HMX (1975) is a self-taught artist from the Netherlands whose work emerges from a restless pursuit of form, composition, and visual experimentation.
Drawing from his graffiti roots, he has developed an independent visual language shaped by intuition and an ongoing process of discovery. Abstract line drawing lies at the core of his practice, sometimes visible on the surface, but more often directing the rhythm and flow of the composition.
Inspired by irregularities in the urban landscape, nature, and architecture, HMX creates works marked by organic movement, graphic textures, and dynamic energy. Embracing mistakes and unexpected outcomes as catalysts for creation, his work continuously evolves through experimentation and exploration.
Tiago Hesp (1981) is a Portuguese visual artist whose practice is distinguished by its contemporary approach and its strong visual and conceptual impact.
Holding a degree in Scenography from the Lisbon Theatre and Film School, Hesp combines academic training with over two decades of artistic practice. Having also attended the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, his journey began in graffiti in the late 1990s, evolving into a distinctive authorial language that merges urban art, painting, and installation.
His work is usually anchored in a core concept, developed through a careful, curious, and detail-oriented gaze. His artistic practice is grounded in constant questioning: observing, looking again, changing perspective, and asking once more. For Hesp, creation is an ongoing act of discovery, in which doubt and curiosity act as creative drivers. Each project is born from this attentive listening to the object, the space, and the context, with collage serving as the medium playground to assemble the parts.
