Fidia Falaschetti
Born in 1977 in Loreto, Italy, Fidia’s journey into art began during his childhood, raised in a hugely inspiring and creative family. At the age of 16, Fidia was hired to produce murals and illustrations for multiple stores and established companies. He grew up inspired by different subcultures, and then refined his creative skills being influenced by street art and the hip-hop world. He studied production design at the Academy of Fine Arts, between Macerata and Florence in Italy, where he graduated in 2002 having already embarked on his professional career as a graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer since 1995. Over the passed very successful years, Fidia exhibited his work in museums, art fairs and galleries in India, France, the United States, Brazil, Indonesia, Switzerland, the UK, and of course, Italy, and has been highlighted by international awards, newspapers and many magazine publications. He also spent long periods of time traveling outside of Italy, taking inspiration in the amazing things which the world has to offer.
Lefty Out There
Lefty Out There (born Francesco Campanella) creates intuitive, repeated shapes and achieves the rare feat of working in contradictions. His work is both bold and intricate, organic but uniform. A simple mark makes up a considerably more complex whole.
Currently residing in LA, but born in Chicago, Lefty Out There was interested in art from his teenage years. Visiting museums, posting stickers across his hometown, consistently drawing, and sketching in the classroom, he soon became involved in the city’s burgeoning street art scene. This began the evolution of his now iconic patterns using the urban landscape as his canvas. The interlocking polymorphs - now Lefty’s signature - appear as hypnotic and almost spiritual as they reproduce and multiply endlessly across every surface.
Lefty’s work began on city walls, but has gained recognition by fine art galleries, like-minded brands, and collectors around the world. By incorporating new technologies into his creative process such as computer programming and precision-engineered machining his artworks have grown into large scale installations for notable locations like the META Headquarters, Chotto Matte, and Nobu. Lefty expresses his mantra “cover everything” by engulfing spaces with his polymorphic pattern to bring attention to the world around us.
Isaac Pelayo
Isaac Pelayo is a head on crash collision between The Renaissance and Street Art. In a household where constant turmoil and violence were more apparent than most a young Pelayo met escape and peace within the confines of himself and his own creativity. Hispanic born in the heavy beating heart of Los Angeles on the seventh day of June 1996. Pelayo was caught in the crossfires of everything that surrounded him but art served as his only guidance. After dropping out of college Pelayo turned from his hyperrealistic pencil portraits to oil painting where his passions grew more immensely.
As of today Pelayo’s work is most influenced and fueled by the crème de la crème of old master painters like Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Velazquez as well as graffiti artists such as RETNA, Shepard Fairey, and EL MAC. In 2017 his work caught the attention and landed in the firm grasp of renown rapper and collector Alvin “Westside Gunn” Worthy. He has created several album covers and artworks for the Buffalo rap moguls music label Griselda Records including his personal collection. Pelayo’s paintings are widely recognized and sought out from all over the globe. His collectors include Sean “Diddy” Combs, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Jeff Hamilton, Shepard Fairey, Jaysse Lopez, and Everlast of House of Pain just to name a few.
John Paul Fauves
John Paul Fauves is a contemporary Artist from Costa Rica . His artistic journey started at a very young age after he became a student of Joaquin Rodriguez del Paso, one of the most important Costa Rican modern art tutors. Fauves spent 15 years studying and mastering his technique, and only a few years ago he finally started showcasing his work. In his paintings he engages questions of identity as they relate to art history as well as our everyday interactions with mainstream culture and social media. Greatly inspired by modernist masters as well as pop-artists, Fauves mixes fragments of different iconic images in vivid and colorful compositions.
Of his experimental and high eclectic style, he says, “art is an expression from the soul, and the soul is something limitless. This is why I am always searching for different elements to bring into the work.”

Skijtzak
Skijtzak, a trailblazing Dutch contemporary artist now based in Los Angeles, embodies the radical spirit of innovation and defiance that characterizes the most provocative edges of the modern art scene. Eschewing the conventional boundaries that have traditionally defined artistic expression, Skijtzak's work is a riotous blend of sound, image, and technology, challenging viewers to confront their preconceptions of what art can be. His philosophy is not just to bend the rules of traditional art but to shatter them entirely, creating spaces where raw, underground hardcore sounds and visuals coalesce into immersive experiences.
Utilizing an eclectic mix of digital platforms, mixed media, and artificial intelligence, Skijtzak crafts installations and works that are at once anarchic and deeply contemplative. His approach to art is reminiscent of the disruptive ethos and is not merely seen or heard; it is felt, a visceral encounter that draws as much from the underground music scenes of Europe and America as it does from the avant-garde art movements of the past century. Skijtzak's work is a testament to the power of art to provoke, challenge, and inspire. In a world increasingly mediated by screens and algorithms, his installations offer a reminder of the raw, unfiltered potential of human creativity when it is freed from conventional constraints. As the art world continues to grapple with the implications of digital and artificial intelligence technologies, artists like Skijtzak are leading the charge, breaking new ground and redefining the boundaries of what is possible.
Olha Stepanian
Olga Stepanian of Cherkasy – a city in central Ukraine – was supposed to be a seamstress but constantly thought of photography. At one point in her life, she decided that she could no longer remain silent. From behind the lens, she tells stories that do not seem to be too influenced by and are not necessarily representative of her cultural setting. “I don’t think my location affects my work much,” she says.
Olga likes the fashion and portrait photographer Rodney Smith (born 1947) – famous for his minimalistic and whimsical art, Sally Mann (born 1951) – known for her provocative shots of the naked and the dead and Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) – a pioneer of candid and street photography. These are the figures she tried to study in-depth. She made an effort to understand the thoughts and intentions behind the moments they would capture.

Olga’s present portfolio is made up of highly cinematic black and white shots that quietly explore a variety of feelings and situations – loneliness and estrangement, bondage and freedom, restlessness, even gossip. A young girl is suspended limply between two ladders on a barren piece of land. Annoying and frightening human hands emerge from within the cracks of a white wall, urgently wanting to seize and stifle anything within reach. An individual so feels the crushing force of the demands of daily life that they retreat into a cocoon of bandages.

Rob Woodcox
Rob Woodcox is a fine art photographer and film director currently living between Mexico and the US.

Rob's passion for photography has developed into a dedication to advocacy; he has produced projects raising consciousness and conversation around the US foster system and adoption, queer identity, body neutrality, racial equality and environmental justice.

DOT
DOT, Daniel Shoykhet, an American born artist raised in New York and Chicago, has quickly gained momentum in the art space. His signature style has connections to the abstract expressionists and the optical art movement of the 20th century. His style has garnered interest from collectors, galleries, and corporate brands alike. Through the use of repeating geometric patterns enhanced by different color theories, a hallucinatory visual field emerges. This leads the viewer's perception to be pushed into a moment of visual confusion. According to theories in Neuroplasticity, these shifts of perception are catalysts that have the potential to rewire neural pathways and to ultimately transform the thinking and behavior of the viewer.
Being self-taught, DOT leans into his instincts to develop his artistic explorations. His break-out mural work in Chicago has led to DOT’s creation of over a dozen murals and gallery exhibitions across the US. While maintaining a rigorous studio practice in his hometown of LA.

Ty Joseph
“An art that is a quest through vibrant symbolic visuals of the artist’s identity.” While influenced by Pop Art, with its bold, eye-catching images, Ty’s work is fundamentally an intrinsic desire to express individuality, elegance, and social interactions by applying symbolic overtones. Working with vivid, distinct colors on large canvases, Ty infuses his sense of identity into each of his works with signature sweeps of L-shaped patterns. When viewed from a distance, these patterns create an illusion of unity that, upon closer inspection, reveal a much more complex, multi-faceted image, much like the idea of individuality itself. Ty lives and works from his residence in Los Angeles, California.
