Illustrator and artist Frau Isa not only works with spray cans on walls but also loves to draw with acrylic on canvas and design digital art on her computer. You can admire her piece of work on murals, screen prints, invitation cards and magazines. The young, talented artist from Vienna also runs her own company for illustration and graphic design called “Waldundschwert”.
Tyrolean artist HNRX (AT) tries to paint almost every day and is always on the lookout for a fresh wall to attack. His depiction of fruits and everyday objects like a Gameboy, a toothbrush or sushi integrate the errors and unevenness of the surfaces which he paints on. Even though he also shows his works in galleries he doesn't like to work on canvas and prefers paper or carton for his acrylic and marker-based artworks. If you ask him if there is a profound message behind his works he will answer: Yes, it is love, joy and fun.

The details he highlights in each of his portraits make those faces unique, unmistakable, intense, precisely because what Jerson wants to come out are the essences, those true colors that characterize each person’s interiority, and that manage to make it unique precisely because of those facets, those infinite combinations capable of generating a delineated and changing personality; the sensation is that of observing others through the lens of a kaleidoscope, from which one can see the different joints that make up its exclusive and original peculiarities.

Kashink is a well-known street artist from Paris, where she started painting more than a decade ago. She is most famous for her drawn mustache that she puts onto her upper lip every day she wanders the surface of earth. She not only is specialized in large-scale murals but also includes bright colors and tries to change the public perception of the female body.
She shakes our ideas of beauty and is regularly involved in working together with students or the community.
Koz Doz always loved to draw. Escaping from uncertain living conditions in his homeland Venezuela he travelled to Europe to present his indigenous influenced paintings which mix portrayals with abstract forms and background colors. He likes to paint on completely different surfaces and always tries to touch upon his mystic and mythic tales and therefore provoke emotional responses from the passer-by.

Emerging from a southern province of Italy Millo is now travelling most of the time and participating in various festivals and exhibitions around the world. His paintings often broach the issue of living conditions in the modern metropolis. He doesn't use spray cans and almost paints exclusively with brushes on his large-scale murals which are most of the time black and white with only sparse use of color.

Back then in 2015 the former Viennese collective Perfekt World tried to include their interest in design and contemporary art in their work as graphic designers. They have shown their art constantly in galleries and even had their own gallery space “Perfekt Box”, presenting international renowned artists, before they dissolved in 2015 and continued their work as individual artists.
