Etienne Mottez
Mixed media
Lille-based artist Étienne Mottez found a way to communicate and express himself through drawing when language played tricks on him in his youth. Inspired by graffiti, comic strips and street culture, his visual language grew into an explosion of colour, symbolism and layering. His work refers to greats such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Hervé Di Rosa and Robert Combas, but is above all permeated by a deeply personal expression.
With no academic training, Mottez is guided by intuition and emotion. Acrylic, oil, spray paint, Posca - anything is possible as long as it serves his story. His large canvases are visually powerful, but beneath the surface lurk hidden signs, anagrams and emotions that invite discovery. Each work is a snapshot of his life: raw, honest and direct.
Jorge Pérez Rodríguez
Oil / ink on paper / canvas
Based in Tenerife, Jorge Pérez Rodríguez is a versatile artist, colourist and illustrator with a distinct visual style that effortlessly interweaves abstraction, fantasy and surrealism.
After a degree in graphic design from the Fernando Estévez School of Arts, he obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of La Laguna. Since then, he has been steadily building an artistic trajectory with his own recognisable signature.
Jorge works mainly with oils on canvas or paper, pairing his technical mastery with a rich, imaginative imagery. Included in numerous international private collections, his work speaks both through colour and narrative depth.
Paolo Franzoso
Mixed media
Paolo Franzoso (°Chioggia, Italy) is a self-taught artist who found his way to painting during a period of personal and professional upheaval. After years as a graphic designer in Bologna and later in Adria, he started painting in 2009 to reinvent himself - and found in it a powerful new means of expression.
His work is intensely personal and at the same time universal. Each painting arises from an emotion, fuelled by impressions from everyday life, dreams and thoughts. Paolo developed his own mixed technique in which he brings together acrylic, oil, stucco, plaster, paper, cardboard and texts to create a layered, material visual narrative.
Since 2015, he has been working from his studio Artisticheria, and his work has become a regular feature at national and international exhibitions. His oeuvre now comprises more than 400 works, most of which are in private collections.
Kelly Thibaut
Mixed media
Kelly Thibaut is a Franco-Belgian artist who grew up in Belgium. She rediscovered her love for art when she moved to the Côte d'Azur. She finds inspiration in the Mediterranean setting: exotic plants, colours and light, which she tries to translate with her personal touch.
Although she emphasises colour, the characters in her paintings are called “Fellows”, in homage to her Flemish roots. They have mixed emotions, but she mainly describes them as clumsy and often in funny situations. Instead of hands and feet, they have faces representing their different personalities.

Valentina Amidei
Artbags
Valentina knows better than anyone how to combine materials such as copper, fabric, leather, enamel and paint to create true works of art that reflect design, art, craftsmanship and knowledge. Her Artbag series is called Animal Charm and is inspired by the beauty of nature's elements and reflects the imaginative use of materials.
Valentina was selected as an exhibitor for the art fair Lille Art Up! 2025 with her Art Bags.
Linda Roosens
Mixed media
Linda Roosens was born and raised in Brussels. Twenty years ago, she swapped her native region for Kortrijk. She took no specific art training but discovered her creative talent three years ago and built on her feelings and intuition.
She started with abstract works with acrylic paint, grew into experimenting with texture and material (sand, silver paper, plastic) and currently enjoys working with plaster. Her works often deal with very recognisable emotions: sadness, time, vulnerability, falling in love, getting older. Through her art, Roosens wants to share her story, hoping that her work will resonate with others and become a source of comfort and recognition.
LindaRoosensArt, that is texture, emotion, symbolism, passion, authenticity and confrontation.
Linda was selected as an exhibitor for the art fair Lille Art Up! 2025.
Mort Amour

Photographic art
Bart Moeyaert and Patrick Vanryckeghem are 2 art photographers who have been working together for a long time under the name MortAmour.As the name of the artist collective already suggests, in their photographs a link to love and death is never far away. The photographs tell a story about beauty, but also about the fragility of life and the need to treat nature with care. Animals that have died a natural death are portrayed together with photo models in a unique and artistic way. This does not exclude the use of painting on the body and other techniques. In this way, the dead animals are given a second life, so to speak. The work brought by MortAmour is unprecedented. They manage to amaze the art scene with their new creations every time.
Ronny Arryn
Ceramics
With this ceramic project, Ronny Arryn pays tribute to the beauty of women, which he immortalises in ceramics. He is self-taught, having started only a few years ago, and he wants to work uninhibitedly with multiple techniques, different types of clay and many glazes or paints. To the artisanal reproduction in clay of a part of the female body, he always tries to add an artistic touch, either in form or colour. By doing so, he wants to express that beauty is in every woman and can be expressed with some self-awareness. And immortalised in ceramics. He emphasises that although it is not always meant to be serious, he occasionally tries to bring something playful or playful into the work. As is also peculiar to life. Besides the women's torsos in ceramics, he has also created an extensive collection of ceramic bowls. He calls them ‘the bowls with the feminine curves’, thus sticking to his theme.
