Interview with Gro Heining
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I would like to call myself a colorist and a transformational painter.
Nature is my primary source of inspiration. Painting for me is a meditative state of being, where I connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into my artwork. My intention as an artist is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within myself. My hope is to inspire the viewer.
Interview with Gloria Keh
We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?
Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

Interview with Marie Marchandise
I am Marie Marchandise, a 27 years old photographer and art director living in Toulouse, southern.
France. When I was a child, I wanted to be a poet. Growing up, I was obsessed with being helpful: I wanted to be a vet, a psychologist, and a lawyer. I guess with photography,
I combine the inherent desire for my first dream job as a child, and my inner need and enthusiasm
developed from my teenage years to adulthood.
I love exploring new artistic techniques sometimes that I invent myself, as I
feel that I’m letting my inner child out by doing so, and I hope that what I create allows people to escape,
only for a few minutes. I have been published several times in international magazines, and it is an
honour to know that my work has been seen by many persons from all over the world.
If you feel something when looking at my photographs, it means that my job is done; if you are
inspired, motivated, and looking for something new thanks to them; it’s more than I could ever dream of.

Interview with France Malo
France Malo creates exuberant figurative compositions with an abstract approach to the form that culminates in truly innovative contemporary artworks..." Amsterdam Whitney International Fine Arts, NY USA
"The lines drawn by France Malo cannot be placed in any Cartesian axis. The artist elaborates a signic and chromatic geometry. New visual architectures make their appearance and fascinate the look of the observer, which cannot do anything but look with admiration to the painting of this great interpreter of the contemporary art."
