All in Contemporary Art
Through vibrant tones, layered surfaces, and the fluid dialogue between water and pigment I explore the reality of matter and “what lies beyond its veil”. Reality, to me, is a stratified space. I’m drawn to the most subtle, distant layers — the ones that whisper rather than shout — My work is an attempt to open doors within consciousness, to find entry points into these hidden dimensions.

Born in Kunming, Yunnan, and trained in the classical material intelligence of ink, water, rice paper, and mineral pigments, she has taken the language of Chinese brush painting and submitted it to a radical re-reading through Dzogchen Buddhism and Yogācāra philosophy. The result of her ongoing project, named The Color of Surupa, is less a style than an epistemology. It proposes that abstract painting need not stop at the revolution of form; it can move, as Pu insists, toward an awakening of consciousness.
The art of Daniel McKinley unfolds within a paradox. It is at once confined and boundless, meticulously constructed yet open to infinite interpretation. In his oil paintings, walls and windows, stairs and corridors, cities and interiors coexist in an ambiguous geometry of mind and space. To enter McKinley’s world is to move through layers of perception, to navigate not only physical structures but the architecture of consciousness itself. His paintings, rigorous in composition and rich in atmosphere, engage the viewer in a dialogue between presence and absence, the seen and the imagined, the finite and the eternal.
Nira Chorev’s art stands as a testament to the possibility of coherence in a fragmented world. Her mixed media works are not assemblages of disparate parts but living systems of interrelation. Each line, color, and photograph contributes to a totality that is both formal and emotional. Through her lifelong dedication to balance and truth, she transforms personal memory into universal language. Her paintings do not shout; they sing, softly and insistently, of renewal, connection, and the beauty of attentive perception.
To encounter Hans van Wingerden’s art is to stand within a field of thought shaped by light. It is to realize that illumination is never neutral, that every act of seeing carries an ethical demand. Like Flavin’s glowing corridors, his works alter the architecture of perception. But where Flavin dissolved the object into pure sensation, van Wingerden reintroduces conscience into the equation. His light is not simply there to be seen; it is there to make us see ourselves.
Mary Di Iorio’s recent cycle, Cathedra, unfolds as a lucid meditation on material thought, clay thinking itself through motion, vibration, and the recursive time of the loop. What might once have been called a “medium” in the classical sense, ceramic, with its kiln-fixed ontology and its history of use, appears here not as a stable category but as a field traversed by vectors: filmic duration, acoustic insistence, the hand’s labor, the screen’s glow. To watch these short moving images is to enter a regime in which form is not given but perpetually negotiated, where the ceramic object refuses its customary submission to gravity, utility, and silence, and instead insists on becoming, becoming animated, becoming audible, becoming an idea.
Teodosio is a Greek sculptor and shadow artist who creates unique works where the tangible and the intangible merge into one. In his hands, metal, steel, and bronze become forms shaped by light — the invisible made visible. In his art, he explores the boundary between imagination and reality, matter and spirit. When illuminated, his sculptures reveal hidden images — feminine silhouettes, mythological figures, and symbolic forms — where shadow becomes an extension of the sculpture itself.

She has received numerous international art prizes and awards that underline the quality of her self-taught art. Blume‘s paintings are a powerful testament to the transformative power of artworks inspired by an interest in personal growth and finding inner meaning.
I've an impassioned sense of the symbolic and metaphysical, and imbue my work with esoteric images. I may deploy different styles and techniques to suit the many translations one makes of life. My preferred medium is with oil glazes, and I try to integrate (at the risk of sounding pompous) the multiple holons of our metacognitive realizations. My paintings are intended to elicit curious questions, rather than to provide explicit answers.
I enjoy abstract artwork that allows me to express myself though spontaneity, yet with some structure and poise. My creative process stems from what inspires me. I love adding texture, mediums, in an array of vivid colors together that add depth to each piece, with a bit of open interpretation. Pulling from a variety of influences like, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern expressions, some envisioned as abstract city scapes, or vocal waveforms.
"As a self-taught artist, I have always drawn intermittently since my childhood. It took me a long time and deep introspection to be able to express my emotions on paper and canvas. At 40 years old, just like we learn to draw letters in school to make words, I wanted to acquire the basic skills I lacked.
