Welcome Note
Here we are in the middle of the storm, surprised that we’re still here but
accustomed to its ways. We’re finding ways to cope with this new form of
life and bloom and rejuvenate out of it. Finding the countless ways to scatter
out and cling on to hope to start about our new lives or resume our old ones. Art,
the expression of life and what life imitates is a tool of escape for many and
a means of finding that silver lining. As the great Martin Luther King once said,
“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”.
Our latest edition is a delightful culmination of some of the most inspiring
and exquisite talent that our exhibitions had to offer. From artworks done
by all ages and revolving around all different themes, we have it all gathered
here for you in the magic of these mere few pages. Our international
exhibitions this time catered to a very diverse audience who brought
out the best of best as splashes of eccentric colors on blank canvases.
We hope you enjoy reading our journey and precious moments as much as we
took pleasure in compiling these pearls of hope and growth. An ode to courage of
surviving these times and coming out with faith, belief and promise. After all the
human perspective through art and skill is a true reflection of survival.

“Inspire and Empower”
See Valentina Alexeevna’s
work on the following page!
Featured artist - Valentina Alexeevna
The charm in the moonlight
makes it the most admirable in
the night sky. To own that kind of
magic one must be unique and build
an aura with originality and love. The
unprecedented beauty of being
the only one to own the variation of
work is a task for the extremely talented
and determined. Composing
new alternatives to bridge the gap
between creativity and standing out
to be noticed is a very important and
difficult task to accomplish.
Someone who has truly worked
to identify the relevance of being
unique is Valentina Alexeevna, a
Russian artist based out in the UAE.
Valentina lives through the eyes and
the world of a doll. She is a visual
artist who works in a variety of
mediums. Her art explores identity,
femininity, and energy visualisation.
She often paint dolls and creates
abstract mixed media art. She
encompasses vibrant colours, solid
shapes and a focus on aesthetics
with elements of glitz, where perfection
is essential. United with
circles, squares, 3D elements and
childlike motifs.
She stays away from trends and
follows her vision and embraces
the unfound differences in art and
complexity. Addressing a trend, she
prefers going in the opposite direction
as it gives her the benefit of not
being one in the crowd. She loves
her style of being unique and original
and enjoys challenging
herself to make an
impactful difference.
Valentina has a novel
take on the aim of her
artworks, on being
asked she revealed her
thoughts by quoting, "I
live through the eyes
and the world of dolls.
My dolls are an extension
of me, and their
world is my inner reality,
they represent my
essence and help me
explore, express and
embrace my true self.
My dolls are personified
indirect self-portraits
and dollified mini
girls with enlarged baby
schema features, referring to facial
proportions found in infants. These
features amplify doll’s cuteness
and youthfulness, to signify a deep
appreciation for the delicate feminine
nature of women. My dolls
are inspired by children illustration,
kawaii culture and Blythe dolls." Her
divergent take on the kind of art she
portrays is discrete and new.
She was always passionate about
art, however, she pursued business
from The University of Leicester, U.K.
for many years before coming to art.
She learned fine arts in the form of
private tutoring, from artists from
the Fine Art Society of Moscow and
Pictured above: Artist, Valentina Alexeevna
became an artist by profession in
2017. She started teaching workshops
for kids and adults as she
got back to Dubai, the place she
was brought up in and the city that
kept her inspired and motivated her
art career. This career path took off
very quickly as she created signature
workshops with her own techniques,
which was completely new,
and nobody had taught before. She
worked and spread her knowledge
and the views of art and technique
in almost all art schools in Dubai,
various festivals and was the main
art teacher at World Art Dubai in
2019. Meanwhile, Valentina was
working on her new art series and

Artist Stories: Valentina Alexeevna
"...art enables us to see and beyond this reality..."
have now left teaching to focus and
give more time to her creative ideas
and art. She exhibited her work
across the UAE, including Maker Fair
and World Art Dubai exhibitions as
a solo artist. This was an impeccable
achievement and a milestone
to the blooming career of the Dubai
Doll. Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons
are her inspirations for their art, persistence
and success.
She experiences immense happiness
and pride in the fact that she
had been asked to exhibit and run
almost all the art workshops at
World Art Dubai in 2019. She further
says, "This was definitely a major
achievement, considering I am a
self-taught artist." She also shares
her experience working with WAD,
"In the previous years, the wonderful
WAD team has always worked with
large art centres and many different
artists, while last year they chose
a single art teacher. It was a wonderful
experience for me and a big
responsibility to deliver excellent
workshops!" This reflects on the
huge potential and talent Valentina
possess as an artist and a teacher.
Her dedication and hard work have
gifted her a chain of memories and
achievements to celebrate along
with new work relationships and
one-of-a-kind experiences.
She believes, art enables us to see
and beyond this reality, it opens creativity,
intuition and feelings. These
are very important for any career
path hence art plays a crucial role
in a student's life. Enabling them
with the liberty of exploring what is
boundless will teach them lessons
of decision making and creativity
at the same time. Exploring ideas
yet to be explored is an accomplishment
you should encourage children
to aim.
"Artists should make it a priority to
learn everything about the art world
and how it works. Speaking with
artists and curators is the best, to
gain this understanding." This is a
very thoughtful message Valentina
wants to share with other artists.
We encourage and highly appreciate
such actions where artists come
forward to stand along with the
other fellow community members
to share their experiences, views
and knowledge through "Inspire and
Empower", a series By the Artists,

ARTOZE Gallery and Exhibitions.

Pandemic: An Outstanding
Opportunity for Artists
Ten years later from now, when
we look back to talk about the
year 2020, we're all going to
sigh with a kind of relief as it's over
and also fulfilment in being able to
have abundant time to focus on
ourselves and develop the desired
skills as to build a better future post
the pandemic. This sudden pause in
our lives shouldn't be looked upon
as a threat or an undesirable change,
instead, we should unwrap the hidden
opportunities that this break
has resumed. Working hard on making
recognizable changes mentally,
physically, emotionally and financially
it has been a hard time. Pondering
over the brighter shades of
the effects of COVID-19 we realize
that during this course of time, many
have constructed a network or community
and extended their hands to
the farthest making efforts to help
one another progress over tough
times.
The unpropitious pandemic has
actually taken a toll on being coated
with abundant opportunities for
artists across the globe. The lavish
time proposes ideas to pave the
way to the right door you were waiting
to knock. Being an artist here's
how you can yield principal benefits
from this pandemic;
1Explore new artforms
Taking advantage of the
extra hours in a day you can
try venturing into artforms
you've never tried before. This will
help you boost your confidence
and will also open new possibilities
in the vast field of art. Being
an expert in more than one artform
gives you an edge over others. So
what are you waiting for? Go ahead,
take some inspiration and try something
new with the colours you own.
2Build international
relationships
Connecting to art communities
around the world
and breaking boundaries to share
the spirit of creativity via online
meetings, virtual events, appreciating
each other's work and
interacting through social media
platforms can make an effective
impact and aid in composing
influential international bonds.
3Create awareness on
social issues
Staying relevant is the most
important thing for an artist,
it is important to be self-aware
and also have good knowledge of
the current happenings and the
immediate surroundings. Raising
your voice for or against any social
issues through your work will help
in creating an impression among
the audience. This will enable you to
connect with your art viewers on a
better level.
4Popularize your work
This is the perfect season
to use social media platforms
to their optimum
use to popularize your work and
connect with a larger audience.
Joining communities and actively
posting on your social accounts
using the right hashtags will exhibit
remarkable growth, which will
further drive you to do even better.
5Participate in virtual
art exhibitions
Being a part of online art
exhibitions and virtual
events that celebrate art and creativity
immensely helps in achieving
all the significant objectives
discussed above. ARTOZE Gallery
and Exhibitions (www.artoze.com)
hosts online events and exhibitions,
we encourage the warmth in the art
community. Helping children and
young adults to find their career
interests in art and provide budding
and established artist a platform to
shine has been an interesting part of
the journey.
Art is a boundless feeling of expression,
it is vast and there is always
something undiscovered, be the one
to explore what's new to the world.

“Inspire and Empower”
See Tommy Balogh’s work on
the following page!
Featured artist - Tommy Balogh
The great Armenian-American
painter Arshile Gorky once said,
“Abstraction allows man to see
with his mind what he cannot see
physically with his eyes. Abstract
art enables the artist to perceive
beyond the tangible, to extract the
infinite out of the finite. It is the
emancipation of the mind. It is an
exploration into unknown areas.”
Art has a voice that has different
tones and pitches, which we as
humans capture through the magical
notes of our fingers. This voice
needs to be sung through the flairs
of paintbrushes and strokes of
paints, filling a blank canvas with
mesmerizing colors and creating
an alternate reality filled with
hues of wonder and incredulity.
Tommy Balogh is an Australian artist
residing in Australia who specializes
in light-reactive organic abstract
art. His Instagram account is one
that you need to get your eyes
accustomed to, a bash of different
colors, from bright to mellow
tones, to pastels to greyish hues
all blended with different designs
and intricacies. He current follows
art trends like the spearhead interactive
organic abstract art. He likes
to follow and gain exposure from a
handful of fluid art accounts and
people with a unique artistic vision
that keep him inspired and intrigued.
priceless in the eyes
of the creator and the
viewer, to know that a
certain story or lesson
is being conveyed is
what blossoms its value.
Tommy’s work aims at
awakening our sense
of awe and wonder
through his arts fusion
of organic abstract form
and light within people
and he successfully
does this with immense
grace and poise.
He has developed his
career from scratch,
never shying away from
taking major opportunities
and learning
and growing with them
through an eclectic mix of experiences.
Long story short, it started
with graduating with an Honor from
the Australian National University
School of Art to a stint in street
art on the streets of Sydney, to an
invite-only residency to Germany
by the founders of VIVID international
light festival, to his most
recent collaborations with international
companies, entrepreneurs
and thought leaders. It’s been an
incredible journey on which his family
is also quintessential to him and
his path as an artist and person.

individual for that matter to find
worth in their being and is a motivating
force to keep trying and daring
to take higher leaps. Tommy is proud
of many things but the most significant
turning points for him is the
landmark exposition at Nishi Gallery
in 2016 in Canberra, Australia. Voyage
was his most successful exhibition,
it made the Australian National
News and he was interviewed on TV
to tell his story, plus the invite-only
residency to Studio Kybra, Germany
which gave him extraordinary experiences,
opportunities and contacts.

we would never face, putting
things in perspective for many of
us and giving a new meaning to our
life. The pandemic brought Tommy
out of his comfort zone. Through
these challenges he set up his
home studio, kicked up various
collaborations, participated in podcasts
and generated new concept
pieces to push his practice further
and spread his message to
the world through the digital realm.
Passing on your practices and lessons
as a creator is one of the
greatest gifts you can bestow upon
the world apart from your art. Tommy’s
message to other artists is to
never give up and fight for your passion
in life, which is your art. But the
most important thing is that if you
are young, plan ahead where you
want to be. That way you can step
in the right directions and define
your career trajectory early on. His
advice can not only be applied in the
field of art, but in all walks of life.
In Tommy’s view art is important
because it frees your imagination,
but if a student is serious about art
they must be determined and learn
through example to make it a real
career. Art is not easy to make into
a paying career, especially one that
you can support your family on. Having
said that, never losing sight of
the bigger picture and what you want
to contribute to the world at large is
very important. The source of your
drive should be what should be
remembered during the dark times.
A family is an unbreakable unit that
bears through every weather, making
sure its roof stays put. For Tommy
too, his family is his greatest inspiration
because they have gone through
it all with him, including his parents
in the early years of his career and
journey. He is highly influenced by
artists of the likes of Anish Kapoor,
Damien Hirst and James Turrell.
We encourage and highly appreciate
such actions where artists come
forward to stand along with the
other fellow community members
to share their experiences, views
and knowledge through "Inspire and
Empower", a series By the Artists,
For the Artists in association with
ARTOZE Gallery and Exhibitions.

Digital Art and Photography Exhibition
What is creativity? This question
has a simple answer, creativity
is an art and it is bound to one's
imagination and endeavour of experimenting
with colours and thoughts.
An artist is made on the grounds of
their ability to be creative with their
expression and portrayal through
their art forms, hence it's not the
skill but the sole mind of a person.
Digital Art is a unique form of art that
uses digital technology as a part of
the creative process. It is a skill you
have to learn, painting on a canvas

require experience and patience.

Virtual Exhibition:
The Creative Buds
Our souls are like drops in the
ocean, waiting to be found
and having the sunlight glint off of
them. They’re the Pandora boxes to
our personalities and the culmination
of our heart, body and minds.
These precious elements give birth
to some of the most beautiful qualities
that make a person a human.
Talent, imagination, creativity, compassion,
empathy and love. Souls
are the embodiment of art, of pure
human elegance and rawness. From
the time of birth, a child is exposed
to all forms of art and hues around
it. Art is what helps it pave its way
into the world and make sense of
the haunting yet magnificent chaos.
Art is the building block for a child to
grow and blossom into an independent
and assured adult. It’s a tool for
them to find themselves and make
sense of their surroundings in the
most astounding manner. It’s what
encourages people to leave a mark
on this world.
Our International exhibition ‘The
Creative Buds’, was a long awaited
ride, that gave a refreshing boost
to all those who participated and
were a part of this experience. The
award ceremony was an exciting
event that kept all the participants
as well as their parents on the edges
of their seats. This would have
not been possible without our honorable
jury members, Kritika Rawat,
Rich Mccor, Maria Mishkareva, Dhaval
Khatri and our sponsors, Equifax
Tourism and Travel LLC and BrainO-
Brain. Obviously it would have been
an incomplete evening without our
talented students and their ever
supporting parents.
As students and jury members
started entering the call a thrilling
buzz had settled in the air. Webcams
were popping on with their shy yet
energetic faces showing up on the
screen. The feeling of restlessness
to begin the show was apparent in
everyone’s voices. The event started
off with a bang with our energetic
host who embraced everyone with
a warm, accepting and lively sentiment.
The first category was filled with
paintings from our younger artists,
ages up to seven, that left us
in immense awe. The theme of this
category was ‘Planet Earth’, a very
important subject during these frail
times that our planet is facing. To
see such young kids exhibit such
talent was truly inspiring. Their
scenes of sunsets and night skies
left us feeling exhilarated. The first
prize in this category was awarded
to Insiyah Mansoor of Gulf Indian
High School. The second prize was
awarded to Amrita Syam of Gulf Indian
High School and the third prize
was a tie between Burhanuddin Maimoon
of MSB Private School and Lun
Hoi Ching Alyssa of Hong Kong Ling
Liang Church Tsuen Wan Kindergarten.
This category was followed by a
token of wisdom from our jury member
Kritika Rawat who is the biggest
and most awarded Asian celebrity
in the Middle East, Co-founder of K
Kompany and also called the unofficial
Ambassador of the Asian Community
in Dubai, a voice that numerous
south Asians relate to. She has
been doing radio for the last 15
years and single-handedly has built
an empire of her own.
Throughout the event along with the
award distribution there was simultaneous
polling and activities taking
place on our socials that made it an
even more interactive and thrilling
session. Our second category featured
students from the ages eight
to thirteen with the designated
theme as ‘The Beautiful Nature’. The
students made sure to do justice
Page 10 | www.magzoid.com
to each and every aspect of this
theme. They brought their own special
touch of imagination, perspective
and originality to it. The first
prize of this category was awarded
to Angira Dasgupta Arinda of Loreto
Day School. The second prize was
awarded to Samiksha Kamal Verma
of Saint Xaviers School. The third
prize was once again a tie between
Kirti Avinash Phadtare of JSS International
School and Vanessa Daniela
Ferreira da Cruz of Pinheiro Basic and
Secondary School. Our esteemed
jury member Rich Mccor, is a London-based
photographer who has
been described as a non-destructive
vandal within the confines of a
camera viewfinder. He has a grown
social media following and has been
hired by numerous brands to bring
his unique perspective to their marketing.
He left us with some insightful
gems into the world of creativity,
bravery and talent.
Our third jury member Maria Mishkareva,
a renowned watercolour
Upcoming Jury Talks
artist located in Russia whose work
has left us all in total awe and admiration
lent her immense support and
insight into our event. What better
than some joyous games and activities
to bring up the morale of kids as
well as break the ice between them
and create a bond. Students faces
lit up with joy as they heared of
the planned ice breakers. We played
the classic ‘Simon Says’ that always
gets the crowd moving and leaves
you with stomach-aching laughter.
It was indeed a sight to behold, students
running about, jumping, touching
their noses with their tongues
and laughing all along.
As the rush settled in we began
with our third category which was
themed as ‘The Future I Visualize’.
This was for students aged between
fourteen to eighteen, who left us
enlightened with their thoughts and
vision for a better tomorrow. Their
paintings were that which were filled
with hope, empathy, human connection
and passion. The winner of
the first prize for this category was
Varsha Saju Nair of Delhi Private
School. The second prize was given
to Vaishnavi Satheeshkumar of Gulf
Indian High school. The third prize
was awarded to Selimaq Achour of
Star International School.
The anticipation for the Public
Choice Award was growing by the
second with almost more than
3000+ appreciations. But before
that our esteemed jury member,
Dhawal Khatri who is a phenomenal
artist and a unique talent inaugurated
this category. His artwork has
been showcased internationally and
recognized by the most renowned
people across the globe.
A game of riddles got everyone
hyped up and rushing to use their
grey cells. With answers popping in
from every viewer, a beautiful chaos
settled in, a perfect gateway
for the public choice award winner
announcement. Cheers erupted at
the name of our award winner Vanshita
Aggarwal of Gems New Millennium
School and there was complete
bliss that settled in. What a
beautiful way to end the evening and
yet a refreshing break right before
the school routine begins. What we
saw was hope, what we recognized
was the small joys and pleasures of
life and what we learnt is that our
kids are truly the leaders of a better
tomorrow. The pioneers who will
leave deep shining marks into this
world.

“...a journey of self-expression...”
Kritika Rawat
@kritikarawatdubai
@magzoid
Kritika Rawat is one among the most
awarded Asian celebrity in the Middle
East. She is called the unofficial
Ambassador of the Asian community
in Dubai, a voice that numerous
south Asians relate to. She has been
doing Radio for the last 15 years and
single-handedly has built an empire.
ARTOZE is very much thrilled to have
such an honourable personality as
the jury member for the International
Art Exhibition organized for
children. Her name is very popular in
the middle east and does not need
any kind of introduction as she is
considered family by most of the
South Asians living in the UAE, she
even has the likes of the Ex-President
of India that they request only
she interviews them when they are
in the UAE.
Kritika Rawat believes in curating art
and she encourages young minds to
pour their imagination on plain paper
not just to express but also because
it is a testament of times that we
live in. She also said "Art they say
is not a destination, it's a journey, a
journey of self-expression", and we
totally dig this thought.
Her voice and the light in her personality
reaches people over so many
countries like; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh
and the Philippines. Listeners
across UAE, Doha, Oman, Bahrain
and even prominent places outside
the GCC like New Zealand, UK, USA,
Australia and more, are all fans of
Kritika.
She has a wide foundation and fan
base duly because of the kind of
humanitarian acts performed by her.
Kritika so far has raised over AED 5

Rich Mccor
“...a journey of self-expression...”
@paperboyo
@magzoid.global
Human beings live to express, this
stirred art forms like; painting, acting,
dancing, singing, writing, sculpting,
photography, and more. Expression
of one's feelings like love,
frustration, sadness, loneliness,
happiness, fear, or passion curates
the kinda art that one stops by to
experience. Traveling through the
world an artist designs, through his
work is bliss on itself and when it's a
blend of two forms it’s magical.
Rich Mccor, popularly known as
@paperboyo, brings together the
art of photography with paper cutout
silhouettes. As mesmerizing
as the idea sounds are his final
products too. His vision is unparalleled
and he has the ability to find
any place encompassing him to be
his backdrop for the paper cutouts.
He believes in staying imaginative
and bringing creativity to art in your
own conception of style and art. He
quotes "I like to describe myself
as a photographer, but the reality
is I started doing my style of art
because I wasn’t a good photographer
so maybe I lean more towards
being an artist", in an interview with
Travel and Destinations.
The demeanor of the artist reflects
how humble he is as a person
which enables him to connect
with everything and everyone
around him. His personality is
soo pleasant and his style of
work is owned by him as he
calls it "Photography with an artistic
twist". The independence in his
craft makes him stand out from the
crowd. Hence we learn taking creative
liberty always puts you a stair
higher.
Rich Mccor celebrates creativity
among the youth and the upcoming
generation. He believes, creativity is
what keeps one going as any career
you pick requires the right amount of
your shades of uniqueness and creative
glow to it. Believing in what art
you curate as a child will teach you
important lessons such as self-belief
and confidence which will further
help you in embodying your
thoughts and ideas unmoved
from reality. He encourages students
to make art and motivates
them to believe in their ideas.
Make your passion your career and
you'll find yourself in love with your
work, more than worrying about
how to make money out of it, think
about how it's going to make you
happy and fulfilled with what you do.
That was a wise message from Rich
that we can take back home.

Maria Mishkareva

@maria.mishkareva
@magzoid.global
"From dancing, vibrating light-filled
passages to richly coloured transparent
darks, from cascading wet
washes to staccato dry brush
effects, watercolours can produce
painting effects which no other
medium can match." ~Anonymous
Watercolours vibe different from
the set, because of the unique
serenity of choice it posses, the
artist holding the brush decides the
severity of the paint and art,
and this brings a personalized
swing of emotions to the
final product.
Ms.Maria Mishkareva (
@maria.mishkareva )
is a watercolour artist
based out in Russia.
Watercolours captured
her interest
and it became
the best and the
most fascinating
material for her
to work with, it
inspired her and
taught her many
life lessons. She
connects memories
of childhood
with all the wondrous
works she
created with watercolours, it is a
material that can be easy and hard
to play along at the same time. The
skill of controlling the amount of
water in the paint is an art in itself.
She says, "The magical world of
water, paints & brushes gives you
that absolute freedom of imagination,
unlimited artistic possibilities,
but at the same time you can’t fail
it, you have to give it justice and do
your best". Maria believes in trying
until what you do is the best output
from your side, exploring your creativity.
Rightly as she says, we have
no control over the flow of life, and
even the paints resemble the characteristics
as the flow colour from
the brush is regulated but cannot be
controlled and sometimes the best
choice is to give up and watch the
path of paint create its magical aura.
Maria shares some important life
lessons she has learned from the
art of working with watercolours,
she delineates about how it teaches
you to deal with loss, accept mistakes
and appreciate subtle beauty.
"The things which inspire me can be
very ordinary – it can be anything
from the pack of carrots from the
supermarket to the light, playing in
my wine glass when I am lost in conversation…
I love to notice and picture
those shades, shadows, lights
we don’t seem to notice in our busy
lives – and I am so grateful that so
many people do appreciate my
work and I hope everyone can see
different beauty for themselves
in my paintings, open something

new to them", this gives us a picture
of how she is connected to her surroundings
and the ambience she is
in, artistic ideas that gush over her
mind amidst an episode in her life
portrays the love and passion she
has for her work.
Maria is an inspiring personality with
a colourful and imaginative range of
thoughts. Her wise words and kind
demeanour leaves a long-lasting
impact just like her elegant pieces
of art.

Dhaval Khatri
“...never give up, no matter what.”
Instagram:
@uniquedhavalkhatri
@magzoid.global
Nothing is impossible! This threeword
sentence has a definition
boundless to creativity, perseverance,
passion, weakness and
strength. What makes you different
depends on what you possess and
what you don't and making it the
strength for the light of elation and
music of passion builds a character
of utmost sincerity, courage and
inspiration to the mass.
Dhaval Khatri is a unique artist who
finds the spirit of light in every corner
of the room, he is a fighter and a
winner of life and its challenges. His
humble and lovable nature brings a
smile on our faces as he paints his
surroundings with immense positivity
and joy. He believes in destiny and
takes control of its steering, and
drives by the road of inspiration and
art that keeps him happy and enthusiastic.
"Hi! I am Dhaval Jyotsnaben Kaushikbhai
Khatri. I am passionate about
my Art. On my website, you can find
some unique arts that I have created
during my life as Artist. This
is unique because I am not Artist
by choice but by chance. At the
age of 14, an electric shock took
my both hands away. Since then I
was not even interested in Art. But
there were two people who took it
the other way, My Mom and My Dad.
When they were expected to put
aid tools they put Paint Brush in my
hands. And today that has created
a Unique Artist out of an ordinary
boy. Please visit my gallery for more
arts and do not forget to provide
your feedback by filling the contact
form." His parents have been the
root to the ever-growing talent in
him since a 14-year-old boy, their
constant support motivated Dhaval
to paint again which helped him find
joy all over again.
He is specialized in acrylic painting,
oil painting and sketching. His
work mostly comprises paintings
and sketches of popular Bollywood
celebrities and Influential Indians.
Dhaval also performs his art on
stage and inspires many young people
to take up art and never give up
no matter what.
Talent is gifted and in Dhaval Khatri's
case, he is the talent and
epitome of hard word,
confidence, perseverance
and love
for his passion,
art. We express
immense joy
and gratitude
in being able
to coordinate
with such an
uplifting personality
as

See Giulio Rangoni’s work on
Instagram at: @kant_onata
Cover Artist - Giulio Rangoni
Art is about reflecting reality. While art may reflect reality, it also acts as an expression of imagination.
Giulio Rangoni is one such artist, who exemplifies the same. Being raised in Italy, Giulio moved to
USA when he was 19 for studying entrepreneurship and innovation. Here’s his views and story as
an artist,
Q. How did your journey as an artist begin?
Giulio: It was at a very early age as my family were having an atelier at our house in Italy, I
used to paint acrylic on canvases, as I was obsessing on the monster figures from my imagination.
During my teenage years I picked up urban photography and I have always wanted a way
to connect to these different artistic worlds that coexisted in my mind. After this period, I have
focused on digital collages which you can find now on my Instagram account “ @kant_onata “
Q. What are the different forms of artworks that you do?
Giulio: I have been working on the digital collages which is a mix of drawing, old paintings,
photography and random fantasy elements. It gives me the possibility to express myself
freely and once my digital works is done, I paint them on canvas to create the final
piece.
Q. What does your work aim to say?
Giulio: “ @kant_onata “ is an artistic project that explores the relationship
between accelerating technological progress creating the basis for material
advancements and the struggle of humanity to find its personal and
cultural identity in this new fast-paced and changing world.
Q. What is that one line of quote that you abide by in your life or
you would like others to follow?
Giulio: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
-John Lennon.
I feel being curious and also taking a flexible approach toward what
happens to us is the best strategy to tackle life. Random little events can
have quite the effect and it is important to recognize small clues as to
when they can start a transformation process in our lives.
Q. Please tell us a bit about an artwork of yours that you are
immensely proud of?
Giulio: The covid series are the works that introduced so many people
to. I received a lot of unexpected attention and my followers kept
texting me that they could relate their very own experience throughout
my work. That was something that happens quite rarely and I
received it quite well.
www.magzoid.com www.artoze.com | | Page Page 30 30
Q. How have you been keeping up
during the pandemic and what are
the new things that you have started?
Giulio: My Covid series are one of the
digital collages series to make the
observer reflect on this pandemic.
The aim is to draw a connecting line
between the old masterpieces of
the past and our current situation in
a humorous yet sophisticated way.
Putting things into perspective by
combining elements and experiences,
by not just pointing out similarities
but also highlighting differences
is something that I have been
focusing upon with them.
Q. What is that one question that
you would have asked yourself and
we haven't yet?
Giulio: Since a long time ago art has
always been a passion of mine but it
was never a full-time job. I wonder if
one day it will take a more prevalent
part in my life.
Q. What are the best resources that
have helped you in your way?
Giulio: A friend of mine,” Mr.Matt Dilapo”
was a key figure for the realization
of the covid series. During quarantine
which we spent in Spain, we
used to interrogate ourselves all the
time and come up with ideas envisioning
pieces that would be both
POP and recognizable but also trigger
questions, inner reflections and
emotions to the observer.
Q. According to you, how important
are Virtual Exhibitions in the present-day
world?
Giulio: Virtual exhibitions are a great
way to keep people involved in the
art scene. I feel both artists and
spectators have a great opportunity
to stay in touch and make new experiences
thanks to this new technology.
Virtual expositions make
art more accessible to the public,
in addition artists can reach larger
audience without being tied up geographically.
Q. How do you feel being the Featured
Artist in the Magazine?
Giulio: It is a brand-new experience
for me. I am super-excited and looking
forward to it and I am grateful
for this opportunity given to me by
MAGZOID.
Q. What message and advice do you
have for the readers?
Giulio: Art is often perceived as
something distant, at times inaccessible.
It is not like that at all.
You can start from simpler ideas
and inspiration is present everywhere.
Concentrate on your intuition
and get moving, by following this
approach you will figure out things
along the way.
Those were some really insightful
words and experiences that Giulio
has pointed out. We encourage
and highly appreciate such actions
where artists come forward to
stand along with the other fellow
community members to share their
experiences and views.

My Brush Strokes
The International Art Exhibition
'My Brush Strokes' was
an event much awaited by
the followers of ARTOZE, the launch
ceremony was indeed an intriguing
and insightful ride over the waves
of thoughts and perceptions that
rippled in discussions and talks that
followed. The event took abode at
5:00 pm, but the participants had
stated joining before in time beginning
from 4:30 pm which was the
joining time.
The art gallery of the previous event,
The International Art Exhibition for
Students 'The Creative Buds' inaugurated
the journey towards the
next. The hosts announced the
social media contest. This instantly
stirred the chatbox with numerous
warm and positive comments which
ignited the spirits of the organizers
even more. The overwhelming
response on social media, where the
meeting participants posted photos
on Instagram tagging @magzoid.global
that day was a fulfilling
achievement accomplished via the
event.
All guest speakers were in attendance
and there was an engaging
chat with John Hui about how the
www.magzoid.com | Page 32
previous event was essential as it
nurtures and encourages a passion
for art in a tender age before being
wrapped in creative blocks and hindrances
of life, which will eventually
open doors of self-discovery for
them.
The entire pace and excitement
of the event hyped as the current
exhibition gallery was presented,
this also included, how one can walk
through the gallery on their own as
well, this resulted in a remarkable
outpour of response from the audience
in the chatbox. The temperatures
raised as the enthusiasm
among the audience fired.
Following was the introduction of all
the panel members one by one in the
following order, all of them actively
took part in discussions during the
event which certainly enlightened
everyone sharing and receiving
thoughts.
Mr. Eric Dailey was our First Guest,
he is from the United States of
America and is the President of the
International Basketball Tournament
at ESPN Wide World of Sports at
Walt Disney World resorts Orlando
in the US, Global Cup World Championship.
Mr.Eric is also the President
of International company, Dailey
Training International. These companies
operate out of three continents
around the world, Europe, Asia
and South America. He is a native
Floridian with roots in Ocala. Also,
a 1994 graduate and four-year letterman
and team captain at (TCU)
Texas Christian University which led
to a ten (10) year professional basketball
career in Europe, Asia, and
South America. Mr. Dailey perceived
a creative vision coordinating the
legacy of peace and social tolerance
through international basketball.
It was truly a pleasure to have him
aboard on the journey with ARTOZE.
Our next Guest joined all the way
from India, Mr. Suvigya Sharma, he
has been awarded the Bharat Gaurav
Award and has been felicitated by
Asia Book Of Records, India Book Of
Records, Limca Book of Records. He
is a miniature and portrait artist and
a fashion designer known for his artworks
across the globe. He paints
intricate Miniature artworks from
a coin size to a life-size using the
same miniature painting technique
with 24-carat gold. He commissions
artworks for well-renowned personalities
like HH Sheikh Mohammed

Dubai and Vice President of Dubai,
Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra
Modi, Honourable President of India
Shri Ramnath Kovind Sir, Mr Sachin
Tendulkar, Justin Bieber(Pop Singer)
and many more.
An artist from the land of the setting
sun, Spain Mr.Juandres Vera from
Spain. He is an International 3D artist
and a very well renowned street
artist who has a history of some
really big brands in his kit, some of
which include Nike, Walt Disney and
many more. He has also been featured
in the Guinness Book of World

street painting on the pavement, 6

awards from urban art projects

The career of Juandres kickstarted
after winning first prize in two consecutive
contests while studying
for his Bachelor of Visual Arts, Vera
participated in a Street Art contest.
Our next guest Mr. John Hui from
London has been sought after by
many among the participants here
today as one of their favourite artists.
His artworks defamiliarize the
subject depicted through abstraction
and surrealism in an effort to
convey an uncanny sense of beauty
that challenges social archetypes.
His latest project includes blog publications
that are centred around
sharing stories, thoughts and art
that are related to our most innate
human connections such as love,
pain and compassion to empower
others. His artworks have an uncommon
sense of innate portrait of
thoughts depicted visually.
We also took a dive into asking the
panellists about their respective
fields, which indeed became an
inspiration for many among the participants
of the event.
Upcoming Guest of Honour Articles
Eric shared his experience through
the journey of his career, he said he
has always been very passionate
about sports and also the business
side of the industry which actually
led him to create the empire
he owns today. Eric’s answer for
potential plans of revival was very
inspiring and motivating, the piece
of advice was simple but something
very essential, he stated that
this newfound free time should not
be taken for granted and everyone
should actually focus on improving
themselves and prepare for
the next best thing, as you never
know when that might come!
Mr.Suvigya has a niche style of art,
on being asked about his unique talent
and expertise he shared that he
was born into an artistic family and
the craft was passed down from
generation to generation and he felt
a calling to miniature paintings as it
was like an understated style.
John owns his style of art, it is a variation
from the others in the crowd,
its a blend of different forms that
intrigued the audience and all of us
as well.
He elaborated and said that it was
a mix of surrealism and abstraction
and he also shared that he always
wanted to make his artwork look
realistic but was also never into
the idea of traditional paintings and
enjoyed creating his own art style.
The exceptional participation from
the audience about their individual
art styles was such a breath of fresh
air filled with the vibrancy of creativity
and passion, each member from
the audience had something uplifting
to say. The audience also had
some reflective questions to ask
the panellists.
The panel discussion went on with
a wave of experiences, laughs,
thoughts, journeys, perceptions, art
and more, it was a time at its best on
a Monday evening.

Guest of Honour
Eric Dailey
We love those moments,
watching sports matches
on our television with
our families all huddled up. It brings
a feeling of joy and tense electricity
in the room, with everybody
rooting for different teams. As we
watch players give in their all in the
game, their sweat, blood and tears
materialize into raw talent, we keep
ourselves entertained by these
national treasures. What many of
us forget to realize is the immeasurable
hard-work and dedication that
goes behind it. Their talent and skills
are incomplete without adequate
training given to them by the most
exemplary mentors, who always
keep pushing them to be the best
versions of themselves; to always
keep rising past the failures and
hoping for more.
Our first guest of honor for the evening,
Mr.Eric Dailey is the President
of the only International Basketball
Tournament at ESPN Wide World of
Sports at Walt Disney World resorts
Orlando in US organized annually,
Global Cup World Championship.
He is also the President of another
International company, Dailey Training
International. Both companies
operate out of three continents
around the world, Europe, Asia and
South America. He is a former professional
basketball player with
over 10 years professional playing
experience. He is a native Floridian
with roots in Ocala. Also, a 1994
graduate and four-year letterman
and team captain at (TCU) Texas
Christian University which led to
a ten (10) year professional basketball
career in Europe, Asia, and
South America. Mr.Dailey perceived
a creative vision coordinating the
legacy of peace and social tolerance
through international basketball. He
believes art and sports go hand in
hand since they require the similar
work ethics and the possess the
beauty of bringing out human life
and experience.
This pandemic has turned all of our
lives upside down, throwing us into
a completely unexpected loop which
many find difficult to come out of.
It’s been a moment of losing and
finding yourselves at the same time
and finding motivation to keep going
on during these trying times. Mr.
Dailey left us with some precious
advice for during and post pandemic.
His words couldn’t be better said
in game terms, ‘To make a comeback’.
This time right now that we
have, during which we’re immersed
in listening, watching and hoping
everything gets back to normal and
are so absorbed in our surroundings,
preparing for a comeback
with a better and more
self-content version of
yourself if the best that
you can do. This is a
time to rejuvenate as
well as train yourself
to be a masterpiece.
His calm manner
shadowing
years of experience
and hardwork
taught
us a lot about
humble greatness
and
the will and
strive to keep going on and bettering
one’s self. It was truly a pleasure
having him with us.

Suvigya sharma
Something about seeing the
detailed miniature versions of
real life objects and paintings
leaves us in awe. Seeing a
person’s prized perspective on such
things presented in a highly oriented
and flawless mini version can be
really humbling and mindboggling at
the same time. It is an art of its own,
a souvenir, an ode to finding beauty
in the small things of life.
Our second Guest joined all the way
from India, Mr.Suvigya Sharma. He
has been awarded the Bharat Gaurav
Award and has been felicitated by
Asia Book Of Records, India Book
Of Records, Limca Book of Records.
He is a multi-talent, a miniature and
portrait artist and a fashion designer
known for his artworks across
the globe. He paints intricate Miniature
artworks from a coin size to a
life-size using the same miniature
painting technique with 24-carat
gold. He commissions artworks for
well-renowned personalities like
HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, The Ruler of Dubai and
Vice President of Dubai, Prime Minister
of India Shri Narendra Modi, Honourable
President of India Shri Ramnath
Kovind Sir, Mr.Sachin Tendulkar,
Justin Bieber(Pop Singer) and many
more.
He shared with us a piece of his
work ethic. What keeps him going is
the meaning behind every artwork
of his. Even though the detailing
and work that goes in is very time
consuming, the end product is one
that leaves people breathless and
serves as a feeling of pride for Suvigya.
Learning across the way has
been his biggest achievement, as
he is constantly picking up and bettering
his methods. His experience
and confidence all this way has
instilled in him a great sense of aesthetics
that he incorporates in his
work in the most beautiful manner.
We are always honored to have
someone of his stature with so
much international recognition and
achievements. The lessons and
inspiration gained from him was not
only a motivating source for us but
everyone present. All budding artists
were eager to know the secrets
behind this artistic talent. It was
truly a pleasure have him.

Juandres Vera
The human eyes are a marvel
capturing marvels of the
world around them. A diamond
inside a Pandora box. Yet some of
the beauty around us still takes
some time to grasp. Despite seeing
it a couple of times, we’re still
hit with a certain awe seeing the
beauty around us. The greatness
and vastness of things are difficult
to digest for the human mind and
yet there are those amongst us who
bring out this magnificent splendor
in the most sophisticated and real
manner.
We were honored to have with us one
such talented artist from the land of
the setting sun, who's hailing from
Spain. He is an International 3D artist
and a very well renowned street
artist who has a history of some
really big brands in his kit, some of
which includes Nike, Walt Disney
and many more. He has been featured
in the Guinness Book of World
Records for ephemeral anamorphic
street painting on the pavement, 6
x 140 meters. He has obtained several
awards from urban art projects
on both ephemeral and permanent
murals in two-dimensional mode and
anamorphic mode (3D) in countries
such as Dubai, United States, United
Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Holland,
Belgium, Thailand, among others.
The career of Juandres kick started
after winning first prize in two consecutive
contests while studying
for his Bachelor of Visual Arts, Vera
participated in a Street Art contest.
He briefed us about the technicalities
and the exquisiteness of
3D art and giant art mediums. This
doesn’t only requires artistic skills
www.magzoid.com | Page 46
but also the intellectual capability
to see from different perspectives
and angles and have a unique point
of view on the artwork. It isn’t an
easy branch of art since one painting
can take up to six or seven days
and can be challenging especially in
outdoor environment under natural
elements. He has been working on
this since ten years and has gained
respectable experience in his field.
His experience with it is his best
teacher as it has help him gain confidence
and blossomed his innate
instincts to keep creating something
unique.
We are grateful to be in his presence
and learn inspiring lessons of great
artistic ability and drive.

Resurgence: The world after pandemic
Healing and rejuvenation starts
from within and begins with
hope. It’s a spiritual and mental journey
that gives our physical bodies
the boost to revive and come out
stronger through tough times; to
make a comeback like never before.
Taking lessons about your surroundings
and yourself and moving forward
with these priceless gems to
imagine and lead a better tomorrow
is the way to go. It isn’t always the
easiest since the pressure of it all
can weigh a person down, but with
dedication and optimistic approach
to life, one can blossom and flourish
through the gloomy days.
We have been capturing life and
talent during this grave pandemic.
During this time where spirits may
be running low and circumstances
seem hard, we are here to offer artists
and budding talents an opportunity
to rejuvenate and explore their
artistic sides through their visions
for life after the pandemic. On some
days things may seem better, while
on some the world may look like it’s
falling apart, but the true perception
of how we adjust and live our
lives after this chaos is through the
unique lens of each individual and
how they decide to thrive.
Our latest expedition is the online
international art exhibition, ‘Towards
The Change’ for artists of all ages
across the globe. The dominant
theme of the event and artworks are
‘Resurgence- Life After The Pandemic’.
It will take place on 27th of October,
2020 which is on a Sunday and
the artworks will be showcased in an
online art virtual gallery. Our online

Save The Animals
They walked the planet long
before us and inhibited it in all
its glory and peace. Through changing
weathers, climates and periods,
diverse species of animals have
evolved and graced their home,
Planet Earth. Along with human civilization
came the industrialization.
What should’ve been a codependent
chain became a predatory pattern
risking extinction of many species.
Our settlements haven’t only been a
threat to them but their homes too,
with forests and deserts, water bodies
and mountains being reduced
in area to pave way for human life.
The realization and active need for
conservation of animal life and protection
has become evident and
been made a priority in our current
generation. October 4th is celebrated
as World Animal Day and we wanted
to honor this special occasion by
having our International Virtual Art
Exhibition themed ‘Save The Animals’.
The last day of registration is
28th September, 2020. The exhibition
will be conducted on 4th October,
2020 itself.
Registration Link:
http://tiny.cc/love-animals
We are honored and excited to see
what all our participants will have in
store for us and their unique outlook
on empathy, compassion, acceptance
and change towards the fauna
around us. Their keenness to
create awareness about saving the
animals can be expressed through
their wonderful art which speaks
volumes more than words ever will.
Acceptance and appreciation are
the booming factors for any artists
and we ensure those with
a network of art lovers who are
ready to back you up. Participation
in the exhibition also guarantees
international recognition and outstanding
visibility. Every participant
will be awarded with a certificate
of participation as a token of
their hard work and involvement.
We’re excited to have everyone and
experience this one of a kind event
with us. Join us while we celebrate
this noble cause with art and colors,
adding a human touch to the life of
our planet. Give voices to those who
cannot speak with your artwork. We
are simply pleased and excited to
meet those with vibrant thoughts
to paint. We are constantly making
efforts to give you the best online
global exhibition experience. We
wish you all the very best and look
forward to see you all.

Art captures all forms of life.
It captures every area of life,
the beautiful glossy parts
as well as the dark ugly ones. The
confusing ones that challenge the
set social norms of our societies.
It brings out what even words are
unable to convey. It has this sort of
power that brings about hope within
people and a therapy of some sort.
In these times of digital progress,
graphic designing has been on the
rise with its own beauty hidden in its
web of intricacies.
Our guest of honor Mr.John Hui from
London has been sought after by
many among the participants here
today as one of their favorite artists.
John is an artist and graphic
designer based in London. His works
defamiliarise the subject depicted
through abstraction and surrealism
in an effort to convey an uncanny
sense of beauty that challenges
social archetypes.
His latest project includes blog
publications that are centered on
sharing stories, thoughts and art
that are related to our most innate
human connections such as love,
pain and compassion in an effort to
empower others. He is one among
the highly looked for and sought
after artist. His artworks have an
uncommon sense of innate portrait
of thoughts depicted visually.
ing up artwork and digital art again.
For him just the idea that a person
could be sitting in their room and
creating such magic out of the simplicities
of life is inspiring. He loves
being original with his paintings and
tries to use materials in their own
unique way and add a special touch.
The message of a piece is always
one of utter importance. For him this
holds a special place in his heart. For
every piece to have its own message
and story which helps in connecting
with people. Each painting
represents a specific person and
where they come from. The beauty
of the painting lies in the seeing
greatness in every person.
He resonates a lot, since his current
project also revolves around
connecting with people and their
stories of pain and vulnerability
through art. It meant so much to us
that he too felt a connection with
us and that we’re set out on similar
paths. It was truly an honor to have
him with us..

See Supriti Chauhan’s work
on the following page!
“Inspire and Empower”
Featured artist - Supriti Chauhan
The laburnum tree is the personification
of life and beauty; it
is a part of nature that stands out
because of its vibrant yellow shades.
The golden chain tree is home to the
rainbow of wildlife. With all the love
and grace the tree carries, it tends
to reflect more on the canvas of
Supriti Chauhan, an Indian artist and
educator based out in India.
Supriti Chauhan connects to the
heart of nature which explains the
secret of originality and inspiring
beauty brimming in all her paintings.
Her work aims at bringing enlightenment
and the urge to admire and
find the beauty of our surroundings,
that we have probably forgotten in
our mundane lives. Her paintings
bring an insightful tinge of excitement
in our perspective of nature,
it germinates the buried feelings
for the rain, flowers, foliage and the
little visitors who play an important
role keeping this world together in
one piece. It is an experience that
holds true to the visual appeal of a
naturalistic and artistic view. Her
work drives you to seek inspiration
from nature and value the essence
of what you own.
She believes that nature has the
power to transform you if you allow
it to, one has to embrace it the
way it is and that’s when the magic
begins to unravel- of the restorative
and spiritual realm of a world within
you, in sync with nature. She enjoys
www.magzoid.com | Page 56
gardening and encourages
her audience to do
the same as it is important
to adopt sustainable
practices that help you
lead a healthier life by
developing organic eating
habits. In her view
this is very much possible
even though it may
seem like a long haul.
If you truly love nature,
you will find beauty
everywhere"- Vincent
Van Gogh. He has
remained to be her all
time inspiration for the
way he captures the
intricacies of nature
in his perspective and
then to the canvas. She
also loves Claude Monet's works for
the way he plays around with light,
colors and how it influences human
emotions. She has forever been
intrigued by their techniques of capturing
nature and portraying it the
most appealing way possible.
Pictured above: Artist, Supriti Chauhan
Focus and concentration are important
parts of not only student life but
also the life in a world outside the
comfort zone. It is essential to be
pressed and motivated to achieve
the set goals in life and attaining
them helps one discover oneself
like a book of mysteries. In Supriti
Chauhan’s view, art teaches students
to be focused as one perseveres
through any creative endeavor
or a medium, focus is imperative;
one becomes more purposeful striving
towards a planned and intended
outcome. She believes art helps
children in developing important
characteristics that they will need
as adults- creativity and imagination,
communication, collaboration,
confidence, critical thinking, problem
solving apart from patience and
aesthetics. The list is endless.
This shows how as an educator she
focuses not just on the academic
excellence of a student but also
acknowledges and embraces the
creative and artistic instincts of a
“Inspire and Empower”
Artist Stories: Supriti Chauhan
springing young talent and the fact
that she has been able to successfully
juggle between her profession,
family and creative endeavors gives
her a high. It makes her feel proud
to be able to learn something new
every single day.
Her message to other artists is
simply just effective and inspiring,
she encourages and urges creative
minds to start their journey, and
not wait for that one moment or
that perfect art supply. She says,
"Just start, flow with it and let the
magic of colors take over." Pursuing
your passion that brings you joy
and helps you rejuvenate and heal
yourself is nothing wrong, she asks
other artists to take colors as their
guide and travel through the unravelling
journey they take you through.
She believes challenging yourself
to paint every day can make a big
difference as consistency is key to
the uphill ride. She considers participation
in art challenges and interaction
with the online community
members (this is exactly what we at
ARTOZE aim at) as a method to stay
consistent with your daily practice
and keep you inspired throughout
the adventure.
Art is not a career for Supriti Chauhan,
it is a retreat. She is an educator
by profession. ‘Laburnum Soul’, is
something that takes her away from
it all and helps her destress, heal
and feel rejuvenated every single
morning, brimming with new ideas
not only at her work-place but also
in all her creative endeavors.
Being a soul stringed to nature, she
has taken various steps in this lockdown
to contribute to the mother
earth. She learned to grow her own
microgreens in a limited space and
practice hydroponics. The Pandemic
also led her to become more mindful
in the garbage disposal system and
she has adopted more sustainable
practices for the same.
We conclude by quoting the words
of the Supriti Chauhan "Nature is
mindful and restorative. All these
practices are reflective and evident
in my artworks."
We encourage and highly appreciate
such actions where artists come
forward to stand along with the
other fellow community members
to share their experiences, views
and knowledge through "Inspire and
Empower", a series By the Artists,
For the Artists in association with
ARTOZE Gallery and Exhibitions.

Art Beyond Art Supplies
The COVID-19 has imprinted
major shifts in every aspect
of our lives, making up to the
changes that waved over and lending
a helping hand to one another has
become an important part in keeping
the world running in harmony amidst
all the other emergencies befalling
around us. The pandemic has made a
difference in the functioning of artists
in all fields, this has led to the
closing of museums, cancellation of
concerts and shoots, unavailability
of art supplies and street artists are
unable to perform on the sidewalks
due to the stay at home restrictions.
Being out of supplies or not having
the usual assets that help you
spread your wings of creativity
shouldn't hinder your artistic expression
on canvas or anywhere else for
that matter. Here are different ways
in which you can still be creative
with the resources you already have
lying around your house. Let's make
something extraordinary out of the
ordinary!
1Best out of waste
Bottles, CD's, plastic,
polythene bags, newspapers,
used sheets and
many more recyclable and reusable
materials occupy so much space in
our homes. Using these basic items
we can create wondrous artworks.
Children can also take up activities
like this which will instill the idea of
saving our nature, this will encourage
them to abide by the rules of the
four R's. Doing something creative
and sculpting artistic pieces out of
waste materials like old paintbrushes,
plastic and glass to place them
around your house gives a different
artsy and personalized vibe. This is
called 'junk art or 'recycled art'.
2Making textured
paper
This is a fun activity everyone
has been this quarantine!
Making textured paper is worth
the effort as you have the choice to
create paper moulding to your preference
of thickness, colour, shape,
patterns and texture. This is how
you can make textured paper;
1. Soak small pieces of paper in
water overnight
2. Blend this mixture in a blender
(Optional- You can add colour)
3. Strain the pulp out into a mould
4. Leave it for drying overnight
5. And now you have them ready!
3Art with makeup
This is a major trend of this
decade, makeup is nothing
less than complicated
art supplies and you have yourself
as the canvas. Drawing illusionistic
and perspective art on yourself
with makeup has become the most
popular art and cosmetic trend on
social media platforms like Instagram
today. This requires hours of
patience and skill to work in intricate
details of the whole art. Most social
media influencers and makeup artists
have ventured into this form, it
is interesting to watch a video with
groovy soundtracks in the background
where artists are displaying
their skills in face art with makeup.

“Inspire and Empower”
Featured artist - Mihcelle Gonzalez
Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher
was once quoted saying,
“The aim of art is not to represent
the outward appearance of
things, but their inward significance.”
Apart from the superficial aspect of
art, it always holds a deep meaning
with its creator. A purpose, reflection
or a special message. The beauty
of art is when others viewing the
artwork can find this link, or have
their own interpretation of what it
means to them and use this to their
advantage. Use this perspective to
hone their own demons and bloom
their individualistic identities.
Art has been excessively used in the
field of psychology. From psychological
analysis to artistic therapy,
its benefits and contribution have
been seen on a large scale. Artistic
expression has been very useful to
those suffering from depression,
anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder
etc. Art therapy can be valuable
in navigating anxiety. It can become
another healthy tool in our collection
whether you are suffering from
anxiety that is occasional or chronic.
One big benefit of art therapy is its
ability to calm the nervous system.
When we’re focused on creating, our
attention shifts away from worrisome
ruminations. For many artists,
holding on to these healing properties
of art is essential to their work.

itself. The main art form
that she specializes in is
watercolors. Her Instagram
page is a proof of
all her beautiful current
trends, ranging from
loose floral to botanical
watercolor. The lightness
and airiness of her
brush strokes can be
felt through her paintings.
With depictions of
birds to picturesque floral
paintings sprawled all
over her feed, it is truly a
sight for sore eyes.
Every artist wants to
send a message through
their art. To know that
someone out there
connects with your work and that
it helps them in some way is the
best gift one can receive. Her aim
is to inspire watercolor beginners
through her art, as well as those who
are using art to manage their stress
or anxiety, or use art as therapy for
mental or physical health.
Michelle has been painting with
watercolors since 2018. She painted
on sketchbooks almost every day
to learn more about the medium and
also to cope with her own stress
and anxiety. In 2019, a wonderful
miniature painter and modern cal-

ligrapher, Niña Hidalgo, invited her
to have art challenges collaboration
with her and an amazing art supplies
business, Hue & Ai. This experience
motivated her to continue engaging
with her followers with more art
challenges. Later on, she found herself
connecting with more artists
and art brands. Latter part of 2019,
she started to teach on Skillshare
and it has been a remarkable journey
since then.
Self-perseverance and belief in
your abilities takes one a long way.
Michelle’s personal growth through-
“Inspire and Empower”
Artist Stories: Michelle Gonzalez
out her art journey is one that seeps
immense pride into her. She was not
fortunate to have support from her
parents to pursue her love for fine
arts when she was younger, and so
what she currently is and has, is
something that she never thought
she would achieve. At her age, she
never thought she would ever
become creative again. She thought
her skills were lost and is so glad
that she has evolved and improved
through the last couple of years. To
see that someone could rise up and
succeed despite the lack of support
from the strongest unit of family in
their lives, really sparks a flicker of
hope within people. Such stories
restore their belief and confidence
in their own skills.
During this pandemic, when hope
and motivation are on an all-time
low, Michelle along with Moonster
Handmade Leather and an art friend
who she greatly admires, has initiated
an art challenge to spread
positive messages for front liners
all over the world, #apartbuttogetherinart.
Through this art challenge,
artists were encouraged to post
their artworks dedicated to front
liners. The winner receives a prize
for themselves and another one for
the front liner of their choice. This
also ensures to create a priceless
support system between those who
are on the front lines and the rest of
us. It is a sense of appreciation and
gratitude, as well as a token for their
endless hard work and dedication to
saving lives.
Her message to other artists is
through commending everyone who
create artworks because this benefits
not just themselves but others
as well. Their commitment to creating
art not only gives them growth,
joy, and so many emotional, physical,
and psychological benefits, it also
gives everyone else the feeling of
wonder, inspiration, and joy. During
this chaotic time, they can use their
gift to spread positive energy into
this world.
Art gives students a unique perspective
into anything. It widens
their imagination, breaks boundaries
and enables them to go out of
the box. Her advice to students out
there would be to keep trying, never
think it to be too late to venture into
their artistic capabilities and realize
the power that art holds.
We encourage and highly appreciate
such actions where artists come
forward to stand along with the
other fellow community members
to share their experiences, views
and knowledge through "Inspire and
Empower", a series By the Artists,
For the Artists in association with
ARTOZE Gallery and Exhibitions.
