Behind the Brushstrokes: Meet Our Artists and Their Creative Process
At The Studio Society, we believe that art is more than just decoration—it’s a way to tell stories, evoke emotions, and connect deeply with the world around us. That's why we place great emphasis on building connections between artists and collectors. Understanding an artist's creative process not only enriches the experience of owning their work but also allows collectors to appreciate the deeper meanings behind each piece. In this series, we’ll take you behind the brushstrokes to meet the talented artists whose works define our collection.
We are proud to showcase the creative journeys of artists like Aline Gaiad, Hannah Carrick, Ekaterina Popova, Nina Baxter, and Phuong Truong, each of whom brings a unique perspective to their art. Their works are as diverse as their inspirations, and they invite viewers into new worlds, whether abstract, figurative, or deeply connected to nature and personal experiences.
Aline Gaiad: The Power of Contradiction
Aline Gaiad's works are built on the idea of contradictions, where abstraction and figuration coexist, creating tension and harmony. Her creative process is deeply rooted in her exploration of movement and the space between chaos and order. For Aline, the act of painting becomes a reflection of life itself—a constant negotiation between structure and freedom. Her use of color, texture, and form embodies the complexity of emotions, capturing fleeting moments of clarity amid the turbulence of thought and feeling. Every piece by Aline offers a window into her inner world, a space where control and release coexist.
Hannah Carrick: Connecting Humanity and Nature
Hannah Carrick's paintings are an emotional exploration of biophilia—the innate human connection to nature. Her work invites the viewer to reflect on how we relate to the world around us. Through vibrant colors and textured surfaces, Hannah connects human experiences with the natural world, showing how deeply intertwined we are with our environment. Her process is often meditative, working intuitively with shapes and layers to allow her feelings to guide the creation of each piece. For Hannah, art is not just an expression; it’s a means of emotional healing, a reflection of the human need to reconnect with nature and each other.
Ekaterina Popova: Telling Stories Through Color and Form
Ekaterina Popova is known for her vibrant, yet reflective work that blends abstraction with figurative elements. Her process starts with a deep dive into personal stories—memories, dreams, and emotions that are translated into rich color palettes and striking compositions. For Ekaterina, art is a conversation, a way to make sense of the world and communicate those moments of clarity and confusion. Her use of color is not just about aesthetics; it is a tool to invoke emotion and draw the viewer into a deeper narrative. Each brushstroke builds upon her emotional and psychological landscape, creating pieces that speak to both the individual and the collective experience.
Nina Baxter: Quiet Euphoria and Everyday Narratives
Nina Baxter’s work captures quiet euphoria in everyday moments. Through a blend of abstraction and figurative painting, Nina reflects the subtleties of daily life—those fleeting, introspective moments that often go unnoticed. Her creative process is driven by a fascination with the human experience and the complex emotional states that define our interactions. Nina’s paintings evoke a sense of calm and thoughtfulness, often exploring themes of self-reflection, memory, and connection. Her work invites the viewer to pause, to look closer, and to find beauty in the small, ordinary moments that make up our lives.
Phuong Truong: The Intersection of Identity and Culture
Phuong Truong’s work is a meditation on the complexities of identity, culture, and memory. Drawing from her personal experiences as a Vietnamese artist navigating different cultural landscapes, Phuong’s paintings explore themes of belonging, transition, and the nuances of cultural identity. Her process often involves layering different materials and textures, reflecting the layered nature of identity itself. Each piece is a conversation between past and present, self and other, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own cultural stories and how they shape their understanding of the world.
