All in Painting

Jane Dugan (Janie)

Janie Dugan stands as a visual philosopher, a contemporary seer whose works offer both an elegy and an invocation. Much like the medieval illuminators, the Surrealists, and the Abstract Expressionists before her, she understands that the artist’s role is not merely to depict but to reveal. In her inked forms, in her layered compositions, one finds echoes of something ancient, something future, and something entirely now.

Ivana Gagić Kicinbači

The work of Ivana Gagić Kicinbači stands at the precipice where materiality and transcendence converge. This Croatian artist, who navigates the liminal space between drawing, visual poetry, and digital printmaking, produces a body of work that does not merely invite observation but rather demands contemplation. The essence of her artistry is deeply rooted in the metaphysical, resonating with a pursuit of inner freedom, an engagement with temporality, and the revelation of the sublime through matter.

Henrique Diogo

Henrique Diogo, a self-taught contemporary artist from Poços de Caldas, Brazil, is a striking figure in the modern art world. At just 24 years old, his work already exudes the maturity and depth of a seasoned master, demonstrating an extraordinary ability to merge theoretical knowledge with artistic intuition. His career, deeply rooted in philosophical and mathematical exploration, transcends mere aesthetics to offer a synthesis of human thought through abstract art.

Nada Kelemenova

Nada Kelemenova’s contribution to contemporary art is invaluable. In a world increasingly detached from the organic and the metaphysical, her paintings serve as portals to introspection and reconnection. She stands at the intersection of tradition and experimentation, merging classical techniques with modern structural approaches. Her use of nature as both subject and muse reminds us of our fundamental ties to the universe, while her abstractions challenge the way we perceive reality itself.

Artist Spotlight - Josephine Palmer-Gabe

Art is so good for the soul. I live and breath art and try to create how I feel. I want people to feel joy and excitement when I show my art. I like a narrative, it has many meanings for the viewer to contemplate within the story. Colour to me is so important to bring the artwork to life. I love all mediums different subjects need different mediums. I enjoy using GoldLeaf to make my art pop.There is never enough time in my life to create everything I want to portray.

Artist Spotlight - Alejandro Funes

Alex Funes Lovis is a contemporary Mexican artist whose work transcends aesthetics to become a channel for healing, consciousness, and transformation. With over 25 years of experience, he has developed a unique style that merges sacred geometry, numerology, color theory, and mystical symbolism. His art not only beautifies spaces but also harmonizes them energetically, acting as vibrational portals that impact those who encounter them.

Interview with Ivan Suvanjieff

My painting is indeed spontaneous. I never start with a sketch. I start to paint on a blank white canvas, primed with several layers of white gesso. And then shape, form, and movement starts to emerge. I am so focused that I don't notice the noise of life passing by on the village street that runs next to my studio. What I am trying to capture is the mood or energy that I find in myself at that moment.

Artist Spotlight - Petraq Pecani

Through his brush the artist highlights beautifully the unique nature of Albanian scenery. Light in his tableaux pours in from invisible sources and spreads following a special code where colour takes priority. Under Pecani’s brush colour sticks solidly into canvas, at times giving the impression of the bas-relief or a structure in motion
