Being shortlisted excites us because it validates our work and our artistic journey. It inspires us to keep evolving. If we win, it would greatly support our development as artists.

We’re independent artists and neighbors by the sea. Our morning beach walks, where we discuss personal and social topics, inspire our projects, which we create in our apartments.

How long did it take to complete your project?
From brainstorming to the opening of the exhibition - about four months

What is your dream commission?
We dream of new opportunities to expand our art and illustrated world, and to be invited to create custom exhibitions designed for unique spaces.

We like to draw surreal, unconventional art, embracing 'perfection in imperfection' and finding beauty in what’s traditionally deemed 'wrong' to convey meaningful messages.

What is your best tip for other illustrators?
Stay true to your unique vision and let your creations emerge from your personal perspective. Art allows you to explore beyond reality and express your imagination freely.

What are your plans for the future?
Our vision is to continue to work together on a global scale, sharing our ideas, beliefs, art, and creativity with a broader audience around the world.
