Lukas Rosen’s work is a constant quest for reduction, designed to draw the viewer into a dialogue with his works as directly as possible. In his drawings and paintings, areas of colour and colour gradients form the foundation for text and figurative elements; their interplay creates a tension between pathos and naivety. His works explore themes such as intimacy, solitude and encounter, and approach the complex concept of love in various ways. Through serial repetitions of pictorial composition and concept, he creates meditative series of works whose differences lie in the details.

Kaan Ege Önal, born in 1996 in Kütahya, Turkey, grew up in a family of artists whose passion for traditional Turkish crafts had a significant influence on his own artistic development. Even as a child, he spent a great deal of time in his father’s pottery studio or in his mother’s painting studio, where she would decorate the pottery made by his father with traditional Turkish motifs. This early exposure to art shaped Önal and sparked a deep fascination with artistic creation.

Melissa Faltermeier is an art student at the University of Regensburg
. It was there that I discovered my love of landscape painting. In particular, during the painting excursions I regularly took part in, I developed a deep connection with nature and a passion for the diversity of colours that we often overlook in everyday life. I often lose myself in the many facets of nature and observe it with a discerning eye.

Art Student of the Month
The Art Student of the Month is selected on the basis of various factors. This feature recognises the artist who has generated the most sales during the month in question. We also take factors such as reliability, professionalism and communication into account when making our selection. In this way, we aim to recognise outstanding collaboration in particular. As this award is only given once, it does not imply that the artist was any less impressive in other months.
