Ana Priscila Rodriguez
Digital Art | The Neatherlands
Ana Priscila Rodriguez, born 1974 in Mexico City, resides in The Netherlands since 1998.
She graduated Cum Laude from the Academy of Fine Arts in Utrecht, The Netherlands in 2006, specializing in Mixed Media and Photography. She also has background studies in History and Graphic Design. Ana Priscila Rodriguez has mastered her own hybrid digital mixed media technique, and she produces digital and paper collage work, as well as analogue images.
Her photographic work is intimate, delicate and confronting. With her images she attempts to create a relatable shore for the emotional and psychological human experience. Every image is a window to a story using photography as a medium to create visuals attached to a feeling or an emotion where the viewer fills in the blanks with their own visions.
Ana Priscila Rodrigueza’s works are all about the human experience of life itself, her work is at times dark and confrontational, it is a mirror to one’s mirrors, fears, long lost loves and regrets and at the same time it offers a shore of recognition, acceptance and possibilities. No matter how dark, there is always a way forward.
Sid Daniels
Drawing | United States
Sid Daniels is a Miami Beach-based artist whose vibrant works explore the expressive language of fashion. Born in Toronto, Canada, Daniels studied Art and Design at the Ontario College of Art before relocating to New York City. There, he developed a distinctive style focused on large-scale acrylics on canvas, often centered on themes of burlesque and fashion.
Drawing from the bold aesthetics of retro fashion and the elegance of Art Deco, Daniels creates theatrical visual narratives that blur the line between nostalgia and contemporary style.
Sid’s distinctive style is defined by his masterful use of line, color, and a dynamic range of techniques and media. Each piece pulsates with rhythmic flow and stylized glamour, hallmarks of his signature approach. His work is not just seen-it’s experienced, as a celebration of fashion’s drama and the timeless power of visual storytelling.
Sid Daniels’ work spans four distinct themes and formats, each reflecting his dynamic artistic vision. His work is a fusion of history, movement, and emotion, offering collectors and art enthusiasts a diverse range of visual narratives to explore.
Rizlane
Digital Photography | Canada
Born in Montreal and based between Québec and the United States, Rizlane is a visionary fine art photographer whose work redefines the boundaries between photography, ritual, and luxury. She is recognized internationally, featured in esteemed publications and honored with awards such as the Fine Art Photography Awards.
In an era of digital reproducibility, Rizlane insists on materiality and presence. Each piece is printed on museum-grade canvas or fine art paper, framed with meticulous care, and signed with a diamond, transforming photography into a jewel-like object of contemplation and desire.
Rizlane’s work explores themes of the sacred feminine, transformation, rarity, and the body as a vessel of divine energy. Her photographs celebrate the power of the female form through ritual, movement, and the symbolic use of drapery — often echoing the cyclical nature of creation, menstruation, and ancestral memory. Inspired by mythology, spirituality, and the poetry of emotion, she constructs visual narratives that honor the unseen, the sensual, and the subconscious.
Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman
Painting | Canada
Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman is a surrealist painter born out of the 3rd Wave of Feminism. As a self-taught artist, Deidre Sullivan-Beeman utilizes many DIY ethics and methods. Her paintings are a palimpsest that employs the imposed history and lore of the “girl” in empowering femininity. Her young women find their strength in a multitude of potentialities and sexualities. The iconography and simulacra in her transcendental works emerge from someplace subliminal. These elements reflect her view of the world and have metaphorical meaning through investigation of identity, gender, otherworldly narratives, and mythical animal personas.
Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman’s work explores themes of feminine strength, inner wisdom, and the liminal space between reality and the fantastical. Her paintings and drawings center on young femme figures, seekers or dreamers, who inhabit richly symbolic, otherworldly environments. Often accompanied by animal familiars, these heroines teeter on the edge of naïveté while remaining powerfully wise. Rooted in magical realism and surrealism, her compositions draw on mythology, folklore, and esoteric traditions. Her work examines the lore of the “girl” to question gender roles and critique portrayals of young women in popular culture, empowering femininity through deeply personal and idiosyncratic imagery.
