BYDORAPAL works in oil, but her art moves beyond paint and canvas. Each piece functions as a story, translating emotions that often escape words into visual form. Classical fashion and elegance thread through her work, yet her focus is not just surface beauty. She paints as a way of reaching inward, giving shape to memory, balance, and reflection. Every stroke matters—whether a fine glaze or a confident sweep, it becomes part of a larger dialogue. Her paintings radiate calm while hinting at something deeper, fragments of dream and feeling layered together. This vision has earned her recognition across borders, with…
Michel Marant, born on August 4, 1945, in Saint-Junien, France, has shaped an artistic path that remains firmly anchored in the land and the pulse of everyday life. He trained at the National School of Decorative Arts in Limoges and is registered with the Maison des Artistes. Over the years, his practice has leaned toward a personal interpretation of contemporary art nouveau, where pencil, acrylic, oil, and collage converge across canvas, cardboard, and paper. His presence extends beyond France. He is part of “Academy Atlanta” in the United States, included in art market references such as AKOUN and ART PRICE,…
David R.L., 29, is an autistic artist, poet, and musician based in Marshalltown, Iowa. Seventeen years of creating have shaped his life, with art as both compass and anchor. He picked up a pencil at seven, drawn first to ancient Egyptian objects and still life studies, not knowing those early sketches would open a path that now includes painting, poetry, and music. For him, creativity is not hobby or escape—it is language. It is how thought takes form, sometimes through paint, sometimes through rhythm, sometimes through silence. It links what he feels inside to the world outside. His work does…
Yee Wong’s Forever Bloom Bloom is a visual statement wrapped in contradiction, humor, and stark beauty. The artwork reimagines Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, one of the most iconic paintings in art history, but replaces her enigmatic face with a surreal, explosive bloom — a dense, alien-like flower in full, wild eruption. The word “FOREVER” is stamped across her chest in bold yellow letters, a reminder and a dare. What happens when beauty becomes absurd? When a timeless image is disturbed, yet still somehow serene? Wong’s reinterpretation invites these questions but offers no fixed answers. This piece doesn’t rely on subtlety — instead,…
Born in the quiet elegance of The Hague, Netherlands, Andréa Lobel has shaped a photographic practice rooted in emotional connection. She studied at the Academy for Photography and later at the School of Arts and Design, but it’s the intent behind her work that defines her. Lobel doesn’t just take pictures—she builds moments that allow viewers to feel like they’re standing in the room with her subjects. She works in spaces where emotion, performance, and precision meet. Her photography is not distant observation. It’s intimate, deliberate, and curious. She’s especially interested in the relationship between light and perception—how a setting…
Pasquale J. Cuomo has spent over fifty years behind the lens, navigating photography’s changing landscape with a quiet but unwavering commitment. An American photographer with deep roots in the craft, Cuomo has witnessed photography evolve from analog to digital and, in a way, back again. Where others chased convenience, Cuomo found value in process—particularly in the tactile, deliberate approach of film. His work reflects patience, a sharp eye, and a deep connection to place. Today, as many rediscover the power of traditional film, Cuomo stands as someone who never let it go. He doesn’t just take pictures—he builds them from…
Bea Last is a Scottish artist whose work cuts deep into the intersections of memory, material, and meaning. Living and working in the Scottish Borders, Last builds her practice around what she calls “sculptural drawing,” using salvaged, recycled, and gifted materials to shape installations that feel both grounded and ephemeral. Her art doesn’t exist to sit quietly in the corner. It speaks, it pushes, it mourns, and it reflects. Every piece she creates seems to ask the same question: how much can a material hold, and how far can it stretch to carry the weight of lived experience? She doesn’t…
Alexandra Jicol is an artist who doesn’t just make work—she searches. Her art is shaped by a deep need to understand what it means to be human. Emotions, memories, and fleeting expressions are at the center of her practice. She doesn’t stay within stylistic borders or follow expected paths. Instead, she moves where the feeling takes her. Jicol’s work is personal, intuitive, and grounded in a genuine fascination with people—their joy, their pain, their truths. Over the years, she’s created a style that resists easy labels. She’s not interested in technical perfection. She’s after something much harder to pin down—what…
Caroline Kampfraath is a Dutch artist whose work explores the fragile, gritty, and deeply human spaces where emotion meets matter. She doesn’t simply make art; she constructs meaning out of texture, memory, and confrontation. Known for her 3D installations, Kampfraath doesn’t shy away from using unexpected materials—metal cans, old bottles, and even human body casts—layering them into sculptural forms that explore our relationship with nature, society, and ourselves. Her work is personal, but not insular. It invites the viewer into a shared dialogue. Kampfraath’s art is not about shock value; it’s about digging beneath surfaces—literally and metaphorically. Her practice moves…
In Canberra, Australia, Kirandeep Grewal is building something that goes beyond the studio. Her art lives at the edge of personal and collective memory, rooted in community and cultural reflection. Grewal isn’t content to simply make something beautiful. She’s asking questions, challenging assumptions, and quietly reimagining what it means to be an artist. Her background bridges creativity with service. As a teacher, she shares her process. As a community collaborator, she fosters healing and conversation. And as an artist, she creates work that is layered, tactile, and deeply meditative. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s central. Each piece carries the imprint of…
