HECTOR PALACIOS

IG: @ector palacios

Hector Palacios's photography comes from his roots in Mexico City and his performance background provides his work with a clear need for narrative and motion

His work has been awarded by the Minimalist Photography Awards and exhibited at the Galerie Photobastei Zurich Last year, Hector's portrait series was published at the Issue 27 of the Musée Magazine alongside one of his personal heroes Alex Prager. In 2023 Hector has been invited to exhibit his work at the Florence Biennale and the ARTIFACT gallery in New York.

Hector endeavors to constitute a fictional work that speaks more to him than the real world His use of color is a transformative element that extracts him from the clarity of reality

Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float or to rise in a fluid when submerged These photos came from my interest in the beauty of bodies floating in the water and the water texture resolved in the photograph, simulating the texture of paint and brush strokes

IG: @guyve boroumand art

A G B is a Swiss-Born artist, based in Berlin He uses the creation process as a tool & a healing - playing with forms and depth, chaos and control, he slowly found his own way of expressing himself through abstract drawings. After studying architecture for two years, he decided to focus his time on personal projects, combining art and music into a self realization medicine. He is now working on his second series, deepening his study and style before making the step towards bigger works For this exhibition, he decided to expose two pieces of his previous series, created in 2022, as well as one of the latest series In the past, he focused his study on forms and depth, while trying out a multitude of possibilities within one specific style In the newest series, he detached himself from the white spectrum and replace it with different shades of brown color made with tobacco - bringing a strong organic touch to the last genre That immense change opened up a new universe of texture, emotions and complexity within the same idea and style

STEF WILL

IG: @StefWillArt

Stef Will is a London-based fine artist exploring the Unseen Her investigations into perception, using the thermal lens to make invisible energy fields accessible to the human eye, invites the viewer to meditate on concepts of truth as well as the perceived nature of reality

The film explores the algorithmic gaze in relation to power and control by appropriating surveillance tools used by the powers-that-be. Via the far-infrared lens, 111 subjects randomly encountered in public spaces were covertly indexed by measuring their temperature, thus breaching the body’s boundary, capturing their thermal photograph, and logging surveillance data about each subject, including 3-word-coded geolocations

Her work has been shown internationally, including the UK, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and South Korea

PARIS SERGIOU

IG: @parissergiou2004

Paris Sergiou is a young artist who presently lives and works in Nicosia, Cyprus He has been running his own studio since the age of 16. His work incorporates authenticity, honesty, creative play and mapping of a parallel world, which he moulds in order to share! Born 2004 his artistic vocabulary is internally excavated He was raised in an artistic environment but this is not the determining part Curiosity is indeed hereditary In Paris’ case, his environment was a positive contributor, as it recognized, appreciated and supported his ‘’being’’. The base of his thought, however, is what is crucial in this case. It is so different to his environment and for this reason we are allowed to discuss the authenticity of his work!

SUSANA FAUSTINO

IG: @smac home

Susana is a portuguese art teacher who born in Lisbon in 1968 but lives and work in Oporto city. She has a master s degree in Art and Design Education from university of Surrey/IPVC and currently teaching arts in the 3rd cycle of basic education She also has academic training in ceramics and pottery, having formed, together with three other potters, the ceramics studio “Ocre” in the early 90s Painting is, for her, an intrinsic motivational need It is through painting that she relaxes, free herself from the tension of everyday life, and fulfill herself. She is usually inspired by nature, spaces and objects worn down by time or traditions from her country Her artistic work starts from a concept, but rarely from a project or sketch. It gives her me more pleasure to work in an intuitive way. Most of her paintings are abstract, allowing a wide interpretation to the observer She often uses the mixed technique and the materials that she essentially applies in her work are, pigments, cement, plaster and sand With her work she hopes to sensitize the viewer to the appreciation of everything that inspires her, such as old objects and buildings and the natural environment that surrounds us.
