You already know that, apart from art and fashion, we love to make good recommendations, so we’re back with five accounts of artists that we have met through Instagram and we believe that they are essential for anyone who likes contemporary art. Let’s start!
-
Daisy Parris (@daisyparris)
Daisy is an English artist born in 1993 who has had numerous individual and group exhibitions around the world. Her technique is based on the use of oil paint and sometimes acrylic on canvas. Her works are generally large, over 2 meters, although she also does some smaller ones. We can see that red and pink tones predominate, although she uses a wide variety of colors. We love all her works!

Paolo Salvador (@paolo.salvador)
Paolo Salvador is a Peruvian artist born in 1990 but currently living in Berlin, Germany. His works always show animal and human figures in quite pastel tones, which makes him quite recognizable. He has participated in numerous exhibitions, both individual and group, around the world. Initially these took place in his hometown, Lima, but little by little they expanded and reached places like London, Mexico, Paris or Seoul. He has also received several awards, and we are not surprised at all!

Michael Swaney (@michaelswaney)
Michael Swaney is a Canadian born in 1978 who studied Illustration and Design at Capilano University, so he considers himself a self-taught artist. His works have a “childish” touch, a childish vision of the world. He moved to Barcelona in 2006, and due to the inspiration offered by the architect Antonio Gaudí, he now also works with mosaics. He has had international exhibitions for years in galleries in Madrid, Barcelona, New York, Berlin or Miami among others.

Iryna Maksymova (@maksymova.art)
Iryna is a Ukrainian artist who studied Graphic Design, but later opted for traditional painting as she had always been interested in art and dedicated herself to painting in her spare time. The artist herself seeks to convey the emotions and impressions that concern her. It also captures her experiences, positive or negative, that affect both the world and her. Themes such as joy, love, feminism, cruelty or injustice are what fill her works with the purpose of influencing people to make changes, not only around them but also in themselves.

Francisco Mendes Moreira (@franciscomendesmoreira)
Francisco was born in Coimbra, Portugal in 1979. His works often show abstract faces and figures while exploring universal themes related to the human experience. He uses various materials, such as clothing scraps, cardboard or blocks of wood along with paint or oil pastels to bring these pieces to life. The artist is known for his wonderful landscapes with trees and mountains, often drawn with colors that are not the ones that would correspond to them in real life. His works have been exhibited in Europe and parts of North America.
As you can see, all the artists that we have recommended have very special and different techniques that make their works totally recognizable. Do you want to see the reel we made about them on Instagram and leave us your recommendations? Here you got it!
