#ArtistFirst
We think that art is both very personal in its interpretation
but that it takes all its meaning when it is shared.

UTOPIC by Mona Vulpoiu (1 & 2): designer based in Berlin, Mona Vulpoiu mainly designs rings but also some earrings and necklaces. She is inspired by great artists such as Van Gogh or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and it is a real personal favorite!

TOBIAS WISTISEN by the artist of the same name: this Danish designer is influenced by the Parisian Haute Couture and by John Galliano, with whom he did his first workshop. His creations are raw, unique and are imagined first and foremost by thinking about the way the material ages. He shares his work mainly on Instagram.
photography_
ROBERTO KUSTERLE (3) : Roberto Kusterle has always been close to the visual arts, but it is when he takes up photography that he tackles themes such as the relationship between men, animals and plants. He also gives a lot of importance to the body, to the gaze and he likes when the spectator questions himself.
ALVARO VILLARRUBIA (4) : this Spanish photographer and teacher exercises his talent mainly in the field of fashion. The body is often at the heart of his work with poses and outfits that seem to distort his models.
HADLEY HUDSON : Unlike the other photographers quoted here, Hadley Hudson prefers spontaneous moments of everyday life. Ah yes and her universe is only open to young people that she photographs exclusively! Instagram
JOSEPH HÄXAN (5): if you're sensitive to horror movies, we're not sure this Australian artist's work will be your favorite. His creations revolve a lot around the body, blood and stories of Satanism. Ah we told you that it could not please everyone but one thing is sure, impossible to remain indifferent ! Come and have a look at his Instagram to see his work.
MATHIEU TRAUTMANN (6) : a lot of sensitivity, light work and very pure subjects. His creations are very soft and he emphasizes the artistic side of certain objects, such as nail polish, whose artistic potential is not really suspected. He collaborates notably with Shiseido, Chanel, Dior, YSL and he shares all his work on his page Instagram.

ALEJANDRO ALMANZA PEREDA : In his sculptures, photos and videos, this Mexican artist plays with gravity, which seems to have lost its effect.

JEANNE VICERIAL (10) : she makes a big work of creation around two materials: flowers and fabric. Two quite different types of creations since her floral works are very joyful and sparkling whereas when she works with fabric, a more modern and strict atmosphere emerges from her photos.
JIM SKULL : On his Instagram, his skulls are in the majority but he also shares vintage photos of personalities he pays tribute to. Two quite different styles but which finally go well together.
JUDAS COMPANION : Jasmin Reif is the artist behind Judas Companion. Her style is recognizable and she puts her works on all types of media (painting, mask, video, photo). Instagram.

MELISSA GAMWELL : On Instagram, the artist shares her vision of art on a daily basis but professionally speaking she is recognizable for her cutlery especially gold spoons that look like they are melting.
MIA PEARLMAN : For this artist, destruction is at the heart of her work. Although some of her creations are quite distinct from each other, the paper is always crumpled, the cardboard is torn and the constructions are wobbly but the whole is meticulously carried out. To follow this artist on a daily basis, subscribe : Instagram.
NATALIA SHILOVA (13) : At the heart of very minimalist creations, Natalia Shilova, French artist, mixes living nature (fruits, vegetables, flowers) and stillness like minerals.

JAMES ZUCCO : For James Zucco, paint is used differently since he dilutes his colors enormously and he uses drips to create his works. Instagram.

STEPHEN DOHERTY : his work is a reflection of what surrounds him (relationship, family, nature ...). He uses flowers and their petals a lot to create forms. Instagram.

FECAL MATTER : between make-up, facial prosthesis and photo retouching, Fecal Matter offers a very futuristic vision of the human being, totally out of step with standards and above all a little bit of the alien side.
