DHYANESWAR DAUSOA

"Sculptures of my creation are in wood, stone and metal. Those in wood and stone are mostly carved in round and free standing, whereas those in metals are in assemblage with the techniques of hammering, welding and grinding. These materials are worked out with care and without any torture. In spite of being carved or assembled they show an impression of being sensibly modelled. They are generally stylized, symbolic figurative forms situated between the conventional and the abstract. Movements are inspired from vegetation, nature and human activities. Some of them are elongated with vertical ascent, giving the expression of sublime spiritual attainment while others have volumes giving the feeling of liberation and expansion in the environment. Art has an important role to play in human life and to serve certain social cause. Evidently it is a silent language which communicates with the spirit. Art doesn't belong to the creating artists alone but to the whole society."...

REBECCA D'SOUZA

Rebecca D’Souza is a young Mauritian art historian who really likes writing. With a Bachelor in Visual Arts in Art History and Aesthetics (May 2021) from Gujarat, India, Rebecca enjoys how the field brings together theory and hard facts, aesthetics, and the creativity of the art world from the past to the present. After slowly cultivating an appreciation for words over the past few years, Rebeccs loves to write just about anything you throw her way. However, she particularly insists on storytelling and short poems. As a young person in a fast-evolving world, the aspiring writer and artist feels compelled to understand how emotion and the human mind walk hand in hand. In line with that, how art can represent certain human dilemmas all us humans on planet Earth will probably face at least once while walking around in our houses or in other habitual spaces. That is representation through the mediums of painting and storytelling, for example. Having been exposed to and learnt different printmaking techniques at university as her electives, Rebecca has a growing interest in how such methods can be incorporated into her work. So far, she has co-led two printmaking workshops with secondary school students. After being a Marketing and Media Assistant, Rebecca currently works as a primary school teacher. She would like to study corporate communication in the future, and hold on to her artistic practices. In her spare time she makes digital collages, and updates her personal blog. Rebecca lives with her family in Mauritius.

ANGEL ANGOH - ART THERAPIST

Angel Angoh was born and lives in Mauritius. Trained in Fine Art in London and Paris, she has also studied under the guidance of Claude Rogers in London. She has participated in many international art experimental workshops. Making art is her passion and she expresses herself through the abstract qualities of shape, color, line, form and texture. Intuitive expression is at the core of her art works. Angel is fascinated with the creative process where various shapes and colors are placed next to each other and together they are woven into life. Her paintings combine realistic renderings with abstract trappings, messages, manifold allusions, which stimulate the viewers' perception and imagination to feel and experience the paintings from their own personal perspective. Behind her artworks, there is a lifetime spent drawing, studying and teaching art. Angel is a lecturer in History of Art and for one and half decades she has been working as an art therapist in men's and women's prisons in Mauritius.
