Painting is for me a link between the real world and the transcendent. Apart from artistic values, art should contain a mystery. In each painting, one can read the emotional load that was conveyed to him in the creative act.
All in Painting
Artist Spotlight - Nancy Anne Woolf-Pettyjohn
I am inspired by my parents and the Old Masters. My art evokes many emotions from others which is always exciting to hear. My goal as a world master artist and illustrator is to be my best with the talent God has given me. In sharing my art with others I want to create art that is enjoyable to look at but also to offer quality investments for art connoisseurs.
Artist Spotlight - R. Geoffrey Blackburn
R. Geoffrey Blackburn (born 1947) is an American fine artist, inventor, and polymath known for his realistic oil paintings of Western landscapes, particularly the red rock desert vistas of Utah, as well as for inventing a user-interactive art form called "Multi-Dimensionalism," for which he received a U.S. patent in 1990
Artist Spotlight - Norma Picciotto
My visual research stems from the intersection between reality and vision, between historical memory and poetic imagination. After many years working as a photojournalist, I chose to turn photography into a tool for inner reflection and symbolic narration. Each image is born from a layering of elements – documentary shots, urban fragments, traces of human presence – which I rework to create a dreamlike dimension where matter meets the invisible.
Interview with Liao WanNing
As a visual artist, my works are not intended for personal enjoyment alone but to explore complex issues of international politics, economics, war and peace, and state and international relations through the language of art. These works are not only part of the international political landscape but also an objective reflection of the current realities of people's lives.
Artist Spotlight - Patricia RAIN Gianneschi
In my work, my desire is to bring the viewer into a space where they become open to the forces of imagination and spirit. I believe Art can transform us. I believe art can take us to a new awareness, create new sensations, and form. For me, the act of painting is an act of spiritual practice. I enter the painting with body and mind, searching for the images as I wander through the canvas, pickup my guitar, play piano or sit down to write. I am a conjugated artist, working across poetics.
Artist Spotlight - Reinhardt Hollstein
Reinhardt Takeo Hollstein is a Seattle-based mixed-media artist renowned for pioneering the fusion of traditional painting with interactive technology. Born in Salina, Kansas, in 1961, he relocated to Seattle at a young age and developed a passion for art early on.
Artist Spotlight - Atom Hovhanesyan
The seemingly chaotic application of lines (cross hatches) is intentional, I'm trying to follow in line of the post divisionist paintings, creating a unified fabric of the plane, modeling with parallel hatch marks would go against this, and would make it more of a plastic approach, and would emphasize the distinction of background foreground. In short I'm trying to arrive at impressionistic use of ink as the medium with surreal or symbolic mindset.
Artist Spotlight - L. Scooter Morris
My goal is to make artwork that is so beautiful it cuts to the heart of what is true, to create art that is of this moment, but exists as something timeless. It resonates with the person viewing the work as real although it is not quite realistic. It has meaning, although that is not specifically stated because of its use of color or symbolism, or imagery.
Artist Spotlight - Marco Riha
After almost three decades of creating art instinctually, I realised my method has a long tradition called Surrealist Automatism. I had finally found a home in Art History. The simple act of putting myself aside and see what wants to be created, has led me on a long creative journey.
Artist Spotlight - Katerina Stavrou
Katerina Stavrou is a contemporary visual artist based in Larnaca, Cyprus. She began her academic journey in 2007, studying Visual Arts at the University of Salford, and later graduated with distinction in Fine Art (BA Hons) from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2011.
Artist Spotlight - Maria-Helena Marconell
My artistic practice spans prints, oil paintings, and sculptures—ranging from portraiture and life studies to relief and abstract works. It is driven by a continual investigation into how life’s experiences shape emotions and thoughts over time. In my prints, this is explored through abstract lines; in my paintings, through colour and texture.
Artist Spotlight - Katinka Lampe
Katinka Lampe paints portraits. Or at least, you can clearly recognise the representation of a person. Yet, this is not the main motive of the painting. The portrait merely serves as reason to make the painting. The portrait is the imagery concept. Her paintings greatly appeal to the beholders.
Artist Spotlight - Naomi Okubo
In her painterly practice, Naomi Okubo develops beautiful and seductive images that mask darker themes relating to her adolescence and that are connected to greater problems and inconsistencies in society.
Artist Spotlight - Anne Walbring
Anne is a Brazilian visual artist who studied Fine Arts at the University of Belas Artes de São Paulo. Her work is distinguished by a unique ability to capture emotions, blending restlessness and tenderness to create vibrant and expressive paintings. Since childhood, art has been a defining presence in her life, profoundly shaping her creative journey.
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 - Hédia Carron
My way in art is to share my love, my joy of life, and the authenticity of being "human". My artwork evolves to dig into the emotions and the feelings to vibrate the essence of what we are in full truth. I want to show, that it's never too late to realize your dreams and to be yourself. You have all the resources inside you to make it happen.
