The balance of Realism with Expressionism is something I've always done. In order to do my best work realistically, I joined Grand Central Atelier and in order to express myself, I've been taking abstract classes consistently over the last decade. Both extremes, I told myself, will grow only when isolated. I love both the same, like if they are my two kids.

Welin is an internationally renowned artist using the streets as his medium. He grew up in Sønderborg, Denmark where he started painting murals on permissioned walls around town. Quickly he gained experience in mastering the spray. This made it possible for him to attend several graffiti and street art festivals such as Roskilde Festival. From here he gained more know-how about different styles and techniques by seeing many local and international artists working. This network of artists also gave him the opportunity to travel and work in other countries. Welin spent a lot of time painting in New York and Melbourne, but he also made shorter visits to other cities such as Amsterdam, Toronto, Glasgow, London and many more.
Welin's style usually comes out figurative. Educating himself in classical drawing at TegneskoleKBH gave him strong foundation in construction, form, and lighting.

Roberto Marchesi was born in 1977 and grew up in Milano with abundant access to classical art and has since childhood been fascinated by the technique of the greatest painters, their simple yet confident brush strokes and treatment of light.
