Antoinette Ferwerda

Antoinette Ferwerda is a mother, a gallery owner and an Australian artist known for creating bold artworks with a masterful use of colour and texture. From an early age Antoinette has been drawn to the alluring world of art, creating deep connections through abstract and metaphysical representations of the world around us.

Working in her studio situated behind the Gallery, Antoinette creates every artwork with her signature positive energy, artistic finesse and a wealth of experience. Her mixed media techniques set her work apart, harnessing transparent layering and rich inky drips just as important to her process as her sources of creative inspiration. These careful and skilful steps result in beautifully textured art that heroes colour, depth and flow.

Expansive florals become universal realms, three-dimensional panels shift architectural paradigms, and melodic rhythmic arches are instantly identifiable. Her work is represented in her Brighton gallery in Melbourne and leading art galleries in Sydney, Brisbane, New York and London.

Michael Bond

Michael is an abstract artist based in Queensland, Australia. His work is inspired by his emotion and how he sees the world around him.

His art is often described as dreamlike or ethereal, feminine and masculine at the same time and it has the ability to evoke a sense of memory or thought through powerful emotion in the viewer.

Alberto Petrivelli

The latest artist to be represented by the Antoinette Ferwerda Gallery.

Alberto Petrivelli was born in Orvieto, Italy, and grew up in Tuscany. Since the early 2000s he has lived and worked in London, developing a multidisciplinary practice that combines synthetic fibres, metals, clay, resin, oil, and acrylic to create works that blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Over the past two decades, Petrivelli has exhibited in London, the Netherlands, and Italy, gaining recognition for a distinctive style that captures movement, light, and fluidity. His works embody a "controlled chaos," where colours seem to break free from the canvas-suggesting a release from material concerns and a search for a more spiritual state.
