I find inspiration everywhere. In recent years, however, I have been working with space research and science fiction. But nature, micro/macro also still has a big place in my world.
Artist Spotlight - Jenny Bennett
After several years of exploring various themes, mainly landscapes, it was exciting to begin a new series of exploring flora, involving new colours and abstraction. The recent Paisley series with its flowing organic imagery developed naturally from the floral series and the latest “Hot Flotsam”, a large work reflects an increasing emphasis on abstraction and an acknowledgement of global warming and pollution.
Artist Spotight - Vitaliy & Elena Vasilieva
Creativity is the desire to express ourselves. To formulate these expressions, we have to draw from our reservoir of experience, dreams, desires and experimentation and mix together what was, what is, and what could be… I don’t think you can learn it, it is rather something that evolves. Your perception of everything in your life fills up this reservoir.
Artist Spotlight - Benjamin Ferry
My specificity as a sculptor lies in my main tool: the manual plasma cutter. Well-known in the industrial world, it is much rarer in the artistic realm. With it, I cut through thick steel plates, transforming fragments of this heavy material into delicate lace.

Interview with Sinclair Webster
Making a picture for me is not about trying to construct a pleasing image but about trying to communicate the emotional I felt when I encountered what I have sometimes called charismatic moments, when I see people or animals or a landscape that feels charged. Memory is a necessary way to recover that, a filter to remove anything that is superfluous to expressing that emotion.

Artist Spotlight - Ira Hoffecker
I am interested in the amalgamation of abstraction and representation of plant inspired subjects within imagined habitats as liminal spaces. My paintings extend organic shapes within abstracted spaces and imagined landscapes that play with depth, lines, and layers. Organic material analysis and interpretation became part of my exploration process.

The work also expresses the direct sensation of lived experience through organic shapes and forms woven from flowing lines and the gaze of the viewer.
Artist Spotlight - Alexandra Jicol
Through my work, I have tried to create complete pictorial independence. After years of intense work, I strive to capture in my work my physical, carnal relationship with colors, forms and textures. A constant subject of interest returns to me like an obsession: the human condition and how to define the states of mind and attitudes through colors and simple forms.
Artist Spotlight - Mara Montagna
Currently my curiosity leads me to seek new paths and, in particular, I use a mixed technique of acrylic and collage with which I manage to create intense images with a rich variety of textures. I'm interested in the combinations I can obtain with the different designs and textures that fabrics mixed with acrylic colors and rhinestones offer me.
Artist Spotlight - Yi Zhu
“I express my subjective feelings and attitudes toward life on canvas, while sensing the inspection of my works from lives outside of the canvas.

Through my works, I explore the complex feelings and desires behind life, which are infusing my works with deeper dimensions and touches.”
