Welcome Miraal Habib! @adventuremiroo A photographer, illustrator, and film-maker from Karachi, Pakistan, Miraal longs to make nature accessible to everyone through her imaginative photographs and films. It all starts with a burst of thought, of something that does not yet exist. Then, Miraal does her best to turn the inspiration into a reality. “I think if my work makes someone feel something they haven’t felt before, or ponder on a thought they haven’t conceived of previously, then I’ve done my job.” #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #artist #womeninart #photography #berlin #naturephotography #animalphotography #documentaryphotographer #documentaryphotography #documentary #documentarian #filmmaker #filmmakers #videographer #photographer #research #researcher #illustrator #illustration #animator #animation

Hemlaås (work in progress) Video Still from Video Hannah has been transfixed by the care facility where her grandmother worked for years, and wanted to connect her fascination with the building with the history and her own personal experiences with it. “There is a sense of melancholy and transience that I like, both aesthetically and in the narrative.” @hanna.abrahamson #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #artist #womeninart #photography #berlin #videoart #documentary #documentarian #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #videographer #videography #conceptual #experimental #research #researcher #hannaabrahamsson movingimages #archive

Welcome Hannah Abrahamsson! @hanna.abrahamson Hannah is a video and photo artist from Sweden, currently living in Stockholm. Through her research, she creates connections to explore through her films by not only using traditional story-telling, but also utilises experimental and conceptual film-making techniques. “In my work I often explore questions about society and human behaviour and where the personal narratives are the main inspiration. I also use the self-biographical as a starting point and then put it in a societal context, as a way to highlight what often can be overlooked.” #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #artist #womeninart #photography #berlin #videoart #documentary #documentarian #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #videographer #videography #conceptual #experimental #research #researcher #hannaabrahamsson #movingimages #archive

Hemlaås (Work in progress) Video Still from Video In the video we follow the research work for an art project, where the artist and her mother go back to the old retirement home where her grandmother worked. A place the artist herself has an inexplicable fascination for as a child. Fragments of a conversation about this place and the memories it resurfaces allow for the viewer to enter this space. The house is central in the video and is used as an expression of the immeasurable - for memory and perception as well as for care work and the artist's role in society. “Recently I have used a lot of visual objects, which become allegories in my videos.” @hanna.abrahamson #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #artist #womeninart #photography #berlin #videoart #documentary #documentarian #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #videographer #videography #conceptual #experimental #research #researcher #hannaabrahamsson #movingimages #archive

Behind the scenes: Perry meeting with Berlin-based artist Daniela Torres at her studio in Berlin, during which Perry discusses her process and plans for an exhibition experience. @Perrydanis @thedandandani #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #art #artist #womeninart #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #3dart #ceramics #clay #selfportrait #perrydanis

‘COTTON MOUTH’ Mixed fabric on Canvas 55x43cm ‘Cotton Mouth’ was motivated by material exploration and transformation. Using carpet to replicate the structure of taste buds, Perry utilises a variety of different fabrics to study the textures of the mouth. ‘I wanted to play around with painting on different fabrics, as well as incorporating framing into the art to create space and explore flatness’. @perry.danis #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #womeninart #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #3dart #bodyart #perrydanis

Welcome Perry Danis! @perry.danis Born and raised in the Midwest of the USA, Perry is a multimedia artist who works with different techniques and materials to interpret topics such as anxiety, anger and wonder. Often focusing on body imagery, Perry's work is vibrant and thought provoking. 'I strive to create art that is simultaneously beautiful and nasty, seductive and threatening, precious and dirty. My work is an earnest expression of a mortal existence in which the body is both celebrated and condemned.' #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #womeninart #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #3dart #oilpainting #gouache #tempera #acrylicpainting #clay #perrydanis

'REFLECTION' Glass and mirror on Plexiglass 63x46cm In this art piece, Perry explores the act of gazing into another human's eyes. Using fragments of glass and mirror, Perry plays with light to communicate the expressiveness of the human eye, and the consciousness the lies within the gaze. @perry.danis #cogalleries #berlinartist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #womeninart #mixedmedia #mosaic #contemporaryart #3dartist #perrydanis

Welcome Mélanie de Pourtalès! @melaniedepourtales This is our new resident. Born and raised in Luxembourg, Melanie is inspired by great names in painting such as Marlene Dumas, Jenny Saville and Alex Katz. Melanie is also inspired by photography which she uses as references to create her own works. Here is a brief description of her artwork by herself: “My artwork is focused on painting and emotion. I find facial expressions fascinating, the gaze is enough to understand how the person or figure feels. It is the first thing I look for when observing other artists work. As an artist, I want the viewer to be confronted by the figure and to develop their own narrative in response.” We are looking forward to see more! . . . . . . . . . . . #womenartists #womeninart #painting #art #artist #artwork #paintingprocess #oilpainting #acrylicpainting #instapainting #contemporaryart #artresidency #berlinart #berlin
