Affordable Art Fair

We are thrilled to be participating for the first time in this year’s Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam.

Please visit us at Booth A11

We are delighted to present a collection of dynamic and exciting artists! Our booth will be a vibrant display of diverse works by various artists, including Bea Sarrias, Hanie Soltani and Lavely Miller among many others.

Bea Sarrias is an artist from Barcelona who uses a realistic technique that takes its main references from American realism of the 20th century. She is particularly interested in the modernity of conceptual terms and pays close attention to the careful handling of perspective, light, color, and a clean brushwork regarding formal terms. There is an underlying theme of architecture as a tool to express light. Despite the complete lack of human figures in her portrayals of specific architectonic spaces, Sarrias is able to evoke the sense of inhabitation through her representations of interior spaces. This allows the viewer to glimpse the intention of bringing the living subjects that have created a memory of the place through the objects that compose the scenes.

Hanie Soltani, from Tehran, is known for her intimate portraits of women, which show the beauty and the complexities of human emotion. She is fascinated by human existence and knows precisely how to capture its essence. Soltani uses a mix of medias to compose her scenes, from gauche to oil and pencil drawings on a variety of different supports such as hand-toned paper, wooden panels or paperboard.

Lavely Miller, an American artist, paints portraits (with her index finger!) that narrate the effects of trauma, exploring visual cues that speak to loss, suffering, recovery and salvation. Physically still, her figures exist in moments of emotional action, their frequently direct gazes challenge the viewer’s attention. This sense of movement is translated through transparent layers of glazes, sometimes upward of 100 separate applications of color combining to create the final surface. The quality of layering is heightened by the use of paper, as it moves and crinkles during its application to create physical depth. ⁠
