femke de groot
Femke is an interior architect and artist based in Amsterdam.
The sensory experience of material, texture, colors and contrasts is what she is looking for in her work. She likes the intuitive, the unpredictable, the unexpected. In her abstract work she ‘cooks’ with paint, pigments and other materials and is inspired by nature and rugged landscapes.

naomy dentro
Naomy Dentro. works as an interior architect and autonomous artist as well. A so called self-appointed interior ARTchitect.
I am a thinker and creator who strives to make every space intuitive and unique. I always try to integrate custom art into every project.
Designing has always been my second nature. As a child there was already the need for making something out of nothing and this has remained a common thread in my life. Being autonomous with an academic education in combination with commercial experience makes me a curious, versatile and commercial designer. As an artist, I make unexpected connections, creating refreshing concepts.

mimi berlin
The series Bagatelles: dolls & faces is all made with found plastics, most produced in the last century.
In this day and age when plastic is perceived as "bad", I want to show the beauty of the material. I use a lot of ‘early plastic’ such as celluloid, bakelite and melamine. I also want to give ‘inventions’ such as Tupperware with its beautiful colors ‘a place’ in my work.

Henri Verhoef is an Amsterdam based image maker whose work evolves around socially constructed ideas about masculinity.
In creating imagery he finds control. His stylized portraiture is known for it’s technical perfection and tremendous eye for detail. Sculpting the faces of his subjects with light, he looks for theatricality combined with stillness, finished off with an artificial gloss.
