In Rivismo, the threshold at which lived experience becomes a pictorial gesture does not appear to be a blurred or accidental boundary, but rather a deliberately explored space where awareness is heightened.
All in Contemporary Art
Artist Spotlight - Britta Ortiz
I was born in 1959 in Denmark. While I was in high school, I took a preparatory course for the art academy, because art was already a big part of my life at that time.
Artist Spotlight - Thia Path
Thia Path, born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and active in Piacenza (Italy), is an artist who has transformed color into an identity-driven language and a distinctive expressive force.
Interview with Sara McKenzie
My painting is less an act of depiction than one of discovery — an inquiry shaped by a life lived between scientific research and visual art.
Artist Spotlight - Jeong-Ah Zhang
I am interested in the philosophy of immanence and transcendence on all beings, And this means that I try to focus on the essence of life by establishing core values, and at the same time, sublimate it into my works.
Artist Spotlight - Eliora Bousquet
To capture this elusive essence, I chose acrylic paint on canvas, a medium that allows for almost instant responsiveness and endless variation in textures.
Interview with Craig Robb
Part of my artistic practice involves the tradition of using multiples to form or create art. Where I combine several of the same item to make a cohesive piece.
Artist Spotlight - Aristi Hadjisavva
At the age of 28 I started creating art as an internal necessity and a way to communicate my worries for the world and express my psychosynthesis at the time of creation.
Interview with Lynne Douglas
Lynne Douglas is a Scottish-based photographic artist working from the Isle of Skye and the outer Hebrides, internationally recognised for her atmospheric photography and large-format seascapes.
Interview with Harry Salmi
At the core of my work is a deep sense of feeling, big dreams, and bold expression shaped by the northern landscape and lived life. For me, this hybridity is not primarily a visual strategy but a way of thinking and being in the world. It reflects the tension in which we live.
Interview with Kat Kleinman
At heart, both my therapy and collage work emerge from the same impulse, a passion for uplifting the human experience. That impulse has evolved from providing a listening space, to my collages now offering a visual space for reflection. The aesthetic form, my collage, holds space for others’ emotions, as I once held space in therapy.
Interview with Jaehee Yoo
For me, drawing a line is akin to breath meditation. The process of reaching inner stillness closely parallels my creative practice. The tension and shifting emotions generated by short and long breaths condense into images—unspoken states of sorrow, solitude, or even joy. Rather than constructing form through line, I seek to record the places where thought and emotion briefly came to rest.
Artist Spotlight - Nigel Ryan
Nigel Ryan is a London based photographic artist whose work explores atmosphere, time, and the experience of place. Working primarily with in camera techniques, including multi exposure and long exposure, he creates images that sit between documentation and abstraction.
Artist Spotlight - Nándor Bozsóki
I am a Hungarian painter dedicated to creating unique, personalized artworks that transform spaces and evoke deep emotions. My artistic journey began with decorative wall painting, which gradually led me to the canvas, where I found my true passion. Each painting I create is not just a visual piece but a deeply personal expression—an artwork that tells a story, recalls memories, and becomes a meaningful part of its owner’s life.
Interview with Harry T. Burleigh
When I allow initial paint strokes to show themselves until an idea emerges, it's not an oscillation between intention and recognition. It's just a starting framework for a painting.
Artist Spotlight - Giancarlo (Lachi Lea) De Luca
Giancarlo De Luca, aka Lachi Lea, was born in Paola (Cs) in 1961. A painter and sculptor, he approached art at a Young age thanks to the presence of his father, also An artist. Endowed with An unprecedented sensitivity, Lachi Lea has developed a reflective language over time.
Artist Spotlight - Terry Hulsing
My current body of work explores the themes of capturing motion and the delicate balance between control and chaos within abstract expressionism. I primarily work in fluid acrylics, employing vibrant color saturation and the inherent unpredictability of the medium to translate fleeting moments of movement into a tangible visual experience.
Majo Portilla
Majo Portilla’s place in contemporary art history will likely be defined not solely by her stylistic synthesis, nor by her international acclaim, but by her unwavering commitment to connection. In her hands, the canvas is not a boundary. It is a bridge. Through layered pigment and faceless forms, she charts the emotional topography of a world in search of belonging.
Interview with Monica Norum
Monica Norum is a contemporary painter whose work explores painting as a site of presence, connection, and emotional resonance. Moving fluidly between abstraction and figuration, her paintings emerge through layered processes of intuition, revision, and material dialogue. Rather than illustrating fixed narratives, Norum creates open visual spaces where memory, vulnerability, and shared human experience can unfold. Her practice positions painting as both a perceptual and ethical act—one that invites slow looking, embodied attention, and relational engagement across cultural contexts.
Artist Spotlight - Bernadette Sterk
“All of my paintings are ‘Created to Create Myself’, to give myself insight knowledge, courage and power. They represent my inner world of struggles and turmoil to ravel out the influence of the outer world, which I believed was true, but only covered up my true self.
