Lantomo
Italian artist based in Barcelona Antonella Montes works under Lantomo moniker. She studied architecture in Italy, in Rome and Genoa; then moves to Spain, specialising in scenography and exhibition design. Just a few years ago, since 2010, Lantomo started to dedicate herself exclusively to painting, and her passion has definitely become a job. And in this journey, her stay of almost two years in Beijing, China, have left an indelible trace. Her drawings have become more accurate and detailed, her only colours the black and white, with touches of red, and the drawn faces have come to have Asian features.
“The graphite portraits I create are almost realistic, suspended in a personal universe between realism and vision, but I’m not interested in virtuous details, I look for the representation of the emotions of my subjects.
Drawing has always been present in my life, like a way of expressing myself. My portraits embody a feeling of isolation and introspection, involved in silence. Memory, fears and loneliness in this society are the subjects that obsess me.
I try to bring to the surface all traces of emotions behind a gaze.”
Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda

“Valencia-based duo Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda add a playful twist to mundane settings and architectural backdrops. Whether flaring a skirt into a wide, cheesy grin, posing to prop up a facade’s stripes, or gripping the tail of a balloon that looks like a tethered sun, their minimal compositions turn geometric elements and open spaces into theatrical sets ripe with humor and joy.” - via Colossal
By combining their spatial awareness and their artistic vision, primarily based on simple shapes and bold patterns, they have succeeded in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.

Soft Sculpture by Sergio Roger
Sergio Roger’s work is born from his constant search for inspiration in the ancient artistic representations of beauty. The artist reinterprets iconic elements of art history and decorative arts to break away with preconceived ideas by creating unique and elaborated textile sculptures.
Each of Sergio Roger’s works is Unique and is created from antique fabric remnants. The artist himself carefully selects these materials from antique collector stores. He chooses fabrics such as old linens and velvets, which carry the passing of time and bring soul to the work. For example, in his series of linen busts, he brings a new vision on this subject by replacing stone or marble with delicate pieces of antique linen. With this gesture, the artist wants to reflect on the idea of permanence and majesty that we associate with this traditional art form.
Jordi Diaz Alama Art
Artist and director of Barcelona Academy of Art Jordi Diaz Alamá has a vast relationships with academic and abstract ways of painting.
“Alamà offers through this series of saturated, vivid and imposing reds, a privileged peek inside the universe of the painter’s studio, the practice of working with life models and the vast plurality in sensuality. Red Studio synthesises the many layers of technical research the artist has acquired over the last decade. Academicism and abstraction coexist again on the canvas: a new aesthetic chapter carried out by an overwhelming expressive force in the form of a dance between the measured and the vigorous brushstroke.”
“Red Studio has been developed in parallel with another of Alamàs’s ambitious series of paintings illustrating scenes of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Both series have grown in the same space – the artist’s studio – a place that can too often become hell in itself. The fire of the Dantesque Hell seems to crawl into these classical anatomical studies and envelop the figures with an abrasive red enamel, the main unifying thread of the series. Similarly, the works from the #ClásicosDesollados series also make an appearance, engulfed in flames and hung at the bottom of the Red Studio‘s works.” - words by Albert Navales
Santi Zoraidez – New Normality Reel
Santi Zoraidez shared a collection of his best 3D work done in 2020
“It has been a difficult year for all of us. A year full of complications, fears, anxiety and frustration. I feel like a landmark year, an opportunity to start over, grow and be better. Personally, I have to say that even with everything that was happening around me I have been able to do great things and I am grateful for that. Things that seemed difficult to achieve at the beginning of the year. That’s why I wanted to make this edit with a selection of the best work I have been doing during the last years. As a full stop and move to the next step from here. I’ve lost 20kg and am running almost every day on the beach in Barcelona, the city I’ve dreamed of living in for a long time. It feels great how ideas come to mind again as I do it. ”

It's a visual essay that addresses how human bodies merge to other digital mediums, addressing 2D photography with 3D illustrations in this collaboration.
SKIN DEEP
The ability to recognise finest nuances and deviations when observing the appearance of a person is often tested by the abundance of purely digitally created bodies in cinema, print and online. Utilising a combination of photography and 3D elements we created a series of images that show a progression from the original human shape towards an abstracted virtual representation.
