MY ARTISTS

I collaborate with contemporary and avant-garde artists from around the globe who explore the intersection of wellness, nature, technology, and ancient wisdom—redeeming the past to envision a brighter, more connected future.

From biofeedback-driven art and luminous AI installations to 360º photography and sea-inspired ceramic sculptures, these visionary creators delve into themes of humanitarian upliftment, mental and emotional health, and reconnection with nature, humanity, and the planet. Together, we aim to inspire healing, foster understanding, and shape a better world through transformative art.

ERIK LÓPEZ (IMGN) / NEW MEDIA

IMGN is the VJ project of the architect and visual artist Erik López (MX). His work, self-described as Digital Expressionism, experiments with the limits of photography, video, and 3D modelling to create live-processed landscapes that address themes related to the internet, cities, and architecture. Working with digital tools, IMGN intends to exclude the technical processes involved in digital creation and focus on improvisation and intuition, he mimics the emotional and unconscious gestures that were used in the Abstract Expressionism paintings of the 20th century.


Alongside Edgar Mondragón, an electronic music producer, they have performed in world-renowned music festivals like MUTEK and SXSW.

PAGOO / MULTIMEDIA, POETRY & PERFORMANCE

PAGOO𐡼 (BR) is a non-binary multilingual poet and multimedia artist who incorporates various personas and, with them, creates poetic expressions such as contrasting visuals, carefully designed symbolism and melodramatic storytelling, thus realizing the alchemy of art.

Employing techniques of automatic writing, surrealism and magical realism, PAGOO𐡼 illuminates the darkness, guiding us towards a deeper self-awareness. Confronting the rawest human truths, they offer a glimpse of hope and promote a reconnection with our inner complex selves.

You can find PAGOO𐡼 in the flesh, performing in Barcelona's bars, art galleries and cultural events such as those from Znak Community and ESCUCHAME. They've been featured on YouTube shows, radio stations and podcasts, as was the case with U.K.-based Open Collab, Radio Relativa's “Vocablos Rebeldes” and podcast "What's Art?".

MARIA GURIKHINA  / MIXED-MEDIA & LITHOGRAPHY

Maria Gurikhina (RU) is an award-winning artist with many exhibitions behind her back. Her artworks are found on the streets, in galleries, and in museum collections around the world. She won prizes such as the “Instantes Graficas Award” by Carla Rey and FIG Bilbao, and is a Finalist in the Taiwan Print Biennal at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and has exhibited in the ERARTA Contemporary Art Museum, FAD Design Museum of Barcelona and MUHBA Olivia.

Using mixed media on paper and the traditional lithography technique of printing on stone, she crafts works that evoke a dreamlike sense of wonder. Rooted in magical realism, her art blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality, weaving together the conscious and subconscious to reflect the paradoxical nature of existence.

 

Gurikhina challenges our perceptions of reality and encourages us to explore our own dualities and fragmented experiences which our emotions or our linguistic capabilities may glitch.
