Art Review, Contemporary Art, Painting

To encounter Côté’s dimensional paintings is to feel how the artwork refuses the quickness of contemporary image culture without resorting to nostalgia. The rigor of her hard-edged forms, the disciplined clarity of her color, and the insistence of her constructed extensions make a persuasive case for abstraction as a civic language, one capable of training new habits of seeing. Her contribution to the contemporary field lies precisely here: she restores to geometry its capacity for lived experience, and to painting its ability to be a site of encounter rather than a mere surface of display. In that restoration, the work offers something rare: a renewed confidence that looking can still be transformative.

I create art as a means to understand and interpret the world around me. From a young age, I found solace in the interplay of colors, textures, and shapes—elements that could convey stories beyond the capacity of words. My artistic process is deeply intuitive, involving a continuous cycle of layering, erasing, and rebuilding. This approach reflects the way each of us navigates our own evolving identities. Through my work, I hope to evoke moments of recognition and connection, fostering a sense of shared experience with others.

I am a Hungarian painter dedicated to creating unique, personalized artworks that transform spaces and evoke deep emotions. My artistic journey began with decorative wall painting, which gradually led me to the canvas, where I found my true passion. Each painting I create is not just a visual piece but a deeply personal expression—an artwork that tells a story, recalls memories, and becomes a meaningful part of its owner’s life.

Everything starts randomly, like a sort of throw of the dice: placing geometric shapes on the stretched canvas or paper based on the principle of composition. Each shape carries within it the design of the six or seven others that compose it: lines and forms emerge from this intersection, which itself generates many more to come. Gestures, color fields, and lines, whether white, black, or colored, attach in turn to these generative forms in the unpredictability of a “free association” process.

For me, making marks is the initial objective. Finding images that speak to me in an intuitive and expressive manner remains the goal each time I work. I think of myself as a painter first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing. After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.

Regarding “existence” and “mind,” I hold a singular philosophy within my own worldview, one that rejects all preconceived notions. At the foundation of my creative practice lies the eternal resonance of painting, shaped through a spiritual dialogue inherent in “existence” itself. I perceive the complex dynamic and static patterns that permeate nature as manifestations of space and time, and I intuitively sense and render the soul and emotions dwelling within the subject.

The purpose of my work is to transmit cosmic knowledge through color and visual beauty. Cosmic knowledge sought me to carry out this creative work. I have only let myself go. The evolution of technology is intimately related to my creative process. And technology is connected to cosmic beings. So there is a transmission of cosmic beings to the viewers of my photographic work. In reality, it is my duty as an artist to generate this transmission of data and emotions. And thus evolve.

But it was not until May of 2020 that Printz picked up a paintbrush. Hoping to bring life back to a world plagued by the pandemic, Gayle Printz soared to international fame by creating a revolutionary new style of visual expression articulated through an unprecedented artistic language never before heard. Printz’s paintings speak a uniquely universal language in a voice that embraces our communal soul, making Gayle Printz’s unmatched contributions to the art world historically enduring.

My art is a dialogue between psychology and painting — a space where inner conflicts, fears, and existential questions take visual form. Drawing on psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, I explore identity, time, and the fragile boundary between illusion and reality. Each work reflects an emotional experience — despair, anxiety, temptation, or the search for self — embodied through vivid contrasts of light, shadow, and symbolic imagery. My goal is to reveal what is usually hidden and to give voice to the invisible and unspoken aspects of human existence.

As a visionary artist, I embark on a transformative journey to unravel the profound depths of the human experience. My artistic practice is a symbiotic dance between imagination and reality, where I strive to transcend the limitations of the tangible world and explore the infinite realms of possibility. My art should captivate the viewer so that they can get lost in the vast horizons of the present. What triggers me to create a painting are the emotions I want to pass on, which is also why people might identify with my works. Instead of letting myself or my art down on the spectrum of political or elite thoughts, I want the viewer to find truth when decoding my works. The layers I aim at are way above that and deal with consciousness and the highest off all. LOVE

I see my work as a parallel system of coded information. The flowers, the forms, the textures—they are not just images but systems of meaning, built through labor, through repetition, through the body’s engagement with the canvas. They are a kind of financial metaphor: not in numbers, but in the way they accumulate, resist, and hold value in a different form.

In the last three decades, Standa has been creating wall-mounted, cast resin, and aluminum sculptures combined with canvas and gold leaf, and I have been exploring the computer as an art tool for creating digital artwork. All his life, he has loved to create art full of emotions and feelings, "soul," with the satisfaction of fun. He is also interested in the balance and composition of colours and objects rather than the items' reality.

I work with fragments, surfaces, and the slow language of erosion. My images are not constructed as scenes, but uncovered as traces – layers shaped by time, interruption, and quiet transformation. What appears is never complete; it lingers between presence and absence, structure and dissolution. The work invites a pause, a moment of listening, where memory settles into matter and silence becomes part of the image.
