Gavin Atashkar is a self-taught painter based in North London and a member of the ArtCan global arts collective. From childhood she was drawn to three things that remain the core of her practice today: colour, texture, and the natural world. Growing up in a South Manchester textile workshop shaped her instinctive feeling for surface and material; moving to London revealed an unexpected abundance of nature that inspires her work today.

Anika De Souza is a London-based abstract mixed media artist whose work captures the quiet complexity of emotion through texture, movement, and form. Originally from Germany, her creative path began in spatial design and visual art - foundations that continue to shape her intuitive, layered approach today.

She’s been doodling since forever, spent 10 years in graphic design, and finally took the leap into full-time art after winning The Other Art Fair’s New Futures prize in 2022. Not into over-explaining, very into connection.
