Enhancing existing Art applications into the future keeping it engaging and future proof to evoke conversation and inspiration to new ideas and opportunities for the Art community

Achim Saar is currently devoting himself to different materials and how they can be combined. Wood, metal, bronze, glass, ceramics, etc. are some of the materials he has already worked with. But the topics are also important, in this case he is trying to bring together different things that don’t really belong together.

Through an excessive and psychedelic language, F I Z paintings represent memories that decompose in microorganisms, subtle landscapes and analog bytes that are diluted in the black void of the universe, in oblivion.F I Z plays with colors, lights and volume, for her paintings are three-dimensional. But beyond this elaborate and distilled aesthetic, which is only the code through which the message is delivered, the intention is to (re)create dreamlike and lysergic spaces of memory through installations that are accompanied by ephemeral sculptures and soundscapes. These landscapes are born from experimentation with sounds from the personal library and are collages…

My work emerges from an exploration of human fragility and complexity. I aim to capture moments where the visible and the invisible intersect, revealing emotions and vulnerabilities that often remain hidden. Through color, brushstrokes, and composition, I create spaces where the figurative meets the abstract, inviting the viewer to pause and inhabit the painting. Every cut, fragment, and gestural mark reflects both rupture and the possibility of reconstruction, evoking memories, silences, and inner tensions. My motivation is to foster an empathetic connection, allowing those who engage with the work to resonate with their own experiences, discovering that humanity is not…

Alexandre Liberato is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores materiality, identity and transformation through a dialogue between form, space and perception. With a background in architecture, his practice investigates how visible and invisible structures shape human experience. His compositions balance order and fragility, creating a tension between control and vulnerability. Working through layered processes that combine precision with intuition, he reveals subtle narratives of memory, change and resilience. Based in Berlin, Liberato works from STUDIO/GALLERY, a space dedicated to artistic production, exhibition and collaboration. His evolving body of work examines how materials and gestures can embody personal and collective transformation,…

The author views the universal and objective through the lens of inner myth, through the subjective and unconscious – but which is a psychological response to physical reality with all its complexity and contradiction.The artist’s work is influenced by his training in monumental art, and as a result, painting is positioned as “creating an environment” for mind existence, being and reflection. Aliaksand’s painting is centered on the themes of poetic experience of oneself in the world, connections with nature and the body. Biruk’s work can be viewed through the prism of psychology and therapy. His works are immersed in symbolism,…

As an artist living with endometriosis, my work seeks to answer a deeply personal and universal question: Who are we when illness shapes our identity in ways the world cannot see?My work explores the body as both archive and embassy: a fragile yet resistant space where identities merge, fracture and persist.Through mixed media collage based on photography, I create images that refuse official narratives and instead speak of hidden embassies: identities without representation, voices without a state. My practice seeks to reclaim presence in absence, turning vulnerability into resilience and proposing the body itself as a site of resistance, memory…

My work as a figurative oil painter reflects an intimate journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and inner transformation. Through the female body, I explore the shifting landscapes of emotion where strength and vulnerability coexist, and emotion becomes movement and light becomes language.This series for BAAM#10 is a visual story of evolution: each painting captures a different stage in the process of learning to love and accept oneself. My intention is to invite the viewer into this quiet inner space, where transformation happens not through perfection, but through tenderness, awareness, and the courage to become one’s truest self.

In my current drawing series „The Anatomy of a feeling“, I explore the anatomy of emotions that elude language. Each work consists of two drawings: one personifies the emotion as a being, while the other reveals its inner architecture; a landscape of tissue, stone, or organic matter. Together they form a visual diptych, a dialogue between perception and corporeal form. The series begins from the premise that emotions are not solely psychological phenomena but delicate, autonomous organisms that take shape within the body, across space, and through time.

Alix Martin lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.Describing himself as a “graphic artist”, he explores the shiftingboundary between visual language and printed objects.His career, which has taken him from printing industry to publishinghouses and art galleries, has been enriched by a postgraduate degreein branding at HEAD – Geneva, where he learned to deconstruct visualcodes in order to reveal their tensions.With the “ Bibliocuts ” series, presented at Artgenève art fair in 2020,he cuts and sculpts books, diverting their function and offering a newway of reading them. Each fragment becomes matter, each absencebecomes form.Alix no longer conceives of the book as…

Alvine Bautra (b.1990) is a Latvian contemporary painter. The portrait painting compositions embody the feeling of movement in slow motion. The zooming on the faces or the seemingly calm figures are never frozen because the state of peace is utopian. The figures dance within themselves, allowing the movement of the soul, giving themselves to a peculiar trance when revelation occurs unconsciously. Currently works and lives in Riga, Latvia.

Amber Cannings was born in Southampton in 1996 and lives and works in Berlin. She graduated with a first-class degree in Fine Art at Loughborough University, where she also completed a year of study at the Universidad de Zaragoza in Spain.Cannings’ work is centered around space and place, she takes energy from her surroundings and represents not just the way things look, but the essence of them. It offers a window into her own lived experience and covers themes of nostalgia, space, and memory. Cannings’ work has featured in several exhibitions in the UK and Germany, including the Erster Erster…

AME.DGD. ART (*1995) lives and works as a multidisciplinary artist in Berlin. The artist’s works invite viewers to make the invisible visible: emotions, relationships, and the role of the individual in modern spaces, mostly taking space in Berlin. Using bold, high-contrast palettes and expressive, abstracted figures, AME is bringing life to stories of everyday moments and introspection. AME is exploring the intersection of color, form, and emotion. The psychological impact of the chosen combinations creates a dialogue between the art and the viewer’s internal world. This central topic aligns with the artist’s background as a doctor in the psychiatric field.…

My recent paintings began as a form of self-therapy during a difficult period. Through painting, I tried to bring light and joy back into my life by focusing on nature, bright colors and the calm rhythm of the process itself. I started simplifying everything: shapes, lines and details, until only the essentials remained — color, balance and a sense of quiet space. These landscapes are not about real places but about emotional states, moments of breathing and recovery. For me, each work is both a memory of struggle and a symbol of overcoming it. Painting became a way to find…

andre andrejew began painting during the pandemic after working for decades as a stage prop master.his paintings are about human relationships, desires and abysses. melancholy and anarchism appear side by side, often embodied in figurative shapes that seem both threatening and playfull.his works are immediate, emotional responses rather than academic studies, painted reflections on fragility, freedom and the search for connection.

Figuration:Es gibt eine Affinität zu narrativen Elementen, doch diese werden stets aufgebrochen und in einen neuen, traumhaften Kontext gesetzt. Die Werke bewegen sich zwischen surrealem Realismus, zeitgenössischem Expressionismus und einer fast filmischen Atmosphäre.Themen sind Mythos, Erinnerung, Gemeinschaft und Veränderung.Abstracts:Die Arbeit mit Farbresten ist zugleich ein Rückgriff auf die lange Tradition der Collage und eine eigenständige Weiterentwicklung. Sie erweitert den Malbegriff: Malerei ist hier nicht mehr nur der Auftrag von Farbe, sondern das bewusste Arrangieren und Re-Inszenieren von bereits getrocknetem, vergangenem Malprozess.So entsteht eine Meta-Malerei, die den Malakt selbst reflektiert: Jede Farbscholle ist Zeugnis einer früheren Geste, eines früheren Bildes oder…

Andrea Breinbauer’s work is characterized by the use of painting to reflect on certain aspects that the Western tradition, from the Renaissance to the advent of the avant-garde movements, has claimed as its own. Thus, through the creation of little sceneries and pictorial installations, Andrea delves into issues such as simulacra, the narrative capabilities of painting, the two-dimensionality of the surface, and the objectuality of the support. With well thought-out brushstrokes, which place her work at the edge of hyperrealism, the artist develops narratives that –whether they are inspired by literature, popular culture, or her own biography– they operate as…

“I’m afraid of words, but never of painting.”Angelina Dashkevic (she/her), born in Minsk and relocated to Germany in 2007, is a visual artist and costume designer working at the intersection of fashion, theater, and fine arts. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design from Hochschule Trier in 2024 and has been a costume designer at Theater im Palais Berlin since 2023. Her work explores the female form as an emotional and expressive landscape. Through color, light, shadow, and layered textures, she transforms feelings of melancholy, longing, and intimacy into bold, tactile compositions. Each piece invites viewers to experience…

I work mainly with video, photography and objects but I also make drawings. I constantly explore the thema expressed by the sentence: Hic Sunt Dracones—Latin for “here be dragons”—comes from old maps that marked places that were unknown or feared. I use this idea to explore what is uncertain, missing, or forgotten in our lives. I am interested in how memory and imagination mix, and how reality can blur with fiction. In my work, I often look for “blank spots”: empty spaces, silences, or moments that escape clear meaning. I see these gaps as places where emotion and perception meet,…

Anne Lomberg is a writer and film photographer based in Berlin. Her work explores the space between intimacy and distance, between what’s revealed and what quietly lingers beneath the surface. Each image feels like a memory half-remembered — an invitation to surrender to the subtle pull of desire.

Anne von Westphalen’s works explore the fragile architecture of identity through the absence of the face. Whether in acrylic paintings or linocut portraits, her figures appear withdrawn, veiled, or symbolically altered—caught between exposure and concealment. The facelessness becomes a mirror, reflecting collective gestures of self-representation in an era of over-visibility. In the linocuts, simplified, almost classical silhouettes meet contemporary symbols—a question mark, tinted glasses—turning anonymity into irony. In the larger painted interiors, the same tension expands into spatial metaphors: rooms as psychological chambers, ribbons as lines of thought or entanglement. The works invite viewers to project themselves into these “thinking…

My work often depicts everyday scenes — moments that seem familiar but hold something slightly strange or mysterious. I’m drawn to the tension between the ordinary and the uncanny, where reality feels like it might shift at any moment. Through subtle changes in color, light, or composition, I try to reveal the hidden, dreamlike quality of daily life. The images become quiet thresholds between memory and imagination, between what is seen and what is sensed.

This project explores the sequence between fear of criticism, oppression, silencing and ultimately the mental decline of the individual, through altered portraits, where nakedness is a means of expressing the raw truth. The images stare at the impossible and the decay of modern human.The process of printing films in an analogous way, attempts to retrieve memories, images and techniques, which come into contradiction with the modern world of digitization of reality and the human subsistence. Approaching traditional printing techniques, handmade Japanese Washi paper was used, which was smeared with light-sensitive emulsion in the darkroom, with the aim of highlighting the…

I’m drawn to marginal spaces of the city, where the commotion tends to give way to something more fundamental: lines, textures, and shapes; subtle symmetries; peculiar arrangements and patterns. I collect these everyday marvels in the form of carefully composed photographs, each one serving as a brief escape — a respite of sorts — into a moment of quiet and calm.

My paintings highlight the beauty of everyday life — the simple joy of a shared breakfast, the warmth of coffee, and the poetry hidden in daily rituals. Through color and composition, I explore how ordinary moments can become timeless memories on canvas.

My work focuses on emotion, color, and the human figure. I focus on capturing honest feelings through expressive poses and bold colors. I’ve become more intentional with my process, exploring the balance between vulnerability and strength, leaning into using more contrast, for a stronger visual. Each piece reflects some type of complexity of emotion. My goal is to translate emotion into something visual, inviting the viewer to translate it into their own emotion or part of their own journey.

I start with the premise that I have no plans and I know nothing. I experiment. I trust my instinct. I photograph women because this is the subject matter that inspires me the most. Sometimes is body shapes or body parts, sometimes is portraits, sometimes is just abstract. I am inspired by the women I photograph as well as everything and everyone around me, from design, to music, to films, to politics, to people and most definitely emotions. At times in my head it is a little chaotic and what I am trying to say is not immediately apparent, not…

My work explores the relationship between memory and urban space mainly through photography.I record architecture in a state of obsolescence before its disappearance. I am interested in documenting both structures and urban landscapes from an archaeological and poetic perspective. Through a visual research, I construct sensitive archives that preserve the ephemeral.In other works, I approach the concept of inhabiting as something malleable and transportable. My migratory experience, having lived in a country other than my country of origin, has shaped this way of looking: photography has become a means of recording the different routes I have traveled, constructing a personal…

I am a Peruvian-Italian migrant and artist specialized in Platinum-palladium printing and image gilding, but also drawing and painting. My work develops itself around the concept of positivity and beauty as a way to defeat social poverty and injustice, and the analog process as a way to fight the rapid decline of our ambitious society.The use of precious materials and ancient method is the result of my natural rejection of immediacy and obsolescence.

My painting moves between illusion and reality. Perception itself appears to be an illusion: reality is fluid, immaterial, and always a construction of consciousness. Through transparency, superimposition, and chromatic condensation, I reveal the fleeting nature of appearances and make visible what otherwise remains hidden. Figures—from baroque to manga references—oscillate between presence and dissolution, reminiscent of interfaces and digital surfaces. Historical references such as the baroque ideal of perfect representation become visible as fragile precursors of today’s self-staging: Instagram filters replace powdered wigs, digital feeds replace ceremonial paintings. My works play with “cuteness” and kawaii aesthetics, not as irony, but to…

Burak Erkil, (b. 1985, İstanbul), is a queer artist based in Berlin whose exploration spans lens-based media, installation and printing. Concentrating on isolated identities, encompassing both human and nonhuman entities, Erkil’s artistic odyssey delves into the boundaries of societal peripheries. Their creations unravel the complexinterplay between public and private spheres, human and animal narratives, natural and technological constructs,and the profound duality of truth and illusion.

Carl Regenthal (he/him) is a Berlin based oil-painter and multimedia artist. His works explore the quirky nature of characters, examining the rigidity and stagnation of their personalities in everyday settings, where reality subtly unravels through surreal elements, as well as their sense of playfulness.

My artistic expression and pieces come from the meticulous study of time through astro physichs and the inravaloration of time. its a metaphorical and meditational way for me to comunicate with the viewer with geometrical complex forms

My work investigates the interplay between chance, movement, and human intervention, exploring different unpredictable forces. The Wind Drawings and Wind Paintings act as a record of my ongoing research, capturing the traces of processes guided by natural elements, the balance of sculptural forms, and at times, the active participation of viewers. In these series, randomness; whether the wind, shifting structures, or interactive engagement, becomes a collaborator, leaving marks that reveal patterns emerging from unexpected encounters. By documenting these interventions, I aim to highlight the tension between control and accident, intention and spontaneity. My practice examines how environments, materials, and human…

Carsten Wagners themes focus on the female face and form, wildlife and subculture. Through the mediums relief- and intaglio printmaking, Carsten brings his characters and innermost thoughts to life, finding joy in getting his hands dirty while creating surreal and hyper-graphic figurative works.The characters in his works are coming out of their own imaginary universe. A slow motion caption of ingredients which develop something that contains our volatile zeitgeist, celebrating counter-culture attitudes and underground moods as well as feelings and conflicts that appeared since humans were present.

Our ceramic studio is based in a small town in Italy, where we — Luisa and Paolo — share a passion for observing the world and reinterpreting it through matter. Clay offers endless possibilities: it transforms, adapts, and speaks its own language through our hands.Our work begins with a gaze from above — from a distance where shapes fade, boundaries dissolve, and colors merge into pure perception. At that height, vision turns into emotion, into an abstract sense of wholeness.From this perspective, our gesture becomes tangible: we gather clays from the land, allowing fire to transform them forever. Each piece…

This sculpture of a whippet was created as a collaboration between two artists united by a shared love for both ceramics and hounds. Drawing on the elegance and gentle spirit of the whippet, the piece celebrates the harmony between animal form and clay. Through this work, we explore the connection between devotion to craft and affection for these graceful companions, capturing their presence in a timeless ceramic form.

Chris Kamprad, who grew up in the Spreewald region and has lived in Berlin for over 20 years, likes to devote her painting to intermediate worlds, imagined consciousness, often colossal abstract colour worlds and gestural colour spaces. For her, paintings are also journeys of the mind, spaces without time.

Ink, Lines and Cuts Christian has been always expressing his ideas through drawings. During his architectural studies in Santiago de Chile, Christian began to explore color and composition next to Manuel Gomez Hassan through oil painting. He enjoys experimenting with different techniques. With an architectural background Christian tends to see life in lines, angles and shapes. From traditional oil painting he has expanded into this free flowing, spontaneous geometrical mixed-media works. He began with pieces of wood, black ink and some tape. In the beginning the work was primarily black and white. The collection you see is the result of…

Christina Mros is an artist and illustrator based in Berlin. Her paintings are inspired by everyday situations that often stand out in their simplicity. While capturing light and shadows, she is trying to find unique compositions, visualizing the special atmosphere that arises when focussing on ordinary things that are often overseen. Her aim is to convey tranquility, nostalgia and enjoyment, allowing the viewer to become a silent observer of the scene.

Meine Arbeit kreist um die stille Wahrnehmung von Raum, Struktur und Objekt. Architektur und Stillleben werden zu gleichwertigen Akteuren – sie zeigen, wie Form, Licht und Materialität unsere Beziehung zu Dingen und Orten prägen. Mich interessiert das Moment der Abstraktion, in dem Funktion und Kontext zurücktreten und reine visuelle Ordnung entsteht. Durch Reduktion, Klarheit und präzise Komposition suche ich nach einer poetischen Sachlichkeit – einer Ästhetik, die im Alltäglichen das Zeitlose sichtbar macht.

My work explores the intersection of digital imagery, screen printing, and painting through a layered, process-driven approach. Starting in the digital space, I build compositions by shifting and overlapping image fragments, which are later transferred to canvas. I’m interested in the tension between control and spontaneity—each layer responds to the last, creating unexpected outcomes. Screen printing becomes a tool of disruption as well as structure, where imperfections are welcomed as creative triggers. I aim to blur boundaries between abstraction and recognizability, digital and analog, surface and space. My current focus is on large-scale formats that engage the viewer’s body, turning…

Claudia’s works celebrate colour and sensation, and explore themes of self and states of being. Formerly of New Zealand and Australia, Claudia makes her home in Berlin. Her works are held by collectors all around the world.

As a Berlin-based makeup artist I began my painting journey in 2020 to explore aesthetics and meaning beyond the client-focused nature of makeup artistry.I like to delve into themes of solitude and connection and the quest for balance between the self and the environment, trying to capture individuals in moments of contemplation.My portraits are meant to convey a sense of calmness and a deep appreciation of the natural world while trying to blur the lines between the organic and the symbolic.I do allow shapes and expressions to emerge slowly and organically on the canvas with little reliance on preliminary sketches.…

My work sits between street noise and emotional noise — a mix of chaos, humour, and frustration. I paint like a kid who’s seen too much: using spray paint, oil pastel, and rough textures to process a world that feels both absurd and broken. The characters I create — my “Cooked Characters” — are warped reflections of power, fear, and survival. They live in a universe where innocence and destruction blur together, much like the cities we inhabit. My works continue to explore outdated systems, moral decay, and the quiet madness of modern life — protests disguised as cartoons. Beneath…

Cris Cerdeira (Santiago, Chile, 1993) is a Berlin-based photographer whose work fuses Latin American roots with European influences. After studying photography and art direction in Santiago and Buenos Aires, Cerdeira moved to Berlin in 2016, where the city’s subcultures inspired a commitment to creative freedom and self-expression. His images spanning fashion, portrait, and abstract photograph explore identity, transformation, and the bold aesthetics of contemporary life. Cerdeira’s practice is defined by a distinctive blend of digital and analog techniques, vibrant color, and a constant push beyond conventional boundaries.

I reject reality, reacting to urbanity and natural landscapes without delivering them. I reverse-engineer my architectural background, often working in abandoned industrial sites, finding solace in the end-of-life of buildings and the silence of urban ruins drawing from urban surfaces, torn paper, cardboard, package labels and found objects as a critique of the extractive consumption of both the urban and the natural. In the same way I paint with musicians, dancers and poets, the collage medium expresses that multiplicity of forms to convey the same narrative. I weave together fragments of street culture, vandalism, advertising and everyday packing materials alongside…
