From her studio in Montreal, Canada, Ishita Banerjee combines a perfect blend of Cubist perspectives, mid-century modern, and textural movements. Ishita describes her subjects through her work, weaving a narrative of interaction between earth, nature, and people. She uses a mixture of imagination and association to make surreal and powerful abstract images, persons, faces, and non-traditional portraits.
Ishita states: “I create art that is a reflection of me & you. Our inter relationships as humans in each of our unique journeys. My artworks reside at the intersection of moods, feelings, nature, abstraction & colors. From mid-century modern inspired art, bold colorful abstracts, or dramatic & rich Cubist faces, my art is modern.” Find her works on OpenSea, Makers Place, & Foundation among others.

He is inspired by collage and urban art and uses a “stream of consciousness” approach to his work to explore perceptions of reality. His ability to draw viewers into his bold, cubist portraiture is the reason why Gabe has risen so quickly to the top of the NFT art market. Gabe focuses on bringing people together and forming a community; this passion shows through his artworks and his projects.
