About Mariana:
“The medium of printmaking enables me to explore the textures and shapes of found objects and transfer them directly into paper. Using rust to represent the process of decay, each piece evolves through disintegration, acting as an antidote to the materialism of modern industrial life.”

About Jasmine:
“Jasmine is a 17 year old artist and singer-songwriter (composing and accompanying herself on the piano) based in Amsterdam. As an artist, she works primarily with oil paints; texture, form and colour playing very important roles in her work. In both her music and her art, she draws inspiration from herself and the environment around her – working primarily with themes related to the human condition (thus the many portraits and of usage human anatomy in her art)”

Lina Tsiva, Greek flutist and Maria Rosaria Della Ragione, italian clarinetist started to play together in 2011, when they met each other in Utrecht conservatory. Both attending the master of music in chamber music, they starts to research about the repertoire written for flute and clarinet and when the notes starts to coming out like one warm and colored sound then it is clear that this combination can actually works. Through their concerts they want to allow people know about the music and the colors that the flute and the clarinet together can express. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kariatides-Duo/138201313022218

Culinary art(s)

I’ve often been asked if I’m an artist, if I play an instrument, what kind of music I make. I’ve got some musician friends, I hang out with artistic people and I sometimes dress very creative for some peoples’ tastes; I guess I appear creative? I always answer: “I make food”.

I wouldn’t call myself an outstanding chef, but I do have the skill to be able to imagine the taste of for example different flavours when combined. And I can generally cook without weighing or measuring, I simply combine ingredients. For some people this seems impossible. For me it seems impossible to play guitar with two hands, sing and tap my feet on the floor. Or to play piano with two hands, sing and use the feet as well. or to… well you get the drift. Culinary arts. That’s more my thing.

Culinary arts is the art of preparing and cooking foods. The word “culinary” is defined as something related to, or connected with, cooking. A culinarian is a person working in the culinary arts. A culinarian working in restaurants is commonly known as a cook or a chef. Culinary artists are responsible for skilfully preparing meals that are as pleasing to the palate as to the eye. They are required to have a knowledge of the science of food and an understanding of diet and nutrition. They work primarily in restaurants, delis, hospitals and other institutions. Kitchen conditions vary depending on the type of business, restaurant, nursing home, etc. The Table arts or the art of having food can also be called as “Culinary arts”.
