Zlatko is a designer who responded on the call for designer on the blog. 
He told me he is reading the list. However he already did some work for 
mageia. Have a look at bug #261
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261

dtsiamasiotis has attend to many meating. Also some you were attending 
too 
(http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-artwork/2011/mageia-artwork.2011-07-06-17.11.html). 
He also was responsible for new icons for harddrake2.

Dimosthenis .... I'm not sure, to be honest. I put him to the list, but 
dtsiamasiotis was meant. So we can discard him I guess.

Well, who do want on the list? Everyone who played a part for the 
artwork team and is on the list. As rda pointed, those have a vote for 
representatives etc.
rda lead all meetings before I did and founded the artwork group. Oliver 
did a lot for the wiki especially in question of design and is actively 
part of a lot discussions around artwork.
AlexN83 could never be contact since mga1, as you said. But as we are 
still using his work and he is always welcome to came back, I would put 
him on the list.
Ennael ... a round the release of Mga1 she cared a lot of artwork and 
made sure we had a nice KDE menu icon (that has not come from the 
artwork team).
