All in Contemporary Art

Artist Spotlight - Friedhard Meyer

The creation of images in the "New Pointillism" requires a significant amount of time. This highly meditative process stands in stark contrast to the fast-paced, digital age and invites the viewer to appreciate the slow, conscious creation of beauty. The experience of standing before one of these images should be a journey into silence, a rare commodity in today's art world, where shock value is often prioritized over substance. My paintings, beyond their aesthetic beauty, convey a message about the necessity of slowness and contemplation in our fast-paced world.

Interview with Stefan Fransson

Stefan Fransson is a Swedish contemporary artist who blends digital collage, sculpture, and organic forms to create layered images. He combines soft tones with sharp contrasts, adding transparency and depth to each composition. His art often features geometric fragments and natural textures that form complex visual structures—through which he explores space, memory, and perception.

Interview with Eva Nordholt

While painting the gold, I enjoy it's beauty and the technique I use. I experiment with different colors, in the gold or silver  and in the shadows, because the standards are never set. This is the technical part on which I focus, compartmentalized is the connotation of sadness and melancholy.  It is an intuitive process rather than something planned or thought out, and it changes as the painting progresses. The figures surely feel protected,  but in a certain way are exposed at the same time because you can't help but wondering what lies underneath, which is the relationship between surface and depth.

Artist Spotlight - Jacqueline Bislimi

I’m a contemporary paintress based in Switzerland. My works blends abstraction, symbolism and emotional depth, creating a visual language that feels both intimate and universal. With a distinctly modern sensibility, I’m explore the spaces between forms and feelings, guiding art lovers into dream like atmospheres that often evoke memory, introspection and quiet transformation.

Artist Spotlight - Gloria Keh


As I approach my 74th year, various happenings have brought about big changes in my art involvements. I now concentrate more on solo exhibitions and have increased time spent on mailart and the making of art books. I prefer solitude, retreating more and more into the silence of my studio. Art continues to soothe the soul, providing a comforting balm for both mind and body.

Interview with MIYOKO

I conceive of roses and cranes as living entities endowed with mind and emotion. This perception arises from an inner, multidimensional worldview that is liberated from physical and temporal constraints, within which such beings reveal themselves in this form. What appears there is not the object itself, but the manifestation of mind and emotion; at times, the universal ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty—which each being may inherently possess—are reflected with clarity and dignity within the rose.

Interview with Christy Chor

Christy Chor is a Canadian ceramic artist who creates a body of narrative-driven sculptural work exploring the sensory dialogue between humanity and the natural world. Her master theme, BACK TO NATURE, unfolds through successive series including Bird, Bear, and her current Mountain works, serving as tactile meditations on wonder, imbalance, and rebirth. An internationally recognized and award-winning artist, Christy's practice merges cross-cultural perspectives, uniting her ceramics education from Sheridan College in Canada with professional experience in Asia's design industry. Through this unique lens, she creates sculptures that are both communicative and masterfully composed.

Interview with Shimohara Aya

I am interested in the tension between escapism and the weight of the real because I don’t think we ever fully move from one to the other. Screens offer us moments of escape, projection, and imagination, but they are also where anxiety, comparison, loneliness, and desire accumulate. What looks like lightness or play often carries a quiet heaviness underneath. In that sense, fantasy and the ordinary are not opposites in my work—they coexist and constantly bleed into each other.

Interview with Carmen De Alba

I am guided almost entirely by intuition, an inner voice that speaks through the process. When something is missing, the painting carries a sense of visual emptiness; it has not yet found its soul. The moment of equilibrium arrives when that inner voice becomes clear. A sense of fullness rather than excess. That is when I know the painting has reached its emotional balance, and that nothing more needs to be added or taken away.

Interview with Michel Testard

Michel Testard is a contemporary painter whose work is shaped by long-term travel and lived experience across Asia, India, Europe and the polar regions. Born in Japan and raised between continents, he has developed a practice rooted in travel, cultural immersion and sustained encounters with distant places. His paintings explore landscapes, interiors and human figures as emotional spaces rather than documentary subjects, blending observation, memory and imagination.

Interview with Veronique Avril

I don’t see anything particularly abstract in my work. I see a mode of expression through colors, texture, and theme. I see a transmission of emotion much more than abstraction.
For me, it’s visual, it’s emotional, but not abstract.
When I choose something that evokes liquid, metallic, or cosmic surfaces, it’s a choice. When I choose a reserved woman or a child with a bear, it’s a choice, but it’s not abstraction.
I want the audience to feel an intense sensation, an intense emotion, something that touches them. It’s not an endpoint; it’s the beginning. It’s a choice to choose colors, forms.
I want both recognizable iconography and visual density.

Interview with Ashley Gray

I feel the emotional charge of a symbol before its exact meaning. Often the symbol arrives unconsciously, and reasoning catches up over time, layering understanding gradually like a processing phase. Because of this process, ambiguity naturally enters the work. At the same time, I also cultivate ambiguity intentionally. The way I frame and position a symbol is as important as the symbol itself. Its placement becomes a device to open multiple interpretations rather than close them down.

Interview with EJ Lee

EJ Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who transforms language into physical form. Her work often begins with autobiographical poems that explore experiences with dyslexia, trauma, and healing, which then shape the materials, colors, and forms of each piece. From sewn works to wearable garments and installations, her practice turns the instability and imperfections of language into a method for creating meaning.
