David Doğan Levi
As a multidisciplinary artist, he graduated from Plastic Arts at Paul Valery University in Montpellier, France, in 2016. During his university years, his fascination with the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and art led him to explore innovative painting techniques using self-made brushes and tools. Back in Istanbul, his homeland, in his studio, he maintains a steadfast focus on painting organic forms and incorporating photography. His work defies easy categorization, residing in the realm between abstract and figurative, as he continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression.
The repetition of the technique he used while preparing this body of work led him to discover new methods, using tools and materials he created himself. In his studio, he remains deeply focused on painting organic forms and producing expressive mono prints. His work resists easy categorization, existing somewhere between abstraction and figuration, as he continues to challenge the limits of artistic expression.
Ece Özel
Born and raised in Istanbul, Ece Özel studied painting at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. She worked as a fashion stylist for nearly fifteen years and continues to perform as an active DJ around the world.
Her work explores the dynamics between the human body and fragments of life, searching for points where personal memories meet subtle, ambient memory. She is interested in how these traces shape our sense of presence and identity.

Vincent Krüger
Vincent Krüger lives and works in Cologne (Germany). He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe.

The process of his own work is at the core of his practice and is continuously questioned.
