THE YOUTH OF

MYSTERIOUS CONVERSATIONS

Tell us briefly about you and your work

I’m a 19-year-old student from Budapest,

Hungary. I’m much into music, psychology,

literature and art. I’ve been taking photographs

for a number of years now, which can be defined

as “mood-reports”, lyrical interpretations of

my surroundings. I’ve only come to a point at

which I could really shift my focus on creating

art at the beginning of this year, and since then

I’ve been exploring different approaches. In my

latest series of abstract graphics, I was studying

the interaction between the basic elements of

depiction: lines, shapes, colors and textures.

What were you just doing?

I was out on the balcony smoking a hand-rolled

cigarette and drinking chamomile tea.

Where do you find inspiration?

My sources of inspiration vary from time to

time, but there’s a constant factor: music. This

particular series was mainly inspired by abstract,

highly textured soundscapes, glitchy broken

rhythms and the catchy melodies that sometimes

reveal themselves from under the layers of noise.

My favourite...

• novelist: Hermann Hesse

• rolling paper: red Rizla

• band: Alog

Hello hello!! I’m Álvaro Cabeza, a young spanish

graphic designer student, known as CAP·388.

I started 3 years ago, influenced by the strong

graffiti culture around my city, but I finally chose

digital illustration to express my work.

At present, I’m working for some clothing brands,

some local musicians and clubs, and I have some

projects in mind like a local magazine about

design, music, lifestyle, etc. and also my own

clothing brand.

I think I’m a optimistic person, really happy with

myself and I feel so lucky for those around me!!

I’m making a costume for a costumes party with

my friends!!


I think in my case, I don’t look for inspiration,

occurs inversily, inspiration founds me. When

I start working on something, the inspiration

comes to me acording to my moods. When I feel

very happy or very sad, appears inspiration and

I start working.

Moreover, my work is influencied by thinks I love,

like nature, music, lifestyle, etc.My favourite...

My favourite all is she...

I’m Daria. I have a cat, a clock and I’m trying to

keep up with what’s going on.

I love illustrating stories, my favourite books and

occasionally my dreams. I find that the best way

to express my emotions is by means of pencils

and pens. Sometimes it’s too difficult to explain

or it is simply unnecessary.


It often lurks in my room. somewhere in the

wardrobe between the green dress and the

blue cardigan. Things that inspire me are

animals, trees, books, travelling, people-

watching and theatre.

My favourite things come from the books

by Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Susanna Clarke,

Neil Gaiman, well.. too many to mention.. I owe

these people a lot for continually nurturing

my imagination.

I’m multidisciplinary artist, I make numeric

collages since 2004, I like the uncommon

associations this media allow. I also paint

and I draw.


Basically I need strong emotions to get inspired,

I don’t find inspiration when it is quiet around

me. Working on my art gives me a lot of

inspiration too as well as web 2.0.

It’s my aim to create photographical substance using a minimum

of technical devices.

I work with photography because it gives a clear picture of the

moment, but also shows it’s own kind of reality. People may find

their own truth in pictures they love or hate.

Good photography always hits the heart and soul of people.


Inspiration can be found everywhere on coincidence.

Big inspirations are always the sea, dark streets, travels and

individual persons.

My favourite...

book is “L’isola del giorno prima” from Umberto Eco.
