Artist Spotlight - Karin Sternberg

I love mixing colours and their radiance. I am fascinated by the world of colours, shapes and art, as there is always something new and interesting to discover. Perceiving, reflecting on and visualising coincidences, moments, events, dreams, ideas, themes, feelings and desires. Expressing this artistically in abstract or figurative form is my artistic motivation.

Artist Spotlight - Jaime Kafati

I am Jaime Eduardo Kafati. I’ve been painting since I arrived in the United States in 1978, but it wasn't until 2018, when I retired from my day job, that I was able to devote to my studio to my art on a full-time basis. Between intermittent commissioned works, I engaged in continued figurative studies, attending local life-drawing sessions, exploring new mediums, and creating allegorical paintings that allowed me to express my contemplations of the world.

Alisa Chernova

Alisa Chernova enters the contemporary art scene not as a painter alone but as a psychotherapist turned artist, who has transformed the consulting room into the canvas. Few artists embody with such clarity the conviction that painting may serve as a visual laboratory for human subjectivity, where the fragmentary self can be staged, tested, and reconstituted. Her background as a Gestalt therapist infuses every brushstroke with the weight of psychological encounter: each canvas is not a representation but a session, not a depiction but a dialogue.
