19. Brandenburg Gate

1. Typru | France / Portugal

The artwork COLOURS OF LIFE was inspired by the colours of nature that immediately surround it. The work, which playfully captures shapes and spaces, narrates dreams of everyday life. “Between sea, earth, light and sky, the 4 mothers of nature take us on a journey through the colours of life. In Typru’s work, water, earth, fire and air portray themselves as four different entities that coexist and represent an infinite variety of universes that form a whole.”

2. Sunnana Inc. | Japan

It is about the HARMONY with nature that is at the heart of the Japanese way of thinking, about the various traditional colours that come from this harmony, and about the original beauty of life. The artwork address its effect to those who live in the middle of the current hectic of the world.

3. Kurbas Production | Ukraine

The world “gallery” encompasses a vast array of life’s “canvases”, painted in an assortment of palettes and featuring a carefully curated selection of tones. The monochromatic canvases in the world’s gallery are no less beautiful until they become too overwhelming and disrupt the colourful palettes of other people’s lives. When one palette does not agree with the existence of another, it is reflected destructively in the entire exposition of the world’s “gallery”. So we gradually learn to look for harmonious combinations and achieve a symphonic polyphony, where each part will be heard, where each voice will support the general consonance without muting others.

4. MP-STUDIO | Bulgaria
