The exhibition features three visionary artists whose works explore the mysterious, the magical, and the surreal:

  • Olga Klimova (@art_ok_uk), A Siberian-born watercolourist whose ethereal paintings shimmer with granulating and radiant pigments. Alongside her originals, visitors will find a charming collection of postcards, bags, keychains, and stickers inspired by her art.

  • Claire Valentine-Gibson, An artist who channels the enchantment of the natural world through reclaimed and recycled materials. Her otherworldly pieces invite viewers into portals of imagination, where nature and magic entwine.

  • Karolina Wakulińska, A third-generation artist from Poland, blending dark surrealism with influences of nature, Norse mythology, and dreams. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, she brings a haunting elegance to her multi-medium creations.

Step inside this Halloween exhibition and experience “Stranger Things” , where fantasy meets fine art, and every corner hums with mystery and creativity.
