Miguel Sopena is an artist and photographer originally from Valencia, Spain, but now based in Croydon, South London. He decided to change direction and become an artist as he was finishing his doctorate in theoretical physics at Sussex University in Southern England. Miguel went on to complete a part-time Fine Art Foundation BTEC at City College Brighton and Hove and a Portraiture diploma at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. A highly experimental artist, Miguel combines his ongoing interest in figuration with a developing abstract language in which he explores themes of memory, emotion, and the passage of time. Colour, composition, and the material properties of the painting medium itself are key to Miguel’s painting process.

Anne von Freyburg’s practice rethinks textile and the decorative within the tradition of painting. It embraces and subverts the female gaze, the feminine and pretty. Historically, craft and decoration have been perceived as lesser than the “intellectual” fine arts. By combining them, von Freyburg challenges this underlying hierarchical system.
