About us
As digital artists we realize that we are part of a very fast growing movement. For this reason we want to remain independent and like to keep our creations under own management, instead of selling them on one of the many large websites that offer online art by hundreds of thousands in every conceivable form. Because of this choice we will probably not reach a very large audience for a very long time, but that is a challenge we embrace with pleasure.
Andrei Linhart
A versatile and open-minded talent with a clear vision of general human acceptance and respect for each other aswell for nature as his main artistic mission. Youngest member of the ProxiArt group, born in Eastern Europe but raised in the Flemish part of Belgium thanks to the loving efforts of his foster parents. To gain as much inspiration as possible, he regularly travels, which is reflected in his works. Andrei's favorite quote: "Sympathy is what we need my friend."
Christiaan Verhoef
As a history teacher, he developed a strong predilection for Dutch art, especially from earlier times. His works are often Dutch themed and are even popular outside the Netherlands. Although inspired by the great Dutch painters of the golden age, he still manages to create his own style, in which the subject can be either contemporary or ancient. Christiaan's favorite quote: "Sometimes you have to look back to realize how far you've come."
Ariya MacPherson
This emerging British talent may be young but with a graphic design education and an innate sense of art she is a real asset to our group. Her strength lies in merging modern reality into fantasy 3d art with a special emphasis on lots of color and deep lighting. Her creations often reflect pop culture and nightlife fused with an expansive imagination. Ariya's favorite quote:
"The world is full of beautiful people, for those who see it."

With a clear vision to present his subject as attractively as possible, he creates designs that are a feast for the eyes. Living in a small studio in the heart of Amsterdam, there is plenty of inspiration. Gudo's favorite quote: "Your imagination is your only limitation."
