About the Artists:
In a world where friendship, creativity, and passion merge, the unique artist duo The Guys With The Same Name came to life.

Their bond grew stronger, and they soon realized that their artistic visions aligned perfectly.

With backgrounds in various artistic fields, the duo combined their diverse talents to embark on a wide range of creative projects. From photography to drawing and painting, there were no limits to their collaboration. They fondly remember their early days working on iconic album covers for popular Dutch artists like Doe Maar and Frank Boeijen, as well as international projects for bands like The Blue Cats.

Coming Back - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 23x17"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"Coming Back" captures a transformative moment in contemporary underwater fine art photography, where classical composition meets avant-garde expression. A figure in crimson emerges through a veil of ascending bubbles, creating a dynamic interplay between motion and stillness. The deep cerulean backdrop contrasts dramatically with the red fabric, while suspended air bubbles catch light like countless stars, evoking a celestial aesthetic. This fine art photograph explores themes of emergence and rebirth, characteristic of modern submersible portraiture. The technical mastery of underwater lighting and movement choreography elevates this piece to a meditation on human resilience and ascension.

Pointe - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 24x17"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This elegant underwater photograph captures a ballet dancer in pointe shoes and flowing white tutu, suspended in deep teal waters. The rich contrast between the pristine white costume and the moody blue-green aquatic environment creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Sher's composition bridges classical dance and contemporary underwater photography, exploring themes of grace transcending physical boundaries. The work continues the tradition of fine art photography that documents performance art in unexpected contexts, transforming the familiar ballet pose into a surreal meditation on weightlessness and artistic expression beneath the surface.
"Four years ago I wrecked my sailboat and was selfmedicating with vodka at a Russian restaurant when I suddenly noticed a cute girl hanging from the ceiling right above my glass. She was not only beautiful, she was a dancer too, and she agreed to model for me underwater.
Two days later, if you stopped by my pool you’d see a fully dressed ballerina with her hands underwater and me wriggling at the bottom around her dance e shoes. I kept asking her to tie and untie her pointe hypnotized by the small hands entwined in ribbons and light. I took quite a few pictures that day. This one is my favorite." Alex Sher

Artist's poem on "Traveling"
I think of my heart and what it loves,
of blood flowing in my veins,
my life buried under the snow of absence,
loss that tastes of a city,
an extension of the map
burning itself,
the map of childhood drawing figures
on torn paper,
destroyed walls and charred furniture...
