Mathilde Karrèr loves accessories, color, and flowers to create lavish yet subtle compositions with a captivating narrative. Half-way between paintings and movie stills, her photographs are elaborate, visually-rich micro worlds with knowingly chosen details.
Her lighting expertise and the wish to make every image premium, texturised and rich, this is what makes her photography stand out. Many of her works, she develops and styles herself, you can call it a very hands-on way of working.
“The art of painting, in many styles, have subconsciously, a big influence in my work.
Also late 20th century movies, the production and set design, I find very inspiring. I like to approach a project as a director, set designer and problem solver in one.
Certain themes will always re-emerge in my work, a strong connection to the classical still life off course, however I like to experiment, try new things, push my own reference framework”

“On a both practical and conceptual level, in my artworks, I always try to express and give artistically shape to the energies that I experience in my life as a sportsman. The artistic result in my artworks comes from accumulated personal experiences and many years of experiments with different art materials, with my body and my mind. Combining art with sport and the specific elements of these two different life styles, shaped my passion for art, which is the most distinct and strong part of my personality. Now, I can express myself more freely since I found my original way of making artworks and performing.”
Russian team of designers lead by art director Roma Erohnovich shared their latest case - visual identity for Porsche Sportscar Together Day that happened in Moscow.
“Today, the very word "Porsche" is pretty much a synonym for motorsport. It is a special ideology and a distinctive unique approach to design. 70 years ago, Ferdinand Porsche, a designer himself, laid the foundation for the brand's DNA and expressed the brand's core values. On June 8, 1948, Porsche 356 "No. 1" Roadster kicked up the road dust for the first time.”
“Porsche Sportscar Together Day is an international festival and a tribute to a significant event — the launch date of the very first Porsche car. It was held in Russia in September 2019. At the Moscow Raceway, Porsche enthusiasts opened the racing season, witnessed the premiere of the new 911 and Cayenne Coupé, celebrated the 5th anniversary of the Porsche Experience Center, soaked up the sports atmosphere and spirit, and marked the road with their brake tracks.”
“The main challenge of this project was, first and foremost, to work on the brand’s field, combining different branches of visual communication of Cayenne Coupé, 911, Sportscar Together Day, and Porshe Motorsport. Using a minimal amount of graphic tools, we created the identity for the festival, POSM design, staff uniforms, interior and exterior design of the location, and cars.”
“As a starting point, we used the cult of sports aesthetics and notable design techniques that have already become somewhat of a fetish in the Motorsport fans world. We thought, what if we designed a badge, a track map, a garage box, and staff hoodies as if we were creating a sports car wrap? That is why all the materials have a single principle in their core. It is fully revealed in the key visual where the new Cayenne Coupé is wrapped in the signature graphics of a festival just like a race car would be.”

Bite tongue, deep breaths
Azamat Akhmadbaev (b.1991) is a visual artist who lives and works in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He works across many disciplines including painting, photography, video and digital art.

BITE TONGUE, DEEP BREATHS, 2020 is a part of an ongoing series of digital artworks by Azamat Akhmadbaev. This artwork continues to explore the limits of digital art world, and it was inspired by a song by Clams Casino & Imogen Heap ‘I’m God’.
Having taken the repeating words ‘bite tongue, deep breaths’ from the song, the artist has transformed a sampled song’s melody and text into the colorful artwork with infinite number of layers. Using glitched, vandalized images and texts (in a special, manually designed fonts) as brushes on a digital canvas, Akhmadbaev represents a dualism of the digital and the real, physical world. Technically, the artist checks out the ability of auto and manual software tools to create the image with glitched, lost, degraded effects. Conceptually, the artist launches the self-reflexive process with a manifestation of his attitude to the legacy of the post-war (abstract painting) and 90’s (usage of computer technologies in art) periods. And references to the popular song are the digitally manipulated links with culture and time in history discourse.

IT’S A LIVING is not just a statement but it is also a life philosophy for Ricardo Gonzalez, a designer, and artist from Durango México currently living in Brooklyn. His signature script style can be easily recognised from large scale murals to commercial work for some of the biggest brands to a simple sticker in the streets.
The ambiguity in the typographical messages continually creates a dialog between the viewer and the artwork. “A word is an image” and an image can be interpreted in so many ways, the direct approach of typography has been an exploring path where the main goal is to question our daily living and to produce a positive impact. After all, it’s a living.
