Introducing Antoine Traineau @this.is.atn , featured artist @halfofvenus gallery. Antoine Traineau’s work explores the unstable moment when images emerge, fade or vibrate between light and obscurity. Using airbrush layers, pointillism and material surfaces, he creates scenes where forms appear as fleeting presences. His compositions often function like perceptual filters—spaces where luminosity, shadow and a sense of warmth or glow interfere with visibility. These veils create a tension between what is revealed and what withdraws, inviting viewers into a state of slowed, uncertain vision.
Traineau’s work carries a quiet mysticism: each piece hovers between apparition and disappearance, between physical surface and immaterial sensation.

Melding VII by @livia__studio is available via @halfofvenus gallery, link in bio or dm. Livia Westcott-Lahar (b. 1993, United States) is a Massachusetts-based painter. Driven by the complex emotions of personal loss and grief, my work is an abstract expression of ineffable feelings. With sweeping gestural brushstrokes I express the variability of the experience of grief and joy as they coexist.  The paintings are at times stark and aggressive; at other times, blurred and textural. But within these shifting visual spaces, each painting is an invitation for viewers to encounter their own emotional territories—a companion in the emotional gyrations of the human experience. Melding VII €700.00 Acrylic and charcoal on canvas 91,4 × 91,4 cm 2026 . . . . . . . . . #americanpainter #americanartist #abstractpainters #abstractart #abstractpainting

Go away by @candybassas is available via @halfofvenus gallery, link in bio or DM. Candy Bassas paints from the inside of the body where memory, desire and vulnerability move slowly, like breath in the dark. Her figures appear submerged, kneeling, dissolving, listening. Bodies merge with water, night landscapes, plants, mythic animals not as symbols, but as emotional states. Her practice moves between painting, printmaking, writing and music, carrying a rhythm that feels closer to a song than an image. Silence, repetition and uncertainty are not gaps they are where meaning begins. * (1992, Barcelona) She lives and works in Berlin since 2019. Graduated in Illustration and Costume Design 2016 in Barcelona. Currently a student of fine arts in the class of David Schutter at the Berlin University of the Arts. Main disciplines are painting, printmaking and music performance.  Publication of “Landscape of my Youth” at Spunpress in 2021, London. She was granted the Dorothea Konwiarz’s 2023/24 and Musicboard Scholarships 25’.

The Shape Of Remembering; Plant dye and rock pigment powder on raw canvas by @constanza.marquezl is featured now on @halfofvenus , link in bio or dm. Constanza Marquez (born in Argentina, 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer living and working between Spain and Portugal. Having lived in different parts of the world, her practice has been shaped by diverse landscapes and cultural environments. Growing up in rural landscapes deeply influenced her sensitivity to the natural world, which continues to guide her artistic path. Through painting, she explores materials, natural processes, and ancestral knowledge. Her work reflects on the relationship between nature, spirituality, and time, understanding artistic practice as a space for stillness and reconnection. Materiality plays a central role in her work. She works with mineral pigments, charcoal, oil sticks, plant dyes, and natural inks on raw canvas. She also creates many of her own materials, often gathering elements directly from the landscape as a way to connect with the land. The Shape Of Remembering €700.00 Plant dye and rock pigment powder on raw canvas 81 × 65 cm 2026 . . . . . . . #argentinianartist #argentinianpainter #painter #painting #naturalpainting

Three original watercolour and ink works on cotton by @ina_berlina are now available via @halfofvenus (€55–60). Link in bio or DM for details. Ina Djurković is a Berlin-based artist and architect, originally from Serbia, working primarily with watercolor on canvas. Her paintings explore identity and how it shifts through time and experience using organic forms: faces, fragments and plant-like shapes. Her practice is rooted in self-discovery and introspection, tracing how her inner life evolves and takes shape visually. She works quickly and wet-on-wet, completing each painting in a single pass. The fluidity of the medium and the lack of control it demands are central to her process, allowing her to challenge perfectionism and let experimentation guide the work.

Meet Magdalena Paz, an artist featured on @halfofvenus gallery. Swipe to see one of her available artworks. Magdalena Paz (b 1990,Chile) is a Berlin-based painter whose nomadic upbringing shapes her practice as both a stabilizing ritual and a space for improvisation. Influenced by her background as an athlete, a curiosity for color, and a search for understanding, Paz approaches painting as a bodily discipline where structure, intuition, fatigue, and precision intersect. Paz resists the contemporary pressure to produce work in series, or repeating motives. Rather than asking to be read categorically, the work invites a different mode of absorption: to be encountered as thoughts that organically shift and transform: or, a life in motion.

Scent of Poppies by @paula_baader is available via @halfofvenus gallery. Dm or link in bio. « My work delves into the fluid nature of memories and their psychic contours. Woven into each other, forming a kaleidoscopic tapestry of experiences. Ghostly, see-through, ethereal - I map and embody these fleeting moments, like translucent imprints on skin, simultaneously appearing and disappearing. Through a dialogue between urban space and the body, I investigate the shifting intersections of inner and outer worlds. Moving between times, places and perceptions, I create a dynamic web of associations that forms a map of meaning. This process involves zooming in to establish intimacy while simultaneously holding space to reflect on and navigate these experiences. » Scent of Poppies €850.00 Acrylic on canvas 30 × 25 cm 2026 . . . . . . . #germanartist #britishartist #acrylic #acrylicpainting #flowerpainting

Societal Residue by @alexandragpstudio , now on @halfofvenus . Link in bio or DM. Alexandra Gheorghe-Papadopol  is an emerging artist, born in Romania in 2003. Her artistic practice revolves around psychological and social themes, seeking to suggest our connection with the environment in which we live and the desire for change, a replacement that leads us toward an increasingly unstable relationship between ourselves and a certain space. Her works invite reflection and association with the landscape as a familiar space, one that serves as a refuge, yet is increasingly affected by contemporary artificiality.
