More about the artists:
Theresa Berlin
Theresa Berlin describes her work as a journey into the unknown, guided by intuition. The process begins with the application of layers of colour and often also with the addition of pieces of paper, which she tears up, places on the canvas, paints over and partially exposes again. It is an inner dialogue, with an open end and unexpected twists and turns.
Dino Mehic Cama
Dino Mehic Cama is a Danish artist. Excerpts and moods of real places form a center of reference in his oeuvre. Through his work, life crisis and everyday problems are distorted, alienated and made available for the viewer. Their successive abstraction turns the mark making into the almost symbolism that dominates Camas’s unmistakable visual language and allows you to have both a strong and sculptural experience at the same time. Working on both canvas and most noted wood as the key speaker.
Philipp Geist
“I work internationally as an artist with the media projection mapping, painting, photography and print." Philipp Geist, born in Witten (Ruhr) in 1976, lives and works in Berlin and in Weilheim
Susanne Kirsch
Susanne Kirsch (born 1966 in Frankfurt) is a freelance artist. Her career has led her to new projects and challenges - both in life and in art. Her studies of colour painting at the art academy in Kolbermoor and Bad Reichenhall lend her painting groundbreaking accents. Through the interplay of colours, she skilfully creates the illusion of spatial depth in her multi-layered compositions.
Vera Klaus
Vera Klaus is a German artist whose paintings combine a lot of positive energy, cheerful emotions and colourful creativity. Music is a must when creating her works and she wants to transfer the happiness she feels when painting directly to the viewer through her works. To create she uses various materials such as spray and acrylic paints as well as chalk.
Nadine Kupfer
"When I paint, I feel free, without any worries." Nadine Kupfer is a German artist who paints intuitively and is guided by her emotions and good music. Her art arises from the moment, from the pure joy of creating and the irrepressible curiosity about what colors and shapes can tell. The colors bubble out of her, are alive, untamed, and each work tells a story of her inner soul journey.
Helen Shulkin
In the interstitial space where human anatomy converges with architectural form, Helen Shulkin’s work uncovers a shared essence. Each piece reveals the visceral parallels between the human body and the built environment, capturing their intertwined vulnerabilities and resilience. Her canvases are not representations of physical spaces but dissections of their underlying anatomy, exposing the sinews, vessels and tissues.

Eszter Bognár
Eszter Bognár explores the infinity of nature, the complexity of human emotions, and the impact of technology on our perception of reality. Her paintings evoke the connection between earth and sky and the transcendent journey of the soul, creating a dreamlike, ethereal effect with pastel tones and blurred contours.
Michael Graeper
Michael Graeper, born in Mexico City in 1968, studied graphic design in Nuremberg. He has lived in Berlin for over 25 years - in a city where he looks for clarity and structure in all the chaos. Although his work is intuitive and anything but structured, it does get to the bottom of things. His works abstract the chaos and disorder and bring it back to the beginning.
Ładnie

Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland, and after stations in Madrid, Gdansk, Wroclaw, and Toulouse she currently lives and works in Berlin.

Hey Bonito
Javi Luque a.k.a. Hey Bonito is a mixed media artist driven by the joy of his inner child and the electric pulse of good vibes. His art isn’t about words; it’s about feeling. He believes colors are the language of emotions, and through vibrant palettes and bold patterns. He aims to spark a soulful connection that speaks directly to the heart.
Ronja Radau
Ronja Radau is an abstract artist, living in northern Germany. Her work is deeply influenced by the liquid characteristics of the materials she uses, such as liquid acrylic paint and watercolour, which allow her to capture the ephemeral nature of feelings and enable each piece to evolve organically. Her art is a reflection of the inner world, where colours, textures, and materials blend to evoke a sense of depth and emotion.
Valerie Sorg-Mayr
Rooted in the dynamic interplay between intuition and natural forces, Valerie Sorg-Mayr creates captivating abstract works that evoke the fluidity, depth, and transformative power of the ocean and landscapes. Her paintings are a visual journey through emotional movement and natural rhythms, where colors, textures, and forms seamlessly merge to reflect the harmony and contrasts found in nature.
