Interview with Eric Hubbes

Eric Hubbes is an artist whose work bridges the realms of science, philosophy, and aesthetics. Based in Bonn, his atelier serves as a creative hub where he works on canvas and paper, utilizing a wide range of materials and techniques—including acrylic, watercolour, marker, charcoal, texture paste, and collage. His creative journey explores universal themes such as transformation, interconnectedness, and the cyclical nature of existence. By integrating elements of quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and surrealism into his art, he creates visually compelling works that challenge conventional perceptions of reality.

Interview with Irina Metz

I often think of my paintings as visual poetry. Just as poetry distills emotion and meaning through rhythm, structure, and metaphor, I try to evoke similar layers of resonance through color, texture, and composition. There’s an economy of language in poetry that I find parallels the expressive choices I make in painting—how a single brushstroke or shift in tone can capture a complex emotional state.

Interview with Steve Rogers

I have always loved the texture and paint strokes of oil. I love the three di-mensional feel of it and I try to achieve that with heavy impasto brush strokes. One of my approaches is to use underpainting and glazing to achieve brilliance. It can be done in oil, but it is time consuming. Acrylics dry within minutes and allow you to almost immediately glaze over the underpainting. I use almost every paint tool designed to build up layers , lay in fine lines and blend soft boundaries in skies. Acrylics allow endless layers of paint as the image is built up and I think it results in depth and complexity

Jane Dugan (Janie)

Janie Dugan stands as a visual philosopher, a contemporary seer whose works offer both an elegy and an invocation. Much like the medieval illuminators, the Surrealists, and the Abstract Expressionists before her, she understands that the artist’s role is not merely to depict but to reveal. In her inked forms, in her layered compositions, one finds echoes of something ancient, something future, and something entirely now.

Ivana Gagić Kicinbači

The work of Ivana Gagić Kicinbači stands at the precipice where materiality and transcendence converge. This Croatian artist, who navigates the liminal space between drawing, visual poetry, and digital printmaking, produces a body of work that does not merely invite observation but rather demands contemplation. The essence of her artistry is deeply rooted in the metaphysical, resonating with a pursuit of inner freedom, an engagement with temporality, and the revelation of the sublime through matter.

Henrique Diogo

Henrique Diogo, a self-taught contemporary artist from Poços de Caldas, Brazil, is a striking figure in the modern art world. At just 24 years old, his work already exudes the maturity and depth of a seasoned master, demonstrating an extraordinary ability to merge theoretical knowledge with artistic intuition. His career, deeply rooted in philosophical and mathematical exploration, transcends mere aesthetics to offer a synthesis of human thought through abstract art.

Nada Kelemenova

Nada Kelemenova’s contribution to contemporary art is invaluable. In a world increasingly detached from the organic and the metaphysical, her paintings serve as portals to introspection and reconnection. She stands at the intersection of tradition and experimentation, merging classical techniques with modern structural approaches. Her use of nature as both subject and muse reminds us of our fundamental ties to the universe, while her abstractions challenge the way we perceive reality itself.

Artist Spotlight - Josephine Palmer-Gabe

Art is so good for the soul. I live and breath art and try to create how I feel. I want people to feel joy and excitement when I show my art. I like a narrative, it has many meanings for the viewer to contemplate within the story. Colour to me is so important to bring the artwork to life. I love all mediums different subjects need different mediums. I enjoy using GoldLeaf to make my art pop.There is never enough time in my life to create everything I want to portray.
