Silvia Osella, Torino, Italy

Silvia Osella – *SILVIASTELLA - was born in Northern Italy on New Year's Eve, 1985.

She has lived the happiest childhood she could have asked for; full of colors, pencils, smiles and dreams, and that's maybe why she'd love to make it last as long as possible.

She now lives in Turin where she's working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, eating tons of strawberries and beginning to accept the hypothesis of growing up.

Dagmar Meinders, The Netherlands

Dagmar is a language and literature teacher, who'd rather be a shepherd, drawing Cryptia in the sun and live off grass. She loves to draw, loves sheep, avocados, solitude, and loves the darkness and the sun. Cryptia is her alter ego and she expresses herself in her.

Dagmar loves stories. They dance in the wind and in all storms they color her dreams when everything is dark. Dagmar quotes, “We are dreamers... and I think the world has a lot of dreaming to catch up!”
