​
Hoy vamos a celebrar esta sociedad multicultural con muchas caras diferentes, que es la fuente de tantos grandes inventos y descubrimientos que han cambiado el mundo, incluyendo IMPRENTA (gravado), que ha influido en TENDENCIAS globales y ha sufrido muchos grandes CONVULSIONES.

Obtenga inspiración echando un vistazo al fabuloso trabajo de los artistas de nuestro grupo EUROPE; Tracy, Olga, DeeDee, Natalie, Alberto y Autour de Mwa.
Alberto Juarez - Mini Album
Salvador Dalí has always had a curious relationship with portraits and faces. I was inspired by his eccentricity and the colours of his homeland in making this piece of work. I mixed together colours and textures using a Steampunk style with touches of golden colour. I also included text and letters to bring to mind his fascination with poetry and his relationship with Federico Garcia Lorca
DeeDee Catron - Pamphlet
This little pamphlet embodies everything I love about mixed media & art with a flourish of European style like some Ukrainian text and old world textures.
Natalie May - Scrapbook Layout
It's all about PrintMaking for me (as I LOVE my Gel Press) and all of the challenge elements fitted in just perfect. I incorporated lots of different techniques to create this page, each one different to the other but all working together beautifully.
Olga Haldwein- Mixed Media Canvas
I wanted to try to include all the elements of our challenge in my project. I let myself go with the flow and sat down to work with only a general idea and I love how it has come out!
Tracy Evans - Tray
I was first inspired by a face which I created from clay to represent my love of our multicultural society. I wanted to create a piece that represented us as a society protecting our love of our people within Europe. This is represented by the hand in my artwork, which represents a protective hand, which has many layers inspired by our challenge, including vintage newspaper pieces, lace, hessian, threads, paint layers, European Map, all to create layers to add texture, creating a very tactile piece.
Autour de Mwa - Wooden Panel
I let myself get carried away by my passion for colours and textures when I made this piece of work which combines both modern and vintage elements while keeping a very fresh and abstract style…
Everything which I love!
Jasmina - Scrapbook Layout
I decided to make a page with a photo showing me with my son. I wanted a page that felt dynamic at the same time as having a sweet and timeless feeling to reflect the emotion of that particular moment when Julian finally felt good again after going through several months of stress. The book pages and the craft colour help to contribute that sweetness while the background with its blue and white, and the orange flowers suggest a more dynamic side.
