Peppone
Peppone received 500 Tintin albums from his father and is always looking to expand his comic book collection. He describes this collection as his "paper heritage" and uses it "to create artistic encounters with our memories and humanity." Peppone's vibrant sculptures and mixed media works of well-known comic book characters challenge us to question our conventional views of what art should be. In his mixed media works, he places the heroes of our childhood in situations with iconic references, inviting the viewer to recall the strength of certain photographs, films, posters or historical events. In this way, his works penetrate the roots of our cultural memory, which the artist interprets in a new and humorous way.

Isabelle Scheltjens
Isabelle Scheltjens has been interested in art since her youth. She studied at SISA, the Antwerp City Institute for Decorative Arts and Crafts. Her husband's glass design inspired Isabelle to work with the same material. It took years of intense practice and juxtaposition of countless pieces of colored glass to refine her method and truly master color theory. She developed a unique glass fusing technique that fuses pieces of glass of different colors, sizes and textures together at about 800°C.

Charles Fazzino
Charles Fazzino, born in New York in 1955, is one of America's best-known artists. The son of a Finnish sculptress and an Italian designer, he appeared at a young age with his first exhibitions after studying at the School of Visual Arts, one of the leading American colleges for art and design. Fazzino established three-dimensional pop art globally and is today the most famous 3-D pop artist in the world. His comic-inspired paintings speak of the lively and glittering life of the metropolises, especially his hometown of New York. But Fazzino has also long since discovered a heart for Europe, as documented by numerous works he has dedicated to cities such as London, Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt. Fazzino is equally concerned with sporting themes. He is a passionate sports fan and has been the official artist for the American Superbowl for years. For Fazzino, art is, as he says, an elixir of life that makes people smile. Anyone who has experienced the elaborate process by which Fazzino's 3-D works are created knows how to appreciate the artist's artistry and extraordinary talent: First the sketch, then the painting, finally the lithograph. Then the individual pieces are meticulously cut out and precisely pasted in up to three layers to the appropriate places. Only then is a Fazzino work of art complete.

Bram Reijnders
Anyone who has ever experienced Bram Reijnders in the flesh at a vernissage knows what to expect. The artist is always good for a surprise and knows how to amaze his audience with original ideas and unexpected interludes. This, too, shows that the Dutchman is a true multi-talent whose works are thoroughly authentic, extravagant and autobiographical. One who, in a sense, allows himself to be driven: both by life and by art. This attitude towards life and understanding of art is expressed again and again in his works. The message is: "Feel free - we keep moving, nothing stands still". The depictions play with fictitious parallel worlds of beautiful appearances, of dreams and illusions that are ironically broken. The viewer is in the middle of it all and asks himself the question: what is still reality and where does the illusion begin? The powerful color palette makes the works literally explode, reviving the spirit of Pop Art, as the works radiate energy and rebellion.

Joel Amit
Joel Amit was born in Jerusalem in 1982. His interest in painting, sculpture and design was aroused at a young age. Initially, he experimented with wood, metal and paper - the goal was to create large and new forms from small "snippets". Joel Amit finds the process of shaping metal - a heavy and cold material - into butterflies, fish, birds and feathers liberating. Joel Amit's installations give the impression of absolute lightness and weightlessness. In his work he is always looking for an extra dimension - a hidden layer and a challenge for the eye.

Craig Alan
The artist got the idea of replacing the smallest picture elements with people in order to create motifs when he took photos of a wedding party on the beach from the balcony of a flat on the 6th floor in Florida. When he later looked at the pictures, he discovered that the collection of people in the photo had the appearance of an eye. This was the birth of his unique art, which has since led him to the highest international recognition.

Luigi Rocca
Luigi Rocca was born in 1952 into a family of artists. Influenced from childhood by the photographic works of his grandfather, he has become one of the leading exponents of photorealism. Rocca's life has always been oriented towards artistic content: Art high school, studies of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and repeated study visits to New York - the city full of architecture, advertising and light that inspires him to create great photorealistic motifs. Luigi Rocca creates unique illusionistic and detailed paintings that are recognized by art lovers and collectors worldwide. His love and fascination for the world and art metropolis New York City, which was the center of his artistic life for several years, spurs Luigi Rocca again and again to create new breathtaking works around the Big Apple. Whether Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Central Park or the New York skyline - like hardly anyone else, Rocca immerses us in the pulsating atmosphere of this fascinating city, which never sleeps and which is especially considered a world capital of modern and contemporary art, to which he sets a monument with his paintings. These seem so realistic that it is difficult to discern the differences between photo and painting. Only on closer inspection does one realize that the eyes of the hyperrealist capture more than a wide-angle lens. Like no other artist, Rocca knows how to create a monument to architecturally outstanding buildings. In his typical painting style, he makes facades appear in a special light. Luigi Rocca's works are shown at international exhibitions and are appreciated by a large circle of collectors worldwide.

Tom Boston
The multi-talented Tom Boston knows no bounds when it comes to design: Raised on art from childhood, classically trained, and endowed with a subtle sense of humor, Boston knows how to set the stage for his works. Aesthetically, he is influenced by Pop Art. In his work he openly admits to strong colorful, sometimes even gaudy accents. He playfully develops his works as a synthesis between commodity aesthetics and comic strip. The colorful donuts and cheerful scenes with protagonists such as Daisy Duck or Bugs Bunny are not only beautiful to look at, but moreover hieroglyphics of the Western lifestyle. He breathes life into his paintings and sculptures through the changing dimensions of his mixed media. His works sharpen our eye for the aesthetics of everyday life and his art puts a smile on our faces.
