Ariel Lyneese

Ariel Lyneese, based in Boston, MA, merges her background as a Jewish-Caribbean American woman with her degree in Criminology and Studio Art. Crafting narrative-driven visual explorations of history and identity. Specializing in reductive charcoal and pixelation techniques across mediums such as; oil pastel, gouache, and collage.

"As a multi-medium artist, I am exploring varying techniques that deconstruct & breakdown the subject matter, whether that’s by color or shape. At first glance, my techniques may play a visual trick on your eyes but once you step back the illusion blurs. The subjects of my work often include historical moments and figures that are pivotal to me and my exploration of my identity."

Dan Cleal

Dan Cleal is a Caribbean British painter born and raised in London. His art reflects his life growing up in the 90s, and his philosophy and abstract paintings explore the relationship between mixing traditional art, pop art, and tribal art with freedom, expressionism, color theory, and interpretation. By using various dark and vibrant colors, brushes and palette knives, he layers acrylic paint and adds textures and materials to evoke a sense of depth to provoke introspection or enlightenment that is eye-catching.

"I'm fascinated by how our views of people, surroundings shape our experiences and how those experiences, in turn, become embedded in our memories and can shape our views and core beliefs. By layering different colours and textures, or by keeping it simple yet add something bold makes the piece stand out."

Grigorii Kniagnitskii

"My painting “Haven” continues this exploration of the human psyche. It depicts a young man seated in a leather chair, a softly glowing cat resting on his lap. Around them, ghostly silhouettes emerge from the surrounding darkness—manifestations of fear, intrusive thoughts, and emotional unrest. The cat’s gentle light becomes both literal and symbolic: a quiet force that dispels the shadows and restores calm.

Through "Haven" and my broader body of work, I seek to visualize the quiet battles we all fight within ourselves and the simple sources of comfort that help us endure. I believe that tranquility often begins in the smallest moments of warmth and connection, and that even the faintest light can transform the darkness around us."

Grigorii Kniagnitskii is a motion designer and animator currently based in Arlington, Virginia. His creative work spans painting, animation, and illustration, often exploring the fragile intersections of mental health, emotional resilience, and human connection. As a designer, he has been recognized as a winner and finalist in several competitions across the United States and internationally. Most recently, his work for the design contest organized by Six Point Brewery was selected as a finalist among more than two hundred entries and exhibited in New York. He has also participated in multiple art exhibitions in New York, Atlanta, and Virginia with his painting Smile Through the Chaos. His paintings have been noted for their introspective tone and symbolic use of light and shadow.

'When man becomes the possessor over the knowledge of himself, he becomes master of his environments.' - Marcus Garvey

My art focuses on the origins, struggles and endeavors of black and brown people by depicting historical events and figures. I aim to try and inspire people to become masters of themselves by showing them what shaped them."

Rashme Sawhney

Rashme's artistic journey, particularly her pursuit of oil painting, is fueled primarily through self-education, driven by a deep passion for learning and experimentation. Since retiring as an auditor from Government Service and moving to Florida, she finds meaningful inspiration from the coastal landscape and sea life near her home. Many of her pieces reflect color and brightness, aiming to transport viewers to the serenity of the sea. As an emerging artist, she operates at the border of fine art and abstract expressionism, frequently combining the two and working across mediums including oil, acrylic, and recent experiments with alcohol inks and mixed media pours.

Her work is deeply rooted in nature, often depicting mountains, oceans, boats, and vibrant blooms that reflect the color and creativity of the seasons. Beyond landscapes, Rashme is keenly interested in portraying the dynamic energy of women, with interpretations that delve into the strength, grace, and complexity of womanhood. Every painting in her collection provides her with profound joy, and she hopes that, through her unique lens, others may also experience the vivid essence of the scenes that inspire her.
