The artist Christian Hinz aka “Kera”, born 1985 in Berlin, has been working with color, printing techniques and façade painting for over 23 years. His works are geometrically abstract and spatial at the same time, graphics and aesthetics play a major role. Both the environment and the associated color world, as well as impulses from his love of the haptic and craft often flow into it.
Paula Marie lives and works in Berlin, where she studies fine arts at the UdK. Her artistic work focuses on capturing and documenting the faces of those around her. Her interest lies in capturing the unspoken – the subtle essence of a person and the authentic moment of encounter.
