      <image:caption>“When nothing is there, play something that isn't - or something as if it were nothing - were not - though necessarily it is - or at least is a residue of its own disappearance - a fading resonance proximate to silence - quieting that quiets - then quieter though never quietest - unfinished silencing - approaching the proximities of impossible but never there (like counting eternally toward infinity but always un- limited) though as if even that might also be possible - though not now, not here, not this. Not yet? If there's nothing to play, play nothing - play beautifully - play whatever you can when you can't. And then pause. As in love.”</image:caption>

And when I found it, it felt like a quiet revelation.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I hope to connect people. There is a lot of personal themes that are also universal, in times of pain many seek to recover alone, they need time and while no one will ever understand what they are going through. Many people have an understanding, for example a person’s parents passing is very personal - they are the person’s parents, but we all have an understanding of the pain of losing our parents. I can imagine the pain felt from the loss of a pet, even though I don’t have one.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Creating art has been a profound and lifelong passion. My art reflects a deeply personal connection with the subject matter, weaving together narratives that embody my unique sensitivity and playful creativity. My work aims to stir curiosity, evoke intimate connections, and invite viewers into a realm of personal exploration, perhaps even voyeurism. I deliberately blend traditional and experimental techniques, producing images that engages the senses and establishes an emotional dialogue with the audience. My goal is to create experiences that resonate deeply and leave lasting impressions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art explores the underlying connection between the real world spaces we experience, and the emotions that influence our response to those experiences.

Natural spaces and our opportunities to experience them are vanishing.”</image:caption>

It's always personal but it is also up for interpretation.”</image:caption>

The beads were passed on from generation to generation as a special talisman of good luck. ”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Nature belongs everywhere in society. People should have access to nature and its beauty at every turn. It’s so calming and soothing to the mind. If you could turn the corner and instead of seeing words and ads, you saw pictures of succulents, cacti, trees and sunsets, everybody would be happier. I try to imbue my artworks with that same spirit. I want my work to beautify people’s worlds.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Kusama’s Impact on Art - In the most visible place - in the center of the main hall – we could see Mark Rothko's "Number 207 - Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray". Interesting detail is that it purposely hanging upside down, and by this move the movie probably hints at Miles' artificial love for art. This painting epitomizes Rothko's work as a Color Field painter, emphasizing large areas of color applied in thin, flat layers. After working as a public-school teacher and mural painter, Rothko transitioned to a full-time artist later in life. Rothko’s works are highly sought after and have sold for prices reaching 80 million dollars. Mark Rothko, Number 207 (Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray), 1961</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Explaining Weird Mediaeval Art - In the most visible place - in the center of the main hall – we could see Mark Rothko's "Number 207 - Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray". Interesting detail is that it purposely hanging upside down, and by this move the movie probably hints at Miles' artificial love for art. This painting epitomizes Rothko's work as a Color Field painter, emphasizing large areas of color applied in thin, flat layers. After working as a public-school teacher and mural painter, Rothko transitioned to a full-time artist later in life. Rothko’s works are highly sought after and have sold for prices reaching 80 million dollars. Mark Rothko, Number 207 (Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray), 1961</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Famous art pieces featured in the Glass Onion movie - In the most visible place - in the center of the main hall – we could see Mark Rothko's "Number 207 - Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray". Interesting detail is that it purposely hanging upside down, and by this move the movie probably hints at Miles' artificial love for art. This painting epitomizes Rothko's work as a Color Field painter, emphasizing large areas of color applied in thin, flat layers. After working as a public-school teacher and mural painter, Rothko transitioned to a full-time artist later in life. Rothko’s works are highly sought after and have sold for prices reaching 80 million dollars. Mark Rothko, Number 207 (Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray), 1961</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “Asking ‘what was the artist feeling when she made this?’ is a far less interesting question than ‘what do I feel when I look at it?’ It’s very easy to find meaning in paintings that weren’t painted to convey a message, but just because the artist liked how it looked. As an artist, I don’t take myself too seriously, and I try to leave any interpretation to the viewer.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “In my Retro-Futurism series, I give a new life to my paintings by photographing them during the creative process, and then digitally recreating them by combining multiple artworks. This allows me to create a brand new artwork that re-imagines and reinterprets the original. I find it interesting that the digital remix takes on a life of its own, and can be more important than the original painting - its past self. But the remix owes everything to that original painting because without it, it could not exist.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“‘Aleksandra is in front of the canvas. She observes it in its size and emptiness. She begins to paint without a well-defined idea, guided by her own affinity and sensitivity, and always listening to her heart. Gradually, she completes her opera.’ This sequence is one of the most characteristic acts of the artist Aleksandra de Pan, whose passion for art and painting was evident from a very young age.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Everyone believes in magic in their own way. For some, it’s Santa Claus or fairies and wizards from a wonderland. Others believe in affirmation or that the universe will realize their wishes if they visualize them. My magic begins when I pick up a pencil. I get an incredible feeling that something amazing will happen, and sometimes even I’m surprised by the outcome.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Limey Limerez is built upon the goal of breaking down creative barriers, and providing audiences with more than just a pretty flashy design to awe viewers. It's also about crafting a narrative, and giving insight into the culture that the images are based on. Icons tell stories, and through my graphics, these icons come to life on clothes and paper.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Reveal the wound, unveil the printing on the body to break the silence. Thus, the fabric is no longer a mere sign-holder representing material objects, but rather a mirror image of the multifocal projections of the mind, the subconscious and its memories. Once the cut has been made, the skin is visibly reviled, violated, and used up, to the extent that there is nothing left to hide or to protect. The gag has fallen away and we are silent no more. Memory becomes a hodgepodge of filleted flesh, hanging from the final pieces of tissue that dangle in the void, propped up by its fragility.”</image:caption>

For my sculpt work, I have experimented with fiberglass bandages, resins, plaster, polyurethane foam, silicon, among others.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Art has always been around me, and I can’t imagine life without it. I breathe art like air. Currently, my colleague and I are developing a new project that stems from the Silent Temples background and includes the same location recordings. But this time, it’s going to be more performative and improvised in the moment. It is called the Living Temples. We’re utilizing social media a lot more this time, making live sessions on Facebook and YouTube where people can witness the creative process as it happens.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I tend to not plan my work very much. Once I create an artwork and look at it, to me it is very clear what the message is - and sometimes I am surprised myself. But others may find their own completely different meaning. I enjoy hearing what their own interpretations are; everyone has their own way of seeing. I believe that once we create a piece of art, it takes on it’s own independent personality and existence."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Passing Through the Circles. The journey of a soul, from birth to death and beyond. Passing Through the Circles is a metaphysical installation. Derived from the Greek ‘meta ta physika’ (after the things of nature), it refers to an idea or posited reality outside of human sense perception. In modern philosophical terminology, metaphysics refers to the studies of what cannot be reached through objective studies of material reality.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my opinion, an inception of a soul in a body passes through the circles of life from birth, to childhood, to young, to adult and finally, the old age.  This journey yields rich experiences at every phase of life. Good or bad, these experiences are the teachers of the soul. Each soul has its own purpose and destiny in life.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art is inspired by my love of many forms of music, from classical to electronica.  My geometric abstracts are like Bach’s music; formal and structured exercises in rigorous forms of rhythmic beauty. Some of my erotic art is like soul music, and my expressionist portraits and abstract works are akin to psychedelic rock-blues, or free expression jazz.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My art is how I come to recognize myself and grow—the expression of the inner man. My work does not preach, but may challenge conventional assumptions. If it has any underlying message, it’s that I’m on a journey of self-discovery, and wish to share this with others for their pleasure and interest. It is a journey which has yet to reach a destination, and most probably never will.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“One famous street photographer, Garry Winograd said: ‘I photograph things to see what they look like photographed.’  The best street photography is remarkable because it makes something ordinary seem suddenly extraordinary. This is one of the chief aims of my work.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Ero Seagull undoubtedly offers a sound that’s unique and easily recognizable. For the single, The Gospel, almost every building block brings individuality and unpredictability into the mix. The opening, industrial-style beat is spacious and intense—attention grabbing from the offset, and interesting for its apparent lack of genre and refusal to be confined. Following this, Seagull’s voice emerges into this ongoing outpouring of rap, lyricism, and conceptual story-telling.” Review by Stereo Stickman</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“From the great city of Athens in Greece, this Greek Canadian artist has shown us great tracks in the past. This time around, Ero Seagull gives us the result of her artistic evolution, and it’s cool. I love it when artists find their sound, and their sound is something new and something fresh. There is no doubt that Ero Seagull will be noticed with this track, The Gospel. I love it and find myself listening to it over and over again.” Review by Act One You can read the full review here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“There are no mistakes when creating art. There is no wrong way to create art. Wabi-sabi liberated me from the anxiety preventing me from making art that felt true to me. Making wabi-sabi art allows us to be more present in the process, allowing our tools to influence where the art goes. It emphasizes the process over the finished work of art. As Richard R. Powell says, ‘Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by recognising three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is completed, and nothing is perfect.’”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“As a designer who used a lot of black in each collection, there was not a hint of black in the Dallas Museum of Art show. We draped 600 yards of silk georgette down the stairway of the museum where the models entered. The tables were decorated in the same colors. I was so moved by the whole experience that when I took to the stage, my voice cracked and tears filled my eyes. How could this happen to a little girl from Newfoundland?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Gayle’s paintings encapsulate moments of beauty in a timeless fashion. They transcend any real place and time and send the viewer into a parallel reality. Her style is influenced equally by old masters and contemporary art and she masters them both. While naturalistic, it is subjective and captures the spirit of the subject imbued with a relatable melancholy.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This is the philosophy of my art classes: In the increasingly wound-up modern society, stress seems an invisible burden for everyone, so finding a way to comfort our souls has become inevitable. Art is everywhere, it knows how to place oneself on serendipity. Instead of possessing art by bidding or browsing, why not make art yourself? The potential hidden in your heart is calling for its neverland. From time to time, art sets our true natures free, helps us dust off the trivia and pick up pure appreciation we once had.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I truly believe that a bond exists between my inspirations, my personal experiences, and my dyslexia.

      <image:caption>“In the ‘Type’ series, each kanji character expresses different personalities: tastes, thoughts, and so on. By changing the font and expression— that is color and printing— I want to convey the fact that the meaning of a single kanji character, a word created by assembling these characters is universal, but each person has their own individual consciousness, and there is a reality that is not bound to a single value.”</image:caption>

My art forces you to face that truth. The threats to our democracy must be faced head on. Racial injustice, gender oppression, gun violence, climate abuse and apathy—these are routines we must break.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I often use animal characters in my artwork to remind us that as human beings, we are just a part of nature, even if we think we’re sitting on the top of the ecosystem. I make these animal characters speak like humans, to show that there’s no difference between humans and other animals.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When I’m sad I think more about art, ideas to express and media to create, which drives me to be happier in life. It’s like I live in a circle. I am depressed – so I make art. Then I’m happy, and after my ‘battery’ drains, and I’m sad again, so I make more art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“It is a concept born of us individual human beings at the same time, that the electronic world is nihilistic. This vast ‘fiction’ is now writhing around, trying to eclipse reality. But while we feel uneasy about it, we are clearly human. If the eternal return will occur, it will be a joy. For we are the cause that is transformed by the negativity of self. It is in this time of uncertainty that we become human. I want to create a society that can truly affirm the beauty of living with contradictions.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The definition of art is the way we express our imaginative conceptual thoughts and ideas. Through each individual’s technical skills, we attempt to evoke a certain kind of emotion—a reflection or visualization to put our message across. Art affects our essential sense of self. The impact an artist has on society is highly affected by the personality of the individual artist and their chosen style of work.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Her art is a floating of color to get lost in, like an energetic and regenerating magma to dive into. The color plays a lead role in the composition, and the shape that it will take on the canvas might change according to our look and experience with it. Aneta’s art represents the chance of getting lost and letting go, to something involving and cathartic; going beyond boundaries to reach a new reality. Mental connections correspond to a freedom of the pictorial gesture, in which the unconscious shapes the matter. A living material sought by the artist, who carefully handles the coat of the color to make it pulsating, present and visible." Critic’s text by Laura Francesca Di Trapni Madrid, España 2018.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The presence of light in her abstract paintings reveals complex labyrinths that lead to a magical world, where dreams and obsessions, solitude and re-encounters coexist. The strength of the work is based on the chromatic contrast caused by the overlapping elements, and results in deep three-dimensional environments. The precise but loose movements of the strokes confirm the mastery of the technique, the unlimited freedom and the expressive force of the artist.” José Roberto Moreira Curator at Collorida Art Gallery, Lisbon, Portugal, 2017.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My son loved popping soap bubbles when he was quite young. One time, he asked why the bubbles burst on their own. After explaining to the best of my ability, my son interpreted my words in a completely different way. This made me realize that everyone strives for knowledge, and tries to understand the old views, beliefs and explanations in their own way. They build something new from their own ideas or theories. And that science is actually transient. This is how the painting ‘Lust for knowledge’ was created.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“The painting ‘Dream’ was inspired by folded bed sheets. They simply fascinated me and I stared dreamily at the crease for so long. When I woke up from my dream, I found this thought in my head again. The idea about merging reality and dreams through the viewer; this invisible border between reality and dream. The idea isn't new, but I really wanted to draw it my way.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In the past we humans learned to control the world outside us, but we had very little control over the world inside… When mosquitoes buzzed around our ears and disturbed our sleep, we knew how to kill them, but when a thought buzzed around in our heads and kept us up at night, most of us didn't know how to get rid of it.” Noah Harrari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, p 27</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I paint on wood and find it very meaningful to use the absence of paint to represent the absence of the woman’s autonomy and identity. The wood knots become well-placed nipples. I’m entertained by the idea that people will have to come to terms with their own projections of sexuality on the wood grain and knots.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I love that as I paint, I feel like I’m giving the women depicted in the original painting a voice in the future. It has been said that the women in my paintings are more present in their absence. I guess because they speak their truth and are not purely objects to be looked at. Collectively, their eyes seem to follow you around the room, inviting you into their void existence.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Color has became an important feature within my work. It represents the light reflected in each one of us. Every painting arises from the center and is embedded into stillness and dynamics. They are related to my person, and at the same time, they are an attempt to get closer to the soul of the human being. This may contribute to experiencing a new quality of perception.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Although my works are abstract at first sight, they take up symbols of brotherhood and freedom like a flock of birds, a drop of water or one's own reflection.

Normal sighted people will grasp the coloristic and aesthetic aspect, while visually impaired people will better understand the meaning of the work through the reading of the artist's thought reported on it.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When working on portraits, I would first ask people to sit for me, but more recently I’ve realized that I work better if I make a few live sketches or take a photo, and complete the piece later in my studio. I’ve also painted from photos taken by someone else. I feel quite intrigued by the process of painting from a photo that portrays a person, thus making my personal interpretation of someone else’s interpretation of the sitter.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Time features strongly in my paintings. It is fleeting, never-ending, reoccurring and heavy. We are all just moments, like raindrops in an ocean. But we are part of, and connected to what has been before, and what will be in the future. This is symbolized through the circle of sticks, and the birds, and also through the mountains’ timelessness, strength and peace.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My creative process starts with the idea that I need to express. I place designs with an acrylic medium on my canvas with various tools: trowels, spatulas and knives, to achieve the texture that I want to paint on. This is allowed to dry. Then I stare at the canvas until I decide which color or colors I want to take the painting in.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The canvas is a micro cosmos where I can make a series of decisions and determine the outcome. Every canvas presents me with the opportunity to leave a mark that is uniquely mine. The meditative aspect is related to where this series of ‘marks' and choices takes me in the process. Art takes us somewhere else - it can unburden us from our troubles and anxiety and unite us with humanity. Every story can be shared, and lifelong omissions given voice. There is no better place for truth and freedom than on a canvas.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When it comes to inspiration, I agree with Chuck Close about not waiting around for it to strike; that ‘things will grow out of the activity itself’. I’ve often found that just getting to it is the best path to feeling inspiration. I think the artist needs to be in constant conversation with themselves.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Influence can be a tricky thing to pinpoint. I feel we are constantly being influenced by a variety of sources beyond visual art, without being consciously aware of it. I would definitely cite music as being a huge influence on my work, perhaps because my art is expression driven, rather than primarily concept driven.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my illustrations, I draw innocent girls as if they were Blythe dolls. The Blythe doll is cute and innocent, but has a crazy side.

And just like with water, everything in our life mixes and starts all over again. Combining color, element and rhythm, we immerse ourselves in a particular world of associations, through which something different is revealed to each of us.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Abstract painting is often just beautiful - but it’s not only about beauty. It’s about recognizing what beauty opens up to you. Abstract painting can enable you to be quiet, it’s the quiet space of the arts. Abstract painting isn't a story. It resists the narrative. It’s all at once.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My inspiration sometimes comes from music or children playing outside. It’s the feeling I get when I have these experiences that I try to bring back to life in my artwork. It defines the brushstroke, the marks, the texture, the contrast or the colors used. I hope my work stirs an emotion within the viewer so they find meaning in the painting.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“These past two years, our society has changed immensely. I don’t think it’s been all bad because it’s forced us to take stock of how we’re living our lives. It’s also given us a chance to become more compassionate. We are not alone in this pandemic experience at this time. By sharing my art online and on social media platforms, I like to think I’ve given someone some hope or joy, and a wish to buy an artwork to enjoy in their home or workspace.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I find the process of creating and realizing new ideas very meaningful. Something irregular or a mistake inspires me to think of a way to move in an unexpected direction. I love it when a painting is not limited by its title, so that the meaning is formed by the observer, who finds a detail that can tell them a personal story.”</image:caption>

These are often meant to contextualize the work through referencing elements of my personal history, such as certain drawings or doodles I would do in my school years.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“On many occasions, an idea for the scenery or the style of the astrophoto image is just hiding. Sometimes I just walk out from my desk to have some fresh air, then go back, and redo the same thing. It could be a few days or weeks. Hence, creativity is just seeking for something already hidden, something interesting.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - Despite the inherent difficulty that implies working with bronze—challenging as it is to achieve the same finish as the original models— Troice’s sculptures are carefully crafted. Her polished surfaces, as well as the use of polychrome patinas, convey the artist’s ideas and reveal a personal expressive style that emphasizes the contrast between geometric and organic shapes, a contradiction that is at the core of her aesthetic search.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “We are all artists, whether you’re a mathematician, an engineer or even a doctor. We are artists in our own ways. But when we use the traditional arts, like painting, sculpting, writing, acting, reciting, dancing, singing, and playing music, we remind ourselves of our capacity as creators. I believe that each of us can have a better world for each one of us. Art is an irreverent way of reminding us of that.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“I use the superposition of transparent colors on top of each other, adding new shades in each new layer to give them character and achieve depth.

      <image:caption>“I don’t believe art is often intentional. It is not bound to be any one thing, nor should it be described any one way. My art, while having a certain idea behind it, is free to be interpreted on a very individual basis and does not necessarily fall under a specific description, nor is it destined to be any one genre of art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The most brilliant creator is nature. Look, for example, at the iris flower. This is a real masterpiece! Man cannot create anything like this. The artist can only try to copy, but he can never create something that would surpass natural creation. He will not even be able to copy, because the beauty of a flower is not only in perfect proportions and fancy colors. How does one convey the flutter of petals in the wind, the aroma, transience and variability?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“While visualising, I search for pictures that stand out: recurring signs and symbols that touch me deeply. There are three of them that currently stand out the most: SIGNUM, PRIMAL and OVUM. Their shapes vary, but the principle behind them stays the same. So I usually have to create variations of each of them.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The representation of cultural characteristics does not always necessarily need to convey a message about the appreciation of Brazilian culture. In many of my works, my specific interest is to represent only a form, a composition, and a mixture of colors that simply evoke some feeling or sensation for those observing the work of art.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“We have to dig into ourselves, find ourselves where we are ‘damaged’ the most, and start loving ourselves from there. By doing that, we will grow to far beyond what we would if we weren’t aware or confronted with these emotions we have hidden away. We can never reach our full potential unless we unlock and discover the deepest and darkest corners of our messed-up souls.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The separation of an artist from their creation is hard. Through this piece of ‘art’, you are showing someone what can’t be seen, and telling them what sometimes can’t be said. Ultimately, the deeper meaning of the process is connected to its creator.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I can invent a piece inspired by anything, even ordinary things. It is often enough to just shift an angle of view. Or try a different approach or style, even a different colour can produce a surprising effect. In the end it is something beautiful.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“Expressions have the opportunity to say more than words. Your words can say a lot, but your expression can speak the truth. Your winks, smirks, smiles, cries, and grimaces can explain what you are really feeling or thinking. They are the window to your emotions and thoughts.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My paintings are journeys that take you on an adventure of self-discovery. They encourage individualism and self-actualization, and inspire my collectors to be free, follow their heart and step into their destiny. I believe in self-growth and uniqueness. You should strive to fulfill your dreams and be your own kind of beauty no matter what anyone says. Just be you.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Call and response and continuation is another method I am developing. Overwriting images selectively curated from fashion magazines, themselves a legacy medium that crossed this threshold in our time. Some from the present, others collected over decades. The catalyst here is conversational creativity; an interaction with and about time. Taking something in existence and redirecting its purpose; repurposing something that was in some sense meticulously finished, and using it as a basis for the beginning.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“For my Doodlemanship process, I start with a basic iOS drawing app, creating thumb and finger drawings, often while commuting around Hong Kong. I mirror the endless scrolling of my fellow travelers, but instead opting for creation rather than consumption. Back in the studio, I recreate the quick phone doodles as large-format paintings. There is the medium of time in several senses, not least upcrafting from doodles.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Sharon Grimes’ work demonstrates a quality found in spiritual artwork, ethereal atmospheres sometimes containing bold and dynamic bursts of colors. There is a dreamlike quality to her artwork. Found internationally with obvious influences of spirit, her work brings the beholder to peace." ~ Julia Ross</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I have never been satisfied dealing with only the surface-level of anything. A work may begin with a surface-level concept, but I am going behind the veil of the surface to get to a deeper structure and meaning. The transformative power of art happens in the exploration of that which remains unconscious.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When talking to someone, that person's energy can sometimes appear as a mysterious vision. The figure that appears at this time is synchronized with the person's body, but more clearly embodies the essence of the person's soul. Often, works are created by touching not only people, but also sounds, scents, and the energy of the land.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Not only does the motif I draw represent the existence of light, but my work stimulates the viewer's own element of light because I, the creator, positively capture my energy. Through the existence and energy of the light, I draw. And I hope that each person who sees my work will remember that they are the light.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My painting ‘Legacy Of A Rose, Life Growth Through Adversity’, is my interpretation of growth in life. It took me years to finally finish the painting. ‘On the race track of Life, Mother Rose drops her petals on the Thorns of Life. As each petal goes on their own journey, all experience the thorns (or adversities) of Life. With each cut, most learn and grow as they keep on their voyage, and are filled with a richer, fuller life.’”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “In order to feel inspired, you first need to be able to recognize and appreciate beautiful things. The feeling of ‘I wish I would have thought of that’ is your brain trying to make new and interesting connections. At the beginning, this feels hard and exhausting, like a muscle you haven’t trained. But over time, this muscle grows and you become more confident with your artistic choices, because you have the skills and the knowledge to back up your actions.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I became an artist to avoid being part of society. I have trouble talking to people about their ‘real jobs’, and have little patience for small talk. That occasionally makes me feel out of place. But life is too short, and we have limited time left. Spending time not doing something creative is absolutely crazy to me.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My favorite work is ‘Mom’s Wearing Pants!’ (shown right) This was one of my first paintings where I started building the technique of sculpturally using paint. While working on this painting, I learned of individuals, several generations back, whom no one had ever talked about, and how their lives were both so different and so similar to my own.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “We all feel alone in our world, in the big world and that's a good thing. We are alone and yet connected. Art shows that there is more, so much more. Rely on your imagination, and let the imagination of others take you to unknown coasts. The topic, therefore, is the self-observation on ever-new islands that one travels to voluntarily, or where one is stranded, and the reaction of others to it. The fertility in its inexhaustibility, the human depths and heights in the ups and downs of life are further sources of inspiration.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“In my academic years, when my images were like a short summary of a long story, or the stills of the most relevant scene from a movie, I was ultimately very self-centered. I always had the urge to unravel the secret. I wanted others to understand the point. I wanted to be understood. But now I find that open-ended stories invite one to feel like a companion with the storyteller.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Nature is the source that fills me with strength again, as my insomnia sometimes pulls me down into deep canyons. Dreaming, the land in-between, is the second focus of my work. Maybe we are all a cornucopia and it is our fate to overflow. Since I am mostly solely responsible for my sons, I see and love the fearlessness of many women. Being a female artist is still not easy when you have strong family ties.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “Elspeth Moncrieff once said of Perucchetti’s work: ‘Resin has an innate instability and is even more difficult to control when foreign materials are embedded within it. Like prehistoric insects captured in the sticky ooze of the amber resin that killed them while preserving them, Perucchetti entraps his objects for all time. His work is totally beguiling. It is high-tech, of our time, bright, clean, and utterly original.’”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I feel that artists tend to be the result of what their culture has done to them, and what their environment was like growing up.

I see this happening even more as a result of the many additional stressors in our environment, and in our culture as a whole.”</image:title>

Their everyday actions are as important as anything else, in making a story.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I really appreciate when my work sends emotions back to the viewer. When they see the projection of their own territory, whether it is an inner or outer landscape. A sort of intimate dialogue between the work and the person in front of it. The contemplation, the loss of reference points, the calm or the storm felt. The awareness of our human condition.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Sometimes it happens that some people are so touched that they can no longer take their eyes off the work. The work becomes the medium of a meditation. The right brain gives way to the left brain (the basis of the emotional brain), and the viewer unconsciously projects landscapes that he has experienced.”</image:caption>

The process of painting is cathartic, a purification of the soul; it brings about a renewal of my inner self.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I think an artist's role is to remain original, sustain authenticity and continue taking risks by stepping outside of each box, circle or triangle. To explore but always appreciate its foundation; and at the end, somehow ignite sincere inspiration to those that don't seek it.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I am a realism watercolour artist. However, I don't use watercolour paints the way that most artists do. I like to use thicker layers to get as much detail as possible. It really is a forgiving medium.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I tend to work on several pieces at the same time, rotating through them. I then focus on them one at a time to bring them to completion. The sound of music or storytelling is always in the background. I sometimes photograph an unfinished piece to ‘see’ it in a different way, and to reveal what more to add, or what needs to be scaled back.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“The transformative power of wearable sculptures helps to explore the self, doubled and camouflaged. Freeing myself from the shackles of social constraints, I hide the presence of my person by masking race, social status, and class. I transform into a being who is constantly seeking a home, trying to understand what it means to be human, and questioning where she belongs.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When creating, I try moving my hands as I like, in my current mood at that time. I will then hear a ‘voice’ from the canvas. According to that voice, I decide the color and move the brush in the direction I want to go. The ‘voice’ I hear from the canvas is the voice of my heart. I will obediently follow the voice of my heart and aim for the goal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “Orani calls on each individual to turn inward and fathom his or her very personal layers. That means to question oneself and to take off rigid patterns, to transform in order to experience oneself in a new level of consciousness, directly and authentically.” - Aleksandra Savkovic, M.A. Literature, art adviser and copywriter.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “The dramatic conflict between a homogeneous social mass and the individual is strongly represented in Orani's works, especially in his cycle ‘Transcendence’. Transcendence means crossing boundaries inwards and dealing with the ‘worldly’ limitations of human experience, breaking chains of norms. It also involves dissolving existing power structures that push the individual into a vacuum of restriction and almost in a state of daze. Separated from itself and emotionally isolated from its natural environment.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I’m an artist - one of a kind. I found my own unique way to capture the moment. Instead of taking the easy way of using all the fantastic tools the digital world offers us today, I opted for the traditional craftsmanship of analogue photography. This technique is about capturing the moment as it is. There is no margin for change after you’ve opened the shutter. With this authentic style combined with my love for detail, I am able to grow my artwork out of my imagination and fantasy.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“One of my demands on my art is I want an object to be something other than what it is. What is to be understood is that the design of everyday objects is created through creative combinations, through reduction or addition. I ‘find’ my objects, tear them out of their previous functional and meaningful context, and thus encourages new ways of looking at things.”</image:caption>

I try to create realistic art because personally, I find it challenging to reproduce a part of reality on paper or canvas using simple materials."</image:title>

      <image:caption>“One major theme in my work is communication. Art, as most interactive things, is a communicative expression.

      <image:caption>“I don't believe in the notion of a 'right first time' when it comes to painting. Instead, I believe new meaning appears dynamically, and that you have to let go and let the work go on to complete itself; sometimes over years.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“With constant motion and impression intensity, we experience overwhelm in the search for a tangible means of self-expression. Complexity and lack of clarity leads to an experience of separation, loneliness, and a yearning to connect to something, someone, while at the same time to separate and be distinguishable. Differentiated. We are held captive by a state of unrest, but in the end, beauty will save the world. This is the true artist’s role in the society.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “My work is focused on the construction process of the image. This construction is based on how painting is brought to life onto the canvas; sometimes dripping, other times spreading, fading...and so on.

      <image:caption>“For the past 7 years, I have painted using only two brushes. These two brushes speak a thousand words, and touch a thousand hearts. When people take a deep look at my paintings and ask, ‘Is this art?’, that's the best compliment they can pay me. It means I have made them think and analyze my work.”</image:caption>

I still listen to them.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“Human expressiveness is a main source of inspiration for my work. I always like to observe and study the features of a face with less common lines. It's a great feeling when I capture the human emotion in paint. I remember when I drew the first realistic portrait of my best friend in 5th grade. We were both so excited. I knew then that was the kind of feeling I want to have in my life.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work seems to fall into three categories - surrealist, fantasy and pop art. I'm not trying to change the world with my art. I simply want to make people think when they view my work. With my paintings, you can always tell what's going on - you just don't necessarily know why. I like to create potential stories that evolve in the viewer's mind upon seeing my work. And if I can bring a smile to your face, that's all the better!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Quite a few things actually inspire me. I love the movement within a piece, how color and light work together. I love art that tells a story. Whether the story is simple or complicated, it matters not. I love to dream, to be carried away and then to return; perhaps a bit different from the experience.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “Through my art, I have always aimed to create an environment that no matter the age of the viewer, they can appreciate the art. My art is very personal to me. I have always been a perfectionist, and allowing people to see artworks that I wasn’t 100% happy with was something I struggled with greatly. But now I am quite happy doing so. I would describe my work as personal growth and the process that comes along with that.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I believe an artist’s role in society is to bring some beauty and new perspective to the world. Every artist sees the world in a different way, and we each portray that in our own way, which in itself is beautiful. Allowing people to see a glimpse of how we see the world through our artworks is truly a gift. The role of an artist is constantly evolving with new techniques being developed and new situations to create art out of. As long as I can show people the world the way I see it, I believe I have done my job as an artist.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I believe artists have to play a huge role in society, since art can express the things that words cannot. Therefore, spreading good vibes through art is the most important thing, and this can only be done by artists. It helps inspire people and assists them to escape momentarily from their uncertain situations.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“My lay-off from work was devastating to both me and my family but, I took it as a sign to change my path in life.

Faces that were happy, sad, silly, excited, nervous… all kinds of human emotions. I loved it!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“How can I not say that I am inspired by music? The parallels between the improvisational approach to abstract expressionism and jazz are limitless. I love the raspy tones of a tenor sax as well as the virtuosity of jazz piano. Of course, I cannot omit the rhythmic beat of the supporting percussion. Contemporary jazz accompanies me in the studio.”</image:caption>

That being said, after living with a painting for a period of time, I may go back into it and change it completely or completely paint over the whole thing. At that time, I usually give it a different title.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The serial separation of one motive onto several canvases alludes to photo sequences that document a journey. It is about the human, observing a view, how it is processed, and it is about the interdependence between landscape and observer. Hence, it is also about the influence of the observer, of humans on landscapes.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “The interaction of the viewer is the moment when art becomes tangible and awakens emotions. You become a child again when you dare to interact. The often lost, forgotten child becomes visible again and art becomes an experience. The challenge for me as an artist is to get the viewer to accept this invitation.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Although my inspiration to make art stems from witnessing, what I consider unjust economic and social systems, I would not call myself an art activist. I am not interested in preaching, rather there is always the hope that an artwork you made will resonate with someone and create an opening for them to think differently or more actively about the landscape they live in. Hopefully it would facilitate a physical, mythical or emotional link and contribute to meta thoughts about our place in a community, the world and the universe.”</image:caption>

My photography is based around an exploration of realism and often comments on today’s world in a documentary and non-staged style. My creative direction work is really a partnership between myself and my clients and tries to examine how people interact with experiences in a real-life scenario.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Some of my paintings contain a message; a message I don’t see until the painting is finished. Such as this painting, the Flounderling. A flounder is a fish. To flounder is to struggle. The Flounderling is my painting of a fish in a perfect ocean, but our oceans are far from perfect. This Painting is being exhibited at the 160th Open Exhibition of the Society of Women Artists.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “I'm not too particular about the materials I use, and I choose not to be bothered by what I don't have. I usually try to create using whatever is near me. If there is paper, I use paper. If there is canvas, I use canvas. After that I explore whether I’m going to finalize the piece as digital art or augmented reality and the like. I like the idea of combining the traditional with technology.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - What is an artist’s role in society and how do you see that evolving? “An artist’s role depends on where the society is, how the environment is and what message the artist brings. Sometimes I see artists as human representatives of the thoughts that are channeled from people or societies that cannot, or do not dare to, take the step to speak in their own way. Ah, aku mulai sotoy.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile - ALO has been described as an urban expressionist. Looking at his style you can see why. “My roots are in the street” he says. Though from an artistic point of view his influences have always drawn more from the likes of Picasso and Matisse. “My connections are a bit different to what is usually linked to street art”. It’s a different approach he says that probably helped in terms of the initial curiosity about his work.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “ A recurring theme in my work is psychology, because we all have certain experiences as humans, such as loss. No matter who you are, we all sense a coercion; we all know a quiet desperation. This dynamic where we will all suffer from these overwhelming wounds of the mind, where only love will save us, and this we already know.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>“My art has two layers - the first layer is the image and the second layer is the idea itself. I want people to see my work but think, ‘What am I seeing?’ My work is very self-explanatory on the surface, but you are supposed to question what you are seeing, for example, not so much if the dog is actually a dog in the image - that aspect is very clear.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My attitude to the world is very existentialist, and both my art and my life are constantly moving between the positive and negative poles. Sometimes my works are idyllic, but I also love to portray the less beautiful sides of life, and I know that my art can sometimes seem provocative to someone. However, I do not work consciously to provoke people. I just portray the things that occupy and interest me.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The starting point of my work is naturalistic. There are always recognizable figures, objects and the like in my works. Sometimes it's just a naturalistic work. Other times, however, there are other things behind it, and the recognizable elements take on a new meaning, making the works move in a more surreal direction.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My work aims to highlight women in all their forms. To value the woman in all her layers, as well as the various metamorphoses that she can go through as a young girl to a mother, or a young girl to a married woman, etc. Whether she is a young girl, mother, wife, elderly, whether she is thin or round, I believe that the woman is a real diamond.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“There’s a quote from Andrés Suares which, in my opinion, sums up the exact function of art, ‘Art is the perfect place for freedom.’ Art is a way of expressing oneself freely. We create it in different forms. From the moment we create something that comes straight out of our head, there are no more constraints, no more obstacles. It’s exactly what Andrés Suares says: it is perfect freedom!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I ended up being disillusioned with the art system and trying to make relevant work for an audience.

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I have certain political messages in my work, but chose to make them obscure and somewhat hidden from the viewer. I am particularly influenced by the stories of the Australian First Nations people and the injustice and generational trauma that they have suffered. The concept of the Dreamtime resonates deeply with my own spiritual connection found in the land, and I suppose that idea of the in-between space is that space between black and white, traditional cultural and Anglo-Christian.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The artist who has most influenced my career is Rene Magritte. When I first saw one of his works, it was love at first sight. I knew immediately that this was my line. Since then, the surrealist style has been the voice of my creations. I have also found great influence and admiration in the figure of Frida Kahlo, as the greatest international Latin artist in the world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Nature is the primary source of my inspiration. I love painting trees, plants, flowers, landscapes, the sea and such. I show how the natural light can influence and enhance their colors. Color is a big thing for me and I love working in bright, vivid tones and hues. I am sometimes, especially in the past 10 or so years, inspired from within where more stylized images and colors will come to me, especially in moments of calm, stillness and meditation, which I really try to keep up with as much as I can.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I usually start painting in the mornings after breakfast and meditation (ideally), so that I feel present and ready to give the piece my full attention. I always try to allow myself large blocks of time so that I won't feel rushed or pressured. I like to create a very calm and peaceful atmosphere in my studio before I begin. Sometimes I play inspirational and uplifting music to help me to get into the flow. Occasionally I'll listen to a book on audio or a podcast. In general I need solitude and silence to get going with the more involved aspects of the painting.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Technically, my work is a cross-over of photography and digital art. The base is always different photographs I mix together. Conceptually, I would say, I tell stories. I always focus on humans, how they behave, how they feel. I want people to feel what someone would be feeling in that specific situation. I want people to feel for the person, to immerse themselves in that person’s situation at that point in time. I see myself as a storyteller using camera and computer.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Although I mainly work as a photographer, I am most influenced by people like Basquiat and Christo. Basquiat because of his colourful and graphic way of telling stories, and Christo because of his simple but extraordinary fascinating concepts. I love each and every work of both of them, more than any other art. The photographer that influenced me most is Ernst Haas. His strong colours, his blurry motion in his images which make them look abstract, it’s all absolutely fantastic and still looks very modern to me.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile - There is a sense of a young artist and woman coming of age in these works – they are simultaneously vibrant but also codified, obscured, and protected. These works serve almost as a visual diary of how the young painter continues to define and redefine herself in a larger context. Segun describes her practice as a way of challenging reality and pushing herself to create alternative ways to position herself in contemporary art and society.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Through my latest series of works, I have explored the idea of "Nuances and Contrasts." The series depicts a personality going through changes and discovering more facets of itself as the process unfolds. In our nature, it is possible to be vulnerable and strong, as well as assertive and flexible. Furthermore, this softness and flexibility are accompanied by a significant amount of strength. It is within this power that a lot of beauty and admiration can exist. For me, this is an incredibly beautiful and fascinating process.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile - Mora’s artistic practice explores the form of camouflage, mimesis, and appropriation, further confounding the complex relationship between reality and representation. Bodies, revitalized through a virtual space, engage us just as these paintings. But why paintings? Why not video or new-media art? There is an intimacy in painting, a sort of Romantic desire to reconnect to the corporeal, the physical body. The real body. This play between contemporary technology and more traditional means is also a commentary on classical portraiture’s role in courtship before the advent of photography.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile - “I like the poppy colors, like the oranges, blues, and pinks. This is the palette that makes me happy. From the clothing I put on, I’m very happy with these restrictions, and simplicity. I hardly use yellow but I did it for the Nike jacket because it worked so well together. I’ll break the rules sometimes because they’re my own.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>Kimberly has been involved in special education for over 19 years, and has committed her career to the field of deaf autism after experiencing first-hand the difficulties her own child has faced.

She was presented the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 2010 by President Obama for her strong desire to make a difference in the world. This is the second-highest award bestowed by the President on American citizens. She was one of thirteen citizens who received this honour.

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Thematically, my works are about gender and sexuality. In my performances I touch upon problems related to the demystification of female genitalia, forced marriage, virginity control, sexual harassment, and the right to sexual self-determination. I am opposed to the determination of women seeking to break free from traditional sexual roles and existing notions of beauty. I challenge generally accepted social norms regarding women's rights in the world. It questions gender-based discrimination imposed by the state. In fact, I noticed that from an early age my surreal drawings, later sculptures, and now performances were about the female body.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I don't like political art. In my opinion, with the help of art, we can highlight certain social, political and environmental problems. However, art is not a tool to solve these problems. Art must be free. There is no place for censorship in art. Art is fantasy, play, and the artist provides the audience with these emotional stimuli. In my opinion, an artist should be able to educate and entertain the audience.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my mind, themes emerge in the midst of the creative process. The work unfolds as if they were revealing themselves. Maybe it's subconscious. Possibly the main theme is the search for an artistic connection both ancestral and contemporary. When it comes to hidden messages, I believe all art speaks differently to each viewer. Every dialogue will have a hidden message depending on the audience's background, so each dialogue will have its own hidden message.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “The materials I use are dependent on the format I decide to use. For video works I am looking for footage that fits and which I shoot mainly on the streets or in nature. For color inks and shellac paintings on paper I use brushes of different sizes, my fingers, even rain that destroys the expected outcome of color. I leave the paper leaf out in the rain and let the drops do their work. For building light sculptures like the Houses of Shades, I use mainly used bedsheets, painted with diluted wall paint, which allows the light rays to shine through. I do cut the figures out of card box material or I glue translucent paper on wires, formed in the shape of figures I want to display. After that I paint them with water color in the colors I like.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - What materials and techniques do you use to create your work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I love to use oil paints, ink, charcoal, pens, whatever I can get my hands on and depending on what I’m trying to express. Each type of paint and texture has a different language and it’s important to consider that when working on a piece. I love and feel most comfortable working on paper and with sculptures, yet lately I have been working with oils on large canvas and that in itself can be challenging and time consuming but always rewarding in the end.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview - “Inspiration for me is forever flowing.

      <image:title>Blog - Interview</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Bright colors, floral &amp; organic shapes find space in my paintings as impressions from nature, my inner world. Colorful contrasts and strong rhythms float together in an imaginative harmony. The joie de vivre of my work takes the viewer along, creating emotional touches of vitality. By using different art supplies like acrylic, oil pastel, ink, pen, spraypaint, structure gel and more; every artwork tells it’s story. From a place of intuition combined with knowledge about colors and material, I build up the painting layer by layer with expressive marks.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview #90 - “My works are quite reflective of me as a person. I switch between abstract and figurative - figurative generally being inspired from life at home with a young family. The abstract work is more about me. They share common traits though - all rough and raw and very unrefined. The more mistakes, the merrier. They add life to a painting and make them interesting and real.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview #88 - Gijs Kast's portraits are stripped from any form of aesthetic. The images offer a direct and confronting reflection that underlines the humanity of the portraited. Kast shows what normally is hidden and uses his humor to make the painful experience of this exposure bearable. Kast reveals the venom within you and offers you the pleasure of a sarcastic peep. It is therefore not hard to tune in to his work.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview #86 - “My exhibition, ‘Softer Thoughts’, at Devening projects was a memorable one as it spanned two separate rooms within the same exhibition. There was a challenge to create two distinct spaces while utilizing sculpture, installation, and painting. I’d been struggling with the two mediums in prior contexts and feel this was a fitting context to confidently present two separate, yet relatable bodies of work.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile #236 - “I discovered the world of art in childhood through my father Dario, an artist who has been painting and creating sculptures with every type of material for over 40 years. I have memories of when I was about 7 or 8 years old that, with my father, I painted and created my first small sculptures by assembling objects, I discovered a side of creative and fascinating art.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Artist profile #235 - “The important thing is how that painting is painted and how it seduces the viewer. The intelligence of the execution, its mastery, how the artist manages the viewer’s perspective from where he wants. Where does the viewer enter the painting, walk through it, and then exit? Those are the things that make a work of art timeless.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Interview #85 - “I love sewing my work together because it feels so personal to me.
