Martine Dahm, also known as MaDam, was born in 1977 in Luxembourg and always dreamed of becoming an artist. However, as her parents and teachers believed in learning a "real profession", she studied architecture and has been working in this field since 2001. She is married, mother of 2 children, and has lived in Hoesdorf, Luxembourg since 2004. In her free time, she makes music and enjoys creative pursuits, walking, and cycling. Under her artist name MaDam, she fulfilled one of her greatest dreams in 2021 with her first exhibition "Faarweg Impressioune vum Bam". The inspiration for this exhibition came during walks in the woods with her children: she attempted to capture the diversity of trees in her paintings, blending reality and abstraction. Her works show a certain influence of Impressionism, her long-favored artistic movement. After the trees, which still appear, she engaged with other subjects: trees are replaced by buildings, and her paintings show impressions from various trips, another passion shaping Martine's life. Her latest paintings explore various natural phenomena and feelings. MaDam also creates epoxy resin pendants: some depict her paintings in miniature, others combine dried flowers, natural materials, and color.\nMonique Dahm, known as TiMón, born in 1980 in Luxembourg, has been involved with art in the broadest sense since childhood: she painted and crafted, danced, made music, and the creativity knew no bounds. After artistic studies, she pursued her teenage dream of becoming a primary school teacher. Art accompanied her throughout her life in many forms. Although music was predominant for a long time, a health issue and a short break from daily life brought Monique back to her roots: creating and crafting with everything she had on hand. Art became a therapy. The creative process gripped Monique until, together with her sister, the idea of sharing the stories their artworks tell through an exhibition was born. The two sisters had already "played" exhibitions and painting contests as children, with invented participants. Why TiMón? Monique Tintinago-Dahm discovered that her husband’s last name combined with her first name initials formed an interesting word: “el timón,” a helm. For Monique, her art is like a helm, guiding people to beautiful paths through their interpretations of her artworks.
