Interview with Aliza Thomas

I learned traditional Eastern and Western papermaking techniques, pulp painting, collage, and printmaking. While having technical and historical knowledge is valuable, possessing it doesn’t mean you have to apply it. I prefer to explore various old, new, or alternative methods to achieve my desired outcome. Understanding traditional techniques provides a solid foundation for experimentation and creating works that inspire me.

Interview with Ivan Suvanjieff

My painting is indeed spontaneous. I never start with a sketch. I start to paint on a blank white canvas, primed with several layers of white gesso. And then shape, form, and movement starts to emerge. I am so focused that I don't notice the noise of life passing by on the village street that runs next to my studio. What I am trying to capture is the mood or energy that I find in myself at that moment.

Artist Spotlight - Petraq Pecani

Through his brush the artist highlights beautifully the unique nature of Albanian scenery.
