In a few words, art for us is everything. We met 17 years ago and the first thing in common we had was a passion to express ourselves in art. When we began, the main idea was to give more visibility to gay art and to show that it can exist in different forms, for example in combining classical watercolor technique with the male erotic image. Btw the first art book we had, and it is still on our shelf, was a huge collection of Tom of Finland drawings. It has inspired a lot. You can see not only the drawing itself, but sense the feeling behind it. They are made with so much passion. Right now the world is accelerating so fast that, in my opinion, art is one of the stopping points where we can concentrate and reflect. But mostly connect with each other. We met so many wonderful people in our journey. It's just incredible. Also, I would really like to say thank you to all those people around the world who constantly support art and artists.
