Aucke Paulusma
Aucke Paulusma (Amsterdam, 1997) is a Dutch artist whose background in art history shapes his approach to painting and drawing. He holds a BA in Art History and an ReMA in Arts & Cultures from the University of Amsterdam, and has further developed his practice through mentorship at Turps Art School in London. Combining modernist techniques with classical themes, Paulusma contrasts carefully structured compositions with a vivid, intuitive use of color. His work moves between the personal and the societal, reflecting on the subtleties of daily life as well as broader contemporary questions.

Alice Amoroso
Alice Amoroso (b. 2001, Paris) is a visual artist. She explores the contrast between the relevance of contemporary subjects and the perceived anachronism of historical forms. She is particularly drawn to ancient visual traditions and iconographies, which, once reinterpreted and repurposed though craft techniques as engraving, screen printing, weaving or stained glass, invite us to critically examine the political and ethnic narratives that shape our understanding of the contemporary world. A 2024 graduate of the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, she was recently awarded residencies at both the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid and Villa Belleville in Paris.
In India, where philanthropy, patronage and state support for the arts is limited, Sana Rezwan founded PATI in 2022 to democratise arts and culture for all.
Based in the Indian state of Rajasthan (between Jaipur and Jodhpur), PATI’s initiatives foster a more holistic growth of arts and culture through artist residencies, commissioning, curating, education and professional development programmes and community exchange, reinforcing creativity as an important part of everyday life regardless of a person’s association or generation. This work is achieved through innovative collaborations with like-minded local and global luxury brands, non-profit institutions, galleries and individuals who share PATI’s ambitions.
All PATI’s programmes provide free access foregrounding the notion that art belongs to everyone, while maintaining a multi-layered approach to give the same gravitas to the work of emerging and non-artists as it does to those of an international standing.
