SCULPTURE
LUCILE COSTE
(FRANCE)

DETAILS
plaster, resin, metal
30 x 25 x 20 cm
2022

DESCRIPTION
Venu du Ciel means the ones who came from the sky. The color blue of the skin and the strange texture suggest the character come from another planet or another celestial plane. Looking up, with eyes shapes precise and blurry at the same time, he is looking through the basic existence. The art piece invite us to connect with the future version of us we expect to become, not only as humans, but as Humanity, living on a exceptionnal planet.

DRAGON

SCULPTURE
LUCILE COSTE
(FRANCE)

DETAILS
Acrylic Resin
50 x 40 x 10cm
3 out 8
2023

DESCRIPTION
Dragon is the woman inside me who looks at the ones she loves and feels the sacred urge to care for them. Being fearless about how I feel for my favorites and concerned about how I can be as accurate as possible in the way of giving love and safe space to them is, to me, like the Dragon who boldly spits his flames and at the same time, who must take special care of its magnificent and fragile eggs. More literally, it is the fire in me that revolted against the authors of child crime, women crime, and human crime

VIBRATIONS D UNE FEMME

SCULPTURE
LUCILE COSTE
(FRANCE)

DETAILS
Acrylic Resin
45 x 25 x 20 cm
2022

DESCRIPTION
The intensity with which my model held her hand on her hips literally inspired me. While I was sculpting it, the more I moved up the arm and towards the collarbone, the more my perception changed and it seemed to ignite and evaporate. Conversely, the base is a cup wich receives and maintains all these vibrations. La Vibration d’une Femme is an ovation to the transformative power of the feminine energy.

FIRE WOMAN

SCULPTURE
NATÁLIA JUNASOVÁ
(SLOVAKIA)

DETAILS
Acrylic, plastic and Resin
180 x 45 cm
2025

DESCRIPTION
The work comes from the Future People collection and the 4 elements collection, water, fire, earth and air. The work presents feminine power and energy, which is the source of life.The idea of ecology and recycling is necessary for this time, as well as for understanding and tolerance in society towards other opinions, emotions, culture or sexuality. The mannequins that were used by retail chains were discarded, they had served their purpose. They often end up in landfills, so I decided to give them a second chance and use them as a piece of art.

We live in a consumer society that has no boundaries, but I try to ensure the boundary of a positive network and connect it for an ecological world.

TRAIN OF LIFE

PHOTOGRAPHY
KARL PONT
(AUSTRIA)

DETAILS
80 x 40 x 4 cm
2024

DESCRIPTION
As we travel through the world, we see people for only a brief moment, and then they are gone again, as if they were merely shadows of reality. Places rush past us, almost as if they had never truly existed. These fleeting moments, captured in motion, are like short stops in the train of life, events and encounters whose meaning we often only grasp in retrospect.

This photograph captures that sense of impermanence. Life sometimes feels as though it is passing us by, as we move in a constant flow and rarely find the time to pause or look back. For me, this image symbolizes the journey of life, with all its unexpected encounters, brief moments and the continuous movement that carries us forward.

THE CORPORATION

SCULPTURE
ADIL GHANI
(MALAYSIA)

DETAILS
Raku Coppermatte on Earthenware
30 x 10 x 35 cm
2024

DESCRIPTION
A series of raku fired ceramic sculptures that explores the intricacies of humankind by digging deep into one’s core.

This series explores the questions and curiosities about life and death, which are held by a thread. These pieces examine the distinction between strength and fragility, and the thin line separating these two. Bones are the window into our past and at the same time symbolize the conception of our journey of hope and destiny.
These bones represent our truest and barest self.

UNDEFINED

PAINTING
MARTA DUNAL
(POLAND)

DETAILS
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 100 cm
2025

DESCRIPTION
"Undefined" is a painting that reveals the intangible. The beauty I aimed to express in this piece reflects what is undefined, beyond the grasp of reason.
An emotion elusive, yet deeply familiar.
Undefined — because it is not meant to be confined by definition.

Through this work, I seek to portray what cannot be comprehended by the mind.
An abstraction revealing a world of clarity, filled with light and hope.

RED MOON

PAINTING
DANIELLA SZABÒ-TELEK
(HUNGARY)

DETAILS
Oil on canvas
100 x 120cm
2024

DESCRIPTION
According to the ancient beliefs of the Mesopotamians and Incas, a blood moon heralds the death and downfall of a king—or in my story, a queen: my mother, the heart and ruler of our family. In contrast, some Native American tribes see the crimson moon as a sign of love and care to come

In modern spiritual thought, the blood moon marks a powerful moment for inner reflection, a time to face the shadowed corners of the mind.

To me, these meanings converge into one life-altering truth: the turning point when a young girl must grow, shedding her childhood to become a woman.

In the painting, nestled among bright, lush blossoms, small toys and cherished animals peek through, gentle symbols of a childhood fading. The red lilies bloom boldly, representing love, courage, and passion, the essence of a new chapter, blooming from loss.

SECRET DAILY DOSE

DIGITAL GRAPHICS
MEE HA
(SOUTH KOREA)

DETAILS
Digital media on canvas
100 x 100 x 3 cm
2024

DESCRIPTION
In a city that never stops moving, a small ritual endures.
A mask pack — a Secret Daily Dose — becomes more than a habit; it becomes a quiet promise to oneself. Not for the world to see, but for the spirit to feel.
In Liquid City, the “one-mask-pack-a-day” ritual is a private ceremony of care:
a soft rebellion, a daily renewal, a moment where the self is quietly, fully remembered.
