An exciting new painting exhibition opened at the Chamber of Commerce this Thursday the 7th May!

Running until Friday the 7th August, Immortal Divine is an exhibition of seven heavenly-inspired paintings by local artist Christina Stagg. Drawing on the language of the Old Masters, Christina references Medieval and Renaissance techniques in the form of egg tempera on gesso panels.

The luminosity and translucency of the paints and medium translate perfectly into her other major preoccupations and influences, namely the balance and symbolism of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the discipline of the Neoclassical movement.

This collection celebrates the enduring relevance of traditional practice while
allowing it to evolve in new and meaningful ways.

Christina left the UK thirty years ago to work in Guernsey as a compliance
professional. Since leaving corporate finance a year ago, she now works as a non-
executive director for the Guernsey Arts Commission and is a full-time painter.

A law graduate from the University of Exeter and winner of the prestigious Drawing
Prize from Wimbledon School of Art, Christina also spent a year working as an
assistant valuer at Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers in London, specialising in Oriental
ceramics and works of art, before relocating to Guernsey.

The collection, Immortal Divine, marks Christina’s first solo exhibition in Guernsey.
The main aim of the exhibition is to ignite a revival of interest in the traditions and
divinity of Renaissance inspired art, and in the language of the Old Masters through
craftsmanship and technique.

The exhibition can be viewed at the Chamber of Commerce from the 7th May – 7th August 2026

Experience Cuba’s most internationally acclaimed guitar duo, featuring the trailblazing collaboration between Grammy-nominated composer Eduardo Martín and virtuoso guitarist Ahmed Dickinson Cárdenas, next Thursday the 14th of May at St James!

Their intergenerational partnership celebrates the depth and diversity of Cuban guitar music, weaving together classical, Afro-Cuban, jazz, rock, and cinematic influences into a vibrant and emotionally rich dialogue.

Ahmed Dickinson Cárdenas is one of the foremost ambassadors of Cuban classical guitar. A sophisticated performer and tireless advocate for his country’s music, he has carved out a unique path that bridges Cuba’s cultural heritage with the dynamism of the UK’s classical and world music scenes. Based in London, Dickinson Cárdenas has performed at major international venues and festivals, released award-winning recordings, and collaborated with renowned composers, including a decade-long partnership with Ñico Rojas. His playing is praised for its warmth, clarity, and lyrical intensity.

Eduardo Martín, born in Havana in 1956, is one of the most influential living guitarist-composers in Latin America. A graduate of Cuba’s Instituto Superior de Arte and a former student of Isaac Nicola, Martín has created a prolific body of work that spans solo, chamber, and orchestral music. His compositions, performed across five continents, fuse Caribbean rhythms with European classical traditions and modern idioms. He has toured extensively, received numerous international awards, and inspired generations of musicians through his teaching, recordings, and artistic leadership.
