Max Sauco

Max Sauco was born in Irkutsk in 1969, and admitted to the Union of Designers of Russia in 1998. This digital artist is referred to as the founder of photo manipulation in Russia. Inspired by surrealism his world is like a Dreamscape pulling you further in by every detail. His work is erotic and his stories look strangely disturbed, in a nice way that is. Fascinating and amusing.

Olivier Christinat

Swiss photographer Olivier Christinat is an independent photographer and teacher. The Beautiful black and white pictures are from his earlier work 'Apocryphes'. The sober, simple approach and subtle lighting add to the whole atmosphere. As the title gives it away, there is the biblical reference, the metaphors...but no need to panic you can enjoy his work without any religious notion...

Colored work from the 'Nue' series.

Lee Jin Ju

"Life wanders, but memories remain"; from the artist's note.

'an old midday'

Korean artist Lee Jin ju's paintings are curious and strange. Floating little landscapes scattered with objects reborn from negative memories and events. Her paintings are soft and delicate, a lot of things seem to be out of place and incomplete. Her Quest to figure out in what  way memories survive or what the boundaries are between memories, dreams and conscience, is recorded in these extraordinary paintings.
