Sigrid Beckmann
“Art is the gift to revisit and share what flows in our soul.”
Passion about art, photography and the Sea, has led Sigrid to collect and share unique scenes of the Sea and the elements that harmonize with it. Being from a family of sailors, her continuous and deep contact with the Sea has generated in her awe, love, passion and absolute respect for this living force on which all of us on this planet depend deeply.
Sigrid seeks to create awareness of the importance of a clean and healthy Ocean by showing us its beauty, strength, irreverence, nobility and endless energy.
Susana Portillo
“No matter what you do, what you dream of or what you want to do, as long as you follow your heart, nothing and no one can stop you. Pursue your happiness.”
Before becoming a photographer Susana worked in advertising for a long time with major brands, but she knew she was missing out on much more, so she sold everything but her camera and went around the world to fulfill her dream of being a travel photographer.
From Portugal to Japan, she sought to broaden her vision of the world, learn about new cultures, discover the reality in which we live and, in this way, inspire more people to fulfill their dreams no matter how complicated they may seem.
