Anya Mielniczek Canada
Born in 1990, Anya Mielniczek is a Toronto based Polish-Canadian artist who grew up between the city in Canada and the country sides of Poland. As a mixed-media artist, her work explores combinations of both fine art and street dirt mediums.
Mielniczek takes easily discarded materials such as plastic bags and candy wrappers adding value to what otherwise is considered trash, while drawing attention to our consumeristic tendencies and the implications this has on our environment. Inspired by waste, moody images and the treatment of our natural resources her pieces are emotionally charged, experimental and responsive to the time and place she’s creating in. The artist’s work is both figurative and representational, compiled of layers, textures, and the energy felt in unaltered lines. Decidedly playing between a real and fantastical aesthetic forming a greater narrative pertinent to environmental change –informing herself as well as viewers, of the obstacles our finite world faces in light of our hyper consumption.
Having graduated from Queen’s University in 2012 with a BFAH, Mielniczek completed a year long fellowship with The Living Arts Centre in Mississauga in 2014 and most recently was an artist in residence for a 9 week duration at INSTINC Studios in Singapore, 2016.

El Lasso Vienna, Austria
Doodling and drawing has always been a passion of mine. Even today I recognize every page of my old school books based on my drawings around texts and images, including those pages where my my mind just wandered somerwhere else.During a trip to Germany at the age of twelve I became aware of graffiti. I started to invest my money in spray cans. Then I redesigned the garage of my parents as well as other sorts of things. Years later I painted a lot on the legal walls in Vienna. That’s when I met other painters and became a member of the Graffiticrew !Bande!, followed by exhibitions and graffiti assignments. In addition to graffiti, I also made a name for myself in art actions in street art in Vienna. Because of my carpentry apprenticeship I was able to combine a lot in terms of craftsmanship and art. My pictures are shaped by all kinds of situations and thoughts in my life. I try to use my pictures to handle things that concern myself. Refering to nature is important to me personally and also in my work. In addition, I spend a lot of time with sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, climbing and surfing). In sports you can experience a lot, which is also reflected in my work.

Fefe Talavera Brazilian, São Paulo/ Mexican
Born in 1979 Fefe was brought up as a native half Mexican, half Brazilian in São Paulo.
Interested in all kind of underground movements, the typical and unique stylistic freedom of the internationally renowned Street Art and Graffiti scene of her hometown made an important impression on the artist. Fefe Talavera`s monster paintings are metaphors for strong and subconscious human emotions like anger, fear, dreams or desire. Inspired by the darkness and the light innate in the dualistic world we inhabit, the colourful fantastic beasts which she connects with the dark side of her inner self stand for the artist`s cultural roots as well as the primary and powerful energy of her work in the streets all over the world and the light she finds in the darkness. Fefe, who is influenced by Mayan or Aztec mythologies and her Mexican heritage, is most well known for her monsters made of cut out letters from concert announcement posters found all around the streets. The glued collage like figures are related to the artist`s admiration for typography, books and prints, but also to her will to somehow free the letters from their fixed meaning as words, sentences or texts, by showing their formal qualities as well as by reminding us that all kind of language is rooted in the direct expression of human affects, not in the function to command them.

Mr. Cenz London
Mr Cenz has been scribbling on surfaces since 1988 when he first discovered hip-hop culture and graffiti art. He soon became obsessed with this new and exciting art form and after a few brushes with the law he decided to find ways of developing his skills legally. Since his first commissioned mural at 11yrs old he has continued progressing and experimenting with his art through college and University. This has led to a career as a professional graffiti artist with several solo shows and high profile commissions internationally.
His distinctive work can currently be seen all over the streets of the world, especially in his hometown of London. It features layers of intricate and flowing letterforms, shapes and line work, which are abstracted in a unique and aesthetically pleasing way. His style is full of funk and movement and fuses different skills together such as photorealism, illustration and graffiti letterforms. His work is open to individual interpretation and has been described as “surrealist graffiti art for the soul”. He works hard to make sure each piece he creates is very individual and distinctive in its quality. His influences range from the old school graffiti artists that inspired him as a kid such as Dondi and Mode 2 to abstract expressionist painters like Paul Klee and Roger Hilton.
His new work focuses on female faces, which he distorts in his trademark style. He works from portrait and fashion photographs to create unique interpretations of strong and spiritual women, which are abstracted in a spontaneous and freestyle way to create interesting and mysterious compositions. Theses pieces are a melting pot of all the different influences and technical skills he has acquired over the years.

S.o.S tries to tackle that with a „Look at me, I am here“ mindset. Since the beginning of her career as a muralist and street-artist she already has a large number of awards to her name. Most notably a Points Of Light Award from 10 Downing St for making a difference and being an inspiration through the medium of Spray-paint with her UK Charity named „U CAN Spray CIO“. S.o.S’s artwork from The Banksy Tunnel, London called Alice Against FGM has been re-painted on numerous occasions in the UK & Vienna, where she was invited by the Austrian Parliament to present to the press about her powerful work subverting Alice in Wonderland for raising awareness to 65,000 girls at risk in the UK per year & 8,000 in Austria respectively.

Lis – Fairy Godmother of Vallanes
"Start where you are, use what you have and do what you can."Throwback to a project we did in Iceland on an organic farm near Egilsstadir. We only had really old, shitty colours, one (1) brush and one (1) old marker. But you don't need much to brighten up the dark workspace of friends.

Tin Eller Vienna, Austria
a part time freelance graphic designer, illustration artist and hand-lettering artist from Vienna, Austria. I’m a pencil and marker lover with a weakness for black brush pens, beautiful paper and retro looking drawing materials. I’m an animal lover, cactus worshiper, a vegetarian, a coffee addict and a record enthusiast.
I am super passionate about letterings, calligraphy and illustrations and I try to combine all of it them whenever possible. I love minimalistic line graphics and I do a lot of floral designs – I mean A LOT, simply because it makes me happy. My favorite flower is the daisy btw, so you’ll find it a lot in my works.
When I’m not working as a freelancer, I work as a screen designer and graphic designer at Ben Pazdernik. He’s the greatest – as a person as well as a webcoder/designer. He just knows his work. Both of my websites are put up by him and my colleagues.
I’ve been drawing since … well, forever might sound a bit cheesy right? But honestly – ever since I can remember I expressed myself through it. Music and lyrics have always been a big part of my inspiration and expression in art. That’s even the trigger nowadays most of the time of me starting a new passion project.
Thank you so much for being part of this and for your support. If you have any further questions or requests, please do not hesitate to write me a mail.
Blowing Kisses and sending virtual hugs,
Kerstin
