Artist Spotlight - Neo Rauch
Neo Rauch's paintings are characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, human figures engaged in manual labor or indeterminable tasks work against backdrops of mundane architecture, industrial settings, or bizarre and often barren landscapes.
Rebeccah Klodt
Rebeccah Klodt stands as a beacon in today’s artistic landscape. Her work is not just relevant; it is necessary. It reminds us that art, at its best, does not tell us what to think or feel. It gives us the space to remember that we already know. In every brushstroke, every textured fold of canvas, and every mirrored glint, Klodt leaves us not with conclusions, but with the courage to keep asking beautiful questions.
Jeong-Ah Zhang
In the fluid, ever-redefining world of contemporary visual art, few voices carry both the weight of philosophy and the poetry of form quite like Jeong-Ah Zhang. Born, raised, and based in Seoul, South Korea, she emerges not just as a painter, but as a profound existentialist who uses canvas, color, and symbol as portals to metaphysical dialogue. Her work defies the binary of image and meaning, instead functioning as a continual meditation on what it means to see, to feel, to exist.
Sandy Iseli
To view Sandy Iseli’s paintings is to be momentarily transported. One hears the wind in the grass, feels the warmth of sun on the skin, and remembers that beneath our concrete world lies an older, softer, more vibrant earth. Her mastery of color, emotional intelligence, and unwavering vision mark her as one of the most soulful painters working today. In a world desperate for peace, Iseli does not just offer an escape. She offers a return.
Artist Spotlight - Judith Dupree Beale
I think of myself as a painter or 2D artist first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing or printing when I can physically handle the materials.
After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.
Artist Spotlight - Susanne Kühn
Susanne Kühn represents the next generation of artists from Germany with reemerging interests in figurative narrative abstraction.

Kühn’s work offers painterly and formal connections between figures, landscape, and architecture through a vocabulary that is emblazed with gorgeous light and informed by German art and history.
Artist Spotlight - Hédia Carron
My way in art is to share my love, my joy of life, and the authenticity of being "human".

You have all the resources inside you to make it happen.

Interview with Eveline Göldi
Can you tell us when you decided to pursue a career as an artist?
I had the enthusiasm for art since I was a child, but when I started painting with acrylics in the mid-90s, I grew the desire to put my messages into pictures and make happy faces. When I was able to sell the first paintings, I wanted to refine my technique and so the next steps came naturally.

Interview with Mieshiel Murray
I sometimes refer to my artwork and my life as a whole as walking ‘Between Worlds’ I draw and paint what some people can not see in this 3D reality; the dreams, visions and imagination of realities and dimensions beyond this one. The Light Codes are universal symbols, lines and patterns that resonate positive frequencies with the viewer on a cellular level and are directly transmitted in the presence of the painting

Interview with Gino Dalle Luche
I consider my work a meeting point between emotion and reality. In certain moments, dreams and imagination come into play, helping me seek balance between my inner world and the world around me. At the same time, I believe the canvas becomes a kind of story, where the viewer is free to listen and perceive their own feelings and emotions.
