It’s summer, everyone else around me seems to be on holiday, and I spend most of my day sitting in the office filling in for the rest of the world. At least, that’s how it feels to me at the moment. A welcome distraction and source of inspiration is this Facebook page and Tumblr blog I recently discovered. Afghanistan in Photos does both: the photos please the artistic eye and they invite the viewer on a virtual trip to a distant land filled with beautiful people and outstanding landscapes. Hurray for virtual traveling like that.

Seneca, one of my favourite philosophers, once coined the phrase: ‘All art is an imitation of nature’. I wonder how he would have described this beautiful series by Berlin-based artist Walter Mason. He takes all kinds of elements from nature, alters them in his own peculiar way (for example, by rearranging stones or leaves, applying water drops, cutting patterns or stiching out patterns), and then documents the output in a beautiful picture series.

Justice is a French DJ duo with a knack for combining their music with extraordinary visuals. The latest strike is the video for the tune, New Lands. It was created by the Spaniards, CANADA. The enourmous production was shot in the Olympic center in Barcelona and is one of the coolest music videos I have seen in [...]

Some people paint, others do origami. What Simon Schubert does, might best be called ‘something right between the two’. The German artist folds and unfolds paper until a ‘ghost image’ appears. His recent work includes a collection of more than 100 pictures resembling different views on the interior of a villa. I have no clue how someone can think of an idea like that, but it is surely marvelous.

Gonzalo Bénard is one of my favourite contemporary photographers. I particularly like his self-portraits as they are of an intimidating quality, ignoring common beauty ideals and stereotypes. In his recent series of pictures, he focuses on capturing people in their vulnerable, intimate, nude, private, and lonely moments, telling their story from the perspective of a stranger. It’s a beautiful and haunting series.

Deenesh Ghyczy is a German-Hungarian artist currently residing in Berlin. He has come up with a series of portraits capturing people as if they were seen through patterned glass. ‘For a long time now, we ceased having a core identity, as such. We are many people, with different identities and different personalities’, he says. The paintings are currently exhibited in Istanbul, Ankara and Cologne.

I love bokeh photography. There is something about the out-of-focus perspective that I find very soothing. Naturally, I am a big fan of the photorealistic oil paintings of Philip Barlow, who plays with the bokeh effect on an oil canvas.

What does it take to become a successful singer-songwriter? I don’t know, but a lovely voice, beautiful melodies, and a face that’s easy to look at certainly won’t hurt. Russell Swallow from England fulfills all of the aforementioned criteria. The first outtake of his upcoming album, Sunrise Mountain, is Home, a beautiful track that can be downloaded for free from his website. The video [...]

Take a close look: ‘This is clearly a painting’. That’s what you’ll most likely expect, wouldn’t you? Now, take a further look and imagine that these are real life people with paint on them. ‘Wow’, right? Alexa Meade, from D.C, has created a new art form it seems. She likes to blend people into her creations in a pretty unusual way. With her aesthetic, she manages to play around skillfully combing paint, portraiture, photography and performance.

Being a dancer and into photography myself, I know how challenging it can be to capture people in movement. I really appreciate the art of Bertil Nillson. The Swedish photographer and filmmaker, who is currently residing in London, focusses on dancers and circus people with his work. His creative output is full of life and energy, celebrating the human body in its grace.

Luke Thornhill is a freelance graphic designer and illustrator who loves haribo and 0.05 fine liner pens a little too much. One of his recent works includes a series for NxtCh I find pretty heartwarming. NxtCh is a young peoples’ charity that helps those aged up to 19 with either abuse at home or being homeless.

I spent the past two weeks in one of the most amazing travel destinations I have ever been to. The Archipelago of the Azores is composed of nine volcanic islands situated in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is located about 1,500 km (930 mi) west from the European coast, and about 3,900 km (2,400 mi) from the east coast of North America.

Pamela Campagna is a graphic designer from Italy who has come up with a series of portraits that is truly innovative. Mainly consisting of threads and nails, her works are a symbolic expression for the networks she has created with the motifs they display – mainly of people she knows, like friends and family.

Eemz is an illustrator and mixed-media artist from Cairo. She has recently come up with a one line drawing series that I find quite adorable. Lots of her motifs look like minimalist doodling interpretations of characters from the Arabian Nights or the Pharaonic period. I would really love to see these turned into t shirt motifs or printed on postcards, so I can send them around to my friends.
