Although originally from Lyon, Natacaat finds her roots all over this world. Having travelled over half the globe, she has now found her peace and haven in Brussels where she has been living for the past two years. Natacha is currently working at the popular Singulier Tattoo Salon. Her journey as a tattoo artist also roughly started there. Ever since she started perfecting her craft there, Natacha is on the road to becoming a distinguished tattoo artist. Despite this penchant for the art of tattooing, she identifies herself as a multidisciplinary creator. In fact, Natacha also dabbles in painting, modelling, and making large-scale drawings of her art. This multidisciplinary aspect of hers can directly be found in her flashes, where the inspiration comes from other painters such as Keith Haring, Pablo Picasso, and Modigliani, Matisse, and even neo-classical art. As a woman, she finds it interesting to re-appropriate classically male art. Obviously, this does not solely define her. Natacha puts her brains, heart, and radiating charm into everything she does.

Valentin is originally from La Réunion but spent the larger part of his life in Montpellier. Over there, he developed and imposed himself as a growing tattoo artist. Peculiar and unique, his tattoo style is largely inspired by childlike cartoons but turned darker. He mainly works through hand poke, making his art even more personal. Other than that, Valentin also sells prints of his work – combining his flash tattoos and his own drawings.

Studio Narcisse is the sartorial narrative of Brian's biography starting by how he fell into fashion through the constant observation of his creations in the mirror as his truest and critical point of view. According to him the concept of Narcissism was and still is very present in fashion but also our contemporary society with the growth of social media. Nonetheless it should not be regarded as a negative characteristic but rather as a current of self-appreciation, improvement, and evaluation. Studio Narcisse is an open portfolio for the people to witness the progress within the work and exploration of a fashion student.

Surrealist videos and visionary environments are routine for 3D Artist Rocco Manta. Rocco is a noteworthy creative, due to his eye-catching, one-of-a-kind images and distinctive perspective. He is inspired by classic video game aesthetics and retro computer graphics, creating a nostalgic mood while also transporting us to his nearly psychedelic and surrealist universe. As a skilful music producer, Rocco expertly juggles both his passions of 3D design and music. His distorted vision and exquisite musical ear distinguish him as a one-of-a-kind inspirational artist.

D._ITSALLABOUTLOVE
Adam is a 22-year-old Belgian and Congolese interdisciplinary artist (dancer, illustrator, painter). He is a communication student who also enjoys art. He mainly focuses in the "black art", not necessarily in a militant sense, but in the interest of awakening consciousness, with a devotion to sublimating the black community. He devotes his art to the representation of the black woman, in order to restore her image too often despised in society. To do this, he decides to centre his message on a certain topic, such as love. Love in its broadest meaning, love of oneself, love of the other, the relationship with others, the relational dilemma of identity...

Photographer, Aster LG, was born in 2000 in Leuven, Belgium. She built her passion for photography through the relationship with her father, who throughout her childhood taught her how to shoot using digital and analogue cameras. Having lived in numerous places around the world “Geneva, Brussels, N.Y.C, Washington D.C and London”, the young photographer is currently doing a master’s degree in Cultural Studies in Leuven. For Aster, who took a long hiatus from photography, picking up her cameras again, in 2020, was somewhat natural for her, she explains to our editors “I am extremely influenced by Surrealism! I love taking pictures that at a first glance look aesthetically pleasing, but when you have a second look you realise something is off, I find that very conceptual I guess.”
