Peppone
Peppone received 500 Tintin albums from his father and is always looking to expand his comic book collection. He describes this collection as his "paper heritage" and uses it "to create artistic encounters with our memories and humanity." Peppone's vibrant sculptures and mixed media works of well-known comic book characters challenge us to question our conventional views of what art should be. In his mixed media works, he places the heroes of our childhood in situations with iconic references, inviting the viewer to recall the strength of certain photographs, films, posters or historical events. In this way, his works penetrate the roots of our cultural memory, which the artist interprets in a new and humorous way.

Isabelle Scheltjens
Isabelle Scheltjens has been interested in art since her youth. She studied at SISA, the Antwerp City Institute for Decorative Arts and Crafts. Her husband's glass design inspired Isabelle to work with the same material. It took years of intense practice and juxtaposition of countless pieces of colored glass to refine her method and truly master color theory. She developed a unique glass fusing technique that fuses pieces of glass of different colors, sizes and textures together at about 800°C.

Joel Amit
Joel Amit was born in Jerusalem in 1982. His interest in painting, sculpture and design was aroused at a young age. Initially, he experimented with wood, metal and paper - the goal was to create large and new forms from small "snippets". Joel Amit finds the process of shaping metal - a heavy and cold material - into butterflies, fish, birds and feathers liberating. Joel Amit's installations give the impression of absolute lightness and weightlessness. In his work he is always looking for an extra dimension - a hidden layer and a challenge for the eye.

Charles Fazzino
Charles Fazzino, born in New York in 1955, is one of America's best-known artists. The son of a Finnish sculptress and an Italian designer, he appeared at a young age with his first exhibitions after studying at the School of Visual Arts, one of the leading American colleges for art and design. Fazzino established three-dimensional pop art globally and is today the most famous 3-D pop artist in the world. His comic-inspired paintings speak of the lively and glittering life of the metropolises, especially his hometown of New York. But Fazzino has also long since discovered a heart for Europe, as documented by numerous works he has dedicated to cities such as London, Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt. Fazzino is equally concerned with sporting themes. He is a passionate sports fan and has been the official artist for the American Superbowl for years. For Fazzino, art is, as he says, an elixir of life that makes people smile. Anyone who has experienced the elaborate process by which Fazzino's 3-D works are created knows how to appreciate the artist's artistry and extraordinary talent: First the sketch, then the painting, finally the lithograph. Then the individual pieces are meticulously cut out and precisely pasted in up to three layers to the appropriate places. Only then is a Fazzino work of art complete.
