Samira Kurt, 2000, grew up in Wangen an der Aare and is a young artist. She has a bachelor's degree in art and design education and now lives in Bern. In her artistic work, she explores physical and psychological boundaries, with her own body taking centre stage. One of her central works, Selbstportrait, 2023, is about a moment that cannot be put into words.   It is the search for an expression for emotions that refuse to be expressed in language.

Swiss-based photographer Sebastian Magnani is known for his expressive portraits that cleverly use light and colour to evoke subtle emotions. His latest series, ‘Daily Bat’, integrates the iconic figure of Batman into everyday life and sheds light on themes such as the mundane and loneliness from a new perspective. In collaboration with Lumas, he sold over 1500 limited edition prints in just one year, making him one of the three most successful artists on the platform. Sebastian's art has been exhibited in renowned galleries in Asia, Europe and the USA and regularly sells out. He particularly appreciates the support of his collector community, which inspires his creativity. The artist, who has been hyped by Brad Pitt, is also offering a world premiere in Zermatt. Be curious.
