THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF YVES KORTUMYves Kortum, a photographer born in Luxembourg in 1969, began his career in 1987 and established himself as an independent fashion photographer in 1993. His inspiration draws heavily from theater and cinema, especially classic films from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, giving his images a distinctive narrative quality from that era.
Kortum firmly believes that models must feel and understand the photographer’s vision, creating a connection that enhances the final outcome. He has a deep passion for portraiture, striving to reveal the essence of his subjects’ character in each image, where every wrinkle tells a story and reflects a lifetime of experiences.

THE WORKS OF ERIC WALLISEric Wallis began painting with oils at the age of seven, exploring nature alongside his father. Together, they roamed mountain forests and farmlands, searching for scenes that captured the serenity and beauty of their surroundings. Throughout his school years, Eric collected numerous awards as his impressionistic style evolved; color and texture became the core of his artistic expression.
Eric Wallis' work spans various themes, including landscapes, water, flowers, and, most notably, the human figure. It is here where we pause, particularly focusing on his deep passion for the female nude. His emphasis on vibrant colors and rich textures elevates his paintings to levels of intense emotion and subjectivity, inviting viewers into a unique visual experience.
