Interview with Irene Hoff

For self-taught Dutch artist Irene Hoff, the world is out of balance which can be seen in the human & environmental challenges we are currently faced with.

Victor Varela

Painting as a vision intends a dematerialization of painting itself by an intentional setback of perception that problematizes the experience of seeing. What painting sees, as much as what it allows to be seen, comprises the minimum unit of the image as its maximum consequence.

Alexandre Coxo

Alexandre Coxo is a young Portuguese artist who produces his paintings in two extremes: the natural, in the figurative elements; the artificial, by the logical mathematical speech. In this way, it seeks to develop images that somehow we already know and, simultaneously, do not know where or when.
