INTERVIEWS.
Olivia Hicolaou is an American dancer, filmmaker, ephemeral sculptor, and friend to the wind and the sea. Her practice is less the work of an artist as an individual, and more a collaboration between the conscious being and the ecological world. Utilizing what can possibly be described as "sculpting fabrics," a dancer sets foot in an ecological landscape and enters into communion with the wind.
Petros Thanos, MD, PhD, is a Greek visual artist and Urologic Surgeon based in Thessaloniki, Greece. Thanos is the founder of Emotional Realist Expressionism (ERE), a movement defined by his manifesto “The Indivisible Triad”: every work must simultaneously hold real human presence, authentic emotional charge, and expressionist freedom, with none of the three ever dominating.

Guided by a deep commitment to material integrity and sustainability, she elevates reclaimed paper into complex compositions that explore texture, structure, light, and shadow. Flavia Lovatelli
Saman Zahawi is an Iraqi-Canadian artist and architect born in Baghdad in 1967. His practice is rooted in Arab culture, philosophy, and identity - expressed through ‘Silent Art’, his signature form of contemporary Arabic calligraphy that transforms words into a visual and spiritual experience.

Alina Khafizova is an award-winning artist who works in digital and traditional media. Her work spans traditional and digital media, including gouache, watercolour, pencil, and digital illustration.
Charlotte Sapene is a Venezuelan artist living and working between Mexico and Nicaragua. Her work grows from a lived experience of displacement and the ongoing attempt to feel at home. She paints narrative landscapes where human figures move through emotional and psychological terrains shaped by memory, distance, and uncertainty.
Irene is an emerging abstract artist based in Sydney, Australia. Working primarily in textured abstract painting, her work explores themes of emotion, resilience, identity, and transformation through layered surfaces and expressive mark-making. Through a process that embraces spontaneity and experimentation, Irene creates works that reflect the complexity of human experience.
Brigitte Merz started taking photographs at a young age, inspired by her grandfather. In her twenties, she travelled the globe and discovered her passion for landscape and street photography, be it colour or B&W. Today, she is also experimenting with abstract approaches.
TOVA is a multidisciplinary artist based between Dubai and London, working across abstract painting, music, and poetry. Her practice explores how structure and emotion coexist, using geometric frameworks and expressive colour to hold shifting inner states. TOVA’s practice unfolds through two key authorial concepts: TOVA NUTS, which take the form of sculptural artworks, and TOVA WORLDS.
Arseniy Valter is an architect, audiovisual artist, and creative director based in Barcelona, Spain. Originally from Russia, he positions his practice in opposition to the war in Ukraine and works across moving image, 3D motion, digital art, sound, scenography, and spatial design. Valter has developed a multidisciplinary practice between cinema, fashion, advertising, and ephemeral architecture.
Marvi Khan is a Pakistani-Canadian artist residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. Marvi’s art reflects her interest in humanity’s intangible thoughts and feelings.

Why.Not.Me is a conceptual artist based in the Scottish Highlands whose practice emerged from the profound experience of displacement. Her signature series, "Armours of Meanings," sits at the intersection of urban brutalism and ancient protection rituals, drawing inspiration from the raw, unyielding textures of metropolitan landscapes.
Galina Bleikh is a multidisciplinary artist. Her artistic expertise spans a rich spectrum of art fields, including AI art, 3D art, AR and VR, bio art, video art, generative art, and more.

Divya Vinod Gilatar is a contemporary Indian artist whose practice weaves together sacred geometry, yogic philosophy, and the evolving landscape of modern spiritual identity. Born in Mumbai and currently based in the United Kingdom, she works under her creative identity The Queendom Studio, creating large-scale digital mandalas that function as meditative fields and energetic diagrams.
Misha Nicholas is a contemporary artist whose practice encompasses digital collage, photography, and illustration.

Zurab Natsvaladze is a self-taught artist and a member of the Polish Artists’ Association. Born with an innate curiosity and a drive for self-expression, his creative journey continues to evolve.
Courtney Nichelle Coble is a multidisciplinary sculptor whose practice investigates psychological containment, repetition, and internal systems of pressure through materially dense resin forms. Working primarily with epoxy resin embedded with everyday objects, Coble compresses symbolic matter into restrained, mask-like structures cast from her own likeness.
Nano Nasty is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of the creative brand Nano Nasty. Currently based in Spain, she is known for her expressive, intuitive, and enigmatic works that span painting, sculpture, installation, and participatory art projects.

Donoh Lee (born. 1995) is a Canadian/South Korean Painter emerging on a World-Class scale for his abstract and metaphysically driven paintings. His research embodies abstract experimentation, transporting the supernatural forms of memory, emotion, and the spirit to excavate and extract moments from within, circulating in his internal landscape.
Long Phi Tran (b. 1989) is a Vietnamese ink painter based in Ho Chi Minh City. Working with traditional East Asian ink on paper, he develops a restrained monochrome language that examines scale, solitude, and the fragile position of the individual within systems of power. His practice merges material discipline with conceptual inquiry, allowing emptiness and contrast to function as psychological and structural tension.
Anastasiya Kao is a contemporary artist working in a unique technique that combines crystal, mirror, glass, and resin. Through her works, she explores themes of human boundaries, inner strength, and transformation, turning light and reflection into metaphors of consciousness and rebirth. Each of Anastasiya’s creations is a dialogue between fragility and resilience, destruction and regeneration.
Lachlan Howard is a multi-media sculptor and photographer from Ocracoke, North Carolina.

Artem Mayer (b. 1989) is a guitar maker and contemporary artist based in Moscow, Russia. His work sits between luthiery and contemporary art, and his practice is guided by a simple principle: he makes what he personally wants to make and what gives him genuine enjoyment. If the result resonates with others, that is a welcome outcome, but not the starting point.
Julian Newme is a contemporary visual artist based in Vigo, Spain. His practice spans painting, digital art, printmaking, and hybrid visual formats, often incorporating text and image-based elements. Working across physical and digital media, his work reflects an ongoing engagement with contemporary visual culture and the emotional dimensions of experience.
João Sobreira is a visual artist whose practice interrogates the limits of painting by expanding it into processes of sound, performativity, and phenomenological research. Operating between material gesture and experiential perception, his work addresses notions of authorship, self-erasure, and the role of chance as a generative force.
KR Windsor is an analogue and digital artist who draws inspiration from the written world. His work queries the tension between the visual and the semantic; it seeks out the faultlines that form as writing objectifies language, converting time (spoken word) into space (written word).
Eva Oleandr is a UK/Russia-based emerging artist whose work serves as a portal to a reality bent through the prism of her imagination, creating new perspectives and narratives that invite viewers to question the conventional. Inspired by a profound love for nature and a deep engagement with philosophical concepts, Eva’s surreal compositions are imbued with a mythical and symbolic resonance.

Nat Lap is an artist and trained director originally from Belarus. Her practice explores mental states through photography, scanning, and AI-driven collage, transforming internal tension into tangible, reflective objects. At the heart of her work lies a fascination with the impermanence of life, its constant motion, and final dissolution, understood not as an end, but as a return to the cycles.
Yota Yamaguchi was born and still lives in Kobe City, Japan. Yota Yamaguchi wants to express his thought that there is no superiority or inferiority among races and cultures, and that diversity brings colour to the world, which is why it is important to recognise differences and respect each other through the works he produced.
Elena Sergeevna Popova (b. 1982, Moscow) is a visual artist living and working in Cyprus. For her, painting is her way of slowing down time and holding on to what would otherwise be lost. She finds inspiration in the sea, in music and dance, and in the fragile emotions that pass quickly in human life. Her works carry a sense of stillness, a quiet space where the viewer can stop and simply feel.
Krystyna Vinogorodska is a European artist and a graduate of the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture. Her work bridges classical training with experimental forms of contemporary art. She creates spaces where time dissolves, placing the viewer in a threshold between past and future, between what has been forgotten and what is yet to come.
Kamila Hyo’s artistic practice is rooted in oil painting and explores the interplay of space, light, and colour. Her creative process is not a linear act of execution, but a slow unfolding, a shaping and transformation of the subject over time. Each motif undergoes a silent metamorphosis while remaining anchored in its essential nature, as if suspended in a timeless moment.
Yana Jigsaw is an interdisciplinary artist based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Yana's art becomes a poignant reflection of her extraordinary life experiences, from her devout upbringing to her profound love for technology and programming. Her creations stand as a testament to the transformative power of creativity, serving as a source of healing, inspiration, and metamorphosis.
