“I was asked to create a large scale drawing for the tiles of the hotel in a restaurant and a reception area. The hotel Casa Cook is situated in Greece, Rhodes and the theme of the decorative drawing was jungles. My task was to create jungles and integrated animals and a few unusual and magical half-half creatures.
The design of the hotel was created by the German studio. I was working in a collaboration together with Stefan Grüner an art director of Lambs & Lions Network, based in Berlin. ”
“I am primarily a portrait painter, lover of faces and emotions that can restore a look, an expression of body movement. I have a preference for rendering homage to the painting of the neoclassical period. the set of lights and colours that highlight the natural beauty of the models. A style that tries to get away from the dictates of modern representation of women to return to us some form of grace and gentleness.”
On the 500th anniversary of Hieronymus Bosch’s death, Milan-based artist Alessandro Boezio pays homage to the Dutch master through a series of surreal sculptures
“Exploring the intriguing interplay between reality and illusion, Boezio refers to the motifs of Bosch’s paintings, in particular ‘Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony’. Inspired by characters who try to refuse – or not – physical temptations, Boezio created a series of provoking sculptures in various anatomical formations. With some of them referring to the position during the prayer, and the others suggesting alluding to sexual positions, Boezio’s works teeter between the themes of spirituality and temptation.”

I was lucky to dance through the greatest performance ever dropped by mighty digital artist Joshua Davis at OFFF Festival. Teamed up with M.I.A's drummer Kiran Gandhi, Joshua created a live visual madness.
“A six month secret project incubated inside the Sub Rosa lab performed live at the OFFF Festival in Barcelona Spain. This 40 min rendering is from 27 unique, real-time, audio reactive systems to drive algorithmic animations. Each of the 27 animation systems we’re cue’d at key points in a 40 min track, with some new original music by Madame Gandhi, pre-mixed by Kiran and Alexia Riner. On stage, Kiran live drummed on top of the mix in addition to using OSC (Open Sound Control) to have her percussive hits change variables in the animation system. I also had a base set of variables that I could trigger via OSC that further controlled different aspects of the animation overall.”
Won't mind to have this type of sand and cement furniture in my loft designed by Fernando Mastrangelo
“Hyperrealist painter Kevin Peterson paints fairytale-like interactions of children and wolves, birds, and bears in scenes much different than the pastoral worlds of storybooks. Instead Peterson places the unlikely packs in distressed cities filled with decaying buildings and urban detritus. Despite the worn surroundings, the young girls in the paintings maintain a sense of innocence while they bravely explore the streets with their powerful compatriots.”

Talented photographer Elizaveta Porodina got new updated website full of fashion lookbooks and campaigns worth to review and admire just because her photography has a lot of references to fine art
“In her experimental fashion and fine art photography, Elizaveta Porodina travels through time and space, extracting the underlying emotions in her entrancing productions. The Moscow born studied clinical psychologist plays with melancholic symbolism, sets connotations, sometimes ambiguous, sometimes honest and obvious – her range widely varying between cinematic, fashion and almost documentary imagery. Whether in dramatic black and white or vividly colored artworks, the Munich based photographer is a master of dark romanticism.”

You might remember the rainbow Present Clock created by Scott Thrift few years ago. Nowadays he is repeating the success of faceless wall-mount clocks and dropped a new Kickstarter project for pre-ordering Today Clock.
The clear, intuitive design of Today takes the edge off of time. Using a 24-hour movement engineered and assembled in Germany, Today quietly moves at half the speed of a regular clock, making one full rotation every day.

You might remember voyeuristic photography of Parisian citizens by Gail Albert Halaban we posted few years ago. Here is New York residents caught through his lens.

Artist Sougwen Chung built a robot arm that draws in harmony with her in order to gain a better understanding of how humans relate to robots.
