A Conversation with Artist Matthew McHugh.

I invite Paleolithic cave art into surreal worlds to reflect on the vastness of time and the transience of individual human life. Humanity as we know it would not exist without the foundational contributions of the earliest people. In that sense, cave art constantly overshadows the present and prompts us to ask what our place is within the larger story of humanity.

A Conversation with Artist Zeynep Beler.

On a personal level it's about being aware of your individual reality - not just life and the arts but even science is interpreted through the limited scope of human awareness. It's also about maintaining an inner life, with a boundary that remains porous to your community.

A Conversation with Artist JOFRE OLIVERAS

Murals carry a monumental quality, but they also demand a deep sense of responsibility—you’re occupying public space with something that can’t be ignored.

A Conversation with Artist Jon Parlangeli

I was born in Windham, Connecticut and moved to the Detroit area as a small child. My heart has always been with the East Coast, and between the mountains and the ocean my soul has always resided there. That said, the sheer impact of the City of Detroit, from elegant sky scrapers to abandoned houses and devastated neighborhoods of the 80s and 90s, I began to develop a fascination with natural objects as they encountered man made elements, new and decaying. This fascination grew into an obsession for spatial relationships, texture, composition and happy accidents in art.

A Conversation with Artist LINDA TOOLSEMA

By drawing from observation, we are observing our subject so much better and see so much more, and I feel that builds a special connection. It imprints the place – and whatever is happening there at that moment – in our memory.

A Conversation with Artist ANDREAS LISS

What has always mattered more to me is making art, not necessarily being an artist. For me, art is a way of having an ongoing inner dialogue – with myself, and with the world I move through. It's a tool for searching, questioning, and sometimes even healing.

A Conversation with Artist SETH ELLISON

I’ve always thought of certain kinds of art as a window, an attempt to let others glimpse what the artist saw and felt, if only for a moment. In this way,the content is less important than the format of painting itself.

A Conversation with Artist VIRGINIA KRALJEVIC

I believe that by building a strong foundation within yourself, you can inspire others simply by being the example. Creating art has always been about self-discovery: peeling back layers and finding the essence of things.

A Conversation with Artist KIMGISUNG

I am creating an art book that interprets and reimagines the many forms of love I experienced in Taiwan from my own perspective.

A Conversation with Artist POSHICHI

I hope viewers will feel a moment of peace, recall cherished things or people, smile, and find joy in living in the present.

A Conversation with Artist HANIEL FONSECA

I seek for my work to function as an abject platform of action for peripheral perspectives, distanced from the center.

A Conversation with Artist JOHN BORN

I've taken all my thoughts and feelings and energy and I've put them into this thing.

A Conversation with Artist GIANNA COMMITO

I want people to feel compelled by the surface and materials I use, because they are seductive and unusual, but also to feel a little unnerved or unsettled by the image that the materials build towards. My paintings usually have some sort of central axis and internal compass that keeps them righted, but my job is to upset that just a little so that the viewers' footing is a little uncertain, like standing on a boat or stepping off an escalator.

A Conversation with Artist SARA SUPPAN

The literal subject matter of my paintings is always changing, although there are some objects and motifs I seem drawn to: paintings of drawings, smiley faces, butterflies, ants, strong patterns, houseplants. The thing it always comes back to is beauty undercut by goofiness.

A Conversation with Artist MARY RONAYNE

In my work, I use joy and humour as an entry point, a kind of disguise or softener for deeper themes — like desire, excess, social performance, and the quiet absurdities of daily life. I’m a keen observer of people and the things we try to conceal, especially our longings. I like to explore these tensions with a wink — expressing them in ways that are both visually rich and psychologically complex.

A Conversation with Artist EMILY PETTIGREW

My work often deals with the density of time. I search out places where the depth of human interaction with the land can be felt and seen and, though I am interacting with these places in my modern life, create a sense of disorientation of past and present. I find these places to be like portals or areas where the veil thins to a larger understanding of the vastness of geological time and the minuteness of the scale of an individual’s reference.

A Conversation with Artist NICK OFFER

Often, I find the opposing forces of organic and synthetic elements to be stimulating – particularly as this emergence occurs more and more frequently in life. Also elements of light and dark, abstraction and realism, Apollonian and Dionysian (i.e., passive and aggressive – a placid blue sky, for example, combined with a violent streak of black).

A Conversation with Artist ANDREAS ENGLUND

The series is narrative-driven, detailed, and conceptually layered. It’s about reinterpreting history and showing that the essence of youth, rebellion, and social interaction has always existed, just in different forms. It’s seriously detailed. but playful, ”seriously unserious,” and continues my focus on storytelling through people and scenes.

A Conversation with Artist ENRIC OLIVER

When I was fully dedicated to Concept art and illustration, I was commissioned to illustrate an expansion for the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. The project was so complex that it pushed me to grow in terms of organization, precision, and commitment.
