Dent-de-Lion du Midi (top right corner)
and all 25 Master Artists.
The 25 Artists, from right to left, top to bottom:
Matteo Rinaldi — Painter
A master of restrained Mediterranean light, Rinaldi paints figures that seem paused between decisions. His brushwork is economical but emotionally loaded. The Olive Staircase and Late Sun, Bari are considered modern quiet classics.
“Rinaldi paints silence as if it were architecture.” — Il Manifesto
Miloš Kovař — Novelist
Kovař writes psychologically compressed novels where nothing dramatic happens, yet everything changes. The Quiet Corridor and A Minor Delay are widely taught. His prose is admired for its moral precision.
Elise Moreau — Photographer
Moreau’s portraits reject glamour in favour of directness and psychological presence. Her series Unlit Rooms redefined contemporary European portraiture. Critics praise her ability to make stillness feel confrontational.
Karel Dvořák — Composer
Dvořák composes sparse chamber works built on repetition and tension rather than melody. His cycle Five Pieces for a Narrow Room is frequently performed in concert halls throughout Europe.
“Music that sounds very old, yet seems somehow new.” — Neue Musikzeitung
Dent-de-Lion du Midi — Artist
Du Midi is the closest example we have of a modern-day Leonardo—his works span multiple forms, a synergistic philosophical Glassperlenspiel.
“Ever creating yet never repeating, which in itself is extraordinary.” — Journal of the Fine Arts
Henri Beaumont — Playwright
Beaumont writes dialogue that feels overheard rather than written. His play Three Chairs, No Exit ran for years in repertory theaters.
“Beaumont trusts silence more than plot.” — Le Figaro
Aylin Demir — Visual Artist
Demir combines drawing and restrained colour fields. Her work often centres on profile views and partial faces.
“A study in presence without spectacle.”
Rúben Carvalho — Sculptor
Carvalho sculpts human heads slightly larger than life, always with exaggerated bone structure. His exhibition Pressure Points explored how identity lives in anatomy.
Seán O’Leary — Poet
O’Leary writes poems that read like private notes never meant to be published. Weather for Leaving is frequently cited as a modern Irish classic.
“A poem should feel like it knows something about you.”
Marek Havel — Graphist
Havel’s poster work blends constructivist discipline with contemporary unease. His series for abandoned theaters across Central Europe gained cult status.
Clara Weiss — Painter
Weiss paints faces from memory, never from life. Her portraits feel unfinished on purpose, resisting closure. Twenty Attempts at a Sister, a work in oil on panel, is her most discussed work.
Arjun Malhotra — Cinematographer
Malhotra is known for shots that feel almost accidental, as if discovered rather than designed. His work on Quiet River is frequently cited for its austere, patient compositions and reserved emphasis.
“Malhotra frames absence with the same care others reserve for action.” — Cahiers du Cinéma
Isak Lund — Installation Artist
Lund builds environments that viewers must physically navigate. His work Corridor with Breathing Walls blurred the line between sculpture and psychology.
Nikolai Petrov — Concert Pianist
Petrov’s interpretations favor architectural clarity over romantic excess. His Bach recordings are admired for restraint and inner momentum.
“A pianist who refuses to decorate.”
Yuki Matsuda — Calligraphy
Trained in traditional calligraphy, Matsuda integrates European typography and abstraction. Her book-object Margins redefines cross-cultural minimalism.
Gregor Stein — Theatre Director
Stein strips theater down to voice and posture. His staging of Antigone used no set and no music—only breath and distance.
Leonie Hartmann — Playwright
Hartmann collaborates closely with directors, shaping meaning through structure rather than text. She is credited with redefining rehearsal methodology.
Daniel Lavoisier — Choral Director
Lavoisier specializes in Renaissance and contemporary choral fusion. His performances are known for breath precision and tonal purity.
Ingrid Salonen — Sound Installation Artist
Salonen works with near-silence, using barely audible frequencies. Her installation Threshold Hum altered audience perception of space.
Étienne Kouamé — Sound Artist
Kouamé records transitional spaces—stairwells, tunnels, waiting rooms—treating movement as an acoustic condition rather than an event. His album Between Floors is frequently used in contemporary dance productions for its ability to suggest passage without destination.
“Kouamé divides time without marking it.” — The Wire
Mariam Al-Haddad — Film Director
Al-Haddad emerged suddenly with her debut feature Under One Sky, a film praised for its quiet refusal of binaries around faith, gender, and tradition, offering a European voice shaped by an Eastern background that approaches the Middle East without didacticism or spectacle.
“Al-Haddad does not explain her heritage to the West—she invites it to listen.” — Sight & Sound
Nils Aalto — Stage Lighting Designer
Aalto designs light as narrative structure rather than decoration. His work often replaces scenery entirely.
Eva Lindholm — Installations
Lindholm creates installations that become essays in space. Her show The Human Interval toured six European cities.
“She curates thinking, not objects.”
André Kowalczyk — Tenor
Kowalczyk is admired for vocal gravity and textual clarity. His interpretation of Schubert’s Winterreise is widely praised.
Katarina Velez — Contemporary Dancer
Velez works almost exclusively with stillness and delayed motion. Her solo Weight of Standing redefines minimal movement in European dance. Critics praise her physical intelligence and quiet virtuosity.
