Sarah Rocca is a self-portrait artist who explores the beauty she sees in the darkness of life. Where you might feel tension or discomfort, Rocca feels a sense of peace and ease when delving into subjects like fear, anxiety and death. This fascination with darkness and beauty can be seen throughout Rocca’s work as she aims to create pieces that ask the viewer to see themselves through her eyes. Rocca’s work portrays single subjects, often in uncomfortable positions, signifying the challenges we face mentally and physically throughout our daily lives. Rocca aims to explore subjects which society would rather sweep under the rug and what social media hides; female sexuality, anxiety, mental health, grief. These are topics which everyone will encounter throughout their lives yet for many they are topics you don’t speak of. Rocca uses her art as a way to tell her own story which allows the viewer to feel like they can relate in one way or another.

Roberto Voorbij is a multidisciplinary artist apart from working with ‘ready made’ materials, he works with video, 3D Software and (digital) collage. Commerciality and public space are recurring themes in Voorbij’s work. What highly fascinates him about this is the underlying history, politics and marketing strategy of our seemingly neutral environment. His works are often socially critical. Another recurring theme concerns the art world/art market and the way in which the artist manifests itself here, as well as the autonomy of the artwork that’s being questioned.
