The Artists We Support
The heart of Arteria beats through the artists we work with.
We collaborate with emerging and mid-career creatives who embody experimentation, authenticity, and a strong personal voice.
Each artist we support brings a unique perspective — and together, they form the living ecosystem of Arteria.
In this space, we highlight the artists who have grown with us through:
Exhibitions and curatorial projects
1:1 coaching and mentoring
Residencies and collaborative processes
Long-term artistic development
Our mission is to elevate talent, amplify voices — especially female and underrepresented ones — and build a community where art becomes a catalyst for transformation.
Samantha Torrisi
Catania, Italy — Painter
Samantha Torrisi (b. 1977) lives and works on the slopes of Mount Etna, where the surrounding landscape becomes both subject and emotional catalyst for her practice. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania, she combines painting with video and photography, exploring the tension between nature, memory, and contemporary environmental issues.
Her atmospheric, dream-like scenes dissolve the boundaries of the real, transforming landscapes into mental and emotional spaces. Samantha has exhibited widely across Italy and abroad — in galleries, museums, foundations and international projects, including collaborations with Monira Foundation (New York), Fondazione Orestiadi, and the Museo delle Trame Mediterranee, where she is part of the permanent collection.
Her recent solo show Aura (2025), curated by Laura Sottosanti and Oscar Manrique, marked her first exhibition in Madrid with Arteria. Torrisi is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Premio Speciale Save the Planet, and since 2022 has been part of the SACS Artists Archive of the Riso Museum of Contemporary Art of Sicily.
Laura Fridman
Paris, France — Visual Artist, based in Tel Aviv
Laura Fridman is a French artist whose practice emerges from her background as a classical dancer trained at Yale University. Her paintings revolve around the female figure, challenging cultural constructions of beauty through elongated forms, delicate gestures, and quiet distortions.
Fridman moves fluidly between figuration and abstraction, creating scenes where geometry, fragility, and strength coexist. Her work reflects the discipline and emotional depth of dance, offering a poetic lens into themes of embodiment, vulnerability, and transformation.
As the artist describes:
“I’m interested in what is concealed and what is revealed — our strength and fragility, our perfection and pain.”
Carlos Enfedaque
Zaragoza, Spain — Painter, based in Berlin
Carlos Enfedaque (b. 1994) is a Berlin-based painter whose work centers on the ambiguity of identity and perception. Educated at the University of Zaragoza, ARCA-EUAC in Coimbra, and Universitat Politècnica de València, he approaches painting as an intuitive and impulsive act.
Working primarily in oil on linen, his portraits and human figures investigate the shifting boundaries of the self, inviting viewers to question what is seen and what is imagined.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Arteria Art Gallery, SETAREH Berlin, Galería Nueva (Madrid), and Las Naves (Valencia).
