Noell Oszvald, 1991 | Surrealist photographer

Hungarian photographer Noell S. Oszvald is a self-taught photographer and visual artist from Budapest. Her black and white photographs resemble mid-century fashion photography as much as it does the work of her surrealist influences.

Severe contrasts between light and dark create graceful lines and a definite composition for each piece. In this way each image is intriguing, not only for its dreamy content but also because they are simply pleasing to look at.

Perhaps what is most surprising, though, is the fact Oszvald’s relationship with the camera is relatively new. Only twenty-two years old Oszvald has only been using the medium for a little over a year.

Minjae Lee, 1989 | Pop Surrealism painter

Minjae Lee is a young South Korean painter and illustrator, whose work expresses a semi-disturbing inner tension that is tough to ignore, even if you feel that you’d like to. It draws you in with its powerful colors, halting imagery and clever juxtaposition of beauty, innocence and fragility with brash, loud and aggressive.
What characterizes his work overall is drama. The ethereal females that populate most of his work exude a dark, organic tension, and it seems that even the brightest marker colors do not quite manage to save them from some sort of looming peril.

Christina Nguyen, 1977 | Impressionist Cityscape painter

I wake up, get up and walk through the day trying to keep my eyes open.

Sometimes I get obsessed with places and stories and I fall in love with them as if they had a soul which I think they do.

I like to take my walks in the unknown cities without having a map.

And when the twilight comes, everything feels possible and nothing is quite certain.
