He entered the international art scene with representations in art fairs in London, Chicago, Miami and New York. Faassen's work is a modern exploration of traditional beauty, including its vanity. For him the woman symbolizes the beauty.

After his studies in photography, he commits to several types of artwork, travelling and philosophic speculation. The visual poetry of the artist shows a temporary and timeless beauty: the unavoidable and poetic decline of everything.
George Heidweiller
George currently works and lives in Holland but he spent many years in Santa Fe. He likes to travel, especially in India and Thailand, places that have left their clear imprint in his works. He uses a mixed technique: images silk-screened on canvas and acrylic. During the process, the individual images of the city, come together and create a new and unique landscape.
Max Gasparini
Max Gasparini lives in Bergamo Province. Self-taught, he has been painting since he was really young without the urge to show his work. The female face as a whole, representation of the Universe (from Plato) and intended as a figuration of the Mother Earth is the subject of his work of the last two years.
Russell Chapman
Russell started studying photography when he was 10 years old, teaching himself all the aspects of art and science that are needed in order to produce a photograph that will bring pleasure to others. Photography is about creating a moment that encapsulates not only what was seen at that moment but what was also felt.
Edland
Man
Edland attended the Academy of Art and specialized in photography, painting and fashion illustration. In Milan he started to work with various Italian fashion magazines. His primary sources of inspiration are music and the glamour world. In his artworks he is searching for something new, mixing handwork and digital techniques for creating personal projects.
Alex and
Felix
Photographers Alex Gertschen and Felix Meier are really engaged photographers that not only make advertising photography but also art photography. Their name is synonym of innovative and involving photography. For their shots they create imaginative and surreal worlds as a background of their photos. Also notice the art pictures in the staircase and Prijeko Restaurant, made by this famous couple.
Bea van Dorpe
Bea got love for sculpture from the family. She usually works with clay, but also with bronze. Her sculptures are people or androids, emerging from the ancestral land and created with love for the material. They are peaceful, a blend of spiritual freedom and formal demeanour. Her creatures appear to come from Pompeii, creatures that carry the memory of a forgotten civilization. Their images radiate a sense of eternity.
Alexander Vogels
Alexander is an extraordinarily gifted artist with interest in primitive cultures. However, for Alexander a figuration is not an end but a support of the colour composition. Frequently recurring elements as ladder, mask and vehicle are not symbols but playful building blocks that give guidance to his abstract colouring game.
