with black, rather than the traditional white, canvas. Dima’s Impressionistic composition and style combined with his mastery of the palette knife create oil paintings that are vibrant and sculptural. His works often include themes of childhood, nature and the sea. Numerous institutions including AT&T, Vodafone, or AWD Holding AG have acquired his paintings for their art collections. His works are also in private collections in the Czech Republic, United States, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Qatar, and the Dominican Republic and others.

Sally Ryan






Sally Ryan, an Australian artist living and working in Sydney, began her career as a graphic designer before moving into teaching. It was not long, however, before she returned to the visual arts, pursuing an interest in pattern and design through painting ceramics. She won several prizes in this medium and completed a number of commemorative commissions for various institutions during this time.

For many years drawing and painting the human figure has been a passion for Sally and this has led to her focus on portraiture and figure painting. She studied art part time at a variety of art schools before enrolling at the Julian Ashtom Art School. Since winning a scholarship there for 2010 she has been studying and painting as a full time artist.

Her style is best described as "contemporary realism" and includes works in graphite, charcoal and oil with life-like representation of the subject being of utmost importance. Design has become a compositional feature in some of her portrait paintings with backgrounds consisting of strong colour, pattern and design. Other works are more traditional and this is influenced by the nature and interests of the person she is painting.

Mertim Gokalp



Mertim Gokalp is a Sydney based artist of Turkish origin who has been recently granted a distinguished talent visa by the Australian Government to allow him to live and work in Australia. He has moved to Sydney in 2009 and since then he has been working from his studio in Balmain.

Mertim’s training at the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts Academy, Istanbul, has prepared him well for a career in portraiture, and in the five years that he has been living in Sydney he has been selected as a finalist in all the top portrait exhibition here: the Archibald Prize in 2013; the Doug Moran Portrait Prize in 2012; and the Black Swan Art Prize in 2011.

Artist Statement
To me, painting is a synthesis of my feelings, inspirations, reactions and struggles; it is a way of breathing in and out…Painting portrait is one of my passions as it is a great area to explore the underpinnings of human psychology. Using the narrative potential of portrait painting, I aim to challenge the viewers and confront them with their most inner feelings.
​
My portraits are not literal representations of people posing or sitting. These are subjective portraits of the psyche. All portraits reveal something about the subject, but they are open to many interpretations as they are enigmatic most of the time.My portraits are a celebration of the human form.
​
Similarly, I aim to capture particular psychological moments of the places, and my landscape paintings are not literal depictions of
places. Instead, the landscapes I paint reflect my subjective relationship with the places.

As an artist trained in a Fine Arts Academy, I always appreciate and try to live up to the standards of great academic masters.
The inspiration is to incorporate my observations into my unique style.
