Agostina writes to translate the invisible. Her practice stems from a vital need: to understand what she feels, to give shape to what does not yet have a name. She writes so as not to forget, to echo what beats, to return—again and again—to life.

Her writing is nourished by loss, but also by the tenderness that lingers after pain. It is a constant attempt to weave meaning between what is gone and what remains. Memory, the body, heritage, and transformation appear in her texts; she writes as one who seeks to touch with words what cannot be touched with hands.

Her influences come from the books that always inhabited her home—those silent presences that called to her ear and her gaze—and from other disciplines that dialogue with her writing: photography, the textures and colours of clothing, everyday gestures. She is also inspired by the green and blue of nature, subtle sounds, aromas, the touch and taste of things.

Her creative practice is, above all, a space for listening—gentle. For her, writing is recording what pulsates in the smallest things, in what is barely hinted at. It is an act of faith in language, in its power to unite, heal, and reveal.

Giulia Leonelli (b.1985) is a French/Italian artist who holds a doctorate degree in Visual Arts from University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where she teaches as a printmaking instructor. After a BFA in Fine Arts at Rome University of Fine Arts, she enrolled at Sorbonne University in Paris. In 2012, she was chosen as a recipient for the French/American “Young Talents” award, for which she attended the MFA Studio Art Program at New York University.

Her doctoral thesis Entendre le pictural discusses the temporal understanding of an artwork by experiencing its unfolding as space and time, and the implications of rhythm and sensation as philosophical attributes of art.

Her work is oriented toward a pictorial approach of printmaking, led by a musical aspiration and a poetic intent. Giulia Leonelli’s process is driven by a tension towards the unresolved and fluctuating qualities of forms, suggesting a sense of flowing that figures both the material elements and effects as well as a reference to the passing of time.

Writing also plays a crucial role in the artist’s creative process. The composition of poetic texts follows a parallel path to the creation of engraved images; both are driven by the same quest for poetic abstraction.

The memory of a landscape, of an environment, comes to surface within an agglomeration of lines, or of an aquatint texture. The engraved shapes pursue the physical expression of a place without aiming for resemblance or for a figurative rendering. The pattern gives back to the paper something that could rather rejoin the curve of a sound.

Christina O’Hara (b. 2000) is an Irish, mixed media artist. Her work is a window into the connections between found materials and her internal experience of fragmented connections. She explores the subluxed connections of a defective structure and the vulnerability of the human form. As someone with a condition affecting the structural protein in her body, she gains a sense of empowerment through her work.

Christina is inspired by collecting found materials from her environment which resonate with her, acting as keystones to represent physiological elements. She experiments with ways in which she can connect pieces together to act as a mechanism to bind tissues into a structure. An intuitive process of knotting, stitching and interlocking demonstrates a fragile, lax, disjointed internal connection.

“As a contemporary artist, I am challenged by the use of technology in the present day. That is why the materiality of my work focuses on the use of various technological elements, reinterpreted and given new meaning. Through these elements, I attempt to construct, in conjunction with others, a narrative distinct from the one that new technologies and their uses have accustomed us to.

I like to say that my intention as an artist is to move towards a pixelated embrace in a technologically advanced present.”

Patricia Canino is a contemporary artist who experiments the photographic medium both in its ability to create meaning and in its materiality. By using a cross-section of techniques to liberate herself from them, she creates unprecedented forms that reveal the extent of her reflections. She uses photography and its tools as means to achieve aesthetic experiences that simultaneously serve as experiences of distancing from reality, constantly seeking the gap between our perception of the world as we see it and how it presents itself.

Nora Mauroy (b. 1995) is a Norwegian artist based between Brussels and Oslo. Working across performance, film, photography, text and sculpture she examines themes of digital staging, intimacy and female stereotypes. Through the repetition of her own image she explores the performative nature of contemporary portraiture.

The last two years she has mainly focused on the trope of women and cats, particularly surrounding women in their late twenties and early thirties who are single, childless, and choose to live with pets. This research stems from a longing to understand attachment, relationships, and desire through a female gaze.

As an elongation of this research she’s at bEam arts to document the feline company of the streets in Thessaloniki, and their daily lives beyond the boundaries of a single household.

Denice O’ Flynn is driven by the sense of well-being that comes from being in nature and with finding myself absorbed in creating. Her artwork, using acrylic paint, printing and collage, is a reflection of joy, peace and a deep connection to nature. Immersed in the process, she finds a meditative space where creativity becomes a path to healing and self-discovery. Through colour, texture, and movement, she expresses the wholeness of mind, body and soul. Denice hopes that her work can enable others to feel the joy and connection that she strives to express.

This is the forth video of our resident artists video series.

Chiara Rebolino approaches urban exploration as an artistic practice. She collects traces from the city and searches for the hidden language of it. Her main question is how language and communication work within urban space. From her dérive in the city of Thessaloniki, a multimedia installation emerges, made up of photographs, audio recordings, clay prints from urban objects and a printed book in which she reconstructs the material of her exploration, giving another level of interpretation to her urban recordings. She consciously creates a non-linear narrative, with contradictions between her material, wanting to demonstrate precisely the multiplicity of interpretations and forces that shape the condition of language in urban space.

This is the third video of our resident artists video series.

Burcu Perçin , through the series of paintings entitled “Change of Direction”, turns her gaze to the underwater landscape. Approaching underwater life as an unseen and largely unexplored world, she wants to depict the beauty, vulnerability but also the strength of these invisible ecosystems. Through research on underwater biodiversity, submerged structures and underwater archaeology, she wants to highlight the underwater landscape as something precious, worthy of respect and protection from harmful human activity. Furthermore, through the examination of the traces left by humans underwater, it brings to light the fascinating resilience of natural habitats and their ability to create new living conditions for marine species even under adverse conditions.
