Michèle Lehmann was born in Switzerland, but she has lived and worked in Mijas for more than 30 years. She began with pencil drawings that evolved into great complexity, taking weeks to finish. She now produces oils carefully built in layers of glaze, which have won prizes over Spain and are shown in galleries in several countries.

Elena has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country and has a PhD in Painting from the University of Granada.

Merab Gagiladze, was born in Tbilisi Georgia. His art reflects a neo medieval style, with the use of subtle colours. An excellent draftsman and colourist, he re-interprets the tales and legends of his country so richly imbued with European and Eastern cultures. His work takes the viewer on an imaginary journey populated with characters who bear a message at the crossroads between reality and dreams.
