Through my works I have found a way to reconnect with my source, that being my Bulgarian heritage where I endeavour to explore Bulgarian culture; inviting the viewer to submerge into the limitless sea of mysteries, rituals and realities existing beyond the being everyday life.

Rune is a self-taught artist whose work has found identity as part of a growing urban art movement. His paintings have been exhibited in Denmark, Germany, Australia and across the US. Much of Rune’s inspiration comes from his time spent travelling and observing cultural traditions, religious motifs, textiles, and costumes from around the world.

Based in Los Angeles for just over 20 years, Amir H. Fallah originally moved from the Baltimore area on the East Coast to attend art school. Once finished with their studies, they decided to pursue a graduate degree at UCLA, and after experiencing the beautiful weather and the art scene in LA, never left. Back then, the art world in LA was not as big as it is now, which was actually appealing to Amir. It felt like the Wild West and allowed for more experimentation and rule-breaking compared to the high-stakes and specific trajectory of the East Coast, particularly in New York.

In my work I explore the realms of macabre and grotesque ideas and images in a humorous and colourful manner. I take themes like death, cheating, toxic masculinity, beastialty etc.. and bring them into a playful world I built that kind of says "I know these are parts of life no matter how dark, so might as well make fun of them".
