I approach my work as being open to interpretation. When I am working on a painting would never think about meaning. I will always leave the meaning to the viewer. There is always a push and pull with the canvas. I only do what it tells me to do.
All in Painting

Nature and human emotions are my inspirations resulting in in a combination of abstraction and dynamic forms. I like to work in variety of materials and techniques.
Interview with Robert Haworth (aka The Butterflyman)
We’re all unique. My particular uniqueness lies in the journey I’ve made – from being a damaged “caterpillar”, to undergoing an extraordinary and alarming transformation as a “chrysalis”, and eventually becoming a “butterfly” in the sunshine: finding my freedom as a person and as an artist.

Interview with Eric Hubbes
Eric Hubbes is an artist whose work bridges the realms of science, philosophy, and aesthetics. Based in Bonn, his atelier serves as a creative hub where he works on canvas and paper, utilizing a wide range of materials and techniques—including acrylic, watercolour, marker, charcoal, texture paste, and collage. His creative journey explores universal themes such as transformation, interconnectedness, and the cyclical nature of existence. By integrating elements of quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and surrealism into his art, he creates visually compelling works that challenge conventional perceptions of reality.
Interview with Irina Metz
I often think of my paintings as visual poetry. Just as poetry distills emotion and meaning through rhythm, structure, and metaphor, I try to evoke similar layers of resonance through color, texture, and composition. There’s an economy of language in poetry that I find parallels the expressive choices I make in painting—how a single brushstroke or shift in tone can capture a complex emotional state.
Interview with Steve Rogers
I have always loved the texture and paint strokes of oil. I love the three di-mensional feel of it and I try to achieve that with heavy impasto brush strokes. One of my approaches is to use underpainting and glazing to achieve brilliance. It can be done in oil, but it is time consuming. Acrylics dry within minutes and allow you to almost immediately glaze over the underpainting. I use almost every paint tool designed to build up layers , lay in fine lines and blend soft boundaries in skies. Acrylics allow endless layers of paint as the image is built up and I think it results in depth and complexity
Interview with Jon Neal Wallace
When I start a painting, I have a blank canvas. I don't sketch the design out; I freeform it with spontaneity. In my mind, I know how the design is going to be, but I approach it like a jazz musician—I freeform it.
Artist Spotlight - Dr Natalia Jezova
Dr Natalia Jezova is awards wining, multidisciplinary artist based in London. She communicates through a wide variety of media, including painting, film, photography and installation. Her art addresses cultural memory, identity and gender issues.
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 - Inbal Kristin
My work uniquely blends photography, painting, and digital editing, effectively dissolving the boundaries between these mediums. This fusion prompts viewers to engage deeply, often leaving them questioning the techniques and processes employed. My creative journey is driven by a desire to stimulate both the mind and emotions of her audience.
Interview with Michal Avrech
From an early age, I was drawn to museums, and my love for Impressionism took shape during those formative years. The play of light, the balance between abstraction and realistic touches—these elements captivated me and left a lasting impression that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Artist Spotlight - Ivana Gagić Kičinbači
An intuitive search for knowledge and an intuitive experience of reality are at the heart of my work. I explore the interference and coherence of soul and body, spiritual and material, space and time, and the struggle for inner freedom in the contemporary realm. I believe that art can lead to the sublime and open the mind, eyes, and heart to that which is beyond.
Artist Spotlight - Naoko Morisawa
When seen from a distance, my artwork looks like a painting. The details of the work and mosaic technique slowly emerge when viewer comes closer. Mysterious creatures, people, illusions, waves, a cloud, a wave, and waterfalls, traditional pattern, etc. are recurring themes in my work.
Artist Spotlight - Emanuele Gatto
Painting is for me a performative act in which the canvas itself becomes the extension of the body. I intend to use colours, lines and shape in a way that is not pre-defined but open to the unexpected. In my art and painting, I create a space for liberation.
