Bio My Bio is much more than just a café. This is Matilda Shnurova’s new project which represents a hybrid of a restaurant and an art object dedicated to the growing awareness of today.

INSPIRATION

The restaurant concept was inspired by the projects that involve light coloristics and a foliage pattern play.

This includes the light installations by James Turrell which inspired rapper Draketo create the scenery for one of his most popular music videos, and the compositions by Olafur Eliasson that bring together art, science and natural phenomena.

As for the floral motifs, they were inspired by GUCCI campaigns and numerous paintings of flowers by Jonas Wood, a contemporary American artist.
