L QUIET BODY | R LOUD MIND 2026
Retreat. Transformation. Experiment. Discovery.
These four steps form a cycle. Again and again you withdraw, reorganize yourself, try things out - and grow. And with each cycle, your own inner power becomes clearer, more tangible and more consciously usable.
Because true power does not come from outside. It grows within -where courage meets honesty and change becomes a decision.
AURUM VEINS 2026
L | Black Current, R | Pale Tension
Why? • Aurum elevates it beyond „gold" • it feels art-historical, sculptural. • Veins references anatomy, earth, marble, energy channels.

Modeling is an additive process, as opposed to carving, the other main sculptural technique, in which portions of a hard substance are cut away to reveal form.

MOSES SUMNEY / storyteller
Sumney and his band recorded Live From Blackalachia in summer 2020. The album features performances of Græ and Aromanticism songs. Sumney directed the album’s film counterpart, Blackalachia. “Over the course of two days, we filmed 14 songs, totally live, the trees as our audience, the grasshoppers our background singers,” he explained in a statement. “Live From Blackalachia is a wild imagining of what can happen when we seek not just to reclaim nature, but to reintegrate with it.”

THE GRACE OF DANCE / EBINUM BROTHERS
„I Don’t Know If Dance Itself Can Make Change, But I Know We Can Make Change“
Victory and Marvel from the Ebinum Brothers, learned how to dance on their own, developing their own expressive style. Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria. They said, „ It was very difficult for people to actually accept us. But right now it’s changing, because I think people see the impact that we’re making in the world.“
Through and beyond their choreography, the duo has always honed in on themes that matter to them: racism, mental health, the planet. Themes that naturally, agonizingly, overlap.
My name is Istepan Obsidian, and i follow the video art of Victory and Marvel since the beginning.
They touched and thrilled me, with their movement of dance, esthetic, simpleness and the testi-mony. I’ve never seen something beautiful like this before.
Then I was starting to paint a portrait of them with the title, „ The Grace Of Dance“ Shortly afterwards the Brothers contacted and asked me to work together for their new video project „ A Beautiful Life “
Now, a dream came true. All paintings are in acryl on 100% cotton canvas, 150 x 100 cm.
In „ The Grace Of Dance “, i wanted to show their emotions of dancing, in their eyes.
A M E T H Y S T
My new paintings are my first step into a new technique and a new world.
Many cultures find spiritual overtones in amethysts. Often viewed as a stone of peace, some believe amethyst’s calming presence produces soothing dreams by bringing the dreamer more in tune with the Divine. This clarity and peacefulness also extends to the waking mind. Amethysts are said to help the mind flow freely in both mental and metaphysical dimensions. Many psychics keep this gem with their tarot cards or other oracular instruments.
I want to do something without natural facts. I want to show something unnatural, something you have to imagine. I was standing in front of a blank canvas and closed my eyes. And then, i was diving deep into the abstract painting. I felt something, i never had before. Freedom.
It was a expressive experience, to feel my energy of painting in a different way.
Fearless movement all the time.
The acrylic paintings are on 100 % cotton canvas, and the sizes are 150 x 100 cm.
BOYZ N THE HOOD / BACK IN DAYZ
y new mens series 'BOYZ N THE HOOD' is inspired by the 90s rapper.
When hip hop music first developed in the late 1970s, not many people knew about it.
It was created in the poorest districts of New York City by African American and Latino teena-gers as part of a hip hop scene that also produced breakdancing and graffiti art.
The old school area in the late 80s was very present in my childhood.
With this portraits of iconic rapper, i want to coming out from my childhood, to the right now.
90s nostalgia has been driving the fashion scene for several years now, and 90s hip hop fashion has been central to that revival.
Today, in the 21st century, hip hop became a major genre of popular music.
All paintings are acrylic paints on 100% cotton canvas.
The original sizes are 120 X 150 cm.
