Vane MG
I am a Colombian artist and designer based in London, working across painting, street art, and illustration. My practice is rooted in vibrant colour, playful visual language, portraiture, and my signature Heart Eyes, a recurring symbol that represents showing what is in my heart through my eyes. Born from my experience of finding my own identity and artistic voice while living and painting in London, the Heart Eye has become a central part of my murals and paintings. My background in toy design also influences my work, bringing elements of imagination, colour, and the inner child into my art. I love creating colourful public artworks that connect with people and bring a sense of joy and energy to the spaces around them.

Uncandy
Born in Macau and moved over to the UK at 14, my art sits in between the two places, still very much connected to ink and watercolour, the very root of Chinese painting, while my years in the UK introduced me to different mediums like spray can and paint. My art is a visual diary of current events in my life, the good, the bad and everything in between.
