Beril AteÅŸ, whose illustrations are based on the concept of human minds, lives in Istanbul where she creates and observers different varieties of people. Ates, who held 5 solo exhibitions so far, transfers her illustrations into design products at KAFA Cizimhane. The artist also loves traveling and nourishes New York where she lived for a while and discovered new minds. While she illustrates the dialogues between feelings and mind, she also tries to figure out why human relations are alienated so much. She feels Istanbul nowadays, we wonder what is next!
Nilgün Kara ‘s first introduction to visual arts was in junior high school when her art teacher encouraged her to paint. Her education as a graphic designer at high school was followed by art collage studying painting at Marmara University Fine Arts.
During her studentship Nilgün worked with disabled children, teaching them how to paint as a type of therapy. After graduation from University she started working as an art director in the advertising campaigns. Nilgün is still painting when she is not working but her passion for photography replaced the brush with the camera.
Nilgün Kara ‘s natural and minimalistic approach to photography is mostly influenced by the plain and simple beauty which she seeks and finds in nature.

She creates murals in restaurants. Decorates pools. Designs interiors of nightclubs. But also provides the wall of a nursery with a moving performance. Drawing is the great love of designer / styling teacher Nathalie Sebregts. With a few sensitive lines she draws people and animals if they can move at any time.
Her City Girls are now famous in Amsterdam. Girls with colorful outfits, high heels, with a pile of bags in hand; shopping back from a lap. Young women, fancy styled behind a cart. For the washing machine, a piece suit à la Chanel. Or a young lady in a red bathing suit seen from behind, sitting on a swing, her high heels are just kicked off . Another sits huddled in a warm sweater. Whether they meditate, closed in lotus position, eyes closed. The everyday life of a woman of the world, trapped in a few lines.
Normally Nathalie’s work is at Studio Mevrouw van Dale in the Hallen in Amsterdam. And Nathalie is illustrating for Wendy Magazine. The magazine of Wendy van Dijk.
But especially for Artonthebox she designed artwork with gold leaf flowers. For that daily pinch of glamour romance.

IÅžIL ARISOY KAYA
Photographer
Born in Istanbul. Graduated from Istanbul University and had a master’s degree from University of Exeter, United Kingdom. Studied in several studios to develop her art skills. 2003-2005 Resul Aytemur – Akademililer, 2005-2010 Gülay SemercioÄŸlu & Sinan DemirtaÅŸ, 2010-2011 Muammer Yanmaz – 40 Haramiler Studio.
As an artist she uses her original photographs as her canvas to create new environments. She manipulates, distorts, combines to define a new way of seeing photography. None of her artworks are really what the viewer think he/she sees, with this she wants to distract viewers and invites them to interact with the artwork and gives the viewer the possibility to take part in a creative moment.
