Martine Seibert-Raken is a German artist and conceptual sculptor.
She works with wall objects, drawings, sculptures, and has become known for creating a unique structure of thin wire mesh, elusive as a cumulus cloud. This dense cloud of hexagonal wire mesh, landing in the green or floating in the air, also fascinates viewers because its surface is constantly changing due to the reflection of light. Martine Seibert-Raken's most successful works are installations in gardens, on rooftops or in urban settings, where they come into close contact with light - day and night.
Theodor Sprenger is a German sculptor and artist.
Martin Schöneich is a German sculptor and teacher.
He studied sculpture and graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and became known for complex geometric forms made from a combination of sandstone, steel and wood.
Schöneich concentrates on several elements: segments of circles, spheres, cubes or cylinders become geometric symbols, which he transfers to real space in various variations. A characteristic of his precisely calculated works is great compositional and formal clarity. Schöneich's works are often built on a few points, they barely touch the ground, which gives them lightness and elegance.

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal was a Spanish figurative and abstract sculptor. He is best known for his puzzle sculptures, which can be disassembled into many abstract pieces. These works are also known for the miniature artworks and jewelry incorporated into or concealed within them, and the fact that some of the sculptures can be reassembled or reconfigured into different arrangements. Berrocal's sculptures span a wide range of physical sizes from monumental outdoor public works, to intricate puzzle sculptures small enough to be worn as pendants, bracelets, or other body ornamentation.
Friedrich Gräsel was a German sculptor, painter and graphic artist. He was known for his kinetic sculptures, which often incorporated light, sound, and movement.
Gräsel studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and later taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. He began creating kinetic sculptures in the 1960s, using a wide range of materials such as metal, wood, and plastic to create dynamic, interactive works of art.
Gräsel's sculptures often feature intricate mechanisms and complex systems of movement, inviting viewers to engage with the work on a sensory level. His work frequently incorporates elements of humor and whimsy, while also exploring deeper themes related to technology, nature, and the human condition.
Gräsel exhibited his work extensively throughout Europe, including at the Venice Biennale, Documenta in Kassel, and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. He was also awarded numerous honors and awards for his work, including the Bavarian Order of Merit in 1987 and the Art Prize of the City of Nuremberg in 1997.
