Concrete has for a long time been the material of choice for Stella Pace. The artist created her work by multiplying the imagery until the charged surfaces acquire psychological attributes.
Her sculptures and etchings are created by a process of accumulations. Concrete is layered in vigorous fashion and the result is an organic and improvised textural work

Emmanuel Radnitzky, better known as Man Ray, was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. He is most well known for his avant-garde photography, in which he cast many well know figures of his time such as Kiki de Montparnasse. Although he is known for his photos, he also worked in other mediums and considered himself a painter. He was a major contributor to the Dadaist and surrealist movements.
He appropriated the photogram, a type of photo made without the use of a camera, and renamed them «rayographs». In 1920, he collaborated with Marcel Duchamp on his kinetic sculptures in New York. In that same year he also founded, along with Katherine Dreier, the Société Anonyme, which was an itinerant collection later to become the first museum of modern art in the US.
In 1925, along with Jean Arp, Max Ernst, André Masson, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso, Man Ray was part of the first Surrealist exhibition at the Galerie Pierre in Paris.

Cécile Ronc, a painter based in Montreal, is currently pursuing a doctorate in research-creation at the Université du Québec à Montréal and is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Her pictorial practice delves into what she calls “géonirisme,” exploring the sensory qualities of nature and the resonances they can awaken in us. Interested in the “ecology of vision,” she seeks to help shape a new culture of the living world, one in which nature is perceived “for itself,” without symbolic projection or serving as a mere mirror of human subjectivity.
She regularly exhibits her work in both solo and group shows. Her solo exhibition *Le luxuriant désert noir* at the Galerie d’art d’Outremont focused on the relationship between paint as matter and landscape as matter. At the McClure Gallery, her solo show *Le pays où l’on n’arrive jamais* investigated connections between landscapes and memory. *Paysages sans têtes*, presented at the Association Premier Regard in Paris, featured paintings initiated during her residency at the Casa de Velázquez, seeking to capture the successive impressions of a viewer in motion—thus reflecting how vision truly operates.

Born in Montevideo (Uruguay) in 1971, Marcelo lived in Madrid and Grenoble before his family settled in Montreal (Canada). He now divides his time between Montreal and Mérida, in the Yucatán region of Mexico, where he has his own photography sanctuary.
After earning his degree in photography from Cégep du Vieux Montréal, he was recruited by one of the leading black-and-white photography labs, where he developed a strong interest in black-and-white photography and darkroom techniques. His creativity and talent led him to explore advertising and editorial photography, transitioning from film to digital without losing his passion for darkroom work and black-and-white imagery.
In 2015, Marcelo went to New York to study tintype photography and began mastering the technique while continuing his advertising career.
Two years later, in 2017, Marcelo was suddenly struck by cerebral vasculitis. After a long hospital stay, multiple treatment attempts, and a lengthy recovery, he had to come to terms with the end of his professional career. However, this prompted him to dedicate himself to what he truly loves in photography: tintype. He found in this technique a way to celebrate the beauty of what might initially appear off-putting.
Raoul Ubac was born on the 31st of August 1910 in Cologne. He spent most of his youth in Germany and eventually moves to Paris where he studies at the Sorbonne. In Paris, he meets Camille Bryen, Otto Freudlich and Andrée Breton and joins the Surrealist movement.
Ubac experiments with photography, notably with solarisation and petrification. In 1933 his experiments are exposed in a Parisian gallery.
He is also known for his drawings, his prints, his gouaches, his paintings, his reliefs, and his stained glass.
The artist passed away on March 24th in 1985.

Christine Vandrisse, a French artist and publisher, has lived since 1985 in an 18th-century Flemish house transformed into a contemporary studio open to nature. Specializing in typography and intaglio, she creates unique works and editions under the name Éditions d’Émérence, founded in 2011. Inspired by material and serendipity, her art explores deconstruction and transformation, as exemplified in her DOMA and DOMATA series. She combines engraving, performance, and video to illustrate the slowness of the creative process, celebrating the intimate connection between the artist, the material, and time. Her works are regularly exhibited internationally.
Maria Helena Vieira da Silva was born in Lisbon, Portugal on the 13th of June 1908. Early on, she developed an interest in drawing and painting and was enrolled in the city’s Academia de Belas-Arteswhere she was to study until her teenage years. Afterwards, she studied painting with Fernand Léger, sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle and etching with Stanley William Hayter, all masters in their respective fields.
By the time she was 22, she was exhibiting her work in Paris. Her compositions, largely influenced by Cézanne, are complex, dense and evoke the spatial ambiguities of cubism. Her work in the 40’s and 50’s reflects the essence of Post-war Paris. The artist portrays the city in profile and from bird’s eye views, often creating mazes and masses of people.
She becomes a French citizen in 1956. She is also the first woman to receive the Grand Prix National des Arts in 1966 and in 1979 is named Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Vieira da Silva died in Paris on the 6thof March 1992.
