Get to know… “Start your art”

The market for start ups in Germany and the rest of the world is booming – more and more people take the step into freelance because they want to share their innovative ideas with others.

With our new series “Get to know…” we want to introduce you to some of these interesting projects – and want to know, what kind of art they have put on their office walls. We start with Jenny Seul, who founded “Start your art” at the end of 2010, an auction portal for young artists.

Find: Jane Moseley

Jane Moseley obviously has a passion for candles – and she must have tons of those things, that lighten up our dark winter evenings, at home. Because her sculptures mainly consists of wax.

And they look kind of creepy – or how do you like the idea of being covered in cold wax entirely? Right. But in a museum her sculptures surely develop their own special charme. However, we wouldn’t like meeting them at night…

Behind the scenes: Julia Schmitz

Today we met with Julia Schmitz, in love with all things written on ARTFLAKES.

Despite these hair-rising -11°C she hopped outside for a second to have her picture taken – and quickly rushed inside again with a warm coffee in her hand.

And on it goes: Today it’s the turn of chief developer Mathias Fiedler.

For our series “Behind the scenes” he took some time off of his nerdy stuff in order to answer the questions. And he wasn’t too shy to pose in his freshly bought glasses as well!

We present: Pieces of Berlin

What is it that makes the special charme of Berlin, drawing thousands and thousands tourist to the city every year? Photographer Florian Reischauer – a born Austrian – uses every free minute to find the attitude towards life: “Everything is possible, nothing must!”. His finds are shown on his website “Pieces of Berlin“.

He does not only snap dilapidated ruins and rank courtyards, classic sights or colourful graffitis, but especially the inhabitants of Berlin: Students, artists, musicians, pensioners or road sweepers love to be available for a portrait and a quick chat. Thus the wild mixture of people bustling around the city is captured on photographic paper in a lovely way.
