Our next nominee:

Belén Sánches, born in Madrid in 1972, has been a member of Studio Debajo del Sombrero since 2008.
Her drawings, collages, sculptures and films focus on her own body, with which she tells stories of aggression and healing. As a performer, she slips into the role of both evil and good.
In doing so, she creates a tense space of action that enables her to both wander through the abysses of violence and always resolve the moral conflicts in a positive way.

Our next nominee is Christian Wollert.

He was born in 1987 in Berlin, has been working as an artist and actor at Thikwa Werkstatt since 2011. His visual works are powerful and often address everyday issues. Christian Wollert has been working with stitching since 2022. He transforms his own or found images into textile, colour-intensive works. Christian Wollert develops a free and generous form of stitching.

Rolf Waldvogel is our another nominee of euward 9.

He was born in 1950 in Leonberg, where he lives today. He worked as a painter and varnisher until 1980, when he joined Atrio Leonberg, from where he moved to the working group at KreativWerk Höfingen in 2015. With precision, the artist sketches out his delicate patterns, always geometrically correct, except for the occasional planned break. With artist's coloured pencils, he finally gives them strong colours and strong contrasts and usually finishes them by outlining the shapes with a black line.

Desmond Tjon A Koy, born in Amsterdam in 1993, is of Ghanaian-Surinamese descent. He enjoys working with pencil and fineliner on subjects related to the culture of black peoples, religious history and music. Recently, his work has become increasingly concerned with the history and freedom struggle of the People of Color.
