“Inspired by the sober colors and architecture of the streets of Amsterdam in the early hours of the day, making you feel like you’ve gone back in time.” A series starring Afra van Ooijen photographed by Suzy Zeylmaker.
But let me tell you, I will not forget who I was before and where the world could be and will always speak up for freedom and never give up hope for what is good and believe in the power of creative force of humans for a good cause. And one day the tide will have turned again.

Maybe it’s time to get a little more quiet, to take a step back sometimes. And to become a little more we instead of only me. I turn my head and look at the countless tiny, twinkling stars that look like they are being swallowed up soon by the pitch-black evening sky and fall asleep.
« I bring you to my life. You will see the life I had, the friends that I met. » And so, you took me down this road. Walking around Montreal to discover this charm that kept you from coming back. From Le Plateau to the Mont-Royal, following this piece of life that I didn’t know about you.
“My self-portrait work is mostly driven by the need to obtain memory about specific times and about the pain caused by the impermanence of everything, the ephemerality of life and my interaction with this world. An act of reaffirmation, perhaps of a search for identity, the internal, existential and possibly eternal identity. It then becomes a living to recognize me.”
I had this nice profound conversation with a friend yesterday. About life, about if your small actions can actually really change something. About if it’s worth or wrong to convince someone else about what you believe in. I thought that, even though I try to do certain things to contribute to make a positive impact to the world, at the end it is useless. As the world is so big, and each of us is just such a small part of it so things will never change.
With our series “An artist´s life.” we want to share the stories of the people behind the art. “War teaches! And teaches all the most important! If earlier “to live for today” was considered recklessness and a frivolous approach to life, today it is the right decision once and for all – to live here and now! After all, you may not have tomorrow. It is obvious.”
Krewella is a boundless electronic duo comprised of sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf. The talented duo also uses their platform to make a positive difference in the world. In the “sidewalk talk” they speak about their impact on Pakistan and Women’s Health and how it contributed to their ‘most honest body of work.’
“Sometimes you meet someone, and theres that little glimmer in their eyes that signifies “kin”, and it happens at the most random times. My first on was my dad, then a magical childhood friend, then a teacher, once an old man at a bench I never met again.” We had an insightful and deep talk with the talented artist about religion, the unexpected roads of life and her ambivalent relationship with friendships.
Memories of a Fieldtrip is a truly inspiring art experiment by Keitaro Cloward exploring Spring, Southern California Wildflowers, Art, and the thoughts that came with it. “Rebirth that comes with Spring, after what felt like a long Winter.
Clean slate of life awakening in life, not needing to know it’s footing, Just taking in all life has to offer, moving into Summer.”
Shams is the first woman Marie Le Gall photographed for her project Homebody, exploring the feeling of home in women’s bodies. After reading Marie’s thoughts and observing her images, we started to think for the first time that actually our own bodies are our very first homes. And we pictured it as the place where the soul is nestled in cozily.
When the world weighs
heavily on us,
we still one day
need to be
in love with the world
again. And believe that
all the colours will
shine over the grey.
“I always try to keep my eyes open! There’s a huge amount of inspiration all around. It’s funny – while looking for inspiration for this particular photo shoot, I found images that inspired me to do something else. I love it.” tells us Paula Mroczkowska when introducing her absorbing photo series with model Marysia Nizińska.
