Bio dos Artistas: ️ Alexandra Siebert, DE (Instagram @alexandra.siebert) "I am Alex an Illustrator born and raised in Germany, living in France/Portugal. My art is about things I love.

Wonder is the engine of life." ️ Daniel Espírito Santo, PT (www.danielespiritosanto.com) "I am Daniel Espírito Santo, a self-taught photographer and cinematographer, living in Peniche, Portugal. My art grounds on infinite love for surfing, ever-going pursuit of simplicity, and insatiable hunger for travel. Photographs I take are distinguished by energising landscapes, moments of bliss and adventurous spirit. Capturing nature as my boundless passion, I feature it with people, creating emphatic and intimate atmosphere. The ocean always remains the essence of my photography; I greatly admire its power, impermanence and elegance. The art not only enables my self-expression but more importantly, it becomes a media for sharing and inviting to celebrate the unique chance of being alive." ️ Francesca Iurilli, IT (Instagram @francesca.yi) "Italian /english, born and raised in genoa Italy, lived in England, Switzerland, California, where she completed her studies in communication design and fine art/photography and met her current collaborator and partner designer Bernhard list (CH).

For me, there is a big parallel to my other big passion – surfing. Nothing teaches me more patience than doing ceramics, the same as surfing does. I do not know how many pieces I screwed up or broke because I was impatient and wanted to do it quickly. It’s the same for surfing; how many waves I did not catch because I wanted to take off early or got in a rush and did not take my time to focus, concentrate and most important: to relax and calm my mind. The results of if I do so, can be found here in this exhibition." ️ Jakob Grosse Ophoff, DE (Instagram @ja.ko.mo) "I was born and raised at the north sea in germany, where I started windsurfing and surfing in early years. This passion shaped a big part of my character, because it includes traveling, exploring and getting out of your comfort zone. Creating art has always been important for me and it is an honour to bring my thoughts on paper, so people look and think about it." ️ Lion Gust, DE "I'm an artist and surfer, carpenter and vagabond, life artist, cook, photographer and much more...! I've been roaming the European Atlantic coast for 4 years now. Searching for inspiration, fresh food, unrestrained moments, good books and left-hand pointbreaks. This is a small part of my work." ️ Luís Silva, PT (Instagram @sickfaces) "Portuguese-based artist Luis da Silva's inspiration lies in the natural environment surrounding him, cultural elements of the 60's and surf culture of his home country. Always with the sun and ocean on his mind, he enables a merge of meticulous and introspective work delivered through psicodelia motifs and geometric shapes. Taking the viewer to another world, close to his own: one filled with melancholia, nostalgia and happiness; he delivers a classic Portuguese view of it to his audience." ️ Maddy Couch, UK (www.maddycouch.com) "Maddy Couch is an artist whose work speaks to the power of compassion and the importance of protecting wildlife.
