Asma Kocjan

Asma Kocjan

unfolds a visual world between the runway and the canvas, where fashion isn't celebrated, but questioned. Drawing from her international modeling career, she develops a powerful artistic language in which silhouettes, layers, and expressive colors converge. Her works revolve around the tension between visibility and concealment, placing the human being, rather than the garment, at the center.

Those who view her works encounter figures in transition, captured in an aesthetic of collage, overpainting, and a search for traces. Art and fashion merge here into a critical, sensual narrative that sparks curiosity for more.

Benjamin Thiele

With playful precision, Thiele combines sculpture, installation, and spatial intervention, through which banal materials open up new spaces of meaning. In addition to his artistic practice, he also initiates curatorial formats in which exchange, process, and transience play central roles.

Daniel Deutsch

Daniel Deutsch

combines technology, intuition, and craftsmanship into a precise yet meditative practice. With a background in law and artificial intelligence, he explores the intersection of algorithmic thinking and sensory experience.

His works emerge in the tension between machine and material: digital designs become physical wooden reliefs, where technical precision meets organic unpredictability. Thus, the work becomes a dialogue between code and nature. A process that unites control and letting go, calculation and intuition.

Every line, every cut is the result of concentration, discipline, and openness to the moment. In this connection of technology and mindfulness, Daniel's artistic attitude manifests itself: the digital serves not for distance, but for approximation, to the material, to the process, and to the present itself.

Diana Kim 

Diana Kim 

is a contemporary figurative painter who works with oil on canvas, creating a fascinating synthesis of classical precision and modern imagery in her portraits. Her works feel like silent encounters – intense, serene, and yet full of inner tension.

Born and raised in Russia, she received her academic training at the Kazan Academy of Arts, where she studied painting, drawing, and composition at the highest level. After graduation, she worked at the largest art studio in the CIS, Art Lab, where she deepened her technical skills through extensive commission work and large-format interior painting.

Since 2022, Diana Kim has been living in Austria and studying art history at the University of Vienna, while consistently developing her artistic practice. Her focus has increasingly shifted to portrait painting and the techniques of the Old Masters – yet without appearing nostalgic: Kim translates the classical painting tradition into a contemporary visual world, characterized by subtle color dramaturgy, atmospheric density, and psychological presence.

Her portraits don't shout – they draw the viewer into a silent, emotional depth where gaze, posture, and light become carriers of an unspoken story.

Joshua 英哲 Maurer

Joshua 英哲 Maurer

creates contemporary paintings that focus on the subtle contradictions of modern life. With the recurring figures Socia and Socius, he transforms everyday situations into vibrant visual worlds that address themes such as connection, attention, technology, security, and belonging. His reduced formal language, luminous colors, and subtle narrative elements create works that are both accessible and multifaceted.

Without dictating clear answers, his paintings open up space for individual interpretations. They move between humor and subtle social observation and invite us to pause, to perceive the familiar anew, and to question our own view of the world. At the heart of it all is the question of how our attention determines what we see and what we might overlook while our gaze is already lingering elsewhere.
