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.

Interview with Mara Montagna
Art is a very beautiful and important thing that educates us and makes us appreciate aesthetics.

Artist Spotlight - Miya Ozaki
And just as it is said that a purple cloud appears in the distance after a person has taken the opportunity to depart, I too hope to be guided by an invisible hand to depart on a certain dimension. My daily creative work is part of that process.
Artist Spotlight - Jean Doulliez
Place to the imaginary, on the border of figuration and abstraction so that reading is not immediate. Nothing must be given to see without a part of ambiguity and mystery. The speed of execution is part of this process: it is the love of the sketch and the unfinished. The ephemeral instant of a world in eternal change.
Artist Spotlight - Harry Burleigh
My passion for art has always revolved around beauty, not just in people and places, but also in shapes and colors. With my technical approach to painting, not being certain of the results yet still being driven to produce them is what makes the effort of creation so captivating.
