To do this, you just need to enter the name on your Spotify smartphone. Also, I have an exhibition of my work as a house music DJ specially selected for the theme of “Love Dose.” Cats in love are us, and I estimated the degree of love as a percentage. This helps to reveal the topic as much as possible by capturing emotions in the picture. The colors of the paintings are very minimalistic and natural.”

The beauty of his creations has been showcased in numerous art books, captivating audiences worldwide and leading to the widespread publication and sale of his artwork.

“For me, art means energy; it’s a journey to the “wonderland” where limits do not exist. It’s my dialog between color, light and canvas where can store the vibration and share it with the audience. It is never-ending research for meaning of something that is beyond the limits of our capacity to fully describe in language.

I’m fascinated by the presence and beauty of the universe, which is very visible in my work. Nature, internet, recalls from a dream or vision from meditation are the visual stimuli for my creativity.

My artwork is characterized by richly textured surfaces, which evoke the dynamic of unfettered motion, color sensations and light. Paintings also encompass a wide range of mixed media: oil, acrylic, molding paste etc., which synthesize and connect into a nice harmonic composition to create artwork that elicits emotion in the recipient.”

“Initially, my photos and visual work were separate. During my studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie, the two disciplines came into contact with each other due to the theme of the photographic works. Capturing details such as carved reed, the construction increasingly became a source of inspiration for drawings, embroidery, weaving and braiding.

Later the interest in the cultural-historical elements in the landscape was added. Through research in the archives, learned more about the creation and cohesion of, for example, dikes and quays, waterways, planting along roads and around yards and buildings.

A study of cultural anthropology gave insight into the role that people from all times have played in this. Their work to feed themselves, to move around and to protect themselves against water, weather and wind has made the landscape what it is today: the result of a process of change that has been going on for centuries.

Although there are no people in my landscape photos, they are everywhere in it these days. I try to photographically portray the traces of their activities and their

inspire me in my visual work. Most of the photos were taken in North Holland; a varied landscape, in which many characteristic elements can be discovered. The changing of the seasons, times of the day and different types of weather always give it a different look, so that it always invites me to go out with the camera.

Because photography, visual work and cultural-historical research have become so closely linked in recent years, this site contains, in addition to photo series, also articles written by me, in which striking landscape elements are the subject. Their origin is usually explained by archival research, comparing maps, talking to those involved and literature research. As a result, you look at the landscape very differently and see ‘new’ things every time.”

Andréa was partially educated at the Academy for Photography and the School of Arts and Design and she is an awarded visual artist. Her photography is mainly in black and white. Andréa feels this strengthens her focus and leaves the observation more or less, timeless.

“From an early age, I was drawn to images, visual stimuli made a deep impression. Nowadays, this is still the same. love to look at images, artworks, the sky, people’s faces, or the way light and shadow slide into the room. At some point, felt that words couldn’t express to a full extent what observed. Either I tried to explain too much or, as it seems, not enough. Photography, to me, is a way of communicating a certain feeling, observation or scenery which is hard to capture in words. It’s an attempt to evoke and share and to somehow silence the moment for a while.”

Robert Ram

“In his bizarre sceneries, Robert Ram applies highly idiosyncratic principles of composition, spiced up with a touch of satire. His work is a fantastic, surrealist symbiosis of natural motifs and mystery with an element of mysticism. His sense of fairy-tale magic and poetry has an immediate emotional appeal. At the same time, looking at his work creates the illusion of entering a nondescript ahistorical past that, as it is experienced, turns into the present once again. Paradoxically, the artist’s realistic painting style presents a fantastic world of images that refuses to imitate reality, resorting to the language of association and provocative dimensions instead.”

“Painting is a passion of the mind and soul. Where it comes from, I know not. The process starts with just a few swipes of paint on the canvas, and then the symphony begins. Here and there, another color is added, with no clear idea of what will appear. Gradually, an image touches the fringes of my mind. Bits and pieces of a vague outline trigger subconscious thoughts, experiences, places, or people. see a path through the mind onto the canvas. There may be many detours has been sighted.”

Titus (C. T. Eichenberger)

Titus (C. T. Eichenberger) is a Swiss artist who resides and works in the countryside. Over the years, he has created a substantial body of work in a genuine style, largely unaffected by passing trends in the art world.

Through the motion of his strokes, Titus allows pictures to “grow,” often giving rise to impressions of otherworldly

However, these impressions remain transient. He plays with forms that are reminiscent of symbols and archetypes, referencing art history, yet he typically refrains from providing

This intentional approach disperses the intellectual focus and allows viewers to engage with

“Cave”

Due to its size and compositional setting, we feel as if we are inside the painting when standing in front of it. It immerses us in the depths of a cave while our gaze is directed towards the outside. However, we are only able to see a fraction of what lies beyond, with a horizon that provides no indication of direction.

This situation can be compared to the human condition of being enclosed within a body, which we perceive the external world. What we see is not reality itself, but rather a limited understanding shaped by our individual capacities. Despite this, the artwork evokes a sense of security, warmth, and openness, devoid of any threatening elements. It allows for personal interpretation and does not impose any predetermined meaning.
