We’re bringing you 10 of the brightest artistic talents to join Vango since we’ve gone GLOBAL (in no particular order). Their refreshing perspective and work goes to show that pure creativity cannot be defined by one country or region.

1. Yuliya Martynov (Romania)

Independent, driven, yet fragile, her artistic ideology is a form of self-reflection. It lies with uncertain trajectory of a paper plane — a delicate vessel connecting space and time. Watch A Day in the Life to see more.

6. Melisa Taylor (Canada)

Melisa’s work is a hybrid of technique, mixing organic and material processes. I relied upon memory to approach painting with more freedom, imagination and subjectivity. Over time, I developed a visual language of gestures derived from automatism and action-painting much like ab ex.

Nude

The Earth

8. Kim Leutwyler (Austrailia)

10. Ulugbek G Doschanov (Russia)

Ulugbek’s art is objective, it comes from spontaneity. It is not prearranged, preprogrammed, pre-thought. As he paints, he flows with the colors and often surprises himself on how I have left it up to the hands of existence.
