In the heart of Paris, amid streets where couture tradition runs deep, Spanish artist Jaira De Arriba is quietly rewriting the language of fashion. As the founder of Kistaku, an independent upcycled fashion and art project launched in 2019, she transforms discarded textiles into emotionally charged, one-of-a-kind creations - garments that are as much statements of philosophy as they are feats of design.

In a practice that gently dissolves the boundaries between self and environment, artist, writer, and curator Damini Yadav invites us into an evolving conversation between the personal and the planetary. Currently based in Milan, Italy, Yadav’s multidisciplinary work, spanning painting, collage, environmental installations, and performance, emerges from a richly layered cultural journey: born in India, raised in Malawi, and shaped by studies in Bangalore and Milan.

There’s a quiet reverence in the work of Bella Stern - one that beckons us to slow down, reconsider our material world, and witness nature as both sculptor and collaborator. An American bio-designer, researcher, and set designer now based in Paris, Stern merges her scientific background with artistic intuition. With a Master’s in Fashion Studies from Parsons Paris and a dual undergraduate degree in Psychology and French from Villanova University and a Sustainability minor, her interdisciplinary approach feels both studied and instinctual.

In the calm yet intensely intuitive world of multidisciplinary artist and designer Ale Meridian, graphic design is more than a visual exercise - it’s an emotional language. Based in Barcelona, Ale merges digital finesse with analog inspiration to build creative universes that speak softly but powerfully. As the first artist featured on Creative Intersect, Ale’s journey sets the tone for what we hope to capture in every feature: depth, clarity, and a fierce dedication to the craft.
