ARTISTS BIO'S AND WORK
Ditte Blohm
Ditte Blohm is a Danish artist living and working in London. She works across painting and ceramics. She doesn’t plan her work in advance. Instead, she lets her feelings guide her. Her work reads as a diary - about honest moments about love, fear, and identity.
In 2024, Ditte released a limited-edition book with writer Laura Hinson called ‘Today’s a Rollercoaster But I Won’t Get Off’, a mix of poems and paintings about being a woman and mother.
She has exhibited in the UK and abroad. Ditte studied at Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, Kolding Design School in Denmark, and Willem de Kooning Art Academy in the Netherlands.

Burrito
I am Burrito an artist from Madrid based in London. My work moves between tattooing, illustration and mural art, always guided by curiosity, cuteness and fun.
Working under the tag “love more” I create for connection and love. Through love more, I aim to create work that contributes positively to shared spaces, art that gently interrupts routine, encourages connection and leaves behind a feeling rather than a message.
I focus on subtle emotional impact: work that quietly brightens people’s days, invites softness and offers a sense of shared humanity. This approach aligns strongly with my interest in public-facing and community-oriented spaces, where art becomes part of daily movement rather than a destination.

Nefer tipi
Tipi is a multidisciplinary artist based in Hackney Wick/Fish Island, London. Through painting, street art and sculpture, she explores themes around life paths, how we are all interconnected, our life choices, and ultimately the brief nature of our existence.
Tipi is influenced by the symbolism and artistry of antique art, including Old Master paintings, 17th Century Vanitas, and South American pre-Columbian and colonial art. She is also inspired by the innovative, colourful and conceptual styles of modern and contemporary art, especially pop culture, postmodern spiritual symbolism and street art.
Tipi holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, and while her professional life has spanned various creative disciplines, she is currently focused on her artistic career, having already exhibited in different spaces across East London.

Diego Sainz García
1975, Logroño (España),Lives and works in Hereford (UK).
Starting from abstract expressionism as a primitive reference, Diego Sainz Garcia’s artistic practice moves between painting and drawing with incursions into sculpture, installation and performance. Central to his work is an exploration of pictorial techniques and materials, in a constant search for an authentic language. This language is born from the subconscious and has an important component of spontaneous expression and action painting.
Finding a channel of communication through an organic, sincere and familiar form of practice is the engine of his aesthetic discourse. A form of practice that desires to capture the fleeting, to reinterpret the everyday, to show us the residue of life, with colours and strokes that sabotage the passage of time. For Diego, painting becomes an inevitable necessity, to shine and make the subject of exploration shine.

Konflixks
Konflixks is an Australian contemporary artist in London transitioning from the street to a dedicated studio practice. Their work explores the intersection of urban grit and fine art abstraction, utilizing spray paint and mixed media to create deeply layered canvases. By deconstructing the architecture of letterforms into fluid shapes, Oliver strips away literal meaning to focus on movement and texture. This evolution refines the raw intuition of their roots into a sophisticated, rhythmic, and contemporary aesthetic.

Ting Cheng
Ting Cheng is a Taiwanese-British artist based in Brighton, working across photography, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores subtle relationships between humans, nature, and the everyday, revealing poetry and humour in overlooked moments. Her early photographic works captured fleeting, surreal fragments of daily life, while recent projects, including Little Odd Things, transform discarded objects into sculptural compositions that challenge notions of beauty and value. Since becoming a mother of two, Cheng’s work has embraced an intuitive, play-based process. She has exhibited internationally, including the Saatchi Gallery, Copenhagen Photo Festival, and the Taiwan Biennial, and her publications include One and Two and Up and Down, Computer Says No, and Baker Salon.

LUVE
LUVE is an alter ego developed by artist Lucia Vera (Venezuela, 1986) to explore
projects that engage more directly with mainstream commercial formats, experiment with methods of reproduction, and draw from pop culture, creating space for conceptually lighter and more playful works. Conceived as a parallel practice, LUVE allows Vera to test more accessible entry points into her primary body of work.
Vera graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in 2007 and received a BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art, New York, in 2010. She later participated in the Turps Banana School residency programme in London (2012–2013).
