Saira De Goede – Artist

Toronto based, Saira de Goede is a 26 year old self-taught artist born and raised on the West coast of Canada.  Her art is inspired visually by the universe and all its magical energies, shapes and textures. Her aspiration is to capture the diverse emotions and feelings that go on within each and every human being. Her passion for painting blossomed by her experiences as an international model. She was inspired by the eccentricity of the world of fashion and the beauty of the human form. However, the oxymoron of the fashion world caused her spirit to battle in both positive and negative ways. Most of her paintings are expressions of experiences she’s felt personally hoping to touch and relate to viewers who see them.

Ryan Wibawa

After graduating from a graphic design major, I started pursuing my artistic endeavours. As a designer, I can’t help but be very visually alert. I like imperfect perfections, irrational details, and beautiful mistakes.

I love fashion and photography, and the two combined together is pure bliss. I work within passion and creativity, simulated by radiant people, mystical places, hi fashion, and exhilarating music and movies.

I am fascinated by the innovating technology and the evolving design. Slaved by perfection, I strive to consistently create the lasting impression on my every piece.

Photography can be described as a medium that captures reality, but I’d rather capture stories and personalities with a touch of fantasy. It’s my way to express how things are through my eye – creating illusions of existence.

I currently reside in Canada. I travel frequently to Los Angeles.

Karolina Turek

Photography is something I’ve always been interested in, but hearing how hard the industry could be, It discouraged me from pursuing it
straight out of high school.

I started modeling in 2006 and won UMM Magazine’s contest for Canada’s Hottest Bartender. I then appeared in FHM,Maxim Online, Esquire Magazine- Turkey, DXL, and SUMMUM magazine.

After seeing photos of myself from my first photo shoot, I felt confident and empowered and knew that I wanted to help more women feel this way! I started taking photos of my girlfriends and had great feedback so I decided to take up photography professionally!

I have shot for international publications as well as shooting regularly for Summum (Quebec Men’s magazine) and UMM magazine, Yaletown Magazine, and now Fiona Forbes for Vancouver View. Although I really enjoy shooting beauty and fashion, headshots are a blast … bringing that sparkle in someone gets me excited!!!

I have no formal training!! I’m mainly self-taught, but I’ve also had the pleasure of assisting a fantastic Photographer Erich Saide, who has become one of my very best friends.

I simply try to create a free environment which allows subjects to enjoy the purity of the moment as it happens.”
