A warm, expressive photo collage. On the left — a portrait photograph of a young woman standing in sunlight. She has short hair and wears a black top with decorative sparkling details and a red skirt. The sunlight creates soft shadows across her face and wall, giving the image a calm yet radiant mood. On the right — a vivid painting filled with surreal energy: two intertwined fiery figures with bright red hair stand between a smiling sun and a dreamy moon, surrounded by colorful snakes in motion. Below the painting — three smaller images: one showing a red-lit staircase interior, another an abstract fiery artwork, and the last a black-and-white photo of a person in expressive movement. The collage feels like a journey through light, passion, and imagination — from real sunlight to the flames of artistic creation.

A collage composed of four images placed against a background split into pink and dark blue. On the left: a portrait of a woman in a shiny blue outfit, surrounded by crumpled silver foil. They have curly dark hair, with strands falling over their face, and she holds a smoking pipe as if she is taking a puff, and stares intently at the camera. On the top right: a painting-like artwork dominated by deep blue. It shows a faint woman face in the center with glowing eyes, elongated brushstrokes above the head resembling horns or rays of light in yellow, white, and green. Small golden oval shapes line one side of the face, creating a mystical, surreal impression. • On the bottom left: a photo of an urban street with a female figure in the background. Over the photo is bold white text: “Why do I have to pay every time I sit down in this city?” followed by a shorter line in smaller font. • On the bottom right: a woman with curly hair, sitting against a white background, wearing a colorful sports top in pink, purple, and black. They cover their mouth with both hands, eyes wide open, looking directly at the camera. Across the image, the word “Therapist” is written in bold yellow handwritten script.

radioplato.bandcamp.com/album/amal
The collage presents a musical duo alongside several visual references to their work. On the left side, the two members are photographed outdoors, standing together against a background of trees and pavement. Their casual clothing and neutral expressions highlight a natural and unposed moment. The image captures them as artists outside the stage, emphasizing authenticity and simplicity. There are three music release covers on the right. Album cover - shows a palm tree on a night background; the second one below shows – branches with flowers; the third picture is the first single – a desert landscape with a white animal. These covers represent the visual identity of the duo’s releases and reflect the diversity of their artistic approach. The collage combines a portrait of the musicians with symbols of their creative output. It offers both a personal and professional view, showing who they are and what they create.

ALINA ORLOVA (aka Alina Orlovskaja)

Written by Alina Orlova, Adas Gecevičius, Paulius Vašas

facebook.com/AlinaOrlova
The collage consists of six images arranged on an orange background. • At the top center is a large photo of a young woman with wavy, light-brown hair. She is wearing a loose white blouse with wide sleeves and a black skirt. She stands against a dark wall, her arms slightly raised in a graceful pose. • Below this portrait are five square images arranged. These look like album covers with different artistic designs: 1. An abstract image of waves and sand with the words "ISH KUR?" 2. A close-up of a hand in a green velvet sleeve holding a shining crystal, with the word "VEIDRODELI." 3. An image with pale blue abstract patterns resembling frozen water, titled "AMYGDALA". 4. A piano keyboard with a round sun-like mirror above it, with the words "KAZHKUR TOLI". 5. A classic still-life of fruits in a bowl with leaves, echoing Renaissance-style painting. The collage combines the portrait of the woman with artistic and musical imagery, suggesting creativity and music albums.

It's a bright sunny day in the photo. In the center of the frame are two young men in black T-shirts. One of them has medium-length hair and has a backpack slung over his right shoulder. He put his left hand on the other's shoulder. He has shoulder-length hair and black sunglasses. They are musician friends. They stand against the background of the sea shining from the sun. To the right of the friends on the coast, skyscrapers can be seen in the distance in the haze. A little closer, also to the right, a green area is visible from the trees on the shore. On a light blue background at the bottom of the photo, there are ten different photo images, these are the covers of all the music releases of the rock band, whose members are the young men in the photo. The rock band's website address is written in large black letters under the photos.
