Andreas Wannerstedt is a Stockholm based artist and art director who crafts unique 3D sculptures and mesmerizing looping animations. The imagery of Andreas is both sophisticated and whimsical, featuring simple and playful geometric shapes in balanced compositions, together with organic textures and harmonizing color palettes. His perfectly synchronised animations has often been described as “oddly satisfying”, since the overall effect evokes a strangely hypnotizing feeling which makes the viewer relaxed and even meditative. Although his animations are vaguely based on real world behaviours, they often break the boundaries of tolerances, friction and gravity, enabling endless motions of the cleanest order. During the last 14 years he’s been doing commissioned work for recognisable brands such as Google, Omega, Swarovski, Dropbox, Adidas, Ikea, Spotify, Absolut Vodka, Red Bull, Squarespace etc. His animations have fascinated millions of viewers around the world and his work has been highlighted on Vice, Behance Network, Designboom, Stash Magazine, Fubiz, Vimeo Staff-Pick, 9gag, UNILAD, VT, Huffington Post, Business Insider, LAD Bible, FWA, Designcollector, and Mindsparkle Mag among others.

Julia Rehme, tattoo artist Berlin, Germany juliarehme.com "I was born and raised in Osnabrück, Germany, in the 1980s. After graduating in fashion design from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hanover, I decided to move to Berlin, where I further developed my artistic spectrum and learned tattooing. Today, my works can be seen on canvas and paper as well as on skin. In 2014, I founded the studio NOÏA|Berlin, which now hosts an international team of artists. In the meantime, I have given up the management of the studio. With a desire for change and a new environment, I moved to Leipzig in 2022 where I founded CHPT2 Studio , continuing my vision of presenting tattooing as an extension of the artistic spectrum. ARTIST STATEMENT " My paintings and tattoos are characterized by an abstract expressionist visual language. Even though I allow my intuition to guide the process, my serial works often pursue a specific theme. What lies hidden is expressed in my paintings and drawings. Through gestural painting, I represent a moment from infinity and deal with coincidence and order, destruction and decay. I visualize energetic fields of tension, which, however, dissolve again and extend into infinity beyond the edge of the artwork. Elements of a microcosm merge before dividing and sorting again in the macrocosm. With my works, I reflect the laws that govern humans and nature." #tattoo #tatuaje #ink #JuliaRehme #tattooartist

La passione di Nicolas Nicolas Agus is a tattoo artist from Italy, whose art combines graphics and sketching. Nicolas is from a small town called Acquasparta. He’s been living here since he was born, but he also travels a lot. At the moment, he works from a private atelier where he creates all his projects for tattoos and painting. However, as we mentioned before, he travels a lot, so you can usually find him in the main cities of Europe, such as Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Zurich, etc., especially in Milan. For people unfamiliar with you, can you please share a bit about the technique itself and how you came to practice it? Yes of course! I started drawing when I was a little child with my mother, copying cartoons and various comics. From that moment on, I have never stopped. As I grew up I understood that what I wanted to do in my life was draw, so, despite undertaking economics studies, I continued to draw day and night. And so it went…a series of evolutions ended up arriving at today’s “style”, both in tattooing and painting (because I dedicate myself to both anyway). My technique is based on the use of the pen without using the pencil and the eraser, so it is not possible to erase, and the error becomes a detail and a fundamental part of the final work. I’m looking for a raw and spontaneous approach without too many constructions or corrections. In this way, I can make all my work very spontaneous unique, and real. We can therefore say that my work is based on the search for the essence of the subject through a spontaneous, very personal and introspective creative process. How do you see art, in general, and how do you approach it? I really don’t know what art is. I think is a concept, so it’s impossible to find a true answer to this question for me. Maybe “art” could be a lot of different things. In my personal opinion, art is the expression of the artist in relationship with his response to his own perception of the world. Are you listening to music while working? If so, what kind of music gets you in the zone? Yes, of course, I can’t work without music. I’m always listening to music while tattooing or painting, or also living, haha. And I like different kinds of music, it really depends on my period. I go from rock to electronic, from rap to punk…so I don’t have a favorite one. At the moment, I really like electronic and American rap/trap. If you’re familiar with the tattoo artist, Sewp, he once said, “I remember watching some show in the 90s about this little goth girl. It’s a pretty vague memory, I must have been like 5 or 6 years old. But when I saw this dark loner girl who hated everybody, my young brain started registering some emotions that I’d never felt before. I was, like, in love with this little dark-haired freaky girl.”  Do you also have some similar memories about how you started drawing? As I said before, I remember drawing cartoons and comics in my house with my mom, something like Pokémon and Dragonball. Lately, around 14/15 years old, I started drawing some graffiti projects, and then, when I was 19/20 years old I started to be super focused on drawing, and I started putting all my emotion on the paper. It was a dark period of my life, during my university, it definitely changed my concept of life and art, so I’m super grateful for that dark period. You combine graphics and sketching, do you want to shift your portfolio more in any other direction? We’ll see. At the moment I’m focused on body shapes and anatomy, so I would like to work on big-scale projects to follow the body shapes as much as I can. About graphics and sketching I don’t have any plan, I’ll follow the evolution of myself, or I’ll go somewhere else, but I’m not sure which one. I like to change sometimes. What are you looking forward to or excited about for your career?  At the moment, in my tattoo works, I want to introduce some new subjects. I’m really into a flower pot with decorations on a large scale, I love to freehand this kind of subject and I love how it looks on the body. I also really want to paint more, but winter is coming, so I think that is going to happen hahahaha. Do you have any future travel plans? Yes, I’ll continue to travel all around Europe, for sure. I’ll be in Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, and Milan of course. I also will be in Tel Aviv next year and more. At the same time, I have a private atelier in my hometown (Acquasparta) and I want to spend the rest of my time there. Do you have a retirement plan or other passions that you’re looking forward to starting in the future? I want to paint and to draw till the end of my life. But I also like to spend time doing nothing at the sea and also do some training. That’s it.

Born in Venezuela, Marcos studied graphic design in France. From a young age, he has always been passioned, questioned and oriented by curves and compositions. As a self-taught artist, drawing has been a way to express himself and escape. Through his work, he is delving into the language that results from the body. He was trained as a tattoo artist simultaneously with Valentine Deprez, and Flottix back in 2020. At the moment they are practicing their art in a private naturally light-bathed atelier in Paris, France. 🇫🇷 Tattoo artist from Paris – @arriere.cour.atelier 📩 garau.marcos@gmail.com

“Je ne suis pas une femme, je suis un monde.” PARIS  Born in Latvia and raised in Germany,  Buraka  began tattooing in 2013 when she was studying for a Communication Design degree in Barcelona. Inspired by some graffiti kids she had met, she began to draw and lent a selection of illustrations to the friend’s flash book before realizing the demand for them and deciding to give it a shot herself. The first thing she tattooed was a palm tree and from that day – she says – she hasn’t stopped… and neither have her clients. madameburaka@gmail.com

Cinta Vidal Agulló “I have been drawing since I was a kid. I studied at Escola Massana in Barcelona and when I was 16, I started working as an apprentice in Taller de Escenografia Castells Planas in St. Agnès de Malanyanes where I learnt from Josep and Jordi Castells to love scenography and the backdrop trade. Regarding illustration, I have never stopped experimenting. I worked as a freelancer for various clients and gradually I have been heading to the world of painting and creating my own work.”
