Bio: "Fernando Chamarelli is a UNESP formed graphic designer, illustrator and visual artist. He started drawing cartoons, caricatures and realistic portraits and later became involved with street art and tattooing. It is by merging these different mediums that he creates his art. Chamarelli lives in a multicultural country of contrasts, therefore this environment reflects in his work. Including mosaic, geometric elements,organic forms and harmonic lines connecting symbols, legends, philosophies, religions and customs of ancient and modern civilizations. Within this diversity are the strong influence of Brazilian popular culture and pre-Columbian indigenous art. His art follows the rhythm of globalization, bridging borders and cultures closer. The Characters with serious expressions live in different realities and in situations that appear surreal. Music has a very important role during the creation, helping to give flow.

Bio: Self proclaimed Queen of the wild things, Juliana Neufeld's childhood in the country was spent building forts, scouting for Bigfoot and hunting for buried treasure. Today, Juliana spends her time exploring the concrete jungle of Toronto, claiming territory and fraternizing with other creative animals while striving to create a body of work that reflects the youthful optimism and adventurous spirit of her youth. Juliana’s art can be found on canvas, scribbled in journals, printed in magazines and tucked in nooks and crannies throughout the world wide web.
