Swan in Bloom
A contemporary photo-based collage that pairs the poised curve of a swan with intricately cut botanical forms, creating a surreal dialogue between elegance and ornament. Set on aluminium, the composition balances softness and graphic contrast, with a dusty pink field and vivid blue accents lending the work a refined yet playful presence.

Tom Barnea
Tom Barnea (sometimes operating under the artistic handle MAYAMOTEK) is a contemporary digital artist specializing in vibrant, hypnotic photopaintings that translate a heightened personal perception of color and light. Bypassing traditional digital aesthetics, computers, and generative AI, Tom executes her entire creative process exclusively on a smartphone. She treats her photographs as physical and raw materials, layering and filtering them dozens of times to pull a hidden spectrum of luminous neon coloring. The resulting landscapes distort reality, manifesting how she uniquely encounters it.
