Naiara Nolla, an artistic soul


Miss Naiara Nolla is a Spanish girl with a strong international background,

She has been travelling all over the world and that experiences have had a deeply impact on her ways of showing the reality,

She has spent few years in London and now she is based in Barcelona, working for a radio.

Photography is one of her hobbies and it’s one of the ways that she uses to express her artistic personality in total.

Her shots are amazing, colours and passion are mixed together leaving an artistic image on any picture.

Her pictures are not just images impressed on jpg but are the content of emotion and are always giving something more to the viewer.

At the moment it’s a “knobby” for her (knowledge + Hobby) but all the surkld’s team is willing to see her become a professional using her amazing knowledge!

Monica Silva and “l’io dentro di me”

Monica Silva is a Brazilian artist based in Europe.

Monica went to England in 1986 and after having spent 2 years in London she moved to Italy.

She has been for eight years assistant director for national and international advertising production but then, in 2001, she needed to do something more, she felt the need to properly express her self and to show her knowledge!

She started working in professional photography industry and after a while she became a member of “Nikon Pro Photographer” expanding her skills and knowledge.

The thirst of sharing and communicate got bigger and bigger and then she decided to move to the world of art photography.

She did a big step for her career and personal life and actually she finally got the freedom to express herself that she was looking for.

The latest production of Monica is called “l’io dentro di me”, an incredible art exhibition, what makes it unique is the completely new approach to the photography, both photographer and model are giving to the viewer something more.. both of them show a deep part of themselves through the pictures .

What it’s really uncommon is the concept behind the entire “formula”, for ones, normal and famous people have the possibility to show their intrinsic soul and to escape from the “standard way of living” made by the need to show off something that is not ours.

For ones we can express ourselves without being judged.

The exhibition is currently running at “Palazzo Pichi Sforza” Sale Kemon, Via XX Settembre, 134, Sansepolcro (AR) and it will end the 12nd of July.

Thanks to Monica Silva we have the possibility to show you some of the picture she realized in her work called "L'io dentro di me".

Stefano Ottomano: a brilliant inspiration



Stefano Ottomano is a young Italian composer born in Bari. He is a musician and a lecturer in several music schools in the south of Italy.

Stefano has been always attracted by music and thanks to his bachelor degree and multiple master courses he attended with lecturers like: Leigh H. Stevens, Mark Ford, Ruud Wiener, Tim Adams, Emil Richards, etc.. he is now a complete musician with an amazing creativity.

Mr Ottomano is not a common musician, he is also an author widely recognised; especially for the textbook: “Nuovo metodo di avviamento alla batteria per bambini”. He also is the composer of multiple movie soundtracks, and can show on his credit to have done the soundtrack of “non te ne andare” by Alessandro Porzio.

But what makes Mr. Ottomano unique is his capacity to try new ways of composing and play music.

Thanks to his Italian flair giving him the excellence and genius, he developed the “poker for 50 Harps”, a completely new way of playing the Harp in the orchestra.

This new approach is a world premier; it has been developed according to a proper poker game! The Harps are disposed in a different position than normal and the harmonious development of the metrics play a game of poker.

The last Ep released by Mr Ottomano is called “come trascinate dal vento” and is already having huge success.
Mr Ottomano is usually compared with famous musicians like: Philip Glass, Win Mertens and Ludovico Einaudi. Do you know why?

Check this out and you will understand!

Bruno "ADAILYSONG" Bavota, a talented musician





Bruno Bavota is an Italian man with a passion for music.

Since the early stage of his life, he was attracted to music. He learned on his own how to play guitar and since 2007 he is cooperating with Miss Alessia Viti on composing music samples with guitar, violin and piano acoustics.

Some of the tracks contained in "Between pain, love and hope" (the first Ep made in cooperation with Miss Viti) have been chosen for commercial spots and films.

For example Mr Bavota did the soundtrack of the commercial spot for "Opportunity Job":


The real capability of Mr Bavota is to play piano. He discovered his talent only in 2010 but after having taken lesson with Miss Di Natale he developed his knowledge pretty easily.

"Lo specchio dell'anima" is the first Ep played by piano by Mr Bavota and is already a success!
In 2007, Mr Bavota and Mr De Rosa won the first prise at "Eccellenza Napoletana".

The last Ep released by Mr Bavota is "il Pozzo d'amore". It is an authentic piece of emotions put together and deeply touches the listener from the start in a way that just the "already famous ones" can do.
It is something not expected, something that leaves the listener amazed.

this is the track N°8 "Respiro":



Yes, knowledge is everything and Bruno Bavota is a perfect example of how music is one of the best explanation of what a talented musician can do.

“Planking", the new trend on social networks!!



A new trend has appeared on social networks lately and Surkld wanted to share this story with you as we had a good laugh hearing it.

This new wave, called “planking” consists of lying down on the stomach in unusual and sometime dangerous places. Someone has then to take a picture and post it online on social networks’ accounts.

Watch this great compilation:



From our point of view, it sounds quite fun and seems to be harmless but apparently not to everyone.

Michael Brannon, 20 years old Australian, got arrested by the police while he was performing his “planking” on one police car.

Yesterday, the police of the State of Queens land in Australia arrested him and decided to pursue him for “being on police equipment without any prior authorization”.

Michael Brannon, on his side, wrote on Facebook “quite frankly, I think it is absolutely ridiculous for them to arrest me. We were just having harmless fun and they waste both my time and theirs instead of running after criminals”.

In Australia, “planking” Facebook page counts around 10,000 fans and displays hundreds of pictures of people lying down on rails, escalators, fire hydrants and other unusual places.

This is why Australian police decided to monitor closely planking activities.

Matthew Russell, from the police of Gladstone, declared that” planking can be dangerous and its followers take the risk of exposing themselves to further legal proceedings”. He explains it by the fact that “people are putting themselves in danger by always trying to do more than their neighbour”.

Whether you find it stupid or not, we have to admit that some people really have a limitless imagination.
