Nadia Mertens is 50 years old and lives in Metscheed.

She took her first steps into abstract painting five years ago. Her initial inspiration came from geometric shapes found in nature, which led her to explore aluminium as a sculptural material, incorporating it into her paintings through collage techniques.

After beginning as a self-taught artist, she diversified her techniques through courses with artists Lenka Seva, Séverine Mertens and Pelin Agin.

She further refined her techniques through various approaches during two private courses with Uta Heiland, a student of Robert Schüler, who studied under Gerhard Richter.

Her paintings have so far been presented in three private exhibitions in Luxembourg. Ten of her works are held in private collections in Nice, Norway and Luxembourg.

I have a strong passion for nature, especially for discovering wild and lesser-known places. Music and photography are also important sources of inspiration for me.

I enjoy observing the small details around me — plants, fungi, insects, water and stones — and capturing the atmosphere of the places I visit. Sometimes these places are close to home, while at other times they are further away and may seem ordinary or insignificant at first sight.

I do not try to take the “perfect photograph”. Instead, I let myself be guided by the moment, my surroundings and my own feelings. My photographs are not necessarily meant to show reality exactly as it is, but rather my personal way of seeing and experiencing the world.

The results can be poetic, dark, unusual or sometimes difficult to interpret.

“If you see someone wandering around in nature for no particular reason, it might be me…!”

I am Claude FRIDRICI, a guitarist, singer and rock composer. I have been performing in various bands since 1995, mainly inspired by 1980s hard rock, while also incorporating elements of different styles, including progressive rock.

From 2019 to 2022, I was the lead singer, main songwriter and composer of the band “Kwaïdan.”

Since 2023, I have been performing with my musicians Rudy Jeanperrin (bass) and Michael Masson (drums). The majority of our repertoire consists of my own compositions, both vocal and instrumental, alongside a selection of covers chosen to appeal to our audience.

New compositions are also taking shape, driven by the desire to create music that is modern, powerful, energetic and accessible.

My new instrumental EP, Through the Cloud, was released in April 2026 and is available on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms. A physical CD is also available for purchase. Music videos and live concerts will follow.

So don’t hesitate to follow us — this adventure is only just beginning!

Jazz at the cinema with The Veda Bartringer Quartet in the frame of Vianden Music Days organized by Kammerata asbl.

Veda Bartringer is a Luxembourgish guitarist and composer whose work explores the intersections of jazz, classical and world music. Her musical journey began at an early age: she started playing classical piano at eight, studied classical guitar with Jean-Jacques Wathgen from the age of fourteen, and began lyrical singing two years later. These three disciplines have continued to influence her musical expression throughout her career.

At seventeen, Veda discovered jazz, a turning point that led her to study with renowned musicians including Pit Dahm, Pol Belardi, David Laborier, Jacques Pirotton and Erik Teuwens. Her interest in improvisation and harmonic exploration brought her to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where she completed a Master’s degree in jazz guitar in 2022. During her studies, she worked with Fabien Degryse, Victor Da Costa, Fabrice Alleman, Manu Hermia, Pete Churchill, Arnould Massart and François Decamps. She also explored a wide range of musical styles, including Brazilian and Indian music, fusion and funk, which helped shape her open and versatile artistic identity.

Veda is an active presence on the Luxembourgish and Belgian jazz scenes and is involved in several projects reflecting her versatility. In 2019, she co-founded a duo with Malagasy guitarist Joël Rabesolo, creating a musical dialogue between different cultural and musical traditions. Their collaboration continues today, and in 2025 they released the single Arthur’s Room. In June 2026, they also performed together at Kinneksbond in Mamer.

Since 2020, Veda has led the Veda Bartringer Quartet, initially with Julien Cuvelier, Boris Schmidt and Maxime Magotteaux. What began as her master’s project developed into a lasting creative collaboration. The quartet released its first album, Deep Space Adventure, in April 2024, showcasing Veda’s lyrical guitar playing and distinctive compositional voice. In the same year, she was selected as a laureate of the Propulsion programme and nominated for Best Newcomer at the Luxembourg Music Awards.

Between 2021 and 2023, she collaborated with Belgian singer Ann Vandenplas, performing as an acoustic duo and appearing on national radio stations including RTBF Vivacité and DH Radio. She also participated in the RTBF Nomade project, directed by Sofian Hamzaoui, and contributed to Kid’s Phil – Une histoire de l’Avent en musique with the Philharmonie Luxembourg. In 2022, she co-created Lumens, a collective with Bernabé Balmelle, Hugo Dudziak and Charline Flammang, which presented its debut performance at La Ferme Rose in Brussels.

Since 2023, Veda has been a member of the Ensemble à Plectre municipal d’Esch-sur-Alzette, under the direction of Juan Carlos Muñoz. She has also developed a project with singer Anna Winkin, exploring the intimate dialogue between guitar and voice.

Her latest major project, Veda & The String Machine, brings her jazz quartet together with a string quartet, combining contemporary jazz, film music and orchestral arrangements. The ensemble features saxophone, guitar, double bass, drums, two violins, viola and cello. The project also includes guest artists such as Syrian-French flautist Naïssam Jalal and Belgian pianist Margaux Vranken.

The project’s album, Rise And Shine, was released on 6 June 2026, with an official album launch at the Philharmonie Luxembourg on the same day. The seven original compositions draw on autobiographical experiences and combine jazz with rich string arrangements and cinematic textures.

Veda & The String Machine continues to perform in Luxembourg and abroad, with upcoming concerts including performances in Kayl, Berlin, Marnach and Vianden in autumn 2026.

Through her different projects, Veda Bartringer continues to explore authenticity, connection and freedom in music, creating a personal musical language in which jazz, classical influences and storytelling come together.

PHOTOGRAPHER
I discovered my passion for photography in 1983 in South Africa, with my brother’s Kodak Disk 4000 camera, but my journey truly began in 1989 when I purchased my first Canon camera, a brand I have stayed loyal to ever since.
Through BucketlistPhotography, I creatively document the moments and landscapes I encounter while ticking off items from my personal bucket list.
Specializing in night photography and fine art portrait photography, I combine technical skill with artistic vision to create compelling and memorable images. My works have been featured in print & digital Gurushots Exhibitions as well as in Photography magazines (print & digital) around the world.
In April 2025 I had my first two Solo Exhibitions in Vianden, Luxembourg and in June I partipated in the Vianden Konschtour.

For many years, due to family circumstances, I was largely self-taught and, throughout my adult life, attended various courses in the field of art.

From 2004 to 2016, I worked as the head of an art studio at a facility for people with disabilities in Luxembourg. In this role, I also worked with various Luxembourg artists, which allowed me to develop my knowledge and skills in the field of art.

Since 2012, I have been attending the private painting school of Izabela Butroni in Sandweiler/Mettlach.

My personal experiences, both past and present, are an important part of my work. What moves me and what I experience finds its way into my paintings.

In my current artistic work, the colour black often plays an important role. I am fascinated by how vibrant and luminous life can emerge against a black background. Nature often inspires me with the wonderful colours it offers.

Animals also frequently play an important role in my paintings. In their eyes, I see the love that exists in the world, even when it may seem to have disappeared. They touch me on a very deep level.

For me, art has the ability to transform what is considered “ugly” into something beautiful, and I love showing that beauty.
