Antwerp / Shop

Almost every day at lunch-time I visit the local grocery store. They sell a lot of fresh vegetables and are very friendly towards children. Visiting this shop is like going on holiday.

Porto / Restaurant

At night, Porto becomes a magical city, where the play of lights on the ups and downs of the city leave no one indifferent. The best views can be enjoyed from Cais de Gaia, which is full of bars and restaurants and Porto Wine Cellars that provide a panoramic view.

Zürich / Street Food

Zürich has embraced ‘shipping container chic’ with the utterly charming urban garden Frau Gerolds Garten. We stopped by for drinks in the early evening, and sipped as the sun went down. Lovely stuff. Positioned beside the railway, I got over-excited about the bundles of overhead wires, which ultimately inspired my Tiny Guide Zurich print. Mixed in with fairy lights, street art, cushions, greenery and a bath of plants (of course) this is a great place to hang out for relaxed food and drinks, and full of opportunities to test out your camera.

London / Architecture

Favourite walk at night, especially in the summer. Quite dramatic, very romantic.

Shanghai / Park

The one of a kind pocket park in the middle of old town Shanghai built for and loved by the local community. An inspiring Utopian urban living in reality, I used to commute a lot both for pleasure and field research of my service design assignment. It's currently used by the local government as a PCR test spot. Wish it could reopen soon to public!

Saint Petersburg / Shop

A vintage store, a studio and an atelier all under one roof. Sick interior and great brand selection.

Waimea / Nature

Nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon is about ten miles long and up to 3,600 feet deep. It's a great place to realize how small you and your problems actually are. There are several lookout points as you drive through the canyon. In the designated areas you have to pay for parking but once you pay for this first one, you should be golden for all other parking areas. It's a bit of a drive to get into that area, so I highly recommend bringing some sandwiches and snacks to have lunch while taking in the view.

Cape Town / Shop

AKJP Studio / Collective is a concept store that houses some of the best local designers. They stock clothing, ceramics, jewelry, bags, shoes, magazines.

Stockholm / Bookstore

I love books and Konst-ig is the best art bookstore in Stockholm. They also seel my books.

Vienna / Bar

Minimalist Bar with a pleasantly dark atmosphere in the 5th district. Exceptionally good espresso and equally good cocktails. Drinks are made with love and passion. In addition, smaller, freshly prepared Italian snacks such as tramezzini are also served. Nice music. Family atmosphere.

Albany / Shop

An independent shop featuring a carefully chosen selection of home goods, gifts, stationery, jewelry and more. They also host constantly rotating workshops, and have a corner of the space rented by Olive & June Floral Co. offering bouquets and houseplants.

Brunswick / Place

This image was taken on my 35mm olympus film camera on a stormy, rainy evening in Brunswick. The house is only a few streets away from mine and I often noticed it's hauntingly beauty driving past. It is an image from the photographic series 'Witness'.

London / Designer

Peter Nencini came to London in 1992, to study at the Royal College of Art. Aside from a three-year interlude working in Brussels, he stayed put. A designer and educator, he has worked across print and television for clients such as the New York Times and the BBC. More recently, he has gravitated towards editioned and exhibited work in ceramic, fabric, wood and metal — with a bonding interest in the space between typographic and figurative form. An interview about his work, with Ryan G. Nelson for the Walker Art Center, can be read here. His editioned box and wall works are currently showing at Partners & Spade, New York.

Antwerp / Artist

Ileana Moro (b1992) Costa Rica. Currently, she lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. Moro’s artworks are recognized mainly for her painting in dark tones wanting to expose the depths and layers of experiences as an instinctive relationship to the invisible things and the emotions buried within her daily life. Some represent abstract themes and isolated forms interacting within each other to archieve an intimate emotional issues, mental statements and spiritual transfiguration to awaken the soul, the unseen. Seeking to achieve a balance through the transformation from shadow to light believing that the shadow is a dark omen. A powerful teacher. Having spent her life in Costa Rica and outside. Ileana started in architecture and swiftly found Fine Art as the better way to explore her creativity and curiosity. Her artworks are held in private collections throughout the United States, Australia, the UK, Asia and Europe.

These are skillfully set in scene, played by light and shadow which stands out for his work – the perfect composition of work with materials, structures and surfaces. His potential in graphic design and art direction is reflected in his conceptual approach. The perfection in the imagery, the eye for the unusual can be found in details or their emphasis in the pictures.
