Charuta Puranik 790 from India.

Kerinckx Didier 823 from Belgium.
“When people think about December, most of them think about celebrating, family, presents,… But I have tried to think differently. I have tried to look at the nature in December.

Dean De Beuckeleer 842 from Belgium.
Please note that we respect and carefully consider the ideas and motivation behind each and every artist’s work. This is why we give all artists the full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience throughout their works. This is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren’t anyhow influenced by us, but rather designed from scratch by the artists themselves.
A big thank you to all designers for their participation.
