Watercolors by Chiara Aime

Chiara Aime was born in 1991 in Cuneo, a small town in northern Italy, where she currently lives. She attended the Art School and since 2010 has taken part in numerous collective and solo exhibitions. Her painting is an expression of the highly introspective nature of the mind, delivered from the soul, and is supported by a great passion for drawing and graphics.

As for inspiration, normally I listen to my emotions knowing that I have to catch them quickly, because they keep changing. I do a sketch immediately, or just a simple description of my “feel”. After this, I make a  sketch and I try to mentally imagine what I’ve written or drawn. This process produces an introspective sort of “snapshot” of the subject’s mind, It may be confusing, but this is my starting point. In this stage, I try to find the “model” or something real that is as close as possible to my mental image. The model can be everywhere: from life or from photos. I usually use the photos that I find on the Internet, or take the pictures myself. My paintings communicate the movements of the soul.

Unique view of Hong Kong in watercolors by Tse Rainbow

Rainbow Tse Lok-yau is a very talented 18-years-old student in Renaissance College from Hong Kong, a newbie to the art scene. Recently she been named the top Visual Artist for Student of the Year. 

Rainbow specializes in watercolors, painting atmospheric landscapes of Hong Kong streets. She uses a technique called “wet-on-wet” where she paints quickly on top of existing layers before the paint has a chance to dry. She explains that “It creates a very flowing, unexpected effect”.

Rainbow says she was heavily influenced by the Impressionist movement and how the artists dealt with light in natural settings. She started to experiment with her own landscapes -“that is what I’ve been doing ever since.” via & via
