Lorena Lepori’s figurative oil paintings have a narrative based on the representation of feminine figures beyond gender, relating to everybody who can express the power of femininity. She uses cross-dressing to reach out and create iconic alter egos to expand and embrace a hidden part of her models’ personality through look transformation. She relies on myths, fairytales and clichés challenging the traditional representation of the matters, re-introducing them in a contemporary setting, mixing old and new symbols to relate more with universal concepts.

Lisa Fricker is a celebrated American artist, recognized for her portrait and figure paintings that explore the intricate connections between people and the natural world. Her work is characterized by a mastery of color, dazzling light handling, realism, expressive texture, and a sense of randomness.
Fricker describes her artistic practice as being driven by curiosity, compulsion, and complexity. She seeks to capture the human experience within the vastness of the universe, and to express the "vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action". Her distinctive compositions often combine traditional portraiture with painterly abstraction. She also finds inspiration in exploring the balance of chaos and control, compositional geometry, and the exploration of color in her work.

Ellen Starr Lyon is a figurative painter focusing on modern portraiture that revolves around feminism, motherhood, and coming of age. Her naturalist painting style incorporates a colorful palette and multiple thin, luminous layers capturing her models in natural light. Lyon uses her own photography to catch unguarded moments that are translated into oil paintings showing glimpses of emotion on the faces of those around her. Lyon champions vulnerability as strength while showing it as our common language. Her Red Glove Series depicts her teenage daughter wearing bright red rubber gloves and a defiant expression to talk about the next generation’s fight for reproductive rights. She has work in the permanent collection of the Evansville Museum, UC Irvine, and Indiana University. Lyon has been invited to the Pouch Cove Artist Residency in July of 2024.

Rodrigo De la Sierra, born in Mexico City in 1971, is an accomplished artist who calls his birthplace home. Armed with a Bachelor’s in Architecture and a Creativity course from Universidad del Valle de México, he initially practiced as an architect for over a decade. Yet, his artistic journey took a turn when he pursued Plastic Arts for four years, engaging in workshops that honed his craft, including Materials and Patina Techniques, Sculpture, and more at the esteemed Pippal’s Sculpture and Art Circle.
Further enriching his skills, De la Sierra sought formal training in modeling, wood carving, molds and casting, and figurative sculpture at Universidad Iberoamericana. This period marked the foundation of his artistic mastery, subsequently complemented by a self-driven exploration.
In recognition of his exceptional contributions, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México granted him an Honorary Doctorate in 2016. This honor prompted the Architecture and Design Faculty of UAEM to name the Art Plaza as “Timoteo” in his honor. The significance of his endeavors was reaffirmed in 2018 when Lotería Nacional dedicated a draw to his iconic character, Timoteo, celebrating both his professional trajectory and philanthropic work. The same year, Timoteo graced the national Post Stamp, commemorating “World Post Day.”
De la Sierra’s brilliance didn’t escape Forbes magazine’s attention, which ranked him among the Top 10 in the list of 100 Most Creative Mexicans in the world in 2021. Presently, his art adorns exhibitions in diverse locations including Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Puebla, Xalapa, Chicago, and various cities in South Korea and Malaysia. Through his architectural origins and sculptural metamorphosis, Rodrigo De la Sierra has carved a captivating legacy that spans continents, enriching both the artistic and societal landscapes.
