SASA PAPPA

IG: @sasapappa

Sasa Pappa is a photography lover from Greece She aims to communicate via her photos

Everyday images can provide us with a different sense of aesthetics New Diverse The world can be different Looks at life using another perspective

Just like these trees. ‘Anticipation’ is her last project ΄ through which she wants to communicate the belief that something good will happen Life waits and dances leisurely until it ripens, bounces, explodes colors, begins again

ANDRÉA LOBEL

IG: @andrealobel

Andréa Lobel is a photographer who lives and works in the Netherlands, both in her studio and outside

In her work, she tries to capture certain observations like details of a gesture or gaze that could have passed by almost unnoticed. She works mainly in black and white, as she feels it strengthens her focus and leaves the observation somehow timeless

The latest work 'Breeze' consists of three high contrast black and white photographs In 'Breeze', she transferred the photos onto transparency-film and hung them in free-floating frames This way she tried to emphasize the fragility of passing moments

Although firmly framed and frozen by camera, the transparency-film leaves the images ethereal, as if unprotected and blending into the world.

VĚRA MARION K.

IG: @verakosovaart

Věra Marion K. is a young artist from the Czech Republic. Her path to art and creativity was very challenging Although she had been a creative person since childhood, she fell into depression and strong alcohol addiction during her study years. Thanks to treatment and art therapy, she found the meaning of her life in art. Lara Fabian's music became her greatest life and artistic inspiration, muse and liberation Today, she sees her experience with addiction as a huge gift that allowed her to perceive her feelings, put them into her paintings and thus speak to people.

EMMA WILDNER

IG: @emmawildnerart

Emma is originally from Hungary, and lives nowadays in Vienna She has always been connected to nature, animals and energies. It was a long way to rediscover her (lost) creativity and to dare to live it From panic disorder to self-love and her spiritual journey, all emotions, experiences are in the pictures.

The main component of Emma's work is her intuition,spontaneity and raw canvas Music, singing, dancing, painting and creating with her hands These are the things that inspire and complete her This is how she connects and allows her relationships to flourish

MIHAELA NASTASE

IG: @mihaela nastase

I love to cut and paste my emotions I am patiently choosing things that inspire me, going through all kinds of magazines, and I do it without thinking, elaborating, it’s like my eyes and my hands have an intimate affair with the scissors. And then I let my unconscious mind do the talking by rearranging on the immaculate white paper the pieces that build my dreams, but also my worst nightmares.

The collage art is, for me, a way to express my vision on different aspects of romance, regret, nostalgia, joy, materialism, beauty and everything else that makes up out twisted world And by doing this, I seek relief, entertainment, comfort, sometimes, even a sweet rush My mood is reflected within the complexity of the collage design Sometimes I need those bright colours, mingles contours and pure magic. Other times, I feel like a lot more is expressed by a lot less It depends While creating a collage, I can get lost in it for hours, time just stops. Pieces of paper could be like musical notes for the eyes that know how to listen

FRANCESCO PAINI

IG: @francesco paini

Francesco Paini is a figurative artist who predominantly expresses himself through drawing His artistic research is an investigation into the persistence of the image in its formal and conceptual sense In the series displayed here, the faces, inspired by iconic images of fashion photography, are taken out of context and emerge from a vibrant dark background The portraits appear to make their way and interrupt the viewer through an interference The visibly rough surface of the sheet challenges the idea of a comforting and glossy image The thick layer of reflective graphite, which makes the faces represented hardly visible when hit in a certain way by the light, suggests the evanescence of the figure as an icon

THOMAS FALKNER

IG: @thofalkner

Thomas Falkner lives in Berlin and is a self-taught artist

When photography and digitalization started coming together a good twenty years ago, it occupied him more and more in his spare time. Over the years he has developed his own style: highly reduced and distorted photographs in which structures, contexts and again perspectives become clear.

In this style we see a forgotten world in Berlin - the remains of an old factory, like a lost world in dirty green and red In contrast, we have the skyscrapers at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, a square that hosts the new, but also preserves memories of the old, where the square was split in two between the east and the west of Berlin Thomas has exhibited in Athens, London, Venice, Amsterdam and other European cities.

ANDREA CASSADY

IG: @andreacassady

Contemporary photography is made up of irreverent factors that are part of the microworld we live in every day. Andrea Cassady and her personal style are on a search for values, sexualities, genders, and micro-worlds that exist on the periphery of our minds, but to which she constantly lives next door Her lively style and her brilliant look through the lens, make up two important factors that she distinguishes with classic settings where the model and the light merge into new universes

This photographer based in Barcelona (Spain), trained in Madrid, Prague, and with photos exhibited under the baton of Instant Photographers in Barcelona, or ISO600 in Bologna, say everything and more about her Cassady is not just life, she is a creator, and her tools are the order of the day to change the norms established in art Irreverence? No, normalities are here to stay, and she is one of the best representatives of this new wave
