Taquen is a Spanish artist from Madrid whose murals and studio works explore the relationship between people and their environments. Using fluid lines and warm natural colors, he often portrays figures, animals, and plants in poetic compositions. His work reflects themes of movement, change, and connection with landscape.
Running the Sahara Marathon among Sahrawi communities profoundly impacted Taquen. Experiencing their hospitality and resilience amid harsh desert conditions shaped both his reflections and artwork. Workshops with local children and encounters with decorated hands inspired symbolic elements within the composition. The print references “the desert in the desert,” blending human gesture and landscape. Through warm tones and expressive line, the work honors courage and community, transforming endurance and solidarity into a poetic tribute.

Greg Ito is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work blends symbolic imagery with dreamlike narrative. Using recurring motifs such as windows, candles, moons, and keyholes, Ito explores themes of longing, memory, and imagination. His paintings and prints exist in a liminal space between waking life and lucid dreaming, inviting viewers into contemplative landscapes shaped by personal mythology.
Arriving in Seoul with little preparation, Greg Ito immersed himself in the city’s energy through spontaneous encounters and explorations. The constant presence of Seoul Tower became a symbolic anchor, representing longing and discovery. Navigating unfamiliar streets and forming new friendships sharpened his awareness of place and self. In his print, Ito frames the landscape within his signature keyhole motif, suggesting both memory and desire. The work transforms a personal moment of connection into a symbolic image that captures the emotional resonance of finally visiting a long-imagined destination.
