Collection: Stories (unfolded) in veins of memory

Our collective body of work is rooted in personal narrative, emotional depth, and the ongoing exploration of identity, vulnerability, and transformation. Through varied practices - including painting, printmaking, digital layering, and alternative photographic processes we confront the inner and outer worlds that shape us, using art as a means of self-examination, healing, and connection.

We draw from deeply personal experiences: the silent battles with mental health, the weight of familial responsibility, and the sacred moments passed down through generations. Whether through the personification of internal struggles as demons, the symbolic power of a pregnant figure cast in gold, or the quiet intimacy of a family gathering, our works reflect our lived realities, fragile yet resilient, painful yet affirming.

Mediums such as cyanotype, linocut, oil painting, digital drawing, and impressionistic brushwork become vessels for storytelling. These techniques allow us to layer memory with material, merging the spiritual and the emotional into tactile form. Religious motifs, the ethereal use of blue skin, and recurring symbols like clouds and candles act as metaphors for longing, transformation, and hope.

Central to our practice is the act of confronting the self of facing demons, celebrating survival, and honoring the beauty found in everyday relationships. Our art becomes a space to question inherited masculinity, embrace vulnerability, and highlight the complex interplay between fragility and strength. It is in this tension that we find our voices.

Through these layered visual stories, we invite the viewer to witness the quiet ruptures and small triumphs that define the human experience. In doing so, we hope to foster empathy, introspection, and a shared recognition of what it means to be alive, seen, and whole.
