Sana Habibi Rad

Sana is a children's book illustrator. Her childhood was spent exploring her grandfather's gardens and fields, immersing herself in the world of her mother's embroidery and adventuring in her father's small library and illustrating his fictional stories. This period influenced her life and career and she fell in love with nature, storytelling, dreaming and creating. And issues such as humanity, friendship, caring for animals and the environment became an important part of her vision. With each stitch, every print, every cut, she weaves her love for nature into her art. And just like nature, she is free in the execution of her works. She pours her heart and soul into every creation, imbuing each piece with a piece of herself.

Julia Zborowska

Painting for Julia is being in the moment. 

She paints without stopping until it is finished. 

And while she is doing it, she feels an excitement similar to being in love.

This turns into happiness, which helps her to hold on to a painting 

she doesn't know what it is exactly, but it's a pure message transfer and the time is being saved.

“Find out who you are and tell it to the others.”

That is her main motto now.

She started painting again 2 years ago after a break of almost 11 years - connected with a fear of showing her work.

Now she is free from that.

Matt Ramsay

Matthias Ramsey verwendet den Bildtyp der Weltlandschaft, um biologische Konzepte und Narrative mit surrealen Elementen zu vermengen. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch verspielt entwickelte Motive und Symbole aus, die häufig aus der Biologie stammen, jedoch dazu dienen, eine breite Palette sehr persönlicher und politischer Themen zu veranschaulichen. Durch zahlreiche Details thematisiert er gleichzeitig die Angst vor ökologischen und politischen Veränderungen sowie seine Faszination für deren Zusammenhänge.

Paula Flores

Using rocks, branches, plants, bacteria, and fungi as guides, storytellers of the history of the world and the symbiotic relationships that had to be established and kept in balance for the existence of what we know as nature Paula Flores explores our understandings of who we are as humans out and inside of the natural world by applying multispecies mediator roles and inverting it in as many ways possible; pushing herself to leave the concepts and comfort of what it is to be either human or nature.

Mehdi Rahimi

He has always found immense inspiration in the human body, considering it as a profound source of biology.

Mehrta Shirzadian & Mattia Donà

Our body has always been controlled by historical religious pressures that limit personal agency and modern capitalism that objectifies it for profit. Neoliberal focus on individuality also does not help; it isolates us, keeping our bodies, which are interfaces for interaction, in parallel worlds, never sharing the same space. Mehrta and Mattia capture this essence through analog photography, highlighting the intimate and unpredictable nature of moments.
