"A Song of the Field, 2016" by Adariiine

“Many people paint roses and peonies. Some paint lilac and tulips. As for me I have always loved all sorts of field flowers. They seem to be simple but they have an important feature: they are light and free in contrast to other flowers. They smell special to me, their fragrance is something I always want to breathe in.”

"Rain Project: Amsterdam after rain, 2015" by Catalin Ilinca

“When I approach a theme like a street scene, a city scape, or a landscape, I'm not interested in depict stones, rocks, walls, pavements or bridges. I treat it as being a living thing, and one of the challenges is to give it a vibe, a mystery, an inner movement.”
