My training in color theory plays a vital role in this dynamic process. The principles of color relationships, contrast, and harmony are ingrained in me, acting as an internal compass that guides my instincts when making quick decisions on the canvas. For example, when faced with the urge to apply vibrant, clashing colors in the heat of creation, I instinctively recall the impact of complementary colors and how they can heighten emotional responses. This knowledge allows me to make choices that feel both spontaneous and harmonious.

Entering Vinci Weng’s recent work feels less like arriving at an image than like stepping into a constructed situation that is already underway. The first sensation is not simply visual plenitude, though plenitude is everywhere, but a peculiar certainty that what one is seeing has been staged into existence with the deliberation of cinema and the density of painting. Weng’s pictures do not present themselves as windows, nor as documents, nor as the familiar persuasion of photographic immediacy. They behave instead as tableaux with rules, as fictional worlds whose internal physics are established through scale, depth, and chromatic climate.

In her 2026 fine art series, Karine transcends the traditional boundaries of design, merging twenty years of high-jewelry expertise with the infinite possibilities of artificial intelligence. By reimagining the human form as a luminescent translucent vessel—where moss breathes through glass skin and internal storms are harnessed within one's soul—she has pioneered a new genre: Digital Haute Couture.

Art Review, Contemporary Art, Painting

To encounter Côté’s dimensional paintings is to feel how the artwork refuses the quickness of contemporary image culture without resorting to nostalgia. The rigor of her hard-edged forms, the disciplined clarity of her color, and the insistence of her constructed extensions make a persuasive case for abstraction as a civic language, one capable of training new habits of seeing. Her contribution to the contemporary field lies precisely here: she restores to geometry its capacity for lived experience, and to painting its ability to be a site of encounter rather than a mere surface of display. In that restoration, the work offers something rare: a renewed confidence that looking can still be transformative.

I create art as a means to understand and interpret the world around me. From a young age, I found solace in the interplay of colors, textures, and shapes—elements that could convey stories beyond the capacity of words. My artistic process is deeply intuitive, involving a continuous cycle of layering, erasing, and rebuilding. This approach reflects the way each of us navigates our own evolving identities. Through my work, I hope to evoke moments of recognition and connection, fostering a sense of shared experience with others.

I am a Hungarian painter dedicated to creating unique, personalized artworks that transform spaces and evoke deep emotions. My artistic journey began with decorative wall painting, which gradually led me to the canvas, where I found my true passion. Each painting I create is not just a visual piece but a deeply personal expression—an artwork that tells a story, recalls memories, and becomes a meaningful part of its owner’s life.

Everything starts randomly, like a sort of throw of the dice: placing geometric shapes on the stretched canvas or paper based on the principle of composition. Each shape carries within it the design of the six or seven others that compose it: lines and forms emerge from this intersection, which itself generates many more to come. Gestures, color fields, and lines, whether white, black, or colored, attach in turn to these generative forms in the unpredictability of a “free association” process.

For me, making marks is the initial objective. Finding images that speak to me in an intuitive and expressive manner remains the goal each time I work. I think of myself as a painter first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing. After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.

Regarding “existence” and “mind,” I hold a singular philosophy within my own worldview, one that rejects all preconceived notions. At the foundation of my creative practice lies the eternal resonance of painting, shaped through a spiritual dialogue inherent in “existence” itself. I perceive the complex dynamic and static patterns that permeate nature as manifestations of space and time, and I intuitively sense and render the soul and emotions dwelling within the subject.

The purpose of my work is to transmit cosmic knowledge through color and visual beauty. Cosmic knowledge sought me to carry out this creative work. I have only let myself go. The evolution of technology is intimately related to my creative process. And technology is connected to cosmic beings. So there is a transmission of cosmic beings to the viewers of my photographic work. In reality, it is my duty as an artist to generate this transmission of data and emotions. And thus evolve.

Andrej Babenko is a contemporary Belgian visual artist of Ukrainian descent whose influence extends beyond traditional gallery spaces into the digital and public sphere. He operates as a contemporary art influencer by combining expressive visual art with an active presence on social media platforms, where he shares his work, ideas and performances with an international audience. Babenko’s artistic language is instantly recognisable. He blends classical oil painting techniques with elements of punk, graffiti, street art, and Ukrainian folklore, creating monumental, emotionally charged works often described as a “volcano of emotion.” His themes address societal hypocrisy, alienation, existential struggle, and hope, making his work deeply relatable in the context of contemporary global challenges.

One image – one mission. What does my image have to do with Francis of Assisi (Francis of Assisi is considered the patron saint of animals, the environment, and ecology. In the prayer “Canticle of the Sun,” which the saint wrote in the 13th century, he described animals as brothers and sisters of humans and expressed gratitude to nature, its phenomena, and wonders.) with my picture or series of pictures? 800 years! On the 800th (this year-2026) anniversary of his death, my picture was chosen as the cover for a book entitled “Animal Worlds of Art.”
