A Quick Chat With Ada Hamza
Ada Hamza's photography was featured earlier here, she answered a few questions about her work, this is what she had to say.
Stickerpaper:
How would you describe your work in your own words?
Ada Hamza:
I would describe my photography as vernacular. I tend to have a personal approach no matter what I shoot and through the process of creating a series of photos I'm always searching for humour and subtleness.
I enjoy shooting people very much but somehow I always end up shooting nature and urban environments, and that's probably because I'm a little shy, but I'm very interested in human behaviour and intimate spaces, so I'm planning to make some portraits and work with people more in the future.
Stickerpaper:
Where would you say you get inspiration from?
Ada Hamza:
Inspiration is a thing that comes from everywhere and many times we are not aware of it. It's a mosaic of subconscious, memories, motion, smell, light, art, people....
Stickerpaper:
Finally, are there any artists you would compare your work to?
Ada Hamza:
I would feel uncomfortable and pretentious if I had to compare my work to the work of somebody who I admire and look up to so I will keep this a secret. I believe it's easier for other people to see similarities, because as an an artist it's very difficult to have an objective view of your own work.

A quick chat with illustrator, Giulia Palombino.
Another quick interview with a previously featured illustrator, Giulia Palombino.
Stickerpaper:
Hi Giulia, first question, how would you describe your work in your own words?
Giulia:
Dreamy, intimate, ironic.
Stickerpaper:
And where do you find you get the inspiration for your work?
Giulia:
In general, if I allow myself to be playful and give myself some time to associate ideas, inspiration will come. Occasionally a great art exhibition can really put me in the mood to draw. This year I felt very inspired after seeing the work of Hilma af Klint, Méret Oppenheim, and Dorothy Iannone.
Stickerpaper:
Finally, are there any artists which you feel your work would be comparable to? Either thematically or visually?
I think my work has certain affinities with the work of artists such as Henry Darger, Meret Oppenheim, Keiichi Tanaami (especially his early animations) and Roderick Mills, who has been my life drawing teacher at Central Saint Martins.
