Marco Grassi (Grama) is a painter of Italian origin, born in 1966 and now living & working in Lugano, Switzerland. Marco creates remarkable portraits thanks to their realism, always accompanied by a special touch and a pinch of surrealism. The artist gives special importance to the thoroughness with which he handles the details of his not-very-traditional subjects.

Since the beginnings of his career, Marco Grassi developed a very personal style which praises the identity of the female subject in the specific moment in which they are painted. With his intense female portraits, Marco searches to captivate the viewer, by creating a silent dialogue between the subject and the audience.

Young emerging artist Gao Xintong (b. 1998 in Liaoning, China) graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy, and he’s now rapidly gaining international attention due to his bold and innovative compositions. Gao Xintong’s artistic practice focuses on deconstructing and reconstructing visual elements through the use of vivid colours. His work can be perceived as a “Portrait Shan-Shui”  where the emphasis is on the subjectivity of the painted object and empty spaces play a significant role in the composition. Like in the ancient Taoist philosophy, emptiness in his work is conceived as a dynamic force, which enables each depicted element to emerge and gain vitality.

Vladinsky was born in July, 1988, in the city of Onesti, a city located in the Moldovan area of ​​Romania. From the first years of school he was fascinated by visual arts because of a fine arts teacher.

Jason Sims is an Australian artist who works in the realm of perceptual art. Using the properties of light and reflection, he creates simple illusions of space in the form of contemporary sculpture, large-scale installation and public art. Blurring the lines between reality and illusion, Sims' captivating work defies notions of physical possibility.

Sims is most interested in producing work that serves as a vehicle to re-imagine the space encountered - to deconstruct perceived physical limitations - and facilitate a kind of meditative response allowing viewers to interpret the illusion of space created as reality. He particularly enjoys working with illusion for its ability to evoke the sublime and its power to interrogate our understanding of the world around us.

She is constantly curious about exploring and developing art that can be displayed anywhere other than the walls, such as a coffee table and other media.
