Giulia Bersani was a child when she first enjoyed the analog photography world. Ever since then, she captures intimate, innocent and melancholic photos. When I first saw her images it was hard for me to imagine such a delicate and quite mature work, approaching subjects as love, intimacy and beauty. […]
Sara Pongrac, Romanian self-taught photographer based in Cluj-Napoca, made a new series of photographs depicting the intimate routine of her close friends. Characterized by the same blue flavour she previously caught our eyes with, Sara proceeds to continue her ongoing project – Blue Project / Kenopsia. Her new series delivers […]
Germany based photographer Martin Neuhof was born in 1984 and perhaps the stories of his grandfather Friedrich Gahlbeck (the youngest photographer of the former GDR) made him start this wild journey. I would describe his style as a surreal, conceptual one, whilst he sees it more like an act of […]
It requires a considerable amount of ambivalence to capture both violence and tenderness in the same vessel. Photoptarmosis is definitely one of these containers.

Răzvan Dima is a photographer based in Bucharest, Romania. His activity crawls around the idea of being the judgy witness, pointing his finger at the wrong-doings happening around him and deconstructing them through photography. “I like to be the quiet observer”, he says. I draw inspiration from the apparently ordinary […]
Ivan Alifan Jdanov is a Russian-Canadian visual artist based in New York. His large scale oil voluptuous paintings are an ostentatious way of revealing addiction and broadness. Ivan’s mostly erotic chunky imagery naturalizes the modern gaze and decriminalizes sex in art. “These portraits are not an attempt to render physical […]

Inspired by selfie-culture, favorite actors, hip-hop music and Romanian underground lifestyle, the artist manages to deliver trippy, eye-catching pieces.
